[QUOTE=felix the cat;33185840] If WA made a CZ I think I'd probably explode with excitement[/QUOTE] Why do you like WAs so much out of curiosity? [editline]8th November 2011[/editline] Ive had two WAs (Still have one, actually) and both of them, while they lasted AGES, crapped themselves on propane and had fixed hop ups. And parts simply broke from stress since they are mostly plastic. I mean, they are good guns, but Ive liked the KWAs Ive had much more.

Because the WA I have is by far the most beautiful feeling and cycling GBB I've ever laid my hands on. It actually runs really well on propane (minus the lost efficiency that you get with 134a) and it's got good enough range for a pistol and it's fairly accurate. All my stock parts are in great shape too. The only reason I use upgrade parts is because I have them, so why not. Overall I have not yet encountered a nicer pistol. I've never had any problems with it. Which models did you have? Did you have SCW1, 2, or 3? Because I've heard all about problems with the SCW1 and SCW3 systems. If I could get my hands on one of the old Magna system guns, I'd be in heaven.

[QUOTE=felix the cat;33188282]Because the WA I have is by far the most beautiful feeling and cycling GBB I've ever laid my hands on. [/quote] Have you ever used a KWA? Or a TM? KWAs have better build quality and TMs cycle better by my estimation, and they don't cost as much. [quote] It actually runs really well on propane (minus the lost efficiency that you get with 134a) and it's got good enough range for a pistol and it's fairly accurate. [/quote] Yeah but they are built for duster and the reliability drops when you run propane through them. I don't want to have to upgrade a pistol to get it to run properly on propane. [quote] Which models did you have? Did you have SCW1, 2, or 3? Because I've heard all about problems with the SCW1 and SCW3 systems. [/QUOTE] The one I have now is SCW 1 and I have no idea what the other one was. I just don't see any advantage to owning one when I get essentially the same performance, more reliability, and metal externals, and a friggen' adjustable hop-up with a KWA. My WA is just a wallhanger at the moment because the barrel bushing broke due to wear and tear and popped out, and the safety broke off when I dropped it at a game.

because airsoft is just like fashion its all about the brands

Time bomb you need to get a metal slide for TM to run smoothly on propane. Also with a bit of lithium grease I got a KJW g23 to cycle better than a stock tokyo marui.

[QUOTE=Inafinus :3;33191168]because airsoft is just like fashion its all about the brands[/QUOTE] im fine with my peasant target brand cyma thanks

[QUOTE=Ccharlton;33191241]Time bomb you need to get a metal slide for TM to run smoothly on propane[/QUOTE] Ive seen 4.3s and deagles go pretty much forever without any issues

I got the WA over a TM because WA makes absolutely beautiful 1911s. I'm not a fan of TM's 1911. I've held and fired some KWAs and I was less than impressed. The KSCs are nicer IMO And like I've said, the only thing I lost by using my WA on propane was the gas efficiency. It still cycles and shoots beautifully.

I'm looking at the KWA M4 RIS with the crane stock. Any feedback on that one? [url]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=5631[/url]

it's good to go just add acog

[QUOTE=the_killer24;33193956]it's good to go just add acog[/QUOTE] I would love an acog, but I don't have a huge amount of money to spend on optics. An acog replica like this [url]http://www.evike.com/product_info.php?cPath=32_182&products_id=31445[/url] would suit me just fine. What do you think?

yeah. No need to buy real ACOGs for airsoft anyways

I got my acog for 40 dollar off of dealextreme but they don't have anything except a crappy aimpoint replica there any more [editline]8th November 2011[/editline] and the railed optic g36 carry handle!!!!!

Thanks for the quick and informative feedback guys. I appreciate it. I've been hopping around from gun to gun for a while now, and I've heard alot of good things about KWA.

wait they're selling a clone moe handguard for $13

Airsoftgi is running a big discount on KWA stuff right now.

and a clone ctr stock for $19

Coupon Code:kwanice Discount: 18% Expire: 11/14/2011 Works only on KWA items though, but you'll save a boatload.

[QUOTE=notrabies;33194101]Coupon Code:kwanice Discount: 18% Expire: 11/14/2011 Works only on KWA items though, but you'll save a boatload.[/QUOTE] Thank you so much. I would have never thought to look up any codes.

fuck those cheap prices on airsoft guns almost makes me wish I was an American.

[QUOTE=notrabies;33194093]Airsoftgi is running a big discount on KWA stuff right now.[/QUOTE] Wonder if this anything to do with their new M4 ERG line coming out in December.

[QUOTE=Timebomb575;33191637]Ive seen 4.3s and deagles go pretty much forever without any issues[/QUOTE] I can personally attest to the longevity of the TM high capa 5.1/4.3 on propane. I got a solid 5 years out of my first 5.1, the slide does wear which stops the lock back but you just trim it back into shape with a craft knife. Would have got a few more years out of it had I not broken it by fully taking it down for cleaning (exerted far too much preassure, my own fault) Easily the best Skirmish pistol I've used in terms of having fast cycle, 32 rounds, amazing hop, enough gas for even cold weather and easy maintenance. Only problem is the heavy mag. When I'm not going full arab I use a vest with 2 capa mag dispencers and just the high capa, It's that good. Although with felix linking that CZ, damn I like the look of that.

I've got my SMERSH on the way now as well. Sfera was shipped yesterday. Once someone gets a damned Partizan sniper suit in 54-5 or 54-6 I'll be able to work on my CQB loadout I've been wanting to do. Basing the loadout from the MVD Spetsnaz seen during the Beslan School incident.

[QUOTE=Timebomb575;33191637]Ive seen 4.3s and deagles go pretty much forever without any issues[/QUOTE] Just talking from seeing the cracks in the TM's i've handled. It's takes ages for any wear and tear way too long to notice but it does do damage.

My TM Hicapa 4.3 still works great. Slide catch doesn't work anymore because the plastic on the slide has worn down, but hey it still shoots.

Ender, have you ever used a WA Infinity? [editline]10th November 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Timebomb575;33187907]crapped themselves on propane and had fixed hop ups. And parts simply broke from stress since they are mostly plastic. [/QUOTE] Sounds like your other WA was an SCW3. The SCW2s have the same hop up as KSC guns. Also, SCW1 had lots of problems with Green Gas/Propane, that's why they modified the design and created the SCW2 system, which has a completely different hammer/firing pin system than SCW1, and an adjustable hop up. The SCW2 guns are widely accepted as the best WA guns other than the original "Magna" system, which was dispensed with long ago. Later, WA again revised their design and came up with the SCW3 system. The SCW3s were not good tbh. The new firing pin had a horrible tendency to light strike, and they reverted back to the fixed hop up. Still, it's odd that you say alot of your parts broke due to being plastic. The only plastic parts that I'm aware of are the Slide, frame, and chamber. Those parts are all plastic on TMs too, and frankly, the WA slides and frames are much better quality than the Marui counterparts. TMs actually used to have alot more plastic parts than they do now, but started adding metal parts because WA used metal parts.

Only WA I ever tried was my friends, some sort of hicapa model race gun. All I know is he spent over $1000 in parts on it and still had problems with it.

Just spent $280 on an M81 pantac ciras, dump pouch, camel back, and bbs.
