Gas Blowback Assault Rifles

If you love the military look and like to dabble in GBBRs, the EMG CGS Daniel Defense DDMK18 GBBR should suit you perfectly. This full metal GBBR is licenced by Daniel Defense through EMG, boasting immaculate engraved trademarks across the design, and is based on the much-lauded Tokyo Marui ZET System internally, which is excellent news! 

The ZET system is widely regarded as the best GBBR internal system around, and CGS (CYMA Gas System) has made it even better, throwing in a generous complement of steel parts including the bolt carrier, trigger group and bolt catch. This means a longer lifespan than rival GBBRs and heavier recoil thanks to the added mass from the steel bolt carrier. Also inside is a 6.04mm tightbore inner barrel, a nice deal sweetener that improves gas efficiency and accuracy. If you've been weighing up getting into the GBBR game but the cost of fully upgrading a ZET System puts you off, this one has all the steel parts built in!
