Corkie121 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 i've found a stie, i've got most of the gear, and now i just need a gun. i saw the KSC Mac 11 on Wolf and instantly liked it. the site says its great, as they always do, but before i consider buying it, i need the opinions of some proper airsoft players who have had experiance with the gun. Any help would b great, Thanks, Corkie Link to post Share on other sites
Hick Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 It is very fun, just make sure to lube it often and make sure you get the version with the magnesium bolt. Link to post Share on other sites
CapaciousZepher Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Well it's alright. Personally I don't dig the looks, however... There are a few problems with it, at least with the one I've used. 1 - It tends to jam quite a bit which puts you out of the action until you can fiddle with it. 2 - When it gets colder it becomes almost useless. I'm not talking about freezing temps either. But these problems my have been specific to the one I used, not to the model in general. Cheers! - CapaciousZepher Link to post Share on other sites
sadigh Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 ok - 1 - Don't buy it from Wolf 2 - if you do buy one, make sure it is the KSC version (or whichever one comes with the magnesium bolt) because it will last longer 3 - Buy some silicon lube as well for it, your going to need it 4 - Its a fine choice, the rate of fire on it is insane Link to post Share on other sites
GuzziHero Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 If its your first gas gun...dont bother. They are awfully unreliable. Even with a magnesium bolt, I cant get mine to work most of the time. They require lots of lubing and lots of cleaning. If you get a plastic bolt version, it WILL break and you will have to buy a magnesium one (WGC). It is hard to holster - the only known ways are the UTG M11 holster (and you have to take the stock off, making it prone to getting dirty inside) or the very awkward M11 shoulder sling. They dont work in cold weather due to the large size of teh gas reservoirs taking a long time to warm up. It fires from open bolt so the eject port is always open, exposing the internals to dirt. The gas feed ramp has the weakest known return spring in christendom. The magazine size WILL annoy you sooner or later. It fires too fast to be an effective suppression weapon. And dont buy from Wolf. They charge too much, dont give a monkeys once the products leave the store and dont have any idea what theyre on about. Trust me, first they sent me 2 Glock long mags by mistake, and then took 2 attempts and 2 1/2 months to get me one that worked because the valve was boogered. Link to post Share on other sites
Hick Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 It is tha KWA version with the magnesium bolt I think. Link to post Share on other sites
GuzziHero Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Mine came in a KWA box but was marked KSC under the front sling swivel. It was plastic bolt, and I bought it in November. Link to post Share on other sites
kiblets Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I would look out for a maruzen mac 11, much more reliable/fun/faster rof Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 It is tha KWA version with the magnesium bolt I think. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As you should know, the differences between KSC and KWA are, er, different in various localities. Personally, I found the M11 quite disappointing. For the fun of shooting, I'd ratherr have something like a Hi Capa or Desert Eagle. Or a revolver. Link to post Share on other sites
codename 47 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Or a revolver. second that Link to post Share on other sites
Spudgun Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I love my Mac to death, but it is a real pain in the neck to live with. It needs to be lubed to death and it's real picky about the ammo you feed it. It's the only gun I have that has its own ammo. It's not a practicle weapon as it has an insane rate of fire. However, since I'm a 'plinker' the rate of fire is a plus point. 'Grin factor 10 Mr Spock'!! Link to post Share on other sites
xufima Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I have used two different ksc M11's. The first was bought some time ago and had lots of small problems that really made it not worth the money at all. The second was bought about a month ago and is quite obviously improved upon. The newer one does shoot a bb out the top if you don't load the mag perfectly but other than that it is running great. All M11's need to be lubed very often or they will jam up. The stock is waaaay to short unless you're like 4 feet tall but it can be removed extremely easily. The thing I really like about these is that you can use them as a menacing sidearm, a main in CQB, or even a pistol during pistol games. This gun will fit into alot of different pistol holsters but that long mag will get in the way most of the time, luckily there are short mags available though. As others have said, if this is your first GBB then I wouldn't recommend it. If not then go buy it because it is super fun! Link to post Share on other sites
WillBrayJr Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Quality GBBs are just as reliable as AEGs as long as you take care of them. If you're used to taking care of firearms like I am then you shouldn't have any problems. Just treat it like the real thing. Link to post Share on other sites
flipsnip Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 The most un-ergonomic gun i own! Doesnt fit well in the hand at all! Nevertheless i love mine. As said above can be very unreliable but very satisfying when it works! Link to post Share on other sites
Corkie121 Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 thanks to everyone who's replyed. maybe i'll look around a bit more.... thanks again, Corkie Link to post Share on other sites
Billy210 Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 If you want a full-auto pistol, you might consider looking at the HFC M190 or the KSC Glock 18C / 23F. I've heard they are much more reliable and they will probably perform better too... Link to post Share on other sites
airsofter22 Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 It is a great and fun gun, make sure you lube it and use high quality bb's otherwise they fire out the ejection port. Link to post Share on other sites
