I've had 2 different Wolverine MTWs in 3 years. I sold my first one as I was legit bored of using it and smacking everybody, and it was the longest version they had and I wanted to move down to a 10 inch carbine; get the best of both worlds in terms of range and maneuverability since I also like indoor. All I can say from my experience is that while Polarstars do indeed offer immense trigger response and fire rates, the MTWs fit perfectly in the middle in terms of performance. Why I love my MTW is that in both of my Polarstar builds I have been working on, an LMG with an F2 and an MCX with a Jack, I have had constant feeding and alignment issues where depending on the day they will work or completely not work and feed, while my MTW just works. These reviews, or more in your own words overview in general, seem to overlook how you can't just buy a pre-assembled Polarstar gun (excluding the 'custom guns' built by a third party that cost more than the MTWs by far). That's talking about the cost of purchasing a donor gun (btw to get one on the level of the MTW's metal construction is already 200+ dollars or 150+ pounds as you're in the UK) to use the body and gearbox to put the Polarstar (F2's are 400+ dollars) into, and then the work and time to put it together and align it all correctly. I've always held the same opinion about my MTW since I got my first one; They are great HPA guns where you don't have to worry about almost anything, just open the box and plug in and play. And for that reason I will always own one and recommend one to anyone looking to get into HPA. However, that doesn't mean I think they are the best rifle out there or the best HPA system, I see them somewhere in the middle; fairly good and reliable. Does what it says on the tin basically
Thanks for the great insights. I've never owned anything with a polarstar in it, as all the talk online backs up everything you've said here - and I'm well aware of both my limitations, skill and patience wise, when it comes to something like that 😅

Hi! Its been a long time. I'm finally gonna buy in, however. What colour did you put on the upper receiver. And how did you do it. It looks amazing. I was just wondering because when I get the gun I wanna paint it that colour eventually. Thanks!
I am annoyed with everyone always suggesting HPA is easy to cheat with. If that is true that is totally the fault of the field you play at. Our fields simply mandate the use of a tournament lockable regulator and lock them themselves after you have chrono-ed your RIF with them. After that HPA is the most consistent system out there. I don’t see anyone testing lipo voltage before the rifs get chronod… Changing to a full battery after is much easier than meddling with a tournament locked HPA rig. Just my two cents. I use HPA and love it for its consistency. Not because it is OP… because it isn’t.
Exactly. People act like someone can't just go and change a spring after chrono or put hotter gas in (for gbb). That's why it's a sport of honor. If "HPA is so easy to cheat with" then so is a quick change spring, or hell even joule creeping if you wanna throw it that far.

Thankyou, yes I'll absolutely do a maintenance video in the future. Its not something that needs any real servicing on a regular basis. The barrel is mainly the thing you'll be looking to clear most id imagine.

In terms of maintenance, you'll be hard pressed to find anything that requires less attention from the user.

See you are using the EPM1 madcap mags with 250 round capacity. How are they working for you? Any of the troubles people experience with the spring being too strong to load them (even with an original Odin speedloader)? Or feeding issues?
I own several HPA systems including a mtw and a inferno mk46 lmg. They are good systems, but there are several reasons I believe it's not the best of the best: -The inferno system as a whole is a hybrid bolt system, not full closed like the reaper, f2, fusion engine, or n7 systems. This makes is not as accurate and efficient as a true closed bolt system (the mtw being a purpose built rifle around the engine minimizes the disadvantages of not being closed bolt by providing perfect allignment and spacing from the hop) -The biggest complaint I had was the original fcu programming with the mtw had a trigger delay. This means no spamming the trigger like polarstar allows. -the dwell and nozzle timing are not as adjustable as the polarstar systems without using an updated fcu or gorilla fcu. -the max rof on infernos to feed has always been lower than polarstars -The mtw uses a shitty line that can break. For close to 700+ it should have a better line and it's not ment to accept amped airsoft lines -the stock mtw hop up is ok, but left alot to be desired especially in auto feeding. This is why they came out with the Phoenix hop I think it serves as a mid tier hpa gun people can buy without the headaches of alligntmet that come with installing such a system,and having to tune things like nozzles and poppets. However a true closed bolt system installed correctly will outperform the mtw in terms of accuracy, auto rof, and air efficiency. Also for cqb the mtw with stock electronics would get wrecked by all polarstar systems for trigger spamming. Theres a reason you dont see any speedqb people using infernos. Great review tho I really got your love for the systems versatility!
