- 30rnd Magazine
The magazines hold 30 rounds and come in 2 versions. It ships with a internal gas version and there is another version that will take a 12gram CO2 cartridge. Unfortunately the gas magazine that came with the GBBR had a leaky fill valve, but it was an easy fix with a valve tool to tighten the valve and silicon oil to lubricate the O-rings. The CO2 Magazine had no leak issues. The CO2 magazine was slightly more powerful then the gas magazine (See chrono results below) and both held enough gas to shoot 60 rounds with conservative shooting (i.e. Short bursts and semi auto). Curiously, CO2 wasn’t that much more powerful or consistent then Green Gas in this initial firing. Both magazines have a switch that will lock the bolt back on an empty magazine.
The Selector Switch and Magazine Release are ambidexterous, but bolt release is only on the left side. Cocking handle can be installed on either side.
Overall it’s a neat airsoft rifle for the realism aspect. Will report back in regards to durability.
