You guys are all talking about which "Chevy" is the best. Go for the gusto and get a Systema PTW. I have one and there are many folks on ASC who also have them. Once you use it, you realize why it simply is in a class by itself.

PRO:

1) Split mechbox design with replaceable cylinder kit for varying FPS levels. Takes about 30 seconds to swap out cylinders.

2) Comes with Systema 6.04mm tightbore standard.

3) Comes with helical torque-up gears and metal bushings standard.

4) Uses dry contacts for ultra-high current switching.

5) Uses mag follower/switch interlock to shut the gun down when mag is empty. All but eliminates dry firing, unless you manually hold the bolt release closed.

6) It's the ONLY Armalite-variant AEG that is actually the correct dimensions and proportions. No fat grip to accomodate a motor or widened receiver to fit a Ver.II mechbox.

7) Mags are the correct dimensions and weight as well.

8) Only the best parts are used.

CONS:

1) Dry contacts may be prone to failure if abused or incorrect battery voltage used.

Other than that, I can find nothing but praise for the Systema. You can't compare it to a Marui, G&P or ICS. It's like nothing else out there and worth every penny of the $2000+ Can. price tag.
