Ok enough side tracking BRSM!
by that logic my m120-powered rifle must be witchcraft because it does 700fps with .12g bbs and can dump 14.8v (or 18.5v with a bigger fuse) lipos without breaking.

if you're only getting 460 in an aeg and 488fps with a p*, you're not trying hard enough:

back on topic:
g&p guns are fantastic. they do need work out of the box, but for tinkerers it doesn't really matter because we (I) can fix a gearbox, but I don't have the facilities to make my own receivers.

maybe only $100 of parts (gears, piston, mosfet, sorbo pad), a little effort put into learning (reshimming via bevel method), and your shiny (or matte) new g&p will last longer than most people are interested in running around with a bunch of other fat dudes in a field.
