I think this is really cool, and probably the first really new and different TM model to come out in a long time (new mechbox with 3RB, metal receiver + one piece barrel, new mag design that fires out all its BBs [at long last], and it's actually a new gun, not just a variant or rehash of an old one).
Clearly TM is feeling the heat from the competition, now, and had to up their game to keep up.
The battery size seems like a non-issue. Sure, Large packs hold up better, especially in upgraded guns, but the way some people are going on about it you'd think everyone's running a LSW.
Hopefully the technology works well, and we can look forward to a new generation of metal MP5s with proper S/3/F trigger groups. Maybe an M16A4 for the the USMC fans.
