New gate hpa pistol ???

[Kls77]

So the new hpa pistol is released from gate

Any opinions ? Is goona be the new wanker gun to take over the mtw ? How long before a ghillie rocks up at local field using it as a dmr

Tbh this is the first I've heard of it so I Googled it. From purely a performance angle it looks impressive. However the lack of blowback would put me off though and the 50rps is just overkill and not to mention useless in game without a hell of a lot of spare mags, even at 80 or 120 rounds each.

Lookswise imo been severly beaten with the ugly stick and looks like something a 4 year old would draw.

I can see it being popular with the speedsofters, but it wouldn't surprise me if carbine kits start to appear soon

My Dad and I put our pre orders down as soon as the first batch was released on BZ Tactical. I was already eyeing it up and following its development stages on Gates Instagram as I frequently use HPA tapped gas pistols as a backup to my MTW so the PTX seemed like a no brainer and a very good gap in the market. The rate of fire seem like it can go up to an excessive amount so I’m hoping I can switch the auto to binary in the future, however very excited for the first batch to be dispatched.

Can't wait to see Little Timmy the Rental getting hosed by this point blank, (it's on semi bro I'm just feathering the trigger).

I think it runs into the usual HPA pistol problem where you're only going to use a pistol close up anyway unless you build it out into being a bad SMG/carbine. At which point you've defeated the purpose of having a pistol.

So the advertised rate of fire just gives it a twatty reputation in advance for CQB use.

Fortunately at £700 its hopefully going to be prohibitively expensive. I would hope that the overlap of pie charts between "£700+ hpa set up disposable income" and "absolute cheb-end who thinks 1second burst at 50rps at point blank isn't overkill" isn't going to be that big...
