That having been said, the ERG's bolt-lock mechanism seemed a bit flimsy to me - it relies on a proprietary 0.5mm thick pot-metal bar riding under the mechbox.
Agreed, the Bolt B4 has nicer recoil but lacks the realism I want. Though, the first time I tried the KWA RM4 I thought it was pretty much a vibrating AEG as the "recoil" wasn't as impressive as I expected it to be. Recoil also feels like its located farther forwards towards the receiver, than in the buffer tube like the B4. Still, its better than a normal AEG and the proprietary mags are cheap compared to GBBR mags.

Hopefully the 2014 version has a beefed up bolt lock mechanism and some of the issues fixed. Looking forward to checking them out when someone local gets them in stock.