That Sir, is an in-depth analysis! Thanks for the input. I love hearing other peoples views on stuff, and its obvious from your comments that you have a great deal of knowledge on the HPA world. What's your mk46 like efficency wise? I have a HPA 249 and its just air-hungry.. to the point that I'm gunna have to invest in a dual tank setup.
@@pewpewpaladin My a&k mk 46 has the following: -Inferno gen2 lmg edition with bluetooth and pre soldered connectors for box mags. -Bullgear cnc hop up, maple leaf 70degree MR. Hop bucking+omega nub, Prometheus 6.03 375mm barrel -highspeed rc motor box mag wired to fcu I run this with a ninja carbon fiber 90inch 4500psi tank. The bluetooth adjustments of dwell makes it much more efficient than the spartan or standard inferno fcus tuning. Also the stock hop up in lmgs is trash and a major weak point, upgrading nothing but the hop up will see a increase in efficiency and accuracy. Maple leaf MR Hop mimics a rhop patch for fantastic seal and the extra barrel length allows for higher fps at lower psi. Using my set up I can get 1.5j with .32s at 60psi and my tank lasts a whole day of playing. However the fusion engine and f2 I've tested could both be more fine tuned especially since the f2 comes with the red poppet stock which is very efficient. The fusion engine can be made even better with its plethora of nozzles, springs, and poppets Anyone getting an mtw I highly recommend the gorilla triggerboard and fcu as it allows for precise bluetooth adjustments and is weather proof along with a nicer trigger feel (click like microswitch vs inferno soft button tab)
@@jhqtech After researching and deliberating for over 8 months,my buddy and I opted for the MTW. Another guy on our field who is sponsored by Polarstar echo'd your views on the adjustability and tunability but he also said he had to deal with alignment issues more than he would like. I played paintball competatively for just over 20 years, and was our team gun tech for 10. I put reliability at the top of my list, along with accuracy. I have a 6.03 Promy barrel, Phoenix Hop, salient industries hop up arm, and maple leaf 60* bucking with .43 BBs. We are hitting torsos at 250 and bodies at 285ft (roughly). A high end tank regulator will make consistancy even which will improve accuracy. I run a Ninja 90CI tank in my pack, and i just wrap a towel around it and it doesnt move at all. I HATE the trigger but am going to look at the Guerilla board you recommended, but as a stock gun with small upgrades, it is easily performing with and in many cases BETTER that the high end HPA and AEG setups at our field. So much so, that our whole team, except for one, all use MTWs (14 of us).
@@TheTarotCardGuy yup allignment is always the bane of HPA, and I think that's the mtws best point that you dont have to deal with that issue. The gorilla fcu alone is amazing (has binary and ramping for paintballers) the triggerboard has a click reminiscent of the ares amoeba aegs which I'm not the biggest fan of but is certainly an upgrade over the stock mtw. I also recommend the black leaf triggerboards as their button is closer to how the fusion engine feels (the best trigger in airsoft) And while I agree the mtw is very accurate at range, I've seen fusion engine dmr builds hitting 350ft consistently. For dmrs I recommend the kythera system, while less tunable obviously, its fully mechanical and consistent to being within +1 fps every shot. I run one in a sr25 with a 550mm barrel and it nails people at 300ft better than almost any other hpa system I've used. All of which I attribute to closed bolt being the superior system. I encourage you to try the reaper mtw, it will give even better accuracy and consistency despite not having full auto. You can see how wolverine moved towards the full closed bolt system but didnt want to do a full dual solenoid system and went for the more marketable full rifle build with a hybrid system that works well. If you ever get a chance to shoot a properly installed fusion engine, you'll never want anything else. And if you like paintball check out the tippmann m4...
@@jhqtech I am on the fence whether or not to buy a custom M249 SAW with the Fusion Engine installed. Have they fixed the initial problems with the Reaper ? After the first year troubles, i stopped following.
It took welding school to understand gauges and high pressured air are nothing against acetylene tanks and shielding gas setups for mig welders. It's literally comparing a bike pump to a high pressured air system used to fill up a giant tire.
