As to the comparison between the CTW and the PTW, there isn't one. Having owned and fired both, the Systema completely eclipses the Celcius by a margin of 10 to 1. My CTW, (which is on the way back to the dealer for the second time in a month) felt like a pretty darned good AEG. In comparison, my PTW is a friggin' ferrari with a trigger. She is a real steel monster that coincidentally fires 6mm plastic. I own a whole lot of real steel, and I can honestly say that I will be spending a whole lot less time with my RS now. Why, you ask? Because at 25 yards (which is all that my local indoor shooting range offers), there is very little difference between shooting battery powered 6mm plasic, and 500 dollar a case 5.56mm, aside from the noise and cost. The CTW is not even close to being as accurate, reliable, and realistic as the PTW. I can shoot my PTW in my yard; hell in my bedroom! and get the same accuracy that I demand from a gun. None of my other airsoft guns give me that happiness. Don't get me wrong here; I own a couple of really nice and well tricked out AEG's. My KWA for example has a butt-load of gearbox mods and a tightbore with a trick hop up, etc... but it still feels like a toy gun. I can tell the difference with my eyes closed and 3 sheets to the wind. The Systema is just better. Much better. The CTW has an alloy outer barrel, stupid looking medium grey paint, and eats through batteries of all kinds like it was it's job. Now, I will confess that this is the first Systema that I have ever owned, and I might have just gotten lucky. If so, then fine. I'll still never buy another AEG, and my next airsoft gun will be another Systema.
