Tested by Ed

I'm really impressed with the Prow XM5 - the chrono consistency was crazy, probably the most consistent gas blowback I've ever had, at about 325 FPS on 0.25s, roughly 1.2 joules. The external quality is really good and it feels solid, chunky and very satisfying to hold. The big issue for me is the outer barrel movement inside the rail, which I need to strip down and secure. It's expensive at $950 before shipping and tariffs, but that's still a lot cheaper than the Toxicant. I still need to test the hop-up and do proper target shooting before a full verdict.

MWS hop-up compatibility is Ed's speculation, not confirmed
Bolt could not be removed, so internals were not fully inspected
