Besta Airsoft compares two of the most expensive M4 AEGs in the market. Both the GBLS DAS GDR-15 and the Systema M4 PTWs are primarily being marketed as training weapons for both LEOs and Military organisations and for airsoft players with deep pockets. Which would pick if you have the moolah to buy one of these?
"In this video we will try to help those who are undecided between these two great platforms. One gives you the ultimate realism on an AEG the other an outstading performance."
This is a follow up on the Systema Type 89 by Hyperdouraku after the first reveal by Systema Engineering this year and this is a review on the actual commercial package since it was released in July 2019. This is the third gun design from the Systema after the AR and MP5 platforms as the company attempts to stay relevant as more competitors in the training weapon area are coming. As always, this is a premium-priced AEG and will probably have customers mainly from Japan.
It has been ages since Systema Engineering added another PTW in its product line up. Put on display at the Training Weapon Festival that took place last weekend was the prototyoe of the PTW89, which obviously, is based on the JSDF Type 89 Rifle and this one comes with the M-Lok system. This follows the AR and MP5 PTWs from the Japanese company which are designs made available over a decade ago.
WGC Shop got in stock a URGI-style railed handguard in stock. C&C Tac MK16 M-Lok 13.5 Rail is made for the Systema PTW and is of CNC machined aluminum construction with the M-LOK modular interface.
A nice list of goodies that you might want for Christmas can be found at eHobby Asia. Check out the Umarex G28 GBB in RAL8000 or the Legends MP40 GBB for your next primary GBB.

An update from Kumi Systema Engineering on the release of the Systema PTW Recoil Model. They will be releasing three versions: Training Weapon M4-A1-MAX2 Recoil Model, Professional Challenge Kit M4-A1-MAX2 Recoil Model, and the Ultimate Challenge Kit CQBR-MAX2 Recoil Model. Whilst the full release will be delayed, they will be doing a limited release of 100 sets as based on her email:
Systema Engineering have finally joined other airsoft manufacturers in providing a simulated recoil in their PTWs and we get a first look of the PTW Recoil Shock in this RedWolf Airsoft TV episode... "The first review of 2017 Marck looks at the latest from Systema, their Recoil Model!"
Tokyo Move Research & Development, a Japanese company that does airsoft custom jobs, especially Systema PTWs has a short video of the Systema PTW Recoil Model online. This shows the recoil action of the model for interested users to evaluate. This is powered by a battery in the magazine.
For those who are wishing for a Systema PTW with a recoil feature, the wait is almost over. Systema Engineering will be taking pre-orders from resellers starting tomorrow, the 8th of August 2016. With patent already applied for this feature, initial orders will be on a limited basis, since they are looking into a backlog of orders and thus, orders will be fulfilled on a "first come, first serve" basis.
Systema PTW owners now have a reason to make new magazine purchases with the announcement of the Hexmag Systema PTW version. Hexmag Airsoft claims that it allows optimal feed to PTWs and its spring loading system also acts as a shock absorber when it is dropped to the ground. Learn more about it in their press release:
