Does anyone own an M4 Compact ($1,999) and a Leopard Compact bottle ($1,850) and can chime in if one is definitely better than the other? Price wise they are only $150 apart. For a potential buyer, is the M4 the way to go since it's their premium bullpup? Or is the Leopard unique enough for you to choose it over the M4?
Impact M4
The Impact has been around for quite some time and the M4 is a proven design (albeit with a lot of o-rings). The M4 is slightly shorter than the Leopard and weights 1.5 lbs less. The M4 also has a ton of aftermarket parts support.
Leopard Bottle
The Leopard has a little cleaner looking side profile but the tube over barrel design adds some weight. Can you remove the bottle on the Leopard and still use it but put it back if you needed the extra air capacity? The Leopard tube version looks a little AR for me personally.
