  1. this is a well known issue on the KWA USA forums. It's basically too much silicone seeping into the hop rubber, it would seem.

     

    I haven't had it yet, and i'm running propane exclusively, with green half filling the mags when they're not being used, to maintain the seals.

     

    At least, that's how I think it's working. I've ordered a couple of buckings just in case my theory is nonsense.

  2. KSC and KWA Are Completely different comapnys. I love KSC more than KWA. The KSC seems to me to be a Little Better Quailty. There Taiwan Version is also called System 7 and FEATURES a 430 FPS Rocket Valve comapred to a 350 and the Taiwan Verison Had Heckler & Kotch and GMBH Trades and Cal 4.6 x 30 ///Comapred to Energy >1 Joule and Caliber 6mm and a Serial Number

     

     

    They may be separate companies, technically, but the guns come off the same production line and are identical except for the trades and the power adjustment elements. I have a KSC Japan and a KWA USA. My KSC had different tolerances in the bolt manufacture than Greg's KSC did. There's no difference in the mouldings or the finish or the reliability. Greg did find my trigger pin had bent in the KWA, but that had had about ten times more use than the KSC which is my "for best" gun and has only recently been skirmishing since it got its tightbore. I fully expect the same thing to happen to the KSC when it gets as much use as the KWA did, though I am trying to be lighter on the trigger than I used to be.

     

    By the way, it seems that there are tolerance problems with the 20-rd mags from KWA. So...don't buy them yet.

  3. I installed my fake Scoutlight on an SG9000 shotgun for a night of indoor CQC; the tight beam came in handy especially at longer ranges (40-60 feet). Beam alignment seemed very good with the light mounted under the barrel which was helpful since I was using it without any sights.

     

    Unfortunately, the glass lens cover was shattered at some point, either from me bumping the light on a wall or a direct hit. The light was still functioning through the star-burst so I didn't notice the damage for a while. Any suggestions for a replacement?

     

    I had my genuine scout light's glass broken by a BB a while ago. Since the unit is sealed, it's not easy to get a new lens in there. I found a cap-protector solution. I cut the middle out of a black bottle-cap from a water bottle. It's the same size as the widest part of the scout light. Put in some lexan and insulation- taped it on the end of the light. No more broken glass. Doesn't look much like an add-on.

  4. I have six magazines, and I rarely get through all of them in a given half-hour game at, say, The Mall. I think four in total would be a good number to play with, weight considerations applying. Speedball though? Not really a game for a chap with 40 round mags.

  5. Who is the UK supplier?

     

     

    Greg.

     

    KWA UK, or "Airsoft World" as they are also known! they don't have any stock of MP7s yet though. They'll have to supply something at the KSC Japan power level or so, I would think. Will be interesting to see what they do.

  6. it was my KSC with the RF nozzle. The KWA doesn't need it.

     

    I wouldn't buy the RATech one myself. I'd buy a KSC Taiwan. Put in a tightbore. That's it.

     

    If you need adjustable fps, then wait until the new NPAS comes out and we'll see if it doesn't break.

     

    Can't see the point in the heavier bolt.

     

  7. 1st shooter, that spring that comes with the NPAS is garbage, it's way too strong. When greg & I did our installations of the NPAS (mine broke after one game and RA Tech have gone silent on the matter) we found that the spring supplied with the NPAS was way too strong and kept the FPS below that of the stock gun. When we reinstalled the very light valve spring from my US version, the FPS soared.

     

    Conclusions...use a taiwan/US version valve spring and a shooters design or glock rocket valve for maximum FPS, and a combination of the above for lower. The NPAS is a bit of a disappointment and not worth the money. I reach this conclusion because mine broke almost immediately and RATech have ignored my emails about it ever since I sent them the photographic proof.
