This is mostly from a collector's point of view although I try to attend couple events every now and then.

*Does anyone actually think these things are skirmishable/gameable here in Canada?
Can't say for sure because I don't have a lot of gaming experience but for indoor games, I think so.

* Would you ditch ALL your AEGs/PTWs to go over to the gas-side?
Yes. Already in process of doing so. I've sold my TM PSG1, P90 and now M4 AEGs. Ever since I got my WE M4 GBB, all my AEGS started looking like super soakers. Its probably partly due to all my AEGs being plastic, but comparing the WE M4 and AEG M4, the difference between their dimensions, proportion and weight balance was like night and day.
Semi fire action is something I really enjoy and I have spent hundreds on trying to improve my AEGs trigger response with no satisfaction. One of the reason why I tried PSG1 but then again with the thing sounding like a sewing machine, I quickly lost interest. With GBB rifles I didn't have to worry about that.

I have not tried PTWs. I hear their trigger response is pretty good but PTW isn't something I would buy. There are people who invest their money to buy a PTW and I respect that but I won't be purchasing a PTW.

* Are you positioning your GBBR as just a fun gun? Occasional use? Full-on go-to primary?
As a collector's point of view, its fantastic. The recoil and the bolt catch action is so much fun. Love the realistic takedown, I mentioned better proportion already so its a very fun thing to handle. I plan to use it occasionally, upgrade it to better specs and maybe as I move on to playing skirmish games outdoors in the future, I hope more aftermarket parts make it as reliable as the current AEGs.
