How do gas blow backs actually feel?
ive got a couple 5.56 ARs and fring the gbbr m4 in comparison feels like shooting a suppressed .22lr: not much sound or kick, yet still satisfying. the operation, takedown, and controls are practically identical. gas can sometimes visibly spew out of the ejection port and muzzle which is cool lol
i had an electric g36c before the m4. everything about the m4 is more fun, except loading the mags (expect 30-60 round capacity per $20-40 mag). if you're shooting for fun, want cheap practice that will translate well in real-world applications, and/or plan on joining mil-sim games, I'd say get the gas gun. otherwise the high-capacity bullet-hose characteristics of an AEG (or fusion engine) will always work better in competition
