Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Help Buying M4A1

Well I appreciate all your feedback and will be looking to pick up a PTW.

All your suggestions have really helped out, and gave me a better understanding of what to look for, buy and not buy. Here is what I am gathering up and tell me if it sounds about right.

- Systema PTW MAX M4A1
- PTW or Saber Mags (pushing towards the Saber mags for the cost and ABS plastic)
- a few springs for the following FPS requirements: 350, 400, and 450.
- nonconductive sealant for electronic systems "spray electrical tape"

I do have a few more follow up questions to help me get started with one.

Hop Up mod
- Double Tap is providing a hop up mod and was curous if this is the tackleberry mod or similar (email has been sent to them about this also)?

Springs Inside the Cylinder
- I heard from someone that the PTW doesn't use standard AEG springs. What kind of springs am I looking for? (a link would help out lots too... and suggestions for 350, 400, and 450 FPS)

Waterproof circut board/electronic systems
- What areas require waterproofing for hmmm raining days... or worst case scenario if I fall in a small river or ditch?

Tackleberry mod
- Now I've searched a whole lot, but have heard that he does two major things with the gun. One being the hop up adjustment (which I assume is what Double Tap is providing) and the second is something to do with the motor. For the motor mod I am pretty unfamiliar with and have no clue what is initially wrong with the motor out of the box, but can someone fill me in on this?
-What exactly do you have to do for this mod?

Batteries... LiPo vs NiCd
- I've heard of users using LiPo batteries in the PTW. Specifially the Firefox 11.1v LiPo (with a m150 or higher cylinder). How many of you would advise against going something like this?
- Winter games I would play would probably be around -5c so what would you recommend? NiCd or LiPo?
