All open bolt means is there is no brass tube in the receiver

I don't like their "open bolt" naming. It's a misnomer.

Open nozzle is a better term IMHO

People like the Open bolt b/c it makes it more "realistic".

"Open bolt" doesn't mean the same thing in airsoft as it does in real steel. For airsoft, "open bolt" is more of an "open chamber" system as opposed to the "closed chamber" of WE V1,2, and 3 (i.e. brass tube) which WE refers to as closed bolt/AWSS. I believe WE's V4 is intended to be their version of the "open chamber" system which they refer as "open bolt".

It sound way more snappy and ROF is significantly higher with that.

WOW,324 posts,that is quite a read.I own 3 INO's with a forth
on the way.I have had no issues other then the plastic nozzle,
once I switched it to a metal one no issues.I have two bags of
mad bull .20g at 4000 per bag and about 3-4 bags of bbbastards
at 2000 per bag and I'm still going.This is just the one gun.
The others I bought this year and no where near the mileage of
the others yet.

I am currently using GHK mags and I have 15 of them.I also have
the GHK AK74,it is a nice gun,but the mag sucks.I took the valve out
and there are machine tooling lines where it is suppose to be smooth.

Well I can't speak for everyone but....I have had my WE M4 GBBR for just under a year now and it's game-ability is awesome. With a properly adjusted hop-up the accuracy is excellent. As others have said, gas efficiency and fps consistency can be a problem in cold weather, but the realism and sheer quality of an all metal GBBR just cannot be beat. I use mine mainly for indoor CQB or outdoor skirmishes when weather will allow. I use my AEG rarely these days.

To sum up, I don't think GBBR's are going to replace AEG's anytime soon as they are expensive and require more in the way of maintenance, than most players want to deal with. However, if you have the wallet for it...there is just nothing else that comes anywhere near their realism.
