You can't drop a V-8 pickup truck's engine in to a tiny Corolla... and likewise, you can't fit a full sized AEGs gearbox in to an AEP or sub-machinegun. It's physically NOT possible.

Looking at it from the other end of the spectrum, although you could fit an AEP gearbox in to a full-sized AEG's frame, there are certain mechanical limitations to such a small gearbox. First of which, is very limited power. With such a short stroke distance, you can't possibly fill enough air volume to push a BB out longer inner barrels.
I'm generalizing... I'm not asking them to put a AK or M16 gearbox in a Glock.

But I mean, the M93r and the Glock have different internals... even the MP5 and the MP5K have different gearboxes!
