OKAY, back again about systema ptw stuff.
I'm trying to make one of the long m16's with the grenade launcher. My issue is I know systema ptw guns use real steel proportions, so I'm worried if I buy an AEG style front end (not the outer barrel just the launcher and top hand guard part) just to get the grenade launcher and made by E&C see attached I'm just wondering if the fittings to get the nade launcher and hand guard/heat sheild would be out of spec to fit a real steel D-ring and front gas block
Okay so I think I made the deal of a lifetime thanks to me and the guy I got this from not having a clue what we had on our hands.
So. I just grabbed what I thought was an airsoft m16a2 with no batter and only one mag. But i wanted a metal bodied carry handle m16 thing to make a retro build. But the mags looked weird, and I had to adjust the hop with a little grub screw in the mag well.
Turns out I just bought a Systema ptw m16a2 for a steal.. Anyone know where I can get mags for it in the uk? Otherwise, I'm going to have to order them from Hong Kong and the UK retailers I looked at only have the modern style mags at £30 a pop.
Why are these system PTW things so expensive? The version I got looks to retail for $1700 American?
First session at Blackstone, impressive site, superb layout and facilities. A few stupid players though, lots of team killing (which I didnt mind as their rule is if you TK then you are dead not the person you shot, which I like). Too many HPA users for my tastes, and whilst they do chrono and tournament lock the guns, at the range of engagements being so short there were a number of nasty bleeders, including one I caught in the ear and my mate took on in the cheek despite wearing full face. HPA just retains its energy too well for such short range.
Biggest issue I had all day was some twat thinking that a 'Knife Kill' was waiting around a corner at the bottom of the spiral stairs then shoving me in the chest as I came round the corner. He did it twice, he was told in no uncertain terms there would not be a third and I reported it to the Marshall team. Got loads of kills just by keeping moving through bottlenecks and getting behind the enemy. MP9 ran brilliantly. Will deffo go back maybe on a week day when its not as busy,
Has anyone else got one of these and if so, do you have any suggestions or tips/upgrades yourve found?
Is the hop unit any good? I've heard some say that the hop arm adds a bit too much pressure on the left and makes bbs curve to the left at the tail end of their travel.
