Connery Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 The only thing that'll go sproing is the rocket valve itself. Aside from that, have something handy to pull back the springs sitting atop the nozzle itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FELDJAGER Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 (edited) I got my KWA last night and im happy to report that ive fired atleast 5 full 40 round mags on full auto back to back with no problems what so ever. This gun is fun Edited October 1, 2009 by FELDJAGER Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FELDJAGER Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Please excuse the double post but i cannot for the life of me get my top takedown pin out. the bottom one comes out just fine but the top up refuses to come out more than a millimeter, even with some persuasion from a pin driver and mallet.

FELDJAGER Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 yes green gas, ive been shooting it all day with no sign of trouble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Pepper 6pk Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I got my KWA MP7 today and I went through 8 mags with my friends, no problems yet. This gun is really awesome, KWA has outdone themselves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FELDJAGER Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Ive noticed that with my mp7 if i pull the charging handle and release it slowly then pull the trigger...nothing happens. If i do it quickly or just let the bolt slam forward, it fires normally. Not necessarily a problem, but im curious if anyone else has noticed the same. Â Still no cylinder trouble Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Pepper 6pk Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Doesnt happen on mine, although one time the mag refused to seat completely in the mag well and misfeed but i think thats more the problem of not completely fillling the mag correctly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FELDJAGER Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Hmm, upon closer inspection it seems that my recoil spring doesnt have quite enough oomph to slowly close the bolt, i need a forward assist . I guess ill give everything a good cleaning and re-oiling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eskhobbs Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 (edited) Bought mine on a whim yesterday at a game, 435.00 for five mags and the gun and a free bag of G&G .25s. The gun shoot great, and is amazing in cold weather. The day started off at 52*F and the low at the end of the day was 45*F. No issues with cool down which was amazing. One problem for me is mag pouches. I'm guessing they will not fit in MP5 pouches? A friend has a P90 and his pouches were a bit too deep and had to push the MP7 mags from the bottom to be able to get a grip on them and get them out of the pouch. Any ideas?

galactica Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 I'm using Bulle double MP5 pouches from flecktarn.co.uk. They're perfect.  http://www.flecktarn.co.uk/ustmp5nx.html  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Optomis Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Skirmished my KSC aaaaand Jonathan Higg's KWA MP7 yesterday. Yes, dual wielding fun. Used strictly propane in both guns, ran Madbull .4g BB's through them both and tweaked their hopups. Handled the .4's extremely well, the range and accuracy was insanely good. Distances were around 120-150 feet. My KSC chronoed in around 390, and actually hit 420 on the very first shot on a fresh magazine that was left to bake in the sun for a half hour while conversing with others. Â Jonathan Higg's KWA came in at just around the same (385-390), didn't bother to test with a freshly warmed up magazine though. Upon ending the day the nozzle on my KSC cracked. Didn't really phase me however, the KWA nozzle will be available shortly and I was actually looking to bust my KSC cylinder for testing purposes. Took 1,228 rounds to break it, with about half of those run with UFC Green gas and the other half just straight Coleman Propane, about 800 of the rounds were shot on fully automatic. Not bad at all. I put 189 rounds through Higg's on Saturday while I was dual wielding MP7's. I think he put ~200 through his before hand. Â The range and accuracy was just on par with one another, there was hardly any difference between the two models. The only noticeable changes included the trigger pull, piston lid coloring (the KSC was green and the KWA is orange) and of course the difference in trademarks. And the fact that Higg's is still in 100% working order and mine is not.... Â To top it all off, I got more comments then I can count. I let at least 10 guys try them out and demonstrated them for another 10 or so. Compliments came rolling in every minute or so from the guy I would stack up next to on a building. I'm convinced that KWA has hit a new milestone with this weapon and I feel that if you can transplant this reliability, power, accuracy and range into any other GBB platform then it will sell like hot cakes.

aaron2310 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Unfortunately DENT is out of stock of the KSC nozzle. Â Also anyone know where to get the KWA version in the UK? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greg Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I'm using MP5 pouches, which are fine. Â **ANOTHER BROKEN BLOWBACK ALERT** Â I'm afraid that after over 2000 green gas, semi & full auto shots, my KSC MP7 has suffered the same fate as so many others. Â Pulled the trigger to get the first kill of the day (55m) very pleased as usual, leveled the sight on the next 'fish in the barrel' & bugger, bolt locked back! Â Switched to pistol & held my position for 15 mins. Â Probably looking at a 4 week wait for a replacement. Â Having spoken to the supplier, this brings the failure rate for their first batch to 30%. More concerning is the fact that they reckon the second batch is at 50%. Â Oh boy. Â Â Greg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eskhobbs Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) The Proshop should have them in soon, don't know if KWA USA ships outside of the states though. Going to talk to EdGI to see if I can get an extended tbb for the MP7 and slide a silencer over it. Then laugh at all the WA/WE/AGM users =D Anyone know where I can get the thread adapter state side?

galactica Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I'm sure Novatcombat would ship you one to the US...but they're a bit...lackadaisical...so you might have to persevere! Â If you know anyone with any machining stuff, they're not that hard to make. bit of aluminium tube and two thread dies, one inner, one outer. Â I plan to do exactly as you do with my KWA Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eskhobbs Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 That was one of the first things I did when I got home. I tried the thread adapter from my lipo TM MP7, but opposite threads I was suprised how well it held up in the cold, everytime the mag locked back on the last shot and still had enough gas for another full mag of BBs.

aaron2310 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 And when people find them, do post up some links to KWA spares. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duckling Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Just a quick heads up. Just as you manage to get a new cylinder, don't try the Mp7A1 on redgas. Â ... I feel like hitting my self. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
galactica Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 (edited) The KWA pro shop page for spares has been put up, but there's no content yet. Allizard tells me there'll be spares in a week or two. I'm pretty confident that cylinder will be better - no news of any breakages in the US yet.

Umarex have not been any help in europe, so if these Americans can get it right, they got my vote. Â Â BTW: the "KSC Taiwan" version is out. Same real trades as the "Japan" version, so not the strange Umarex stuf. Only change is the ingraved JASG serial is changed to what looks like a laser job. Price is just around 290$US. at the moment i HongKong, but I guest it to get down to the 250$ as the KWA version in the states.
