Hmm... I always thought the gears were plastic on AEGs, and you had to buy reinforced metal gears for highly upgraded springs... my bad :neutral:
Damn, the m249 has metal ones too, for some reason I thought they were plastic when I first saw the pic... oooppps :innocent:

Probably like AEG's it will have metal gears. Though then again if will last only 500 rds then maybe they are.

Where did you get the info it will only last 5000 rds. That would be a pretty horrible marketing thing for any company to post up. With my 249 I generally went thru a bag of bb's a game so 5000 isn't many in that type of gun.
Look down, there are several pics in one, one shows the whole gearbox with everything in it, one shows it after 5000 rounds in one hour.

Notrus - thanks for pointing that out.

Cheers,