Mine is a custom build that was put together by airsmiths.co.uk They are a UK specialist in HPA and can basically build you anything your heart desires.
@@pewpewpaladin I guessed as much from a couple of your titles from sites down in Cornwall. I haven’t found anyone else as helpful or as knowledgeable (regarding MTW’s) as Josh and their lifetime guarantee for mechanical failure just made sense so was happy to take his advice on the build and order the RIF even though I’m 250 miles away.
@@pewpewpaladin max hop unit with Joshs recommendation on hop rubber, nub, arm etc and their customised inner barrel. Aesthetically I’m going to run it stock for a while as I’d like to replicate a knights armaments Kac-15 But there are quite a few other real steel guns I also liking the look of so I’m still undecided but it will be sent back down to Josh for him to procure the furniture for the build and ceracote it accordingly. Any recommendations on what you would build an MTW to look like if you did it all again?
@@kimberleycannon6894 All sounds great. Sounds like you've got a clear picture of where you're going with it. Im not sure about what I'd do with a second mtw.. Hera Arms have just produced a generation 2 of their ar15 kits - that might be a very individual build. I'm leaning more these days into the idea of transplanting wolverine engines into other guns. I'd love a HPA FAMAS at some point..
Nice! You're going to love it mate. Half the fun is deciding how you're going to customise it and what parts to go with. If you check out the MTW Facebook forums and Instagram pages etc - you'll find some fantastic creations to use as inspiration 😀
@ChadBroski-ek1ih It does require a battery, just to power the PCB. However, this can be as small as you can purchase as the draw is almost nothing. Bare in mind that the only space for the battery is inside your buffer tube, some stick batteries are best. Personally I use the same 7.4 lipo I put in my TM scar H - its nice and compact m, and what will usually last half a game day in the SCAR will power the MTW over several full game days.
That has to be the most asked question on this video 😁 amzn.to/412s2RB The link is too an acetech predator mkII, which is the next model along as the one in the video was the original mkI which they no long make.
Hopefully I get a response to this 🤞🤞, I just bought the forged 10” and was wondering what suppressor this is? And also the scope they looks mint, Thanks
@Pewpew_paladin. Nice lot of info as usual. Would have been nice to see your actual gun though instead of basically just the front half. You said it was cerakoted, didn't show it off, you said there was Daniel Defence furniture on it, didn't show it off. Please can we see more of the guns themselves please?
Just recently bought one and love it. Get a lot of praises on the Airsoft field. Also I’ve modified the silencer so it’s even more quieter! If it couldn’t be already. Nice video! What’s stock and silencer are you using? I can see your stock is different from mine. Love the colour too! Is that olive green? A complete list of your mods and attachments would nice to see! 👍🏼
Hi mate, thanks for the positive feedback 👍 the colour is actually listed as Tornado Grey - but totally agree that in some lights it looks more green than grey. The stock and pistol grip are a set from Daniel Defence and at the front I have the Acetech Predator mk2 tracer/suppressor.
Its a reproduction of a Leupold HAMR optic (you can find them on ebay) and its an Acetech predator II suppressor (although I think they've now moved on to the Predator III) which may be difficult to find now as they've stopped making them I think
Hey guys played around with electric recoil for a bit and although I love the extra Emerson it offers I am started to get a tad comptetitive in airsoft and want to move to HPA for fast trigger response and consistency. Is this the answer?
On the whole, if its for the competitive factor then yes I would tend to agree that a hpa setup like the wolverine would be the way to go. Its worth remembering though that there are some very consistent and responsive aeg setups with electronic trigger setups out there as well...
I can't find tornado grey in the cerakote shop. I wan't to use the same color because it fit's quite good to the stock. Has this color been renamed ? Does anyone know which currently offered color comes close to tornado grey?
I dont no what tho do wolverine or krytac aeg becouse hpa there is always a line tho a bottle so u cant lay your gun on the grond or whatever but hpa is mutch quied then a hpa becouse i already have a tippman botle and a buffertube becouse my airrifles
It's an Acetech Predator, but this particular one is now discontinued.. They moved on to the Predator II and possibly may have released a version 3 by now.
