        2006.11.29 : ZSHOT.com Confirms PTW Magazine Issue
In our continued pursuit for perfection, SYSTEMA is constantly improving our products through in-house research as well as listening to our users.  We are glad that many of our users are supporting us and speaking to us.  As a result, we have discovered and confirmed a minor design defect in one of the new components used for the PTW magazines.  The issue is related to the new roll-pins failing to secure the internals of the magazine.  Under certain conditions, if a PTW magazine is dropped on solid surface (such as concrete floor) from more then a few feet (1+ meter) high, the rounded heads of the roll pin will expand the magazine side-wall while pushing itself towards the center of the magazine.  As a result, the internal components of the magazine will be dislodged from its original position, and the roll-pin will also wedge itself against the magazine side-wall.  Once the components are misaligned, the magazine will fail to feed bullets properly into the chamber.

SYSTEMA and ZSHOT.com are currently working together to arrive at a permanent solution.  All U.S. dealers will be eligible to request retrofit components to address this issue (once the solution is finalized) free of charge.  On the mean time, users are encouraged to perform this modification which will also permanently address the issue without the need to wait for the retrofit kits.  We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our users, and we appreciate your support while we continue to bring you better products.
 
      
        2006.10.12 : NEW RELEASE! SYSTEMA Complete Mecha Box and Motor Set
Due to overwhelming support and user requests, and in conjunction with our new and exciting motors, SYSTEMA is pleased to announce the expansion of the Complete Mecha Box series with two new classes.  These new Mecha Boxes pack more punch, more speed, and more performance then you can imagine!  They even come complete with matching motors so that their true potential can be realized right out of the box.

The first addition of the Complete Mecha Box Series consists of the High Power models, packed with M170 springs, bore up cylinder kits, and matching gear sets providing you with over 550 FPS of pure power.  All High Power Complete Mecha Box comes with our new Magnum Motor included in the box, giving you realistic rate of fire that was previously impossible in such a high velocity setup.  Say goodbye to trigger lags in electric sniper rifles!

The second addition consists of the High Speed models with individually tuned components all designed for the ultimate high rate of fire.  This setup is capable of achieving consistent and reliable 30 rounds per second high-speed firing*!  To put things into perspective, 30 rounds per second equals 1,800 rounds per minute, or roughly TWICE as fast as a typical stock AEG!  This is only possible thanks to our new Turbo motor as well as carefully selected internal components for ultra smooth operation.  Never miss your target again because of that big gap in between BBs!!

        2005.07.07 : SYSTEMA PTWS Upgrade Cylinder Units
SYSTEMA is proud to introduce our full-line of drop-in cylinder units for the Professional Training Weapon System!

After extended testing and selected user-group evaluations, SYSTEMA is now releasing three different drop-in cylinder units for our PTWS product line.  They includes the M90 cylinder unit ("stock" cylinder shipped with your PTWS), M110 cylinder unit (moderate upgrade for all-around performance), and M130 cylinder unit (high velocity upgrade when maximum engagement range is needed).  These cylinder units were developed closely and in conjunction with our Generation-3 PTWS, ensuring direct, drop-in replacement where no other internal modification is required.

Note:  Please be aware that while the M90 and M110 units are compatible across all generation PTWS, SYSTEMA only recommend the use of M130 cylinder units in Gen-3 PTWS.  Several area of the Gen-3's gearbox and circuitry were specifically tuned to handle the extended power of M130 (or higher) cylinder units, and the use of M130 units in older PTWS may cause pre-matured failure.  Nonetheless, for older generation training weapon users: rest assure that SYSTEMA did not forget about you!  We will shortly be releasing a dealer-installable "Version-Up Kit" so that you can bring your training weapons up to Generation-3 specification.

If you are not sure which version PTWS you have, here are a few tips:
1. All Gen-3 PTWS have steel barrels installed.  If your barrel has slightly lighter color then the receiver (similar finish to the magazine), it is a steel barrel and it is Gen-3.  Gen-1 and Gen-2 PTWS have aluminum barrel with a hard-anodized finish, which is darker and closer to the receiver's finish.
2. There is no Gen-1 M4A1.  If your M4 has a steel barrel, its Gen-3.  If it has a aluminum barrel, its Gen-2.
3. If you have an M16 (A2 or A3) but it does not have a steel barrel, look inside your butt stock (the battery compartment).  Pull the battery connector out and you should find a small power control circuit (where the fuse plugs into).  If the circuit is encased in a black, hard-plastic tube, its Gen-1.  If its surrounded by a clear shrink-wrap, its a Gen-2. 
       
        2005.03.03 : New and Improved - 3rd Generation SYSTEMA Training Weapon
SYSTEMA is proud to introduce the third generation Professional Training Weapon System!

Based on overwhelming public interest and user feedback, SYSTEMA have raise the bar again and further improved an already solid training platform.  Our third generation training weapon kept the best of the platform while improving several key area based on user requests.

New Circuitry - after SYSTEMA introduced the "electronic break" feature in the 2nd generation training weapons, we have now completely re-engineered the electronic circuit, resulting in dramatically improved stand-by battery performance.

New Hop-Up Unit - SYSTEMA has now redesigned and improved upon the hop-up unit where it provides even better and more consistent grouping.

New Motor - the latest motors on the training weapons are more powerful, more precise, and more energy efficient.  It provides unprecedented level of torque resulting in virtually instant action whenever the trigger is pulled.

SYSTEMA is confident that by continually listen to users and implement requested features, we can bring the best training tools that can satisfy the most demanding military and law enforcement training needs.  No matter what the situation calls for.  Period.
