Has anybody ever used one of these before, or are these "fresh" to the market? What are your guys' thoughts on it? I am in no way interested in purchasing as I am already very well equipped, I'm just rather curious to see what the techies and vets think about it.
I didn't post the link as this isn't in the AV'ed section, so check it out for yourself.

Tried a stock version vs the tits up version while I was in HK last week, the performance is ok for the price but don't run constant auto burst on LiPO, the motor will heat up fast and rip itself apart. They also don't like underpowered LiPo so invest on a alarm, the outer is on par with CTW internals are definitely systema compatible as they are cloned from the 07/08 electronics. This was supposed to be launched two years ago but due to the massive airsoft crackdown of the A&K factory in China, this project was shelved and all mold and prototype hidden by individual contractors until all party involved was paid by the main factory. The OEM version the motor core is exposed when compared to the Systema or FCC and eventhough they are strong motors they tend to break after a while due to the core overheating and breaking apart from the inside out, this can be remedied with either the CTW, Systema or FCC motors. There is one noticeable flaw on the OEM metal body that most people will not notice until they want to put an after market rail is that their body is slightly cast a bit off to the right, its not noticeable until you want to swapped into a after market rail.
For the price that these were selling in HK it's a good entry gun to the PTW world much like the CTW the performance is good but for the price it's expected that it will fail because these were actual clones and no R&D were put into it unlike the current CTW and FCC but these were not as bad as the G&D or the RAVEN (FCC Clone from the Phillipines) Yes you read that right a clone of FCC. They are much like when CTW first came out, they have issues and hopefully they can get better