The maintenance is next to zero. Id drop her into a tech once a year to have new rings etc... obviously you want to keep the barrel etc clean as you would any normal rifle. I'm pretty selective about my shots and I don't tend to spam the trigger... I doubt I even use 2000 bbs in a game day and I find the tank will cruise through 2-3 game days with this play style.
Great video, I’m getting back into airsoft and I want this badly. I don’t know a single thing about HPA however, if I was to buy this rif what would I also need to buy to be able to use it straight away. Sorry I’m used to electric
Basically what you see in the vid. You'll need a tank, regulator and line. A small battery to power the circuit board internally and that about covers it. Obviously a compressor to refill your tank would be great, but 90% of sites offer refills these days.
@@Defender110_uk Yes mate, but you'll likely need to be patient as they tend to sell out fast. High pressure airsoft sell them online, as well as a few other retailers.. you might also be able to find a few 2nd hand examples on usedairsoft.
Only reason I use HPA is I can make it quiet. In the rest it was the opposite of what they told. Hard for perfect set up. So sensitive for many factor. Very expensive. 😂😂😂
It is super expensive, and it could just be me - but I feel like the price of these setups have inflated more in the last year, disproportionate to other options in airsoft... That being said, I still feel the reliability and performance of the wolverine is superb.
Is your MTW Billet the version 2 or the first generation? I was wanting to get a Forged series but there aren't any in the country (apparently for a few months still!) and from what I have heard the Forged has a better FCU for better trigger response in semi. Is the Billet good enough (given that it is the only one in stock)? Secondly, you said you have the stock barrel and hop unit, you haven't been tempted yet to install the Phoenix or Maxx hop units? Lastly, great vid, very informative and honest, I like it!
First off - thanks for the positive comments, they are always appreciated! Yeah mine is a version 2. The forged has a few little improvements over the billet, but not to the extent that I think you'd notice a world of difference when in the heat of a good skirmish. There also seems to be some debate as too how good the improvements are when comparing to the upgrades available elsewhere (such as the hop units, barrels etc) and its not uncommon to hear of people putting the same upgrades in their forged rifle. I've not been tempted to upgrade mine yet, because I've been very impressed with the out of the box performance - especially when pitted against all my other gear. But I will upgrading the hop & barrell in the future at some point - I'm kind of the mindset that if it isn't broke, don't fix it.
@@pewpewpaladin I appreciate the reply mate! Keep it up with the content and variety! I'd love to see some sort of round up of accessories (suppressors, grips, stocks etc) and what you enjoy and where you think the value is in airsoft.
@@ArmedSatsuma I was in the same boat, it’s worth Speaking to josh at Airsmiths as I have ordered a Billet with their signature build upgrade (maxi hop unit, hop rubber& nub and upgraded barrel). It should be here in a couple of weeks.
Internally mine is completely standard. She already performs similarly to most sniper builds in terms of range and groupings etc.. For those that want even more performance though, its not uncommon to upgrade the barrel and hop unit.
For a long time I've been using the PTS EMP mags with no issue at all. However, recently I've transitioned to using the stubby 130rd Ares mags - but purely for style choice, because I think they look great.
@@danielalva_1997 If you're in the UK there are s host of places I know.. Patrolbase, Zeroone, bespoke airsoft etc.. however if you're anywhere else I'd say Amazon or Ebay as I rarely buy from abroad and wouldn't be able to say what the customer service is like..
Incredible video! I've had my mtw for about a year and after I fixed some feeding issues, it really does outperform almost everyone on the field. And I don't know if you said it in the video but what foregrip is that? It looks sexy af
Thanks - Always love positive feedback 😊 The foregrip is actually sold on Amazon as a WASDN tactical aluminium foregrip. Nothing too expensive either - which is always a bonus.
MTWs just recently showed up in my country. Never knew of em till now. And so far, just shy of a 1000 American dollars, and how bland the model looks we got. Id say keep it. My 400 dollar GnG Mark18 works just fine.
@@pewpewpaladin Conditions are rough here in Southern Africa, weak airsoft shooters crumble before long. And GnG is proving to be our top performer, amidst the few brands we have available.

