Thats if they haven't changed their designs in the past year.

Yeah they changed the design. It comes with a hopup unit that looks EXACTLY like the one Systema makes. Actually, it's almost nicer then then Systema one as its coated with a black finish that looks like what Mabull Black Python barrels are coated with.

That said, I just got some samples of the new Classic Army hopup in-stock, they look JUST like the Madbull Ultimate hopup but are all metal and can not accommodate the LED add-on and don't have the o-ring the Madbull unit has. Other then that, it's almost example the same. Has the click-lock adjust dial and everything. Things work AMAZING.

I ended up getting these before I had a chance to order myself some Madbull units so I'm probably just going to stick with this. I never planned on using tracer BBs and as cool as I thought it sounded, I don't NEED the o-ring and the not being able to make the gun safe as mentioned above, coupled with having to possibly poke the thing might annoy me.
