I'm not saying it wont have blowback and it might shake in your hands a little like the Umarex/TM lines of "recoil shock" EBBs.
No possible way it will match a GBBR in terms of snappy blowback action. the mechanisms of the bolt in RS and GBBRs function in the same way. Either action is propelled by gas. Difference is the huge force and heat in RS.
This EBB, magnetic or not, will not come anywhere near that kind of feeling. Although the trade off will come in having the reliability of an electric system, the volume of rounds it can put downrange compared to a gas magazine, and the fact that you wont constantly have to tinker with it like a GBBR.
But no way it replaces a gas blowback rifle.
