With the WE, when the mag is in the gun, the mag to chamber to barrel is pretty much a sealed unit even when the bolt is back so dirt & debri can't get in there. I think in time the WE system will prove to be the most reliable & durable.
All true points, but the moving nozzle to mag seal is used on all the GBB pistols, so clearly there are some engineering hurdle that needs to be fixed, but no reason why it can't work in this instance....lots of people(including me) like GBB(Rifle or pistol) because not only they are tactilely satisfying because of the blowback, and also because most of them the OEs went the distance of engineering them to be similar to their RS counterpart......IMO someone bound to get it right at some point...be it as continual development on WA or the new VFC or godforbid a TM GBBR....
