The problem is often the tinkerers that come over from the AEG side of things.
There are a lot more innovations happening in AEG's than PTW's, and I'd go as far to say the technology available for AEG's is better in some areas, but the construction is where they always fall short.
So then said tinkerer tends to try and apply these mods to a PTW which doesn't need them, or the PTW breaks and he applies a patchwork fix that would be fine on an AEG.
Then he sells it, and you get this mangled patchwork gun that "works fine"
Anyone can work on an AEG, but it takes an intelligent person to understand the little tweaks and mods to make them a little bit better.
But working on a PTW requires knowledge of precision work. The basic functioning principles are the same, but the tolerances are closer, the parts are different, and it's generally just much less forgiving if you overlook tiny mistakes.
Like, if you're building a hand wagon to haul trash around at your cabin, you'll get anyone that took a highschool welding course to slap it together.
If you're building a pipeline to move millions of gallons of oil to another country, you're going to want someone that knows what the hell they're doing.
