Most Airsoft retailers in-country offer the KWA version (this is the same basic company as KSC except they are located in Taiwan, and sell strictly for the US market). The KWA gun lacks the fine finish detail found on the KSC guns. However, operationally speaking, they are fine performers. So if you don't care whether the pistol has a Glock or Cobray logo, then by all means... There are a few retailers in-country that still offer unadulterated KSC weapons, but they are few and far between. And, as I'm sure Chase would substantiate, the Customs service is becoming more and more strict with regards to how imports are handled now. As far as the versions available for the Glock is concerned. I would ask any supplier you planned on doing business with, regardless of which country they were from. Most suppliers (Redwolf included) only offer version 2 now. I obtained my Glock 18C (full trademarks, logo's and no orange) from Airsoft Extreme in California. It took 3 days to get to me. Sure I paid a little more for it, but I got exactly what I wanted and expected. To me, the little extra is worth not having to worry about the hassles. Just my opinion.

By the way, Airsoft Extreme is not carrying the KSC Glock 18C anymore. I was not given a reason why. Redwolf has a limited quantity on hand. I don't know where Chase (FullAuto) stands as far as stock on the 18C or the M11. Ebay has tons of the KWA version of the M11 up for auction. I only saw 1 KWA Glock 18C on Ebay.

Just a quick reply to both questions... If you look at the Redwolf site under GBB's/KSC, they have a column which indicates the best type of gas to use. They have done a lot of research on this matter and their opinion holds credible value to me. Also, I personally own two KSC GBB's. A Glock 18 and an M11. I use green gas (roughly equivalent to HFc22) in both of them with no ill effects. I'm not sure about the G19 though. Metal slides add good weight to the gun and make a nice metallic sound when you rack it, but the loss in cyclic ROF doesn't justify the expense (IMHO). HFc134a would cycle a metal slide fine, however the loss in energy and ROF would probably be detrimental on the battlefield. And, let's face it. Sure we want to look good out there. But where the rubber meets the road is in firepower. I have tried both HFc22 and HFc134a in my Glock 18 (totally stock mind you), and the cyclic did not change noticably. What I did notice however, was range and power (joules or velocity). So for me, I keep my KSC's stock (just the way they came from the factory), and fill'em with green gas, and heaven help the poor bas@#$d who gets in the way. Just my opinion though.

The gun looked to be an all metal version. It sports real steel Hogue grip panels. In the picture with the slide open, you can see what looks to be a stainless steel nozzle. If this is a stock weapon (maybe a limited edition or something), it's still going to be more expensive than the standard garden variety KJW gun. It has a great "tactical" look to it. I'm not sure if KJW has a web site, but it might behoove someone to get some more information. Heck, maybe I'll visit the site and see for myself.

I don't know where to get it, but when you find out... I want one!
(I only hope they don't utilize that piece of crap "magna" blowback system the Hk Tactical uses. I have nothing but trouble with those mags). Keep us informed. It looks pretty cool.

Unfortunately, it's extremely difficult to control the velocities of the BB's with a powder driven device like this. Some BB's may just pop out at around 100 to 400 fps, while most will probably zing out around 600 to 800 or more (fps). Of course, this is largely dependent on the size of the actuating charge and the strength of the frangible shell (body). Needless to say, those velocities could put a serious hurt on you or your opponant. I sympathize with you though. A good grenade can really add some excitement to the party.

Well, it sounds to me like there's gonna be a run on M11's here real soon. Chase better stock up on those little babies. I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. I'm not sure who carries the suppressors that fit it anymore. I got mine from a guy on ebay who was selling out. I know Redwolf has them, and maybe Airsoft Extreme. Give Chase a chance to see if he can get a good deal on some. The Tanio Koba at Redwolf goes for about $75 plus shipping. I think the ANGS goes for about $60. Anyway, the M11 makes an awesome CQB tool. It sounds totally incredible in an empty warehouse too! We gotta find us a playground for CQB!!!

So tell me Nick... How did you like the M11? There was another young player out there on Saturday that broke his MP5 on the first game, and borrowed the M11 for the rest of the day. He really seemed to enjoy it. Tell me what your true impressions were.

Either moniker is fine (Curtis or TheRev). And after you try the KSC M11, you may just decide that AEG's are a little too tame. But watch out! These things are gas and BB hogs. I've learned that short, controlled bursts preserve accuracy and ammo. However, that being said, I must add that letting loose with the full auto is definitely an experience. I've had the opportunity to fire the real steel counterpart to this gun, and with the exception of felt recoil, the suppressed GBB sounds almost exactly like the suppressed real version.
And it's a true bullet hose. I think you'll like it.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Sure Nick, I'll bring it to the Dec. 1st game. I'm also bringing the 93R to the game as well. I owe Mike M. $20 for a charged battery. If you still have some of those standard M4/M16 Mags, bring 'em along and we'll work a deal for the 93R. If you want to call me, you can reach me at (602)222-5338 M-F, 8am to 4pm. Keep yer powder dry!

I know I'm a little late in posting a reply to this topic, but I have some experience with these weapons. I am a past owner of a Maruzen Micro Uzi and a WA M11. I am a current owner of the KSC M11. While I do not speak as an authority on the inner workings of any of these guns, I can say with assurance that my preference is definitely the KSC. The Maruzen Micro Uzi was way too plasticy looking and did not (in my humble opinion) make efficient use of the gas in the magazine. It seemed to run out after only 1 to 2 mag loads. Also, there was a noticable lag in power after a long burst of full auto. The Western Arms M11 seemed to suffer the same problems with the exception that it looked better than the Uzi. On the other hand, the KSC version has never given me a hic-up (even after 4000 rds). It digested everything I've ever fed it (including paintballs). It keeps it's high ROF without the lagging effect of freon fade. And it sounds incredible to boot. I've got a Tanio Koba two stage suppressor the really cuts the noise level down as well. For GBB sub guns, the KSC has my vote. Now, as far as the new Maruzen MP5K is concerned, if Maruzen has cured the plasticy problem and gone with something more akin to the TM look, that will be a plus. However, if the performance is closer to the Uzi, then I'd say save your money. Anyway, thats just one man's opinion. Take it or leave it.

Thanks for visiting Lee. I visited your site. Quite impressive. Welcome to Airsoft Arizona. Interestingly enough, I couldn't think of a more antithetical comparison of play than Alaska and Arizona. It's like two polar opposites. However, even with the snow, we can typically play year round. And during the brutally hot summer months, we just go to the mountains. Anyway, stop by often and let us know whats happening in your neck of the woods.
