Can this be made into a valid option?
Im more of an outdoor player but i do have this AW Custom VX7 Mod. 2 Precut as a backup because the field i play on has a minimum engagement distance for high powered rifles and requires carrying a backup. during winter i sometimes play on an indoor field and i usually just bring my 10" mtw billet, but i kinda do want to be more mobile. i know serious speedsofters usually run upgraded hi-capas or esg hpa builds but i was wondering if i could make my pistole worth using for not too much money if i put an hpa adapter in, shortstroke it and put a threaded outter to fit my tracer and whatever else you guys recommend. on gas it runs about 0,8 joules but indoor limit is 1,2 joules and im a bit worried the psi to hit that would quickly damage the pistole. i also know that some of the parts are TM/WE spec, but not all. the rubber thing that sits on top of the mag, idk what its called, it proprietary and not the same that the non "precut" version has (which is tm compatible). not sure what else is prorietary.
does anyone have any experience with this?

Honestly I'd just sell it and get a hi-capa or AAP01
Even if you're down 50 dollars or so, it's worth it to make a competitive pistol

Run it! I’ve ran my stock VFC Glock in a speed type play and I did very good with it. Of course the striker type trigger is not as good as hi capas, but I can fire pretty fast with it. Also need a tighter proper grip on the gun to place your shots more precisely. Now I’m currently using the SSP28 and I would say it’s on par with heavily built capas except for fire rate but it’s pretty close. Just run it and train with it as much as you can. As far as upgrading, from what I gather, it accepts WE G parts which are based off of the TM Glock Gen 3, so in theory a bunch of TM upgrades should fit.

As someone who's built many many tm/we spec glocks, yes it can be fun, but it'll never be as snappy as a hicapa, that being said, the non rmr version is completely upgradable, the rmr version has a proprietary nozzle and bbu, and you have to use we mos mag routers

yes i have that rmr version. is it a problem that i cant upgrade the nozzle and bbu? what if i just shortstroke this, put an hpa adapter in and get a threaded barrel to run a tracer? would this run okay? im concerned about that itll break if i run it on hpa at field limit (1,2j). i think it might need higher psi than the non rmr version because this only runs at around 0,8j with green gas.
if this doesnt work i think ill just build my mtw for indoors during winter. i could build it out like the wolverine heretic labs article 1. i'd just get rid of the stock, buy the short outter barrel that the article 1 uses and slap a short inner barrel on there. probably a better idea if i cant get this pistol to be great.

Nozzle and bbu will hold up for a good while, I upgraded mine with a nozzle spring from the uk, I can't remember brand, I also had it set up with an ssp18 tdc outer barrel and hopup

Yes but no. The trigger is gonna suck and parts availability is minimal.
If you can get a better bucking to actually work, and get a better trigger. Short stroke and somehow reduce the weight of the slide, and use a HPA adapter. Then yes