-Bullgear cnc hop up, maple leaf 70degree MR. Hop bucking+omega nub, Prometheus 6.03 375mm barrel
-highspeed rc motor box mag wired to fcu
I run this with a ninja carbon fiber 90inch 4500psi tank. The bluetooth adjustments of dwell makes it much more efficient than the spartan or standard inferno fcus tuning. Also the stock hop up in lmgs is trash and a major weak point, upgrading nothing but the hop up will see a increase in efficiency and accuracy. Maple leaf MR Hop mimics a rhop patch for fantastic seal and the extra barrel length allows for higher fps at lower psi.
Using my set up I can get 1.5j with .32s at 60psi and my tank lasts a whole day of playing. However the fusion engine and f2 I've tested could both be more fine tuned especially since the f2 comes with the red poppet stock which is very efficient. The fusion engine can be made even better with its plethora of nozzles, springs, and poppets
Anyone getting an mtw I highly recommend the gorilla triggerboard and fcu as it allows for precise bluetooth adjustments and is weather proof along with a nicer trigger feel (click like microswitch vs inferno soft button tab)
@@jhqtech
After researching and deliberating for over 8 months,my buddy and I opted for the MTW. Another guy on our field who is sponsored by Polarstar echo'd your views on the adjustability and tunability but he also said he had to deal with alignment issues more than he would like.
I played paintball competatively for just over 20 years, and was our team gun tech for 10. I put reliability at the top of my list, along with accuracy.
I have a 6.03 Promy barrel, Phoenix Hop, salient industries hop up arm, and maple leaf 60* bucking with .43 BBs. We are hitting torsos at 250 and bodies at 285ft (roughly).
A high end tank regulator will make consistancy even which will improve accuracy. I run a Ninja 90CI tank in my pack, and i just wrap a towel around it and it doesnt move at all.
I HATE the trigger but am going to look at the Guerilla board you recommended, but as a stock gun with small upgrades, it is easily performing with and in many cases BETTER that the high end HPA and AEG setups at our field. So much so, that our whole team, except for one, all use MTWs (14 of us).
@@TheTarotCardGuy yup allignment is always the bane of HPA, and I think that's the mtws best point that you dont have to deal with that issue. The gorilla fcu alone is amazing (has binary and ramping for paintballers) the triggerboard has a click reminiscent of the ares amoeba aegs which I'm not the biggest fan of but is certainly an upgrade over the stock mtw. I also recommend the black leaf triggerboards as their button is closer to how the fusion engine feels (the best trigger in airsoft)
And while I agree the mtw is very accurate at range, I've seen fusion engine dmr builds hitting 350ft consistently.
For dmrs I recommend the kythera system, while less tunable obviously, its fully mechanical and consistent to being within +1 fps every shot. I run one in a sr25 with a 550mm barrel and it nails people at 300ft better than almost any other hpa system I've used. All of which I attribute to closed bolt being the superior system.
I encourage you to try the reaper mtw, it will give even better accuracy and consistency despite not having full auto. You can see how wolverine moved towards the full closed bolt system but didnt want to do a full dual solenoid system and went for the more marketable full rifle build with a hybrid system that works well.
If you ever get a chance to shoot a properly installed fusion engine, you'll never want anything else.
And if you like paintball check out the tippmann m4...
@@jhqtech
I am on the fence whether or not to buy a custom M249 SAW with the Fusion Engine installed. Have they fixed the initial problems with the Reaper ? After the first year troubles, i stopped following.
It took welding school to understand gauges and high pressured air are nothing against acetylene tanks and shielding gas setups for mig welders.
It's literally comparing a bike pump to a high pressured air system used to fill up a giant tire.
Do you have the number of that school so I can better understand the scope of your comment..
Any chance you could link me somehow the exact rifle you have and the tank etc? Your video has made me want one NOW!!! please help!
Mine is a custom build that was put together by airsmiths.co.uk
They are a UK specialist in HPA and can basically build you anything your heart desires.
Ive just ordered a Billet- signature build from Airsmiths and the anticipation is killing me.
Cool, this very rifle came from them. Twas 001 in the signiture series.
@@pewpewpaladin I guessed as much from a couple of your titles from sites down in Cornwall. I haven’t found anyone else as helpful or as knowledgeable (regarding MTW’s) as Josh and their lifetime guarantee for mechanical failure just made sense so was happy to take his advice on the build and order the RIF even though I’m 250 miles away.
