They may look cool on the outside, but on the inside they're just normal blowbacks.

spyders in a fancy shell, better to spend your money on a SP-8 or an a-5 if you want the mil-sim look

Also, I would advise searching for other places to buy it, if you've got your heart set on it. I've never noticed that pbdiscounters had good prices...
I mean... they advertise "(thats over 5% off!)" when they take $30 off a $600 marker... :rolleyes:

DON"T GET IT. ARIAKON, ARMOTECH, and WARSENSOR are all crap guns. They might look cool, but they suck. Trust me, I've bought one before I got a mag and they can't shoot for s**t, and the customer support sucks. If you wan't a cool looking Milsim just get a kit for a mag.

I am a scenario/woodsballer, and just a peice of advice for you. That thing may look "kool" back at the camp, but you will find that in the woods, it is too long and bulky, with a lot of extra weight that you have to carry around, and all for the sake of the "kool" look. There will come a time when you decide that efficiency and accuracy will replace the need to look "kool". You can have both with lots of other guns that aren't too big to use effectivly in the woods. Just my 2 cents worth.

"We" didnt, I did. No reason. Other than it seems that a lot of woodsballers want to go for the MilSim look. ANd there is nothing wrong with that. I have just found that if it doesnt help with the performance, comfort or add a real advantage to the marker, then it is just dead weight to carry. This is just personal opinion tho......

You bought from 1 one these companies so now both of them are crap(Warsensor and Armotech are combined)...

As I stated about, I have accually owned a Ariakon SIM-4 and I absolutely loved mine. It worked beautifully.
