Yes. And I had quite the opposite experience.

Fairly easy to work on Fairly, but not much available.
High Ammo Capacity Comparable to GBB counterparts.
Cheap Magazines True

Cons:
Low FPS (when did this become a con?) When it's too low that you get terrible range, that it makes very little sound on impact (thus unintended lack of hit calling) and that they can't be legally imported.
Limited upgrades ...and replacement parts as well.
No Blow Back Indeed.
Stock battery sucks. Indeed.
No aftermarket batteries - either ACM (CYMA) or TM.
Mags don't really fit securely in anything.


So yeah, if you buy a stock AEP they kinda suck. But slap in a few upgrades and a 7.4v lipo (no harder that wiring a gun/bettery to deans) and suddenly you have a monster of a pistol. I have gone up against Full size AEG's and won with my Cyma G18c.