@@kimberleycannon6894 250! That's quite the commitment 👏 I hope you enjoy the rif when you get it - any clues as to your customizations?
@@pewpewpaladin max hop unit with Joshs recommendation on hop rubber, nub, arm etc and their customised inner barrel. Aesthetically I’m going to run it stock for a while as I’d like to replicate a knights armaments Kac-15 But there are quite a few other real steel guns I also liking the look of so I’m still undecided but it will be sent back down to Josh for him to procure the furniture for the build and ceracote it accordingly.
Any recommendations on what you would build an MTW to look like if you did it all again?
@@kimberleycannon6894 All sounds great. Sounds like you've got a clear picture of where you're going with it. Im not sure about what I'd do with a second mtw.. Hera Arms have just produced a generation 2 of their ar15 kits - that might be a very individual build.
I'm leaning more these days into the idea of transplanting wolverine engines into other guns. I'd love a HPA FAMAS at some point..
Nice vid, just ordered the Billet yesterday as an HPA package. No option for the green furniture you have though :(
Nice! You're going to love it mate. Half the fun is deciding how you're going to customise it and what parts to go with. If you check out the MTW Facebook forums and Instagram pages etc - you'll find some fantastic creations to use as inspiration 😀
Merry Christmas and thank you!!
Hi,could you please tell me what colour Cerakote that is on your gun please.
Tornado Grey- done to match the DD furniture
@@pewpewpaladin That's great, thanks and watching the video has made my mind up to get one of the guns.
Dude. Awesome video. Thanks so much for posting!! What red dot/optic do you have on it??
Thanks, its a clone of a Leupold HAMR optical setup. They are available on ebay.
Such a versatile platform!
Absolutely is!
What Color is that Ceracote? Its just awesome😍
It was custom mixed for me and is an approximation of the tornado grey used by Daniel Defence
Great vid! Sorry if i missed it but what version did you go for? CQB, SBR or Carbine?
Mine is the SBR version. The SBR just felt like the sort of size you could take anywhere and be competitive.
Quick question? Does that thing need a battery, if so. what battery does it use??
@ChadBroski-ek1ih It does require a battery, just to power the PCB. However, this can be as small as you can purchase as the draw is almost nothing. Bare in mind that the only space for the battery is inside your buffer tube, some stick batteries are best.
Personally I use the same 7.4 lipo I put in my TM scar H - its nice and compact m, and what will usually last half a game day in the SCAR will power the MTW over several full game days.
@pewpewpaladin Awesome, thank you so much!
What suppressor is that?
That has to be the most asked question on this video 😁 amzn.to/412s2RB
The link is too an acetech predator mkII, which is the next model along as the one in the video was the original mkI which they no long make.
Hopefully I get a response to this 🤞🤞, I just bought the forged 10” and was wondering what suppressor this is? And also the scope they looks mint, Thanks
Hi mate,
The suppressor is an Acetech predator II and the optic is a clone of a Leupold HAMR

@Pewpew_paladin. Nice lot of info as usual. Would have been nice to see your actual gun though instead of basically just the front half. You said it was cerakoted, didn't show it off, you said there was Daniel Defence furniture on it, didn't show it off. Please can we see more of the guns themselves please?
Haha you're absolutely right. Follow up video on my build will be on my list of upcoming videos 👍
@@pewpewpaladinCool. Looking forward to that. :)
That optics combination looks really good what are they?
Its a replica Leupold HAMR setup mate.
Just recently bought one and love it. Get a lot of praises on the Airsoft field. Also I’ve modified the silencer so it’s even more quieter! If it couldn’t be already.
Nice video! What’s stock and silencer are you using? I can see your stock is different from mine. Love the colour too! Is that olive green?
A complete list of your mods and attachments would nice to see! 👍🏼
Hi mate, thanks for the positive feedback 👍 the colour is actually listed as Tornado Grey - but totally agree that in some lights it looks more green than grey. The stock and pistol grip are a set from Daniel Defence and at the front I have the Acetech Predator mk2 tracer/suppressor.
@@pewpewpaladin thanks for the speedy reply! Keep up the good work on your channel! Love it! 👍🏼🙌🏼
@@pewpewpaladin cerakote?
