TheFull9 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 What exactly is the deal with the PDW specific mags GHK is kicking out? Are standard WA compatible mags not as efficient when used with this particular variant of WA's system? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 is it just a look thing? WE's PDW mags were just their regular with different shell right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Nope, definitely not aesthetics, they look just the same. The top surface area that interacts with the nozzle looks to be slightly different, but even though I can see there is a difference, I can't for the life of me figure out what said difference actually is.

3vi1-D4n Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 is it just a look thing? WE's PDW mags were just their regular with different shell right? Â Nope the WE M4 mags vs WE PDW mags are internally very different. M4's BB space is casted into the internal shell along with its gas reservoir, while the PDW's BB space is actually molded into the plastic outer shell. The internal shell is only its gas reservoir. Â Its more a WE PDW discussion than should be in the GHK thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

veratek Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 I wanted the ghk pdw as my first gbbr for a loong time now, and i keep hearing more faults about the WE. Â The fact that the GHK doesn't have a proper hop-up is not a plus for me, how long is the design going to hold up before needing replacement? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jotohomomoto Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 I for one was reallly disappointed with the WE PDW (just sold it) but I love the idea of the KAC PDW, so I'm still open to the idea. Does anyone know if "PDW" mags are coming out for hte GHK? I've seen those cooldown videos and this gun looks WAYYY better than the WE... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plastik Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 ^may I ask why you we're disappointed with the WE PDW? I'm looking to pick one up but can't decide between the GHK or the WE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Donut Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I personally like GHK a lot better than WE, I had the choice, and after firing both, the GHK is definitely a cut higher in terms of recoil and noise, it kicks hard, and is also very LOUD. Â One thing I did notice when firing is that the gun like the spew gas out from the front when firing extended full auto, not much, but enough to make it look awesome, like the barrel's very heated. Â No news about the PDW mags yet, but I'd imagine they would come out with them later. Though I personally prefer STANAG mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jotohomomoto Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 (edited) ^may I ask why you we're disappointed with the WE PDW? I'm looking to pick one up but can't decide between the GHK or the WE. Well, I bought a lemon. The PDW didn't work right from the first shot. It was an aesthetically beautiful gun but the bolt locked back after every other shot. I was never able to skirmish the gun and eventually abandoned all hope and sold it. The person who bought it said some parts were missing and there was considerable wear on the hammer from that. Get the GHK!!! WE's QC is really not that good from my other experience with their pistols as well. I haven't completely lost hope in WE because they seem to be trying and their guns are priced competively.

plastik Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 thanks guys. looks like i'll be ordering the GHK with some prowin mags. I was checking it out at ehobbyasia and they list it at being "version 3". any ideas what that means? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Donut Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 It's basically corrected externals with updated internals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfishsalesco Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 This is much too tempting! Anyone got a chrono reading for it on GG with a .2? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j.califf556 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Where did you purchase from? How did they cover the Trades? Did it come with both the orange and steel muzzles? How long did shipping take? Thanks. Awsome weapon BTW. Can't wait to get one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plastik Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I've decided I'm going to order a GHK this weekend. I plan on buying some extra mags too. Any advice on which ones to get? I've had some bad experiences on my WOC with bomber mags leaking at their fill valves, g&p leaking at their main valves and GHK destroying nozzles and being super tight in the magwell? I assume GHK mags should work with no probs since it is their gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Donut Posted August 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I've got 4 GHK mags, all of them work perfectly. Two of them originally had issues staying in the mag well. The magazine shell wasn't giving enough grip to the mag catch, but a little prying with a flat screw driver and 3 seconds later it's all fixed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j.califf556 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 do you think a magpul BAD lever would fit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GrenadierMasada Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 So i havent found much in ways of the GHK PDW and its reputation or problems. Im assuming its pretty flawless since no ones posting about it, or that no one even cares to buy any. Does anyone have any info regarding breakdowns, reliability? Â Ive looked on this Forum, AirsoftForum and Gasguns.info and neither has much. . whats the deal? I'll still keep looking but im waiting for more info to pop up, bc the WE PDW has SOOOO much issues im not even considering it anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Donut Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 The only problem I've had with mine is that the kick is too hard :/ The recoil rattles my barrel screw loose in a couple mags, I've since used locktite and fixed the problem. Other than that, I can't really complain, while people do whine about the fixed hopup, it is set well,you can use .2 with a little overhop, or use .25g for a straighter path. The range is decent, a little behind high quality aeg bucking/barrel of equal power, but considering it's a PDW I won't ask for much more. It is a blast to use in cqc or as a backup.

Thanks for the Info, i really cant find much on it. IDK what the deal is. Â So is yours a verion.3 i thought that theres a hopunit on it? Are the internals upgradeable? I only see the Bolt Carrier from RATECH, nothing else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Donut Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) I think there's just not many people with it, plus it's being overshadowed by the WE counterparts. There is a hopup, but it's fixed, apparently GHK wanted more stability and opted with a simple fixed hopup over an adjustable one with many parts. There is enough space for an adjustable hopup if they wanted to, maybe another company will make aftermarket ones? Â As far as upgrades go, that might be the only thing right now, when I got it there were no upgrades available. Though I don't think any upgrades are necessary right now, I've put over 30 mags through mine already and everything is still working fine.

Â Â I see that your GHKPDW is a Ver.2 Â I know there is a Ver.3 available now since you bought yours, not sure if the Ver.3 Hopunit is fixed or not. I think im gonna jump on buying a GHK PDW, screw the WE-Tech. I've read SO many posts about issues of them not working properly even with the RATECH parts installed. I don't care much about looks, more reliability AND i know that since its first inception, the GHK MUST be lot better in terms of the finish. All those issues, and the fact that GHK Mags come with a whopping +10 rounds per. . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DesertFox Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) Is the GHK KAC PDW based on the wa m4 gbb system? Or is it their own system? I'm wondering cause from what I can tell it uses WA mags. Â I'd love a gbb kac pdw, but both the WE & WA gbb systems scare me. So any guns based on those two systems will eventually carry with them the flaws of each system. Edited September 8, 2010 by DesertFox Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ahadsz Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 hey, I saw the version 3 of this thing it is sick, and its supposedly compatible innerbarrel and hop-up with aeg? What barrel/bucking do you guys suggest? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew12 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 To be honest, I thought about picking one of these up for a CQB gun, but between this, and something like a KWA MP7 or MP9, the GBB SMG seems like a much better option. They are made better and mags are usually cheaper. That, and the ROF is incredibly high.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
