On my MTW I just use the standard airline with a ninja 68ci 4500 tank.
I bought the package deal from highpressure with the Balystik reg and 48ci, at some point I may get a redline reg but I've been happy with the balystik so far.
I had a frankenm4 dmr built from bits that used to have a mancraft pdik in it.
I decided to buy the new aeg 33g co2 stock that wolverine have released. The idea being that I could make it work with the pdik to give me a no line dmr for milsims.
I don't think the pdik is compatible with the co2 stock due to way the it takes up the entire upper part of the gearbox shell, so I ended up buying an inferno gen 2 and dual air kit.
I've not had chance to skirmish this yet but it appears to be working well.
For normal skirmish days I switch between the srs and mtw depending on my mood/game mode.
I find defend games are better for sniping from the back whilst the full auto helps with attacking. Sometimes I'll take both if I know it's a short game or I'm in a static position.
My local site has increased dmr levels from 400 to 450 in recent months, so the dmr may get more use in the future.
The 33g co2 cartridges are quite expensive so I'll only ever use those at milsims.
I prefer a dmr over the srs for milsims as I find people are less likely to call a single hit (multicam is especially bullet proof) and you typically come up against several people in groups.
The pdik has ended up in an mp5sd which should be interesting as a silent dmr, but may get moved on along with some of my aegs.
In my experience and months of reading the FB groups
- Don't buy a reaper unless it's going into an MTW, very picky on alignment and lots of people seem to have issues with it
- Don't buy a co2 stock if you are using full auto as you'll get the usual co2 cool down issues, leaks, large fps fluctuations etc.
- Co2 33g cartridges are expensive @£4.40 each from highpressure, whilst testing and installing I used over £40 worth
- Co2 stocks won't be as consistent as your air line, think 5-10 fps variance.
- 33g Co2 cartridge change is quick and easy, I imagine changing a bottle on the wraith aero would be a pita in game
- People with 12g Co2 stocks can have issues with setting puncture depth and leaks, you don't have this issue with the 33g as they screw into the regulator
- If you're running around firing lots of full auto, just stick with the airline
- Co2 stocks are going to have more maintenance due to the seals
In hindsight, if I had known that I'd need another hpa engine I might have considered a reaper m mtw with a wraith aero stock.
33g co2 stock is a good choice for a non mtw dmr, especially with the dual air kit but for normal skirmishes I would just run the airline.
