So, you would cuss if you broke a $1200 Classic Army but would be crying for a $1500 PTW? OK, roll with that if it helps you sleep better.

You can buy CNC'd lowers and real uppers for a PTW. If you manage to break those, you would also break a real AR. There is pretty much no solution for dumb or careless.
My CA cost me 700bucks after a minor upgrade. It was my main workhorse for about 2 years and it never broke down. A huge issue with PTWs is the mags, they cost a fortune. The PTW is an amazing platform and I believe it is worth the money but the fact that you have to keep them dry kinda sucks, I would be afraid to take one out in Vancouver. Also, PTWs only come in the AR variant I cant speak for everyone but I enjoy having different weapons and I can run what I want when I feel like it.

Bringing a few guns to a game is never a bad idea, even PTWs break down. Having a back up AEG is just as important as having backup batteries. Also what happens if a buddy has an AEG breakdown? BOOM you are there to help a bro out and lend him a gun. I also like having guns around that are "beaters" just guns that work and have been abused, I wouldnt feel bad mistreating it.
