Just a little update so far I have shot an equivalent of:
47.75 x bags of BB bastard .25 (Now I'm completely cleaned out of my excess grenade ammo)
2 x bags of .20 BBB
2 x bags of .28 BBB
.30 x bags of Madbull .25 in the last 4 months
Final run down : PROS
- zero issues of reliability, work great under hot, cold and wet conditions (light rain, no submersion in water)
- Motor was warm at first but not as warm as Systema
- Accuracy improved as the hop up gets worked in
- No blemish or other noticeable worn parts after excess of 100,000 shots, internals is like the first day I open it
- Mysterious Grease that they use is like pure Teflon, no brown stuff that Systema use
- No failure on any electronic parts even after extreme usage and low voltage battery (7.4V LiPo)
- No Jams or misfeed from mags
- Amazing Customer support and service from both the manufacturer and dealer
- New exciting model project in 2013 such as a SCAR, AK and HK417 platform
CONS :
- Price
- Limited quantity and selection on models (XM177, M4, M4 NST, HK416D, M4DD, M4 Troy, M4 VLTOR)
- No other platform available yet but in near future (2013-14)
Final comments: definitely worth getting another (I already ordered the HK 416D), very reliable PTW, this kind of performance is what a PTW should be out of the box from Systema. Price may be a sticker shock to some but you don't have to go my route and got the bells and whistle, a basic set up should not set you back more than a new PTW from Systema with all the upgrades. With the emergence of PTW clones and compared to the FCC from what I saw out of the DTW the FCC will definitely beat it hands down, the only thing that can probably compete or even excel the FCC in some area would be a fully modified rifle by the master Tac himself
