One lucky guy

that is pretty sweet looking...i was looking into getting something like that but since i am a total newbie to the sport i was thinking i want to stay away from GBB just cause i want less overall maintenance...so i found this aeg, 'G&G Standard G3 SAS,'
im not one for mods but i like knowing that if something gives the gun isnt total scrap, so i guess just cause i leave my gun stock (i only have one, this would be #2 for me) doesnt mean i dont want something that can me repaired thru available aftermarket mods and parts
but an i wrong in assuming that GBBRs vs AEGs are for more experienced techy gun user? aegs always struck me as less maintenance but i dont know much..

tbh I'm a collector so I don't know much about maintenance. but if you are into gaming then most people would suggest AEGs as they are lower maintenance. with AEGs you also don't need to carry around that many mags since AEG mags are high capacity usually

the maintenance isn't more advanced, it's just different.
AEG's, internals break, mechboxes need to be regreased, things need to be cleaned.
GBBRs, cleaning, more frequent lubricating, and sealing leaky mags.
