Product Information:
Well, I ordered this and recieved it quickly. Thanks to ASGI for getting it to me before Operation Pine Plains 4, here in Upstate New York.
Anyways. This was used for 28+ hours straight at OPP4, even though it is a 21 hour continuous Op, it was on my 1-pt sling for far, far longer. I can honestly say that this thing has earned it's place. It is a workhorse, with .25's at the Chrono it was shooting 350. He shot it 3 times and it hit 350 every time, it got quite the chuckle before it finally hit 354. It's weighted but not heavy, it's long but not awkward, it's short but not stubby. It's a perfect model for going for a basic M4.
Pros:
It was shooting constant after the hop-up broke in. I honestly had no problems with getting this gun to shoot. I did not order a battery with this gun, stupid me. Honestly, if you are buying this, buy a battery that will properly fit into the crane stock. Anyways, to my surprise this gun was not only turning over, but firing hard and fast with an 8.4 battery. Very shocking to say the least.
Anyways, after the break in period it was doing very well. At Op Pine Plains 4, a Semi-Only event inside of a US army MOUT course. I had one battery last me for 98% of the entire game. Which was surprising in itself.
The gun is easy to handle, and comfy to hold. Even after a couple hours. It comes with the standard Carrying Handle and triangle front sight. It works well with a full face mask and is great with just the goggles. If I wanted too, an EOTECH will fit right with the front sight, but any other red-dot that is not on the Carrying handle will be blocked by the Front Mount and the Front Mount will need to be removed if you want to use it without the carrying handle as a riser.
The RIS fit my NCstar green laser perfectly fine with no problems, and no wobble.
The High-cap included feeds and fits without problem.
There is very little wobble. It is sturdy, but this Airsoft rifle is not without it's problems...
Cons:
Here is a quick list of some of the bad.
I use Midcaps, before this I had an M4 that was a very whorish gun. It would take any M4 mag and feed it without dropping it.
The KWA is a very... picky, gun. 4 out of the 8 midcap mags I had fit into it. So I had to buy an 8-pack of the MAG plastic 130 round midcaps (Which by the way always fed and never wobbled. Quite sturdy too, construction wise. Also OPP4 tested), So that didn't make me too happy, but what can you expect.
The KWA KM-4 RIS does not come with a battery, as all high-end guns don't. Very annoying. As I had to strap a Battery to it and electrical tape the end of my Crane stock. Not very tacticool, you know? But who cares, as long as it is working.
The Gun's RIS is seemingly picky as well, as a King Arms vert foregrip (In OD if it matters, it was the only one in stock) does not want to play nicely. It will sit, and stay, but it will not screw completely onto the RIS, it will also jog slightly foreward and back, as if it was between locks. I tried it in numerous positions and such, but to no avail. The Foregrip was solid to the gun, and it also lasted the entirety of OPP4, even with the harshness I put it through, but I can't say I'm pleased. Maybe it was just the Foregrip. I have yet to see. As I said before it fit a Green Laser perfectly fine. But we shall see.
The Gun itself is overall well constructed, but as I said the Magwell problems, as well as the battery is just an annoyance. This gun is a definite buy for those looking for a solid starting well rounded base M4 platform to expand with as you grow as an Airsofter.
It gets 5 stars out of the basis of what it endured and what it has to offer. There are cons, as there are with every gun, but i have had no mechanical issues in around 1300 rounds through it in just 28 hours on mostly semi with some Auto mixed in.
