IBICO Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I know there's been lots of talk about the KAC PDW coming out for airsoft. We've had the VFC version followed by Dboy's PDW and Echo 1's rebranded "RDW". But those are AEGs... But since we at GGI is a gas guns forum :-) Here's what WETTI has to offer.

Whan Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I wonder what the price point will be? $200 in HK/china shops before shipping? Slightly lower than the scar. Link to post Share on other sites
Mega12 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I wonder what the price point will be? $200 in HK/china shops before shipping? Slightly lower than the scar. Is the PDW partial polymer? Link to post Share on other sites
alston251 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I don't think they will have to lower the price lower than the Scar. Because of the natural popularity of the PDW and it is the first GBB version too. So there should be little competition with the AGM/JG/WA/G&P GBBs. But if they want to have a competition with the DBoys PDW. The price should be interesting. Damn i don't think i have money for another WE GBB. Link to post Share on other sites

Spencerman Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Wow. I can hardly wait for this. I liked the VFC as soon as I saw it, but it was a little too pricey for me. Then the Dboys/KAC versions, which is more like my budget, so I was thinking of getting one the other night. Good job I didnt. I wonder though, the propriatory magazines are smaller than those of the normal armalite series, so will they hold many shots? Also I wondered whether the M4/scar magazines will fit, as I am sure that I read that the aeg M4 magazines will fit in the KAC pdw, which would be great for those who own one of the above already as they will then straight away have extra mags at thier disposal. I really like the way that WE are coming out with some really nice guns, and it is also really good to see them listening to thier end customers and responding to thier concerns, a really nice bit of customer liason. I can see them costing me a small fortune! Now hurry up wetti people, stop reading this and hurry up and release these and those Browning Hi Powers that you are doing, go!

LegitMaan Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 This is pretty cool. This could be my entry into the gbbr world, assuming it does't have the faults of the WE SCAR. Link to post Share on other sites

Jim01 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 OOOOH i like, i like...im assuming how quickly WE pushed out its Scar then this should be out in a relativly short time! Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyJ Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Oh wow! Now I wanna wait for this and forget about the SCAR! Link to post Share on other sites
rusTORK Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Nice! But i need MP5-N... 8-\ Link to post Share on other sites
bart_dude Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 just wondering, what is this hype with the pdw? it is a very practical choice since it combines the features modern day gun has like the stock, sights rails and ambi stuff, but i just dont like the looks of it, did a game or something make this gun famous? Link to post Share on other sites
appslapp Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 its very sleek, light , and you can work this gun faster than an M4 in "combat".............and you are not running around with a mp5K just to have a small gun. And no....I dont mean real combat...just nerdcombat for chubby nerds as myself;) Link to post Share on other sites

It is indeed quite unusual. Usually, airsoft models only gain popularity after they've been seen in use with some high speed spec-ops unit. However, afaik the most publicity this gun has received is when it was featured in an episode of "Future Weapons". Link to post Share on other sites
MinisterofDeath Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Not bad. CNC Machined you've got to like that. The quality of production is definitely on the rise in airsoft. Link to post Share on other sites
Revenge Seeker Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Wow its already updated with pics of a painted receiver and the bolt carrier. Looks like this is progressing even faster than the WE SCAR was. Link to post Share on other sites
Whan Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 The PDW is pretty much an improved M4 with all the goodies most people want in a package that's really light. It's also good looking too. Ver 2 compatibility + M4 mag compatibility + folding stock + good looks & Unique + KAC = Highly liked in airsoft. Link to post Share on other sites
somegirls Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I like it, even it will most likely still not be ready out of the box. Link to post Share on other sites
yehaw Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 kinda unrealistic if it takes regular 5,56 magazines .. Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyJ Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 kinda unrealistic if it takes regular 5,56 magazines .. well to forgo a little bit of realism just to make sure you don't segment the market is the logical business decision. Last thing WETTI wants is to force their customers to having to buy different types of magazines considering that would make many a dissatisfied customer. Link to post Share on other sites
Whan Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Right. Why not let the people who want practicallity to use m4 mags, but also let those that want realism to use only PDW mags? Link to post Share on other sites
yehaw Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Right. Why not let the people who want practicallity to use m4 mags, but also let those that want realism to use only PDW mags? those who want realism don't like a PDW that is out of spec .. the receiver of the RS version is shorter than a regular M4 lower, so are the magazines. you can't use AR15 mags in a PDW and you can't use PDW mags in your M4.

hitmanNo2 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 It could be made with the lower receiver swappable. One lower for PDW spec mags and one for AR15 magazines for the people that already have AR15 mags. Link to post Share on other sites
Whan Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 those who want realism don't like a PDW that is out of spec .. the receiver of the RS version is shorter than a regular M4 lower, so are the magazines. you can't use AR15 mags in a PDW and you can't use PDW mags in your M4. Fair point, though no one knows the exact dimensions of a real PDW. Perhaps a AR15 mag will "fit" in a PDW, at least length wise. For me, it's a good compromise, but I can see your dilemma.

BrooklynBorn Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Thats what I love about this forum. 1 freakin day gone and I get pages of info on a single gun. Anywhoo. This seems cool, but what are the differences between teh PDW and the M4? Just upper and few minor parts right? Link to post Share on other sites
