So I was having a discussion with a fellow airsofter in my company about the Combat Machine BlowBack series. He is a big G&G fan, however he warned me away from the CombatMachine Blowbacks, saying that he was disappointed with the quality of the gears (mainly the pinion and sector gear). However, I believe I have read and heard otherwise here. I trust his assessment, but at the same time I trust yall's assessment as well. So my question is, how good is the integrity of the Combat Machine Blowback Series?

The gears are the same between the blow back, non-blow back and Pro-line versions. Nic is correct though. I have had 3 G&G in the shop in one week. These are the Known Issues I have fixed
*Selector Switch came loose on 2 different combat machines M4's (1 blow back, 1 Non)
*Piston Head exploding 3 different M4's 1 of each combat machine (blow back, and Non) and 1 pro line m4
*Gear box front end cracked off a stock spring powered 9.6v battery GI custom blow back (plastic series)
That is all the failures I have seen. I have never had any issues with there gears or pistons. I know Reed destroyed his stock gear set after a crap load of rounds with a M120 spring and 11.1 lipo. But I know Reed abused the hell out of it.

I prefer the Pro-line just for the magnesium body, But have a combat machine coming in for myself. Honestly I think they are top quality for the money and of course your gonna find a few bad apples every once in a while.

Also even though I only got about 12 shots out of my gr15, the blow back wasn't that impressive, you may not care but just letting you know.

We have several G&G M4 combat machines and G16 A2 (full metal) coming this week!
Sorry....no blow back versions.