Great looking MTW build! Can I ask what peq box and suppressor that is? If possible do you have links?
It's not a PEQ, it's a WADSN DBAL-A2 :) In respect of the suppressor, don't hold me to it, but looks like a Acetech Predator
Hi. Can you please tell me what is the name of the suppresser you are using in this video. Thanks
Its an Acetech Predator MKII mate
I've watched this video like 5 times. I'm getting the Billet, if it's ever back in stock!
Thanks for the support - hope you manage to find one soon. 👍
Ive watched it few times too. Just about to pull the trigger (pardon the pun) on a 10in billet i think
Mate great vid, exactly the opinion and information I was looking for! Thanks
Thanks dude, and thanks for supporting the channel!
@@pewpewpaladin will you be at IWA? let’s grab a beer
I got 2 question
what scope is this
and what sort of supressor is this (look very nice and where can i buy those
Its a reproduction of a Leupold HAMR optic (you can find them on ebay) and its an Acetech predator II suppressor (although I think they've now moved on to the Predator III) which may be difficult to find now as they've stopped making them I think
Been wanting one of these for a while now
They are well worth the money mate. 👍
Hey bro im trying to get my hands on a Wolverine MTW BILLET SBR 10. what site did you get yours from or do you know a site i can get one
Try contacting Josh at Airsmiths in Cornwall.
Hey guys played around with electric recoil for a bit and although I love the extra Emerson it offers I am started to get a tad comptetitive in airsoft and want to move to HPA for fast trigger response and consistency. Is this the answer?
On the whole, if its for the competitive factor then yes I would tend to agree that a hpa setup like the wolverine would be the way to go. Its worth remembering though that there are some very consistent and responsive aeg setups with electronic trigger setups out there as well...
What reg do you use? Good vid 👌 😁
I can't find tornado grey in the cerakote shop. I wan't to use the same color because it fit's quite good to the stock. Has this color been renamed ? Does anyone know which currently offered color comes close to tornado grey?
Had to get it custom mate. Not off the shelf colour.
@@pewpewpaladin thx for the quick response. I will probably do it with the black stock. This way I have no dependency.
I dont no what tho do wolverine or krytac aeg becouse hpa there is always a line tho a bottle so u cant lay your gun on the grond or whatever but hpa is mutch quied then a hpa becouse i already have a tippman botle and a buffertube becouse my airrifles
Hi, late question here, what suppressor are you using?
It's an Acetech Predator, but this particular one is now discontinued.. They moved on to the Predator II and possibly may have released a version 3 by now.
Anyone have a link to purchase this model in the video? I’m in the US.
How long does the bottle last, plus what's the maintenance like? Thanks
The maintenance is next to zero. Id drop her into a tech once a year to have new rings etc... obviously you want to keep the barrel etc clean as you would any normal rifle.
I'm pretty selective about my shots and I don't tend to spam the trigger... I doubt I even use 2000 bbs in a game day and I find the tank will cruise through 2-3 game days with this play style.
@@pewpewpaladin Thank you for the info and reply really appreciate it 👍
Great video, I’m getting back into airsoft and I want this badly. I don’t know a single thing about HPA however, if I was to buy this rif what would I also need to buy to be able to use it straight away. Sorry I’m used to electric
Basically what you see in the vid. You'll need a tank, regulator and line. A small battery to power the circuit board internally and that about covers it. Obviously a compressor to refill your tank would be great, but 90% of sites offer refills these days.
@@pewpewpaladin thanks for the rapid reply man, really appreciate it. For that you get my sub 😂
@@goone9722 haha, no problem mate, and thankyou for the support 👍
@@pewpewpaladin are these available in the UK?
@@Defender110_uk Yes mate, but you'll likely need to be patient as they tend to sell out fast. High pressure airsoft sell them online, as well as a few other retailers.. you might also be able to find a few 2nd hand examples on usedairsoft.
It just astounds me these things cost more than a REAL, rifle!😧
crazy isn't it
Only reason I use HPA is I can make it quiet. In the rest it was the opposite of what they told. Hard for perfect set up. So sensitive for many factor. Very expensive. 😂😂😂
It is super expensive, and it could just be me - but I feel like the price of these setups have inflated more in the last year, disproportionate to other options in airsoft... That being said, I still feel the reliability and performance of the wolverine is superb.
