Google is your best friend for reviews.

Also, buying from that source is akin to sending a naked 12 year old to a NAMBLA convention...

G&G is a fraud
They are a prime example that product quality has nothing to do with making money, and they publish open faced lies on their catalogue, like "every G&G gun works in -40°c"
They make their guns out of weak magnesium alloys that rust easily.
Consider them as a chinese repro company.

Just how "easily" can magnesium rust, when only iron can rust?

I've got a G&G GR16A3. It works just fine.

You may want to first consider, that you can't buy one of these until your age verified.

[mikogel]

okay, but i'm thinking of buying it from mopic and send them my info like drivers lisence etc. Could they then vouch for me and i can get age verified here?

[The Saint]

No.

The geek in me requires me to point out that while only iron 'rusts', most metals will oxidize, and rust is iron oxide,...

Also, the other poster is maybe confusing Magnesium with Manganese? Magnesium will tarnish very quickly (basically instantly on exposure to air) but keeps the process from converting the whole block of magnesium by the means of Self Galvanization. The thin layer of magnesium oxide keeps the rest of it from reacting with air, and is somewhat resistant to rubbing off. Manganese however will act somewhat similarly, but is far more prone to flaking off from what I remember.

I think aluminum does the same thing. Yes No?

[Harbinger of Darkness]

Aluminum does in fact do the same thing. The top layer will oxidize and prevent the rest of the material from coming into contact with the air.
