Good rebuttal, and fair. I guess what awakens the "
listen you guys, pick up a god damned screw driver once in a while!" in me the most is the you-can't-kill-an-idea mythic proportion of the PTW and PTW-like ideas on this forum. My sense is that we're not as empirically-driven as other airsoft communities, more insular, exposed to far smaller amounts of hardware, and therefore susceptible to slightly oddball biases and quirky misconceptions. And I think one of those misconceptions is that there's something beyond reach when it comes to high performance durable AEGs on a budget, and that the more to it part is more a product of talent/finesse/branding/foreignness rather than simple determined investment of time along with sharing data.
I'll concede that it's probably not as
dead simple as I make it out to be, but I will counter argue that there are probably tons of people here who could do pretty well.
