Blitzz; To me a basic armalite isn't worth 3000$. Ugly trades, no working dust cover or bolt panel and pricey magazines.

For me it's about a fair balance between the looks, the performance and the quality. PTW is all about performance at a ridiculous price.

My SCAR is worth less than a PTW. It probably performs less than a PTW and it's probably less reliable than a PTW but it looks much better. Fair balance.

I wouldn't buy at 500 000$ Ferrari even if it's supposedly one of the best car performance-wise simply because we have crappy roads and it doesn't look so nice to me. I would much prefer a 50 000$ 2004 BMW M3 since it performs well but less than a Ferrari but it looks so much fucking nicer. Fair balance right here.

To me a PTW is just an armalite, same as the Classic Army ones except it costs 3000$, it's more reliable and it performs better. Its major flaw is that it looks just like a normal, banal armalite; bleah. I'm not gonna pay 3000$ for an armalite.

The day they make a PTW Masada or G36 or AK or SCAR or an EBR or even a Robarm XCR or an HK 416 then I will see if I buy one..

I was thinking that you were against them on the field. :confused:

Sure you have to love armalite. They are $2000 / $2450 with ThePirate.
Dont forget that it is an infinite upgradable platform for external parts. You can put a SIR, a VLTOR CASV etc.... Yes i do love armalite ;)

I love Scars too, after all, they are well dress M4! :D
Hope you post more pics to see this baby from different angle.

Kev, you're right I completely forgot about it. I'm gonna go take some right now :P

Blitzz; I don't mind people having them but I wouldn't buy one.

Thats what he say's! I'm going to his place tom with my PTW, lets see if he does what everyone does and sell his stuff to buy a PTW :p Then again... you need to play to enjoy a PTW :p :p :p

Cassius February 2nd, 2008 18:01

Andres, the one with the serial was taken just for you :D

LOL I heard that shout. Nice job on my pic :p

Andres February 2nd, 2008 18:59

If you can take a higher res picture, I would be happy to Photoshop the whole gun.

Cassius February 2nd, 2008 20:16

Why don't you do it on yours...oh wait...nvm :D

you could buy a real steel hk416 upper and put it on the ptw :P (if you have a small fortune sitting around)

Cassius February 2nd, 2008 23:17

lol of course and that would make a 416. I could just draw the trades on the lower receiver as well. Hell, I would spend 3000$ on a ptw, 400$ on an upper and 600$ on a handguard.

I prefer 1200$ for a VFC HK416, thank you :p

kmsakura February 3rd, 2008 01:24

hahaha true enough, and i was thinking more along the lines of 2000 for a real h&k upper :P (though i think they recalled them so there not available to civis anymore) so with a battery and three mags it would be 4000 dollars. and thats if you could find the 416 upper, would be nice though
