They're good internally, but they won't rival a PTW.

My Real Sword SVD greatly outperforms PTW's in accuracy and range. I ran in one of the most gearwhored squads in Pine Plains V, with about 8 PTW's brought with us and another 6 in reserve.
No, the PTW's are really neat and all, but they break down fairly frequently, and aren't that impressive in their performance.
Basically just a bunch of small things that help make it perform realistically, but they're not really exceptional in airsoft performance. I've had the cash to buy one multiple times and I've always bought something else.

Edited:

Case in Point:
My friend's PTW snapped in half while we sitting on the bleachers.

IN FUCKING HALF.

He didn't drop it, he picked it up and the upper receiver/barrel area decide to leave one another for greener pastures.

[the_killer24]

ptws are overhyped as FUCK

tbh they're the same as normal aegs except a lot more money and proprietary parts

[Year_of_Lurking]

price=/= value
for $1200 you could do so much more

[notrabies]

The only people I know who like PTW's are milsim junkies with lots of money to burn on things like Gen 3 or above NVGs and other expensive pieces of kit.
For anybody who wants performance over impression/realism, don't buy one.
Oh and a Polar Star will beat a PTW in all aspects besides realism as well, and they cost far less.

[felix the cat]

For less than the $1200 you spend on a PTW, I could build a far better M4 from scratch.

not to mention the $40 magazines

Not that I have any room to talk about that considering WA mags are ~$50 a pop
Though they are of spectacular quality and performance

yeah but you know, GBBR mags are inherently expensive

AK-105, bakelite mags, and spring have been purchased.
SWAG.

[xXEnder007Xx]

Just ordered an AWS Raptor MOSFET for my CA SR25. Might set it for semi only and upgrade to DMR FPS limits.

[notrabies]

Cool, we can be SR-25 bros. Mine right now is the G&G so it comes semi only, but at the moment its at rifleman fps to avoid a MED. Also, I got stuck with the SPR since the suppressor variant was sold out everywhere. However, I'll probably upgrade that and the SVD at the same time with FETs and higher strength springs to make real DMR rifles.

[xXEnder007Xx]

Sweet.

I actually have 2 SR25's, if I had the money I'd buy another mosfet for the other gearbox. Set one for sub 400fps, other for 400+, then just swap lower receivers depending on the field. I'd have one DMR upper with the standard SR25 rail, barrel, suppressor, with my prometheus (I think) PSG-1 length inner barrel. Other upper receiver would have my JP Rifle Handguard with a M16 barrel of sorts, along with either the ACOG, or be fancy and use a higher power scope along with the T1 mounted at 45 degrees on the hand guard.

[notrabies]

Yeah, I might keep the SR-25 at rifleman's (sub 420fps) and just push the SVD up because I know it can handle it. I'll probably just throw in a mosfet, and work on the hopup some and it'll be done. At one point we had it wired to Deans with a huge 11.1v 4000mah lipo on there, its trigger response was insane.

I'm real cheap on multiple optics, I've only got 2 scopes and that's it. Right now its using an adjustable 3.5x-10x zoom scope, mostly for spotting people through brush.

[xXEnder007Xx]

For some reason I seem to just collect a bunch of those 3x-9x scopes through gun trades. Think I have 3 of them and I rarely use them.

im just going to give you a little hint. Dont expect that untill 2013 knowing kwa.

[CodeMonkey3]

Probably in the Summer. We're already having give aways by major players in the Airsoft community, hints from retailers and according to the most reason one they are going to be around $380.

[TheHypnotoad]

MP5 bought.

Won't get it till next week but it's been a damn long time since I've bought anything.

[jomt1234]

This isn't going to be my next purchase, but I'll buy it eventually!
http://www.evike.com/product_info.ph...ducts_id=37069
So fucking glad that I found it!

[CodeMonkey3]

If they went to the trouble of putting a charging handle on the left side they should have also added a left side fire selector switch.

I mean, the Type 89 has one you can buy and it's got more or less the same selector design.

You probably can't do that on an AK without using dumb proprietary parts like the Ares Beryl. Although ICS pulled it off on their Galil with a standard V3.

my friend got one

hasn't arrived yet though

[notrabies]

If a G36 can use a V3 with an ambi fire selector, it can be done on an AK.
From my understanding, it's not a very common feature/modification, so it probably won't be done.

[CodeMonkey3]

To buy:

* TM Springfield XD-m
* KWA Kriss
* Tan RRV and Hydration Pack

That's about it. For the IFAP patch project I need to:

* Get Envelope
* Possibly get international envelopes? I don't know if I need them yet.
* Stamps (Holyshit the cost adds up)
* Instructions on how to mail international/how to calculate postage.

[CodeMonkey3]

My Japanese vest is finally in-stock. Don't have the funds to get it currently.

It's either that vest. Or I'm going to get a FLC in JGSDF pattern to put over my Japanese flak jacket along with a hydration carrier. I figure I might as well just skip the FLC and move onto the MOLLE vest. The FLC and hydration carrier alone is $100 and the MOLLE vest is $260~ about $300 after shipping and service charges.

It's the one they guy on the right is wearing. I still have to wear it over Soft Armor but it'll probably be more breathable than the Flak Jacket and this loadout pictured below is more or less a Summer loadout.



I'll replicate this loadout for my Winter loadout:

[TehG3A3]

tomorrow i am preordering a combat macheen raider

finally

[CodeMonkey3]

I liked my Combat Machine Raider except the rail. The rail system was so ugly and the inability to easily remove it just cemented my decision to get a VFC.

[TehG3A3]

I plan on getting a new RIS and outer barrel in the future, how hard is it exactly to remove it?

Edited:

the RIS

[Dark Descent]

Just get a jg

the RIS

Near impossible without a special allan key because the screws are set at odd spots. You need the ones with ball bearings in them or whatever, something you can use at an angle rather than straight down and I ended up fucking those screws up beyond recognition on mine trying.
