Lol maybe yours Morb, I 've played in torrential rain in mine no issues on the PTW except those damn 1st and 2nd gen piece of shit

[theshaneler]

ya, the new electronics don't have issues with the rain

[Warlock]

What is the difference with the new hop-up ?

Do we still have to remove the mag like the old one ?

Like anything electronic it should dried out after use in the rain. But I can attest that they stand up just fine in most weather conditions. Some of the after market optics come pre-sealed. "available from doubletaptactical". I'm assuming this will be an added feature. The Gen3/2008 versions stood up very well as it were. Systema also mentioned that they dropped there motor manufacturer awhile back. The problem being the manufacturing, not the design. So hopefully that's been dealt with. But if Tack says they are still hit or miss, then I guess that's that. I'm curious to see the new price, I wouldn't mind getting another M16.

Who knows what the next gun they release will be. It seems the American Military is sticking with the M4/M16 series, after much debate. A few years back Systema announced R&D going into making the Scar. However that project was dropped after the announcement of the ACR Masada. I assumed all the trouble the ACR has been having would halt Systema from making a training weapon version. It would seem that the Masada is still being worked on though. And if Systema is releasing their new PTW with Magpul pieces then the Masada may still be their next logical step. Unfortunately anytime they announce a new gun it takes them four plus years to get it out on the market.

Same here. I've run mine wetter than any AEG I've owned and it's been fine. Stock too. No aftermarket nail polish

i hope parts are interchangeable ! would like a little stronger hop up to use with heavier weight BB's.

if you get your PTW from double tap the hop up mod is already done, I started to use .45 on my M16A3 with the red cylinder just for shits and giggles and it have no issues, straight and far. My M4 also with the tackleberry mod also have no issues using heavier grade bbs

The hop-up mod is phenomenal. As well the motor mod. I had Tackleberry do my '07, and it went for four years. Actually it died when I smashed my lower receiver and grip at Cold Front II. Either way, well worth it.

Mine's a gen 3 I believe, and (at best) you lose semi auto when it's wet.
