Sweet...great idea. Consider linking in the Tech Summary thread and the "Year of the GBBR or just a stinky smell passing through" (I think that thread was about a year ago)

1) Have you brought this to a game and utilized the WE M4 AWSS? *Name the field you utilized this AWSS*
- multiple times indoors at CQB
- TTAC3
- Flag Raiders

2) How did it perform to your expectation?
- Indoors it's absolutely rock solid (note: you have to be mindful of temp changes)
- Outdoors was outstanding

3) Would you recommend a WE M4 (realism) or an AEG (practicality)?
- GBBR/AEG are equally effective...the gas rifles are just plain more fun to shoot/operate

4) Has the WE M4 AWSS failed you in the heat of battle? What did you do to rectify the problem? Did you have a backup?
- sand+BB is not good...jams are near impossible to immediately clear, you need to use a cleaning rod (suppose that's the same with my PTW and AEGs too)
- transition to secondary...or chill out and heckel the enemy

5) How do you feel overall about the WE M4 AWSS? What would you change?
- like it
- factory issued steel Part #66 with NIB rifle for reliability
- adjustable FPS ability out of the box
- mags are simple to rebuild...but their main seal is flimsy, their feed valves are (or used to be) lousy


6) Would you choose the WE M4 AWSS to be your primary again after that experience?
- absolutely...it'll be first up at the next game now that the weather is stable, AEG/PTW will stay cased
- I will always take an AEG/PTW as a backup...but then I usually take a backup primary anyways, gas rifle or not.

Additional notes:
- accuracy/flight path was good...but you really need to make sure your hopup is working right and you need to be using 0.28 or 0.30g BBs.
- rapid semi is more stable than ripping off full auto strings. FA 3-5 bursts are fine...10+ and you'll get varying performance if it's not sunny/warm/hot temps.
- there are lots of reports of clone/cheap RDS being killed by the repeated vibrations/recoil from gas rifles
