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

[A1F4B]

Looks like a promising new collaboration and the video seems to show the AEG off well.

 

Anyone managed to get their hands on one and test out the gearbox etc?

 

Would love some feedback on it before I look to buy one!

 

Thanks!

Aren't you switching to HPA? ?

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.

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

This topic has got me really excited, it's been days since anybody bought out another AR derivative aeg, I was getting withdrawal symptoms ?

[AK47frizzle]

That's a lot of money for... a plain looking m4 AEG

I've been thinking about it, but I'm also keeping my options open with AEGs. Bit weird to go through my post history just to make a pointless comment like this ngl ?

It was only a couple of weeks ago and obviously stuck in his mind. It's not that deep.

Yay, another M4.

The action of seeing a post then going onto someone's profile just to make a snarky comment is weird in itself no? No idea why people are encouraging this sort of behaviour towards someone new to the forum in the first place. Just makes it seem like a shit place to ask questions for someone new to the hobby lmao

Nothing sensitive about it pal. Asked a simple question looking for feedback on an AEG and buddy over her decided to try and be a smart arse.

 

Thankfully a couple of normal people actually gave me some pretty good advice, whereas you're taking time out of your day to call people you don't know sensitive on an internet forum. Odd one you are.

Mate, take a chill pill, you made a statement that another member remembered & he no doubt wondered what might have changed your view,  nothing malicious in his post, maybe consider that at least members here actually take an interest in other people's thoughts & experiences. 

As for everything that's followed, you bite & people will gee you up for a response, dare I say it, maybe it's banter ?.

Your response shows you're a bit of a sensitive moderator mate, we're just having a bit of banter!

 

See how pointless of a response that would be? Literally adds nothing to the post, similar to 80% of the responses to my initial question. Not that I need to justify why it's annoying when you're just looking for feedback on a new aeg and all you get is smart arse responses, from you included with the comment about how 'you're really excited' to see another post similar to mine. Ever so sorry you couldn't just scroll past without saying something ?

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.?

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 ?

[Tackle]

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 ?.
