You would feel a little "recoil" on the A&K their metal body is constructed with a lighter cast metal than others it's almost as if you are holding a regular plastic AEG, when I fired teh A&K in HK there is a bit of "recoil" a bit more torque energy transfer than a regular Systema, CTW or FCC.

*** Also one of the things I noticed when I fired the A&K was that the lower, upper and buffer tube cap is quite sharp and rough on the edges you might want to sand it a bit as it might cut your control cable or yourself by accident

Who in Toronto has springs to bring down fps on the A&K PTW ? It shoots too hot out of the box with the stock cylinder spring.

I have just purchased a A&K M4A1 PTW AEG, and am quite new to the air-soft world.Could someone please help me with a link to a mid-range costing m130 cylinder for this model that would be acceptable to play matches with?Fps somewhere between but not exceeding 420 fps? It would be very much appreciated.

Contact Airsoftdepot, they will have lower powered cylinders coming for the A&K PTW coming soon.

Easier to just replace the spring with a lower powered spring versus buying a new cylinder. Pm'ed

SuperHog · September 17th, 2013, 15:13

The cylinder that comes with the A&K PTW is the high power red unported cylinder.

The lower power cylinders are all ported.

Since it makes more sense to necro this thread than it does to create a completely new one on the subject, I'm curious, since everyone has had more time to use their A&K PTW's, does anyone have any new opinions regarding them? Are they worth getting or if you were in the same position would you just save up and purchase another platform?

SuperHog · February 26th, 2014, 17:31

I run mine on 11.1V. Works great and flawless. Had it when they were first available.

My friend went with a G&D. He is now selling it to go the the A&K which has much better exterior and interior.

To my surprise, the outer barrel is "steel" and not aluminum. Confirmed it with a magnet.

Very nice, did you have to replace the circuit boards like some people or did you not have any issue with it overheating?

Still all original. The blown boards are probably from the first batches. If you get one now, it is probably all newer boards.

No overheating (knock on wood) I only use semi. I have over 50 magazines through it by now.

I wonder if Depot will be back in stock with them?

Logandyck · September 1st, 2015, 21:55

I just bought this A&K PTW it arrived today, and I'm kind of spooked about putting my 11.1V 1000mah LiPo in it after reading this. I got mine from Airsoft Depot it came with a gold cylidner 450fps.

Can anyone reccomend a good safe battery to use? Someone earlier said the SYSTEMA 12V 1300MAH NI-CD BATTERY was safer?:banghead:

Both Systema 12V or 11.1V Lipo can pull that 450fps spring in that gold cylinder.

If you are planning to game it, you may need to change the cylinder that can meet your field limits. Get the KA cylinder, (Gold, M110) http://airsoftdepot.ca/catalog/produ...oducts_id=2460 for outdoor, and the (black,M90) http://airsoftdepot.ca/catalog/produ...oducts_id=2460 for indoors.

Got mine today. Have to wire it to deans before I can do any shooting. I am wondering about the best battery to use to along with what bb's people have had good experiences with.

Parker I have bastard .28's and mine loved them. Also I ran an 11.1 lipo.
