Im quite surprised no one mentioned the GBLS gr15 or the American Airsoft Factory (AAF) EBBs.

Both of these EBBs are quite expensive (PTW territory) and are completely new technologies. They however operate quite realistically. Both have a realistic bolt that moves back n forth, decent recoil, and bolt lock on an empty mag.

GLBS GR15 disassembles similar to a real m4, and actually has a bolt that can be taken out and swapped out for higher/lower power. It however takes 60rd proprietary mags.

The AAF ebb has a less realistic disassembly and bolt thats built into its gearbox. Its major selling point though is that it takes any standard AEG mags, and still retains its bolt lock feature.

Both of these are pretty young products. The first run of GBLS guns had quite a few problems, but it seems with the current line of GR15s, most of the issues have been addressed. I think GBLS is partnered up with PTS for getting these into the USA market. Not sure if they have any plans for Canada. AAF is pretty much unproven so far. I only know of one person who has purchased one, but no review yet.

While I can't recommend jumping on the train right now for either of these products, IMO this is the direction airsoft technology should be heading.
