The Systema Personal Training Weapon (PTW) is the "Ferrari " of airsoft guns, and used by Police/SWAT/Military for training purposes.


WTF couldnt you buy a REAL M4 type weapon and a Simunition kit with a ton of ammo for the same price?

You could, but the concept is a dedicated training weapon.

There would be no way a live weapon could get into the training scenario that had not been switched over to simunition.  There is no way live ammo can be fired through the weapon.  There are a number of training accidents where a live weapon gets into simunition simulations.  

If no "real" weapons are allowed, there is no way someone can "forget" or fail to convert a weapon.

You continiously teach to never point a weapon at a person, preach safe handling, then you negate all that by converting the weapon with a simunition kit and tell them to shoot each other.  Very dangerous, with major safety issues if there is a failure to control all live weapons.

There really is a safety issue involved!

Indeed.

Also, the PTW is much cheaper to operate than simunitions.  Airsoft BBs are so cheap as to be negligible, and the only other factor is electricity to charge the battery.
