AEG and Systema don't even belong in the same sentence. For those who don't know, you need to forget everything you know about AEGs as they simply don't apply to a PTW. There is nothing common or even similar about them. Their method of loading and discharging a BB and what happens to that BB as it travels down the barrel are different from any other gun.

We all know that a Ferrari costs 10 times as much as a Honda, but how many people people will dump $100k into a Civic trying to get it to perform like a Ferrari? The answer is simple: more than you could count. The same thing happens with airsoft. Every $50, or $100 or $200 that guys dump into their guns in a vicious endless cycle is somehow palatable. Anyone who believes this is a good thing needs their head examined.

Why dump $1000 into a $500 Marui? It's absolutely ridiculous. But it gets done all the time because guys simply don't have the balls to dump $1500+ at once into 1 gun. Oh, wait, they will for an M249, so why not an M4?
