Before the sub was restricted, a lot of people were posting questions about, or their experiences with, importing “realistic” GBBRs into the US. In order to keep the sub organized and not filled with the same posts, please keep discussions about the topic to this thread.
Discussions regarding countries besides the US will kept to this megathread as well.

I wanted a V3 M4A1, but was disheartened to find out that VFC did not sell one, and the only way to get one was to modify a URGI on your own. Well not anymore I guess.

As said in title. Looking to expand my larp and ”in progress” retro kit. Not 100% convinced to dive into gbbrs because of pure performance. Been teching aegs for several years and am now used to very consistent and accurate rifs. Not afraid of the maintainence, teching or upgrading just not sure i will be satisfied with reliability and performance. Larping will only be as much fun as the rifle can perform. (Have not been impressed with VFCs seen on my local field) Convince me!

Today tested modify X - Range 55° hop up bucking installed on a Tm Akm Gbbr with Ibex NPAS setted on 1J power.
First I used 0,32g Edge Specna Arms Non Bio
After 0,36g Swiss Arms Non Bio
117 Psi Dry Gas and 29 C°.
Mag with Unicorn valve installed.
Result where very satisfying with bb fly straight and tight! In 3-4 round burst too.
Easy Over Op both weight if add hop up so the bucking can lift heavier BB.
Except for external part, the other internal part are stock.
X-Range Bucking approved 100%!
Easy and cheap upgrade.

Hello all!
I'm landing in Warsaw this Monday and need to pick up 2 Gas Blowback HK416's or 2 AR/M4 platform good quality airsoft rifles.
Since I'm on a tight timeline, I want to drop by a physical shop on Monday to pickup the guns as I can't ship them anywhere w/o a cosignee. (If its possible I can buy online and pickup in store but am just unsure which are the best shops)
Does anyone local have recommendations for solid airsoft shops in Warsaw that carry good GBBR stock and magazines right now?
Thanks in advance for any tips - I've left it late and now am starting to stress!

Up to this point I’ve only ever used AEGs but this gun had certainly changed my opinion, making me want another GBB, possibly the WE L85 next.
I do also have to get used to a few challenges like the low magazine capacity and the heavy weight of the mags (carried 5 mags on my plate carrier and the panel started sagging!) but the range and recoil more than made up for it in the fun factor!

Im looking myself to death. Does anyone know where i can get a GHK Glock 17 gen 5 MOS with the factory steel slide? Preferably in Europe
r/GasBlowBack • u/DeanAx3 • 13h ago
Hi all, as the title says, it looks like I’ll need replacements for both my upper and lower receivers. Before I go ahead with that, does anyone have an idea what caused this?
Am I just unlucky, or could it be related to my setup? Is this caused by a front-heavy build combined with my habit of using a magwell grip instead of holding the handguard when shooting?
I’d like to know what to avoid so this doesn't happen again. For context, I’ve had this for about 2 years and only play games once a month.
Internal changes :
APFG Nozzle with NPAS
4UAD Chamber + Unicorn 70 degree bucking
Stock FCG
Stock buffer and stock spring (spring already seems weak)
Stock SR16 BCG

I’m assuming we’ve had these problems before but i was shooting this in bursts and in the trigger group a small silver shim sized piece on the left side of the hammer unscrewed itself causing the hammer to lock up to the side of the lower and im just wondering are they just susceptible to having that happen or is there a way to counter that and I’m doing something wrong

Hello,
I recently got a Staccato C2 blowback CO2 pistol (6mm pro shop T8) to shoot some cans in my garage. Temperatures are reaching 95F almost daily where I live and I noticed that whenever I am shooting a fresh CO2 cartridge in my garage, the gun sometimes won’t blow back all the way, failing to load another BB in the chamber and half-cocking the hammer. The result is that I then have to manually pull the slide before every single shot; when the magazine is empty, the slide doesn’t blow back enough to be caught on the slide stopper. The gun seems to work normally by the end of the cartridge, when I assume pressures are lower, and will also work mostly fine indoors with lower temperatures. Worth noting I can’t press the output valve with my thumb on a fresh cartridge.
Curious to see if anyone has experienced something similar. Is this an effect of higher temperatures increasing the CO2 pressure enough that the blowback system fails? I tried lubricating the slide and blowback unit, and while all feels buttery, the problem still persists.
This is my first GBB, so I may be doing something wrong, any input is appreciated. Please help a homie shoot some cans at the end of the day.

Hey all,
I am looking to get a GBBR just to screw around at home, maybe an game or two very few months.
I am thinking something on the lines of VFC or GHK, but can put my finger in a specific model (something that uses AR pattern magazines)
So, if you had CAD $1000ish (pre tax) to spend, which GBBR would you get?
P.S.: Not factoring in extra mags, consumables, etc. Just the gun.
Thanks!
r/GasBlowBack • u/Far_Economist_6523 • 21h ago
I’ve never seen people talk about these are they any good and do they hold up to their price point? For reference yes I did look for mws mags all over managed to get my hands on one singular mag but other than that I’m pretty lost, saw a deal 3 for 110 in new condition was wondering if yall could help me on some insight

I’ve been wanting too grab a VFC M4A1 or VFC HK416D GBBR’s for awhile now but after looking at how much of a Nightmare importing one to the USA looks I’m just thinking of not going for it, there’s a good chance it gets seized at the Border and there’s no Guarantee I’ll even get it. Why spend over $300 just too get Nothing
