I'd personally vote for Deep Fire...I've gone through over 4xSystemA Polycarbonate pistons - but I still keep buying them as I can't get Deep Fire in Tokyo :-(.

I'm a big systema parts fan, however I have destroyed 3 red polycarb pistons. The last 2-3 teeth keep getting stripped. I am running upgraded set up, I finally picked up deepfire piston (green one with titanium coat teeth) no problems.

My 2 cents

I would stay away from the deep fire...i had one along time ago and over mayeb before 10,000 shots the piston starts to crack near the teeth near the piston area from the slamming. Always try something that is built solid together not wehre you have 2 peices that you have to put together...

plus if you have a ballbearing piston head, the teeth inner wall grind up against the ball bearings so it is difficult to install plus you will not get the full effect of the ball bearings.

Ive been using the same poly piston (CA) for over 40,000 shots and there is no damage at all on the piston teeth. It all depends on your shim job being properly aligned to the pistons teeth.

Thanks guys you've been a big help i think I'll go with the Deepfire Titanium or the Classic Army Reinforced. Seeing how CA was the overall best and the deapfire from the review and your post sounds the sturdiest (spa I'm not ignoring your post but i still and kinda byist towards the deepfire lol) I'll pick up witch ever one is in stock when i get my gun.

If you want soemthing solid just get an all aluminum piston if you want metal teeth. sure it will lower your rof for 5bb/sec but it will be solid (plus you also risk a chance of breaking internals if fps is around 400 due to the weights of the piston:P)

the big reason im a bit worried about the CA piston is because of this review i saw: Poor poor Piston!

and also read this review: still backing up deepfire's piston

I'd stick with the good old TM piston. Last's just as long an most of the "upgraded" one and even if it dies after 10k rounds a 5$ replacement is never far. Hell most of the guys would not want their old tm stock parts back after I upgraded their mechbox so I just kept them. I've been running on them for the last 3 years and I have plenty left.....

And yes we are talking of HIGH ROF ( low cap in 3 sec) CQB guns or 500 FPS semi only coutersniper rifle and just about everything in betwine

lol triv:P, we switched your deepfire out too becaure it broke, and now your CA is still kicking harD:P

Deepfire is the best out of the metal teeth, but CA is cheap if it breaks and needs to be replaced

Spa's CA36C hasn't broken YET with the full aluminum piston... Whether it will, not sure. I'd just stick with the CA polycarbonate piston.

I just put in a deepfire. I got sick of changing pistons out. My box is properly shimmed but runs 408 fps so those regular ones get ripped apart from my full auto insanity. I usually tear the end right off.
