kwa mp9 opinions
 

ok i was wondering how everyone feels about the kwa mp9 im looking into it and it seems to be an awesome gun except for when looking for mags...So i guess my question is how is the gun and what is mag availability like, cross compatibility? can i use ksc mags with the kwa?

I just ordered one, and I've heard many good things about them. Mags are really hard to find unless you want to go through some very expensive US retailers or ebay. I ordered some through the KWA Pro Shop and they haven't told me they're out of stock yet, so that should work (aside from the very high shipping costs).
You can use KSC mags as long as they are System 7/NS2; some are and some aren't so watch out for that.

Great GBB guns. If you are using the stock and aiming down the sights then you will get a little puff of gas in the eye each shot. Personally I find it annoying. If you use propane the stink is right in your face.

They are loud and have a very nice rate of fire. There is a guide on here somewhere about some modifications you should do to it right out of the box. One of those steps is to reduce the gas puffs coming out of the charging handle. Others are about sanding down the sharp edge of the bolt catch, and stretching one of the springs that may be too strong from the factory.

Aside from mags, the most common problem was the nozzle breaking (a common problem with KWA guns) and the nozzle return springs getting mashed up. Regular lubing will prolong your nozzle but it may ultimately give way. There are various replacement nozzles available, including an all metal one. Its a good idea to keep some as spares, along with the nozzle return springs.

Where can I find the all metal nozzles?

cool good to know i just dont wanna go and sell a bunch of guns and gear for a gun that will ultimately disappoint me. I'm getting more into the ggb aspect and taking your time taking the shot kinda like my shotgun :P but i was also stuck trying to decide going cqb or outdoors with this. it would be a bitch to have to take it apart everytime and i imagine its not fantastic for the gun

Metal nozzle is here:

Its a solid gun as long as you regularly maintain it. I haven't had any issues other than a spring that I had to stretch out because its too strong. I believe theres a CQB bolt available that drops in with a moderate amount of disassembling. The actual takedown is more tedious than the KWA MP7 in comparison.

oh where is this cqb bolt available?

convenient... that is definitly a worthy purchase for convenience sake. but since its been a couple years i was thinking maybe they fixed all these issues :/ guess not

These issues are common baggage for a lot of KWAs. If you think this is bad, look up reports on their M93R

see this as a gun that will last the years? given care is given every game

Two hundred and fucking sixty-four bucks!? O_o That's the price of the gun we pay here nowadays :confused::shock: Might as well buy a few plastic nozzles instead, AND you know, when you feel like it, buy a new gun once or twice... Damn!



Edit: oooooohh I missed the "HK" there... whoo! 33.51 for the current rate, makes much more sense now..! Move along, nothing to see here! :P

It's a good fun gun to bust out the odd scrim for shits and giggles but I will never run it as a primary.

*Giggles*

I've only gamed it once so far. I'll report on it once I get out more :(