Nice video very helpful. One question can PCP AIRRIFLE TANK fit airsoft tank. Because I playing PCP myself.
I have no clue.. they screw directly into your rifles don't they? In which case, at the very least I'd imagine you'll need a regulator/adaptor ..
I realize this is two years old and if it's already been answered I apologize, but what is the suppressor you're running here?
An Acetech predator - but they have since discontinued this exact version in favour a slightly newer and sleeker design I believe.
Where did you get the colour ?
Had to have it done custom in an attempt to match the Daniel Defence furniture.
Is your MTW Billet the version 2 or the first generation? I was wanting to get a Forged series but there aren't any in the country (apparently for a few months still!) and from what I have heard the Forged has a better FCU for better trigger response in semi. Is the Billet good enough (given that it is the only one in stock)? Secondly, you said you have the stock barrel and hop unit, you haven't been tempted yet to install the Phoenix or Maxx hop units? Lastly, great vid, very informative and honest, I like it!
First off - thanks for the positive comments, they are always appreciated!
Yeah mine is a version 2. The forged has a few little improvements over the billet, but not to the extent that I think you'd notice a world of difference when in the heat of a good skirmish. There also seems to be some debate as too how good the improvements are when comparing to the upgrades available elsewhere (such as the hop units, barrels etc) and its not uncommon to hear of people putting the same upgrades in their forged rifle.
I've not been tempted to upgrade mine yet, because I've been very impressed with the out of the box performance - especially when pitted against all my other gear. But I will upgrading the hop & barrell in the future at some point - I'm kind of the mindset that if it isn't broke, don't fix it.
@@pewpewpaladin I appreciate the reply mate! Keep it up with the content and variety! I'd love to see some sort of round up of accessories (suppressors, grips, stocks etc) and what you enjoy and where you think the value is in airsoft.
@@ArmedSatsuma I was in the same boat, it’s worth Speaking to josh at Airsmiths as I have ordered a Billet with their signature build upgrade (maxi hop unit, hop rubber& nub and upgraded barrel). It should be here in a couple of weeks.
What internal upgrades have you done or recommend
Internally mine is completely standard. She already performs similarly to most sniper builds in terms of range and groupings etc..
For those that want even more performance though, its not uncommon to upgrade the barrel and hop unit.
Why not a air stock like pcp's ?
Hey just a quick question. What suppressor are you running?
Acetech Predator
Best mid caps to run with the weapon that feeds really well and fits snug?
For a long time I've been using the PTS EMP mags with no issue at all. However, recently I've transitioned to using the stubby 130rd Ares mags - but purely for style choice, because I think they look great.
@@pewpewpaladin thank you I appreciate it. A good site for me to maybe get them ?
@@danielalva_1997 If you're in the UK there are s host of places I know.. Patrolbase, Zeroone, bespoke airsoft etc.. however if you're anywhere else I'd say Amazon or Ebay as I rarely buy from abroad and wouldn't be able to say what the customer service is like..

America in California
What suppressor is that
It's an Acetech Predator - sadly a discontinued model now, but the the version 2 isn't that much different.
Incredible video! I've had my mtw for about a year and after I fixed some feeding issues, it really does outperform almost everyone on the field.
And I don't know if you said it in the video but what foregrip is that? It looks sexy af
Thanks - Always love positive feedback 😊
The foregrip is actually sold on Amazon as a WASDN tactical aluminium foregrip. Nothing too expensive either - which is always a bonus.
MTWs just recently showed up in my country. Never knew of em till now. And so far, just shy of a 1000 American dollars, and how bland the model looks we got. Id say keep it. My 400 dollar GnG Mark18 works just fine.
Yeah absolutely... It's a great setup, but if you've already got something that works great for you - stick with it.
@@pewpewpaladin Conditions are rough here in Southern Africa, weak airsoft shooters crumble before long. And GnG is proving to be our top performer, amidst the few brands we have available. It being Africa, we naturally get the scraps and having to fight for the last teet in regards to anything imported. A buddy of mine got a Wolverine, and its a beast, but anyone sufficiently skilled can use anything just as well. I recently bought an MP5 SD, and i wouldnt trade it for any MTW.
