- Licenced Daniel Defense trademarks from EMG
If you love the military look and like to dabble in GBBRs, the EMG CGS Daniel Defense DDMK18 GBBR should suit you perfectly. This full metal GBBR is licenced by Daniel Defense through EMG, boasting immaculate engraved trademarks across the design, and is based on the much-lauded Tokyo Marui ZET System internally, which is excellent news!
The ZET system is widely regarded as the best GBBR internal system around, and CGS (CYMA Gas System) has made it even better, throwing in a generous complement of steel parts including the bolt carrier, trigger group and bolt catch. This means a longer lifespan than rival GBBRs and heavier recoil thanks to the added mass from the steel bolt carrier.

About Gas Blowback Rifles (GBBRs)
GBBR stands for Gas Blowback Rifle and is the next step up from an Airsoft AEG for those who seek a greater challenge and a more immersive experience when skirmishing. These exciting alternatives to AEG and HPA systems work similarly to GBB pistols but on a much larger scale. Their party trick is their unrivalled realism and exciting recoil which cannot be beaten by any other Airsoft gun.
A GBBR is the perfect platform for the AEG user who is getting bored of that sewing machine sound, lack of recoil and unrealistic capacity magazines. If this sounds like you, a gas blowback rifle should be right up your street, but make sure you do plenty of research before you take the plunge!
With a GBBR, you are treated to the highest levels of realism Airsoft can offer; with realistic-looking internals, perfect 1:1 dimensions, shoulder-thumping recoil you have to work to control, realistic capacity magazines and a realistic manual of arms, operating just like the real deal.
There are various GBBR internal systems out there, the most popular of which are the WA/G&P system, the WE Open Bolt system and the Tokyo Marui ZET system, and each type takes proprietary magazines.
If you are new to GBBRs, a Golden Eagle platform can be a great first option, based on the WA system but starting at a more affordable price point than most. CYMA and Double Eagle also offer gas blowback rifles which use the Tokyo Marui ZET system, widely regarded as the best GBBR system out there currently.
Nothing beats the satisfaction of bagging a kill with a gas rifle, though it doesn't come without challenges. With a gas power source and low-cap magazines, you will have to choose your shots and when it comes time to reload, showcase your handling skills. If you're the type of player who gets a kick out of working hard like the real warriors do, you'll love a GBBR!
