yes i own both the KWA ATP models and i can honestly say that both are very good but the full auto is a plus. and very low maintenance if you clean very well after use. also lube well before use

Now this is my opinion and my experience with KWA. There guns are crap plain and simple. Had a kwa atp and it sucked no power at all. Owned quite a few aeg's and a lot of gbb's. from the timberwolf to the 1911's from WE. I still have 2 WE 1911's and a KJW Sig 229. If you want a glock look alike get the WE version. I also have a KWA 1911DS which I can't use anymore because they don't make the gun anymore and in turn don't make the parts for it that I need.

Don't touch it.
I like some KWA GBB guns, like my Tok, but, the atp is not one of them. Chat me up tonight haha.

i think every gun has its kinks. just because it did not work for someone else dose not mean it will not work for you.

one thing i have come to learn when it comes to anything is "don't knock it till you try it"

Buy nice, or buy twice.

If something is known to be mediocre, you can buy it and hate it, and repair/replace it, or you can buy nice once, and be done with it with no regrets.

KWAs are proprietary garbage.

Like most guns, I tried it at least once. After the second fix, I sold fast at a lost.
many other stories like mine.

SmoothOperator, take it for what its worth. But I would listen to Nukeduster and Exarach since they both know their shit on AEG'S and GBB'S.

I do have to ask how many of you with KWA pistols didn't have issues until you decided to futz with it?  I'm not saying they don't have issues, but that said, as somebody who's owned almost a dozen KWA/KSC pistols, none of them had issues until I decided to mess with it.

I know the KWA ATP first generation model was terrible and broke many times,
but I thought they fixed it after releasing generation two.

Mace, I don't screw with my guns because to tell you the truth I know nothing about them. My KWA ATP'S were crap from the get go right out of the box. So that is what I am going from. But like I said its my opinion.
