GBBR mags are much more expensive and heavier than AEG mags. The current GBBR designs will never replace AEG's market. If GBBR manufactures want to lure current AEG players to GBBR domain, this would not be a bad idea.
If players would want to stick to the standard GBBR mags, of course they should be able to do so. I simply think an additional option for utilizing standard AEG mags, supported by a backup CO2 would be a big plus as well.
On the other side of the coin, there are certain AEG improvements could be made as well. I think the key is the battery sizes. The advancement of LiPo is a great step forward, however there is a safety issue and an additional cost of a separate charger. It would be nice if there are new form of batteries with the size of multiple CR2032 stack together. It could reuse same chargers as for standard NiMH batteries. The same or better throughput/capacity as the current LiPo. This kind of batteries would make our lives much easier. The size of fuse boxes are also in needed to be miniaturized.
The goal is to easily fit a battery, fuse, cables and connectors into a buffer tube.
