-- G&G GR16A2 Carbine (Pneumatic Blowback)
2) Date Purchased
-- December 2010
3) Cost
-- $350
4) New/Used?

5) Mechanical Problems
-- Gearbox: None! Performance by consistency is impressive

Gun was very well-treated but stress fractures developed through regular course of use at the point where retaining extension and lower body proper meet. Continued use would have resulted in stripping/ mangling of contact with gearbox shell.
Less than one season of indoor/ outdoor use.

-- None (plastic lower receiver)
7) Rounds Fired Between Failures
-- (~5000 to date)
8) Changes to Internals & Externals
-- Metal body (post failure, significant aftermarket compatibility issues)
9) Resale Date and Value
-- Costs associated exceed value
