Just a quick summary since some guys won't read the whole thread...
- this is my summary, may not reflect your personal views
- I've tried to be impartial...if you think part of this is worth changing, let me know why.
Original Questions and Summary Answers So Far:
* Does anyone actually think these things are skirmishable/gameable here in Canada?
- Majority...no & too early to tell...but fracken hope so (that's my own bias

)
- Beginning local field reports...Yes, works well (it was a nice warm weekend running on duster to get under 400), if you get one that works reliably in the first place.
- 1st Gen stuff can be lousy, subsequent replacement parts and versions seem to address issues.
- You get what you pay for...AGM GBBR = FAIL
* Would you ditch ALL your AEGs/PTWs to go over to the gas-side?
- For most...No....but once you have one the AEGs start to gather dust
- For some...Yes. Cannot beat the realism, action and smile factor
* Are you positioning your GBBR as just a fun gun? Occasional use? Full-on go-to primary?
- For most....Fun Gun/Occasional Use/Wall Hanger (tactile reinforcement tool for watching TV/movies

)
- For a few...go 2 primary
Other Notes:
- PTW guys still love their PTWs (for good reason...they are so nicely engineered!

)
- AEGs are tried, tested and true for many...don't want to mess with sucess.
