Habakure Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 KKKKKKHHHHHHHAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN!!!!! I wonder if WE would be so kind as to produce accessories for their NP5 Apache line? Maybe torch grips? It would be interesting if they did, but that would depend on wether or not, it would generate (a lot of) extra cash (for them). Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Would be interesting if they did them for a good price... Though at the minute you can get decent ones off ebay for £25 - £30. £3 more for a cree led and your laughing. Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Am I missing something, KIC is selling the "closed" mag for £27 equivalent and the "open" 45 rounder for £23... seems to make more sense to buy Taiwanese goods from a Taiwanese shop? Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 KIC FTW. Note though that they add a slight amount to the listed web prices for international orders. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 My best bet is that retailers are to blame about the crazy mag prices. It's not like they're regulated by trade laws/associations or anything. If they see the opportunity due to high demand they'll milk you all they want. Link to post Share on other sites
NightFury Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 You don't respawn, as in, you never get hit? I get hit occasionally. A few times every throughout maybe 5 games. I wouldn't say never but definitely not enough to need only a few mags. I stay in long enough to actually run through all ten mags within a day long game. I'm not trying to boast so apologize if that's what you thought earlier. I try not to rush and rely on tactics that I picked up from the police academy. I love engineering so I left the academy and pursued that instead but you never forget the training though. They really drill it into you. My best bet is that retailers are to blame about the crazy mag prices. It's not like they're regulated by trade laws/associations or anything. If they see the opportunity due to high demand they'll milk you all they want. This is most likely what's happening. Maybe we should play their game too. Buy only from KIC and avoid MP5 stuff from other sites. Work at it for a month or two and we can convince the other stores to lower. Then again KIC might try to raise prices once we start buying.

DeltaZero Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Wow. You're practically SOF with all that training. Impressive, I don't see how you get shot at all! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to post Share on other sites
NightFury Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 It's not just because of my own training. My team is comprised of guys I was in the academy with. They're are every part the reason why I rarely need to respawn. You're only as good as the man next to you. Being able to trust the man next to you is all that matters in combat. And I take my share of hits by taking the hit for my teammates if I see an enemy they don't see. Anyways, this isn't what this thread is about and we've digressed enough. I would like mags to be cheaper for the mp5. WE can't just shift from their practice. Make it cheap and make a lot. That's why so many of us buy WE. Even the MP5 is about 400 USD. Their billet steel SVD is 440 USD is comprised of much more material than the MP5. Unless the MP5 SD is just amazing without aftermarket parts, I don't see the justified price. ROF needs to be similar to real steel as well. Granted their M4s are quite nice, but from the looks of it, the MP5 has a stronger recoil, which I find attractive. Anywho, WE needs to be cheap and plentiful since most of us modify our guns with aftermarket stuff anyways. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Their MP5 does not have stronger recoil than their M4. Also it's quite a bit more complicated internally and externally than the SVD so volume of material doesn't come out right to gauge cost. Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Yeah, don't judge cost by the size of the item. With that reasoning, a diamond ring should be cheaper than a Casio digital watch. Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Because it is the only one worth buying.... Dont like the price dont buy it. Buy $58 aint bad at all. The VFC mags are priced the same and built worse. Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I placed an order with KIC last night for a MP5K PDW and 5 open slot mags. I spent ages staring at the VFC version on WGC and the WE one on KIC.. but with the news of WE A3 supposedly coming out late August, which I'm very likely to get, I'd rather have mags already for a gun that I know will work. The VFC one really does seem to look so much better.... I'm hoping it's just KIC's dodgy pictures but it's not just the mag curve, something else seem to be different as well and I can't quite pin down what it is, worst comes to worst I'll buy the VFC barrel and stock kit and somehow mod it to fit the WE, that should hopefully solve my neurosis a little.

bankz5152 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Of course the VFC will look better thats what excell at, but thats it. Link to post Share on other sites
NightFury Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Hey don't get me wrong now. Sure I may not like the price but as long as it's a good performer, I'm all in. All because someone doesn't like the price doesn't mean they won't buy it anyways. That argument always seems to annoy me. It's like saying people don't like spending money so they just shouldn't buy anything. In fact people spend money regardless, whether they enjoy the pricing or not. An item like this is too hard to pass up especially with the sliding stock SDs coming out late summer or in the fall. All that means is that I need to be mindful of my spending so when the time comes, I can scoop one up and have a field day with it. Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Well i think NightFury just won the thread. Perfect really. Question is should I sell my KWA MP7 which I love for the MP5? Link to post Share on other sites
kilo_64 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Well i think NightFury just won the thread. Perfect really. Question is should I sell my KWA MP7 which I love for the MP5? Do it bankz. Think about the sd6 Link to post Share on other sites
NightFury Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Well i think NightFury just won the thread. Perfect really. Question is should I sell my KWA MP7 which I love for the MP5? Haha. A few minutes after I got through selling my MP7 I see this. I'd say there's going to be quite a few of us selling off our MP7s then. After playing with my MP7 for a few months, I seem more fond of my MP5 even though it's an AEG. Something about it just feels right in my hands. Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Indeed. Ive got my Kriss which I absolutley LOVE since I got that the MP7 has taken a side seat... Though it is awesome... Ahhh airsoft worries! Link to post Share on other sites
NightFury Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I have yet to pick up a Kriss yet. Spare mags are 32 USD if you buy the clone version. I hear they work great. Well, you know what that means, I need to pick up a Kriss and an MP5. And there goes my tax return. Worth it? I'll see. Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Okay, WE MP5K PDW + 5 Mags (45 rounders) officially on its way, hopefully be getting it in 2-3 weeks. Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Woooo! Could wait for the A3? lol With this new WE Europe im interested to see if it will work out better buying from them/their supplier. Especially with this new 1 year warrenty they are offering and new Euro spec nozzles for max 350fps... Might still buy the mags from HK though coul be cheaper. EDIT - Yes it is cheaper, quick look on Tokyo Model Company - Closed Front Mags - £165.00 Shipped via Airmail so should avoid taxes/VAT Milspec Solutions - Closed Front Mags - £210.00 Shipped TMC - Open Mags - £145.00 Milspec - £170.00 Saves £50 even if it does get stung for the full 20% VAT & Parcel Farce charge it comes out at £210.00...

blobface Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I'll get the A3 as well Hence the brand choice, already have a Surefire handguard waiting! (I've had it for close to 2 years now, just never had a gun to put it on until the A3 announcement), as to why get the PDW now... err, dunno, always thought it looked really cool as a PDW especially with a T1 (and no FH/muzzle, so it's flush with the foregrip), might as well stock up on mags now for the A3 too... I really do still wish a 3rd party company release some "better look" magazines... Link to post Share on other sites
faramon Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Is this the KIC website / does it come in an English version for people like me ... (or am I being thick and there is a translate button I missed). http://www.kicbbgun.com.tw/shop/ Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 That is it yes and nope no english version. Easiest way to make international orders is to email their international sales person. Shes really helpful and speaks good English so you wont have a problem! Chrome sometimes translates the webpage but most of the time doesn't! Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 They have no English site. Just e-mail kicbbgun@gmail.com and they will get back to you with a quote. Link to post Share on other sites
