After market metal bodies also can have fitment issues. A fully assembled metal gun stock is made by all the same manufacturer and fits together from the factory. If you take a TM M4A1, HurricanE metal body, G&P RIS unit, King Arms outer barrel, Star stock, and Guarder grip chances are somewhere in there you will need to do some tinkering to really get it solid and at that it may never be as solid as a gun with all parts from the same manufacturer.
I know 100% that I saw that BB of yours duck under a branch, rise over another, go slightly to the left to dodge a leaf, and then smack me in the goggles. Thats EXACTLY how it happened. Also I used my GBB because the battery Foxtail lent me was toast, only got about 100rnds out of it and it was 1700mAh. As for PTW MP5's at the fps' you play at it wouldn't be a problem but the higher fps cylinders can balloon and jam in the receiver or not fit back into the receiver. Apparently thats whats kept M170 cylinders from being released, not that the gears can't take it but the cylinder design can't handle a spring that powerful. Read that somewhere (might have been Arnies...) but not 100% sure since its never popped up on the PTW forums. |

No shit, is why I charge extra money to do upgrades to a gun (mechboxwise) plus installation of a metal body. Liteally takes me more screwing around to fit everything and make it work in a new metal body than it does to upgrade, check shimming, clearances, and such to a mechbox. FTK in a gun, $40 flat, FTK in a gun plus install of a metal body, $60. Headaches galore, but not near as much as installing a crappy brand of Crane stock though, that is the worst and I avoid those upgrades.
As far as my BB flights tend to go, often it's a battle between my "Zen" and Mother Nature. My "Zen" helps me with camo, often leadig to reports of guys almost stepping on me (the Force is strong in this one), to my BBs either going around obstacles, in your case, to my sniper rifle BBs deciding to fuck off to oe side or the other, heading off for beer I assume, or Mother Nature giving my flight path one that'd make anyone jealous. Nutshell, like the way multicam works, it's either a hit or miss, no pun intended. |

I broke my TM's receiver tab... Since then, I've declared that I'll never go back to plastic.

Yeah, AK's, MP5's, G36's, and a bunch of others are all perfectly fine with plastic bodies. Its pretty much just armalites and G3's that have problems with plastic bodies.

Metal bodies are better...both the feel (it's COLD not warm like plastic) and durability...but the paint on them tends to be easily scratched...
Plastic bodies are fine...never had a problem...but you never know...I'm always afraid of them breaking one day...

Metal bodies are more expensive to acquire and replace when something breaks on them. Lol

LOL.. I like hearing people argue over PTW vs AEG. Whatever happened to having skill?
And don't tell me non-PTW users don't talk smack about ptws, and brag about their performance. Despite the fact that half of 'em don't know nearly as much about their guns as they like to think. The only reason why I bring up my PTW (obviously not overzealously like Ronan ) is because it took me a fucking really long time to save for it.. and how many youngsters like me do ya know that own a PTW? NOT MANY... |

I'm not in the habit of removing my breasts before playing, but I agree they would present less of a target.
