PTW type upgrade Version 2

Haven't seen anyone post on here yet but found this at Redwolf and thought it was pretty interesting.

Ver.2 mechbox shell = breakage, I don't care how nice the internals are.

Is PTW worth the price on the field?

Shell is looks similar but I'm not sure if it would break the same in that area. Is the only reason breakage occures on V2 mechboxes, is the inherant weakness of the design.

Note the extra beefy walls of this near gearbox, which is designed to withstand high powered springs for mind-blowing power levels unseen in traditional Marui-type guns.
You see, the underside is filled in, not hollow like standard V2s (where the tappet would normally ride).

I really like the design of this mechbox, unfortunately it'll end up costing upwards of $600 to buy one.

Is different, beefier like they say, and who knows, could be a different material. It's pretty obvious they are aware of the V2 problem, not likely they'd ignore it while making everything else better. V2 mechboxes almost always break on the right side shell (ever notice how the left side of the cylinder head is always tighter in the mechbox than the right?). First (and only one) I've seen break on both sides was when my stock MP5 shell broke. And look at where the screws go through, they are raised to mate with the right shell, which will give a lot more strength to the right shell, since the left will suffer as much abuse as the right.

There was a post about this a short while ago. Systema stated that its design revolution for the v2 will be back compatable with all TM based v2 guns. It looks like an interesting mechbox, minus the fact Im gona have to make sure I dont accidentally static shock the circuits when Im working on it, so Im gona have to ground myself or something.

Anyways, exploded V3 for no reason at all!

Jugglez has reinforced V3 mechboxes if you want one.

Hmmm....I see. Looks like I might be going JG S-System with SystemA drop in for a CQB gun (just converted my current PTW to an SPR) instead of a second PTW.

Damn, I placed a bet with a few people that you'd take this thread and post about how much more awesome buying a Systema PTW is compared to purchasing this to add into their current gun. Damn, you post about PTW when it's not warranted, yet when it's possible to slide it in, you don't!!!!!!

Lol, kidding.
