That's true to a certain extent. However, when something does go wrong (and it always does in this hobby), it is generally far easier to diagnose and fix on a GBBR than an AEG due to less moving parts and the simpler operating design of the GBBR. I've fixed my GBBRs in the field and got them up and running in less than 10 minutes with the handful of spare parts I always carry with me. But when my AEG goes down, more often then not, it's down for the day.
