Still running the same old ak for the last 10 years. I can count the number of times it faild me on the fingers of 1 hand. 2 dead gearbox shell, 1 stripped piston and 1 worn out systema m120.... Not bat for a gun that has seen over 20 cases of excel bbs.... The total cost of the gun/upgrade parts and repaurs are still well under the price of a PTW. Unless you factor in the rpk conversion kit. And as far as performance you can ask any player of the pqac that face it just how efficient the damn thing is. To me a ptw is the easy/lasy way out of getting performance. But hey I enjoy taking other peoples parts and crap and making monsters out of them.

Yes the ptw is a well built gun that delivers but for me i dont see the point. Lately i bought/built 4 full metal fully upgraded m4 from spare parts fir under 600$ 1 dmr, 2 m4 and one cqbr so whats the point of paying 1500 for 1 gun. Will they perform on par with a ptw, of course not but to quote a good friend of mine after seeing his 4 year old virgin tm m4 clock in at 220 fps and offeriemg to upgrade and tune his gun he sais that there is no need to upgrade the gun just to upgrade the player... And anyone that remembers Spleen can attest to his level of play And if I realy need the as close as possiblr to the real thing then I'll open the vault and grab one of my 6 ar-15 that I've also built from spare parts atthe fraction of the cost of buying iff the shelf.

So for me a ptw while a nice aeg is not a viable option. But in all honesty will I eventualy buy one yeah probably but that's the gun whore in me speaking and not the airsoft player
