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...
Despite all the ragging I do on this fellow, I agree with most of what he says....

Systema did all the R/D... all the footwork was theirs. Celcius will inevitably fail.
