Agreed, if the pricetag was around $800 i would be a sh*t load less suspicious (that it even comes out, quality and quality control).

But this gun once in Canada will be in the $1000 ranges (Give or take $200).

So who will buy china clones (because that's what its going to be) for ~$1000?

Like for example... people only buy china clones since they are compatible, but here we are talking about compatible (maybe) parts that cost quite a lot. At a 100ish an electronic, $200 the cylinder and all that... well yeah... pretty ballsy to do that. But hey everyone's different and it can be good to try new things

So lets say the externals are great but the internals/electronics are 'meh'... $200-$300 for a PTW gearbox (hope it fits or stay stuck with china crap), $250 for a motor, $200 for the EL-001, $50 for the EL-002 and $200 for the EL-003... starts to be a pretty damn expensive China made PTW (while still hopping it all fits and the externals are good/great)...

Then again the CTW might be great out of the box, but what are the chances that a $500 vs $1500 gun is great out of the box? We will see but my money is on the PTW...
