Good looking Rattler builds, I'd been looking at picking up a short SMG for indoor games early next year and hadn't realised anyone made an AEG version of the Rattler. How difficult was it to remove the gas block? I don't mind battery boxes but the wires snaking out just looks like a snag hazard waiting to happen resulting in breaking out the soldering iron. Guessing the 11.1 you are running yours on is a stick type battery you would see used with models like the G&G ARP series? Being on the cheaper end of the spectrum I know things like working bolt catches aren't the norm (Specna still don't seem to do that and their more expensive models are in the mid tier cost bracket) but do parts like the QD points work as you would expect?

I have always wondered about doing that myself - how well does it work in less than optimum weather conditions seeming it can be pretty chilly in the UK on even the nicer of days.

I used to own a TM P226 and a WE P228. The TM was and is still one of my favourite pistols I have owned but i do agree with the thoughts that by the time I sold it (a little over 10 years ago) it was feeling a little dated. It shot really well and was accurate though, I just wanted a change and it took a couple of misteps before settling on a TM M&P. At one point I did miss the P226 and being a fan of NCIS I picked up a WE P228 for something similar but different. Really nice weight and feel to it and I liked how it felt more realistic being metal - the issue I ran into though was anytime I de-cocked the hammer it would fire! I may have just had a lemon but I sold it and it actually left me with a (with only one sample unfair tbh) impression of WE.
