Anyone got their hands on the new PTS x Griffin AEG?

[A1F4B]

Whatever pal, I'm trying to keep the peace, whereas you seem keen to cause a drama where it's not needed.

No problem though, I'll sit back & eat my popcorn, give me a shout if anybody miss-genders you etc.?

'I'm trying to keep the peace'

*Actively tries to rile you up a the end of the same paragraph* 

What a fucking genius 

If it was bait it couldn't be that shit. You replied in 6 minutes 

Have a nibble sunshine

'you're really excited' to see another post similar to mine. Ever so sorry you couldn't just scroll past without saying something 

Get over yourself , my first comment was aimed at the fact that yet another manufacturer lazily pushing out yet another m4 & telling us it's "new", my post had feck all to do with who was posting it.

You're just too easy?, the emoji on the end (?) should signify it's just a giggle, clearly irony is wasted on you.

Ngl pal, you're a moderator on an Airsoft forum, I couldn't give less of a fuck about your wind ups.

Have fun 'moderating' your circle jerk whilst keeping people out of the hobby ?

Whatever, thread locked to stop you getting further butthurt, threads derailed beyond repair anyway & I can see it just getting nasty 

If you have such a low opinion of the forum & it's members, maybe you need to consider if its the right place for you ?.

Hey Guys, 

Thought I'd share, I received an angry pm from the op, which I responded to, explaining how things generally are here & why the thread rapidly went downhill, & that thread derailment, while common here, usually has a better outcome.

As you can see, his response was measured, rational, & apologetic, & he ended it with "he'll keep his head down".

Thing is, as a forum, I've never met a better bunch of more helpful guys, yes we never miss an opportunity to wind up or mickey take, but it's always with the best intentions. 

His response to ribbing was a knee jerk reaction, something we've all been guilty of at some time, but no one should feel they can't participate here, so let's move on ?

So anybody actually had hands on with the aforementioned aeg ?

 

[Jez_Armstrong]

He should be glad he got away lightly and i didn't see this thread...

If you want the licenced bits then you have to pay the piper. Does it make it a better AEG? Obviously not. 

I won't stand for any of this *checks notes* ..actually having an understanding of how this business work and operates.

There's zero chance that at £489.99 the PTS AEG is substantially better than say a £319.99 Novritsch SSR4 MK2. Is PTS's "magic faery dust" genuinely worth £170?

I'd rather buy a £180 DE M900 and spend £80 on replacing it's weaker parts.

My thoughts too. I get the PTS AEG has that licensing premium and it has a high-torque motor but I don't see the benefit over a DE M904/M906 series AEG with a couple of upgrades at its price.

There's no mention of a tight-bore barrel either so I assume the PTS AEG doesn't have one.

Is PTS the actual OEM of this, or is it just another mid range M4 in a frock with designer labels?

 

[TheFull9]

Far as I know PTS don't own any factory space. The original Masadas were Ares, probably the PDRs, possibly even the original FPGs though that one's chinese whispers. Various AEGs and GBBRs by KWA over the year, other AEGs by CYMA more recently.. list goes on. No idea about the various plastic accessories or handguards etc etc, they might be from entirely nameless factories that airsofters have never heard of.

Most brand names we see down the end of the road at the actual retailers do this to at least some extent, if not entirely in some cases.

Yes

Was hoping we might see an IWI Arad replica or something like a Krytac Rec-10. Something to scratch that M4 itch with a suitable snowflake touch.
