Make: WE
Model: PDW
Pros: High accuracy, decent recoil
Cons: Gums up easily in the desert (You have to clean it after every day you use it). NEEDS THE NPAS (and you need vibratite for the NPAS, otherwise it will unscrew itself after a while. Loctite WILL NOT WORK)
Magazine: Fits/feeds/functions perfectly. Consistent FPS as well (was getting +-10fps). Co2 mags SUCK, only use green gas mags
Notorious for the rear seal leaking, though. Easy fix. Small flat blade screwdriver, #2 Philips, a toothpick/Q-tip, Valve key, and sensor safe RTV. Unscrew the rear screws from the internal magazine, and carefully use the small flat blade to pull the spine off, then apply RTV to both sides of the gasket, then replace, and screw the spine on most of the way (don't torque it down, just LIGHTLY snug it down. If you need more than 2 fingers, you're using too much force). Next, unscrew the knocker valve (the valve the hammer hits), and let the RTV dry, without the knocker valve in place (ensures complete drying). Wait 24-48 hours, tighten the screws down fully, then put everything back together.
You will also want to buy a CNC steel hammer, with a better bearing. The one that is in the gun will die after a few thousand rounds (poor knurling on the bearing retainer pin)
Any recomendation for Upgrade or replacement
Polish the inner barrel (will take several hours, but totally worth it)
NPAS, CNC steel hammer (Or replace the whole trigger box internals with CNC steel parts, so you know you will never have to worry about parts breaking).
AEG barrel conversion kit (NOT MANDATORY! Stock 9" barrel gets 200' torso shots with the NPAS maxed out)
Stinger hop-up (unless you are using .30's)
Other notes:
DOES NOT LIKE MATRIX/MIDGRADE BRANDS! You will have a shotgun spread effect after 50 feet (BB's will go all over the place). Don't believe me? Alternate rounds between Matrix .30's and Bioval .30's. Trajectory will be like this: ---/---\ (---'s being Bioval, /&\ being Matrix).
I would suggest getting the 416, though, and upgrading the hell out of that. Should allow you to increase your range, and will allow you to use it as a sniper rifle, should you decide to (otherwise, tune FPS for field limits, and have fun!).
Don't bother calling "Surrender" on me, unless you are A) Right by me or B) Shooting 450+ with .20's. I WILL shoot you if I see you, otherwise. I am stubborn, and don't like to surrender. Consider yourself warned.
