Another thing that was encountered yesterday with the PTW, was the reset switch( bolt release latch) had reset itself even with bbs in the mag. This had prevent the gun from firing at the worse possible moment, causing me to do a mag change only to see that there was still bbs in the mag. This is a minor thing that can be easily fixed by shimming the spring on the latch from what I've read.

It's a fine balance between the strength of the bolt release spring vs. the mag follower spring. Some guys have gone and stretched or replaced the bolt release spring , but then ran into problems where the mag follower was not strong enough to open up the bolt release. You can usually see when the bolt release is open, but as a precaution I always tap it once before firing if the gun has been slung or unfired for awhile.
It adds a new element to the game when your mag is either empty or the bolt release has opened duruing a firefight. Both have happened to me and the initial reaction is panic, but you learn quickly to calm yourself and get down to business.
