"Oilless" and "sintered" are different marketing names, but they are both made with a sintering process.
Area1000 does not make bearings. These are bushings - chalk it up to poor Japanese Engrish translations. These are bushings, despite whatever Systema calls them.

Please, PLEASE everyone who reads this take note of how Illusion responded. It was clear, concise, offered no bullshit, gave reasons and accurate descriptions.
Thank you for responding to the bushing discussion Illusion. I had actually researched it myself and was pretty sure that they weren't "bearing" bushings. I also found that oiless and sintered are the same. But I thought that maybe I could have been wrong or my knowledge inaccurate and it goes to prove that a lot of people "think" they know what they're talking about via hearsay or whatever based on some of the responses I received.
In the future I would probably order the prometheus sintered bushings simply because they're a tighter tolerance, have the oil channel deal, and they're only $5 more. But thank you for answering the question of "will they get the job done without problems?"
I also ordered the torque up gears for the exact reason of battery life. And I personally don't trust the stock TM gears on a powerful spring. I've seen them chewed up first hand. Beside personally me and most of my team don't put stock on a high ROF. Myself I feel if you can't get it done with one or two 1-second bursts you just can't get it done. :snipe: Of course that solid line of BB's would be great for bastards who don't call their shots. :duke:
I am also going to order a bearing spring guide. I want the mechbox to last longer than 10,000 shots. The silent piston head is outside the budget right now, more important things like more mags and gear are taking precedence for the next few months.
Lastly as far as those saying get the MS100 or MS110... I would have ordered an MS110 instead of the M100, however RedWolf Airsoft didn't have the MS110 in stock and I wasn't going to split the order between WGC and Redwolf just for a spring. (wgc was out of certain items and vice versa) I might get a MS110 and order the spring guide from WGC this time around.
New Questions:
Which bearing spring guide to get? Why?
More info on the operation of a silent piston head, why it's nicer for the gearbox, etc?
What exactly needs to be done to the lower receiver to fit the systema hop up unit onto the stock tm body? Not quite sure why Systema advertises it as a M4/M16 specific hop up if an M4 needs modification to fit it. Being Systema is a Japanese company, and (I may be wrong so correct me if I am) the Japanese aren't allowed to have metal bodied guns, why would they make hop up units that wouldn't fit onto TM bodies that have a relative monopoly on the airsoft market in Japan...?
