Also if you keep your gbbr well maintained it will treat you just as well...

First I would like to say, welcome to the forum! Then I’ll point out to you that this is an old thread, so you should not wait for an answer. The last response was made in 2014. But, I’ll go ahead and share my opinion with you.

You should be prepared to field strip your gun during the milsim, and be able to clean it if you have the time. It is a dirty environment. You may not have time to clean it. But if you do and have been in some firefights, or crawling around in the dirt, go ahead and wipe it down clean the barrel, check for function, and lightly lube while reassembling it. But I would strongly suggest making sure it is clean and in full working order before you even start, and carry a secondary.

What is proper GBB maintenance to you?

Please cite your maintenance protocols.

As for a GBBR...it's not about knowledge it's about money. GBBR are very expensive...for a full load-out

And what do you clean the barrel with?

They often do, they are not as durable as an AEG.

Magazine is the first point of failure due to rough handling and Siloxanes damage to the seals on some models.

I own a lot of GBBR guns, a handfull of HPA guns, and have an aeg(this will actually surprise some of the people here). I got my start with GBB sub machine guns. They are a lot of fun, but they have their drawbacks. As mentioned, they do brake and need much maintenance. AEGs need very little maintenance in comparison, just cleaning the barrel for the most part. Heavy use with AEG may cause you to want to open the gearbox to check the gears and regresase. They are relatively reliable, cheaper and lighter to play with. HPAs are expensive, but once they are set up all you need to do is clean the barrel for regular maintenance. So you need to keep in mind the drawbacks of each system when choosing them.

Maybe not to start with. But boy, I sure do love them too. You should look up Uller‘s thread of his builds. He’s spent a lot of time with his.

You can run SA and FA with an AEG.

A GBBR is just expensive.

GBBR - 350EU
EACH Spare Gas Magazine 40 EU (most people carry 8 spare) - 320EU
Gas Adapters and a rig to carry all magazines in empty or full condition - 120EU

See why GBBR's are expensive to get into?
