Remember we're talking VFC hk416 AEG vs WE hk416 GBBR here. This essentially boils down to AEG vs GBBR. Comparing the two's performance is like comparing the tastiness of an apple to an orange. It can be done, but at the end of the day, it boils down to personal preference.
The big things to take into account are:
--- Maintenance
GBBRs are easy to break down but require lots of maintenance.
AEG require very little maintenance(for the most part none), but when they do, are much more complex to open up and fix.
If you dont like to maintain your gun often, dont get the GBBR, or you'll run into a lot of headaches. AEGs are relatively maintenance free and if anything goes wrong, you can always bring it to a gun doc
Also note that WE gbbbrs are prone to nozzle breaks and occasionally get leaky mags that you will have to also maintain. In general, GBBRs have a higher chance problems than AEGs. Especially when you're talking VFC hk416 aeg vs WE hk416 GBBR. Also note that GBBR owners should have a better knowledge of their own guns and how it works than an AEG owner does.
--- Ballistics
GBBRs in general have more range (not necessarily more accuracy).
AEGs in general have much more sustained firepower due to their allowance of higher capacity magazines, and do not suffer from cool down like GBBRs do.
--- Against the elements
GBBRs will work anywhere except in the cold. GBBRs are affected by temperature. Performance will dramatically decrease when it starts getting cold. THey may work, but not well.
AEGs in general are considered all weather. Even rain as long as you dont submerge your AEG in water. Just remember to dry ur gun off after play. You dont want any rust build up.
--- Magazines
GBBR mags are MUCH more expensive and heavy than AEG mags.
Also, GBBR mags will require more maintenance than AEG mags. (WE GBBR m4 V2 mags however are considered pretty lower maintenance due to a better design resulting in less leaks). AEG mags in general are very simplistic and require minimal maintenance.
Reminder: GBBR mags are low capacity(30). AEG mags can be low(~30), mid(~120), or high (~300+) capacity. If you get a GBBR, you'll end up carrying MUCH mag more to compensate for the lower capacity per mags which are already much more heavy.
--- Realism
In the case of VFC hk416 aeg vs WE HK416 gbbr, VFC HK416 aeg will look nicer, but simply cant replicate the realistic feeling of shooting a GBBR. It goes down to recoil when shooting, the mechanical trigger, a nice loud shooting sound (no motor whining), bolt locking back and releasing it once a fresh mag is inserted.
Also, ar15 style GBBRs in general are compatible for the most part with real steal firearms accessories such as stocks, grips, buffer tubes, mag releases, charging handle, etc.
--- MISC
- GBBRs usually have an after market part called an NPAS. It usually is required to adjust your velocity thus allowing you to use ur gbbr for both CQB and larger Outdoor fields.
- AEGs are quieter than loud GBBRs. Whining motor is much quieter than rapidly expanding gas colliding with the air.
- GBBRs have recoil and can ruin cheap clone sights where as AEGs dont. This restricts your choice of optics if u get a GBBR.
--- Conclusion.
When it comes to pure performance and ease of use, AEGs will come out on top. The ability to use mid and high caps and the rsulting firepower simply dwarf the GBBR's further range. Does this mean that you cant do well with a GBBR? Nope. It just means that using a GBBR requires more skill to do well.
GBBRs are much more expensive and care intensive to run. Not only are mags expensive, but in order to compensate for lwoer round count, you carry more and the amount of money put into them snow balls.
I think i may have missed a few things here n there. But the thing here to highlight is that not one is better than the other. The VFC hk416 aeg and the WE hk416 GBBR are both good at what they do. They just do different things.
edit: crap....im an idiot. You meant vfc hk416 gbbr....not aeg :banghead:
