MAGAZINE

It's easy to buy more mags from GelTactical, but it's good to know that the Lightning Blaster is compatible with WELL type magazines.

Gearbox

The gearbox is made of plastic, but is high quality.

It is a V2 style gearbox. The motor is held in place by the handle grip.

The gears are a hybrid of metal and plastic. The motor pinion gear and the bevel gear are metal. These are the gears that most commonly strip when made from plastic, so it's good that they are metal. The rest of the gears and piston rack are plastic.

Motor

The motor is held in place by the grip, and the grip is screwed into the gearbox, like common airsoft V2 style gearboxes. The bottom of the grip has a quick release for quick, tool less access to the motor. The motor can be removed and replaced without the need for tools.
