Good job

This isn't a "How to fix my PTW" thread.
It needs to be said however, that nearly all PTW failures you hear about are with the kits. Factory QC'd and assembled guns would display these problems upon testing and set-up, and would be corrected at the factory. I have gotten hundreds of PMs about broken PTWs, and all but 1 was a kit, and this is from dozens of users. This is why I included a small kit vs. factory assembled bit in the FAQ.
Assembled properly and working properly, the PTW outperforms any other out-of-box AEG there is, and can withstand an M150 for, in some cases, hundreds of thousands of rounds with minimal maintainance. That's the design, but in practice, all mechanical things will fail, that's a given.
You know Jay in Calgary, there's maybe 1 or 2 factory assembled PTW and about 15-20 kits. Guess whose break down?

You can play in the rain. I have. I just would avoid torrential downpour and taking the gun swimming. Wet grass is fine. You would need to get alot of water on/in the gun before it will make it's way to the electronics. There are things you can do to help seal the gun, like install a thin skin of silicone on the receiver joints.
