But yes I agree, VFC over all of those.

Because PTW cylinder > ICS split gearbox.

I have a buddy that is an early adopter of the Katana, Out every weekend playing and plinking. Probably 3x 1kg bags of BBs a week he goes through including shooting and playing in winters out in Edmonton. Not one stripped piston, never replaced single part going on year three.

Not any cylinder components have been replaced, gear train is still stock, 11.1 lipo with lonex titan A1. His backup gun is a spring bolt gun, never seen it used since he bought it.

In my opinion quick spring change / cylinder isn't for velocity changes, it's for making maintenance and cleaning easier.

Can't say that with any of the other guns listed in my experience.
