Well, I remember last fall reading some pretty negative comments about the Real Sword guns, with people saying they'd be nothing but cheap Chinese guns about utter crap because of their low price point, and would have poor QA, garbage internals, etc.
Turns out they were quite wrong, with Real Sword producing AEGs that leave 100% of their competition so far behind they don't even appear in their rearviews. With their real steel grade externals (whether or not it's Norinco-produced externals is debatable), innovative internal design, quality parts, etc, they've produced an stock AEG that's far superior to even a highly upgraded 'brand name' gun that would cost 2-3x as much.
Now, I'm not saying that these CTWs will be that way too. If they just try to knock out cheap replicas of PTWs, they will more than likely fail. However, Chinese manufacturing is catching up. Look at the clone AEGs like JG as an example. A few years ago, they were garbage. Now though, JG have, at least in my experience, almost caught up with Tokyo Marui.
So I guess time will tell if these guns end up being worth it or not. I wouldn't touch one in the short term, but if in a few years, they prove themselves worthy, I'll say screw Systema and grab one of these.
