As great as this M4 maybe the factor that will decide if I buy or not buy will come down to the design of the CO2 magazine. As I understand now the CO2 cartridge will vent its gas if you eject the mag once it is initially inserted. Therefore this will mean that you cannot do a tactical reload.
Is a tactical reload important? Well think of it this way ... imagine that you are about to rush an enemy position after being in a previous firefight. You'll probably want to lock & load a fresh mag so that you know you are topped up on ammo before beginning your next move.
I am sure that using a HPA tank is a good option but I enjoy airsoft for its military realism. In my case using a tank would detract from that feel. I would also suggest that running a back mounted tank might interfere with my normal hydration bladder setup.
Once we see the final state of the finished product we can all then make our own informed decisions.
