Nailz Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Anyone dual-wielding MP9's here? I've got someone looking to trade me their package for my CA SCAR. That would give me two to run muahahaha. That said I think it may turn out to be more of a hassel than anything else. Still the same, 2 MP9s and 10 mags sounds down right evil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted January 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 I had Faramon's MP9 for a while, But dual wielding is fun right up until the point of reloading, I didn't even bother trying at a skirmish. When I sold it back to Faramon, I just replaced the mags that had gone with the deal. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mace2 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Had problems with cool down on my Mp9 yesterday. Noticeable loss of power and frosting on the ejection port/ hop cover. It was around 6 degrees and got worse as temperature dropped late in the afternoon. Managed to cope by putting mags inside shirt and either holding the receiver in between games or blowing on any visible frosting until it thawed. Not ideal though. On the plus side the falcon tightbore and new hop rubber made an already fun gun much more accurate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailz Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 TBBs are definitely the next thing I need to get for these puppies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sophomore Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Extended TBB please I would love to snipe people with my SMG hehehehe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailz Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I had Faramon's MP9 for a while, But dual wielding is fun right up until the point of reloading, Well I figure the cool thing is I have two dump pouches so I can drop the mags out without letting go of either SMG and since these mags are the same dementions I can have them loaded feed lips up so after I dump the empties, I can just slide them in until they lock, pull them up and out and send home the bolts. Obviously this would only be in the case of a oh *suitcase* moment where speed is key, the rest of the time I'll just reload both like I do when I run dual pistols.

vilerk Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I just got a KMP9R a couple of days ago, and I have to say I'm impressed. It's just as loud as my Viper M4 on CO2, and the ROF is quite high. I got it used off ebay with 2 mags. I found BBs would stack up in the barrel and roll out on full auto, and stretching the disconnector spring fixed that. The ball bearing was missing from the hop up, so I made a makeshift R-hop with a pen's rubber grip. The only thing I didn't like was the folding stock's wobble. I originally bought this to convert a KSC TMP, but it will not work without a lot of modification. Basically, everything is switchable between the two except the hammer assemblies. I thought that the lower receiver was just hollow and everything was self contained in the hammer assembly housings, but it turns out that both lower receivers have specific protrusions to accommodate the different mechanisms. The KWA charging handle does not work well in the KSC. The triggers are swappable with some small modifications. The selector systems aren't compatible, the detent positions are molded into the receiver, the TMP has 3 and the MP9 has 2. The front sight posts are also swappable, with the MP9 one being a mm taller. The KSC TMP is made with shinier ABS compared to the KWA's FRP, but the KSC has better finished metal parts. And here's a quick pic of my modernized SPP, hopefully that balances out my long rambling post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AMC1096 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Has anyone had issues with the ends of the charging handles snapping off on the ends after little use? When we received our shipment two out of eight MP9 charging handles broke when test firing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Nope, how hard are you pulling them? Mines been fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mace2 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Mine are fine too. Used it in very cold weather and also given it to young players without issue- both of which make plastic succeptable to snapping but no issues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vilerk Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Anyone else have issues with the nozzle springs snapping? It happened to two of mine so far. As in, the loops remain on the retention posts, but the rest of the spring is separated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Yep, this was a big issue when they first came out. buy some springs from EHobbyAsia called Action Spring Set for MP9(or with a name to that effect) and use a dab of suerglue on the posts (and/or add a very small groove to keep the spring in place) and you should be good to go.

vilerk Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Thanks for the advice. My gun is currently running fine on 1 nozzle spring, so when that fails, I'll get the Action set. Also, my hammer broke today, at the right axle. Teaches me not to buy used guns off of Ebay.. To fix it without access to a machinist, you'll need: -5/32 roll pin -5/32 drill bit -Cordless drill(I used a 9.6V) -3/8OD (5/32 or greater)ID nylon bushing -Preferably a vise These parts were all sourceable from a local hardware store. You basically need to drill through the center of where the axle used to be with the 5/32 drill bit, the deeper the better. Then hammer in the 5/32 roll pin, and make sure it protrudes the same length as the broken axle did. Then slip on the hammer spring, then the nylon bushing(cut to size if needed), and reinstall. That's it. I shot a couple mags already with this mod, works the same as before the hammer broke. Hopefully it doesn't break again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ollie is like a foster home for MP9's ... he raises them good xD I took my MP9 out for a skirmish a few weeks ago down the Mall .. oh god .. it was awesome, missed having this little beast for CQB.

I just baught a MP9 package and after a single freaking BB the bolt wouldn't charge back. After looking inside I see that the hammer was busted also at the right side of the pivot point. I guess this fact slipped the seller's mind when he posted the deal. I wish I would have noticed this immediately after purchasing the gun but I don't have a back yard or garage so I had to wait till I hit the field on this past Saturday to find the issue. Does KWA sell replacement parts for this or is Modding the only way to get this gun up and running? Thanks! EDIT-Airsoft Outlet NW does have a replacement hammer for $8 plus shipping. Maybe I'll just go that route though I will admit that $10 shipping on a 2 ounce part costing $8 seems quite retarded. Thanks again.

Splinky Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 To anyone who's used this gun in a game, how usable are the iron sights? I'm confident this is going to be my next airsoft purchase, and I kinda like the look of the gun better without anything on top of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Forti Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 They're pretty small but if you can get your face right down low to them they work just fine. If you wear a paintball mask or similar you might have a problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Splinky Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 As I understand it they can't be adjusted, are they well zeroed out of the box? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mace2 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 The iron sights are fine but remember it's got a barrel as short as a pistol so never going to be the most accurate. The irons are fine with the stock folded but even with just a lower mesh mask I couldn't get down to them with the stock out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailz Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I just run with a single point sling so I removed the folding stock as I didn't use it at all. "punching out" the MP9 forward to acquire sight picture makse the sights adequate for its purpose. Good hop-up I will say. I'm gonna throw in a TBB and see what benefits I can find.

ollie_ty Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 As I understand it they can't be adjusted, are they well zeroed out of the box? Why? Theyre fully adjustable. I prefer my Irons in CQB situations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Splinky Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I had read elsewhere that they were fixed, but I'm glad to know they're not. Nailz, is running without the stock a handicap in longer range engagements, or is the gun ill-suited for that anyways? Thanks for your input, I have a feeling I'll be picking one of these up soon.

Mad-Larkin Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 for anything close, i barely aim, just point and tap a shot or two. However as has been said, the barrel is so short. You could zero the sights all you want, but at range the bb's don't fly straight, you just have to spray at them and hope one hits! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yeah you're not wrong there. By putting your head in line with the sights, even if you cant quite make out the sight picture you're adjusting your sight to see the flightpath. but CQB only im afraid, I wish I could get mine more accurate for longer ranges, but short of modding the entire hop up, I doubt thats gonna happen. Unless of course KWAs newly designed hop up can be switched into older style guns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
