Ordering:
I purchased this gun from airsoft global, but it can be found at most overseas retailers. It should not be too long before you will be able find it in a US store. it will run you about $280-$310usd
Basic Gun Information
The WE PDW is a full metal gas blow back carbine produced by WE.
First impressions/Packaging:
The gun arrived in a plain old cardboard box. It did not even have a box of its own. The gun was wrapped carefully in bubble wrap and packing tape, but I could not help but feeling a little disappointed. (for that kind of money I expected better) non the less, it did not seem any worse for wear.
Included:
The entire package includes the gun, one full metal real cap m4 mag*, one metal internal real cap pdw mag, front and rear iron sights, a very nice flash hider , a crappy orange flash hider, manual, and a speed loader. * not all stores will include two mags.
Gun Specifications:
Weight: About 4.8 lbs
Length: 28.5" (19" with stock folded)
Width: 2.25" (at cocking handle)
Height: 7" (sights folded)
Externals:
Externally this gun is beautiful, full metal with nice trades. The gun feels very solid when shouldered. No wobble at in in the stock, which is unexpected because its foldable.
The stock release button is full metal. They must have learned some thing from the scar, so there shouldn't be a problem in that breaking.
The pistol grip seems a little bit two square in my hand, but its not noticeable uncomfortable. It also does not match the real steal guns pistol grip.
Trademarks:
WE did a very good job with the trades on this gun. It included real Knight Armament Co. trademarks.
Magazines:
The magazine is one thing that I have mixed feelings about, the fact that the pdw mag is plastic is a downer, but I think it looks better then the M4 mag. Both PDW mags and M4 mags work in this gun. (a fact I am very pleased with)
I did notice that the M4 mag seems to slide in easier then the PDW mag.
Performance:
coming soon. (Its to cold outside to test today)
Internals:
Internally the PDW is very similar to the WE SCAR. The PDW uses the same air nozzle and piston, the same hop up, and a similar trigger mech.
Being a GBB, there is really not a whole lot that you can upgrade on it internally.
Modifications:
Since it functions at such a high FPS, most users would probably want to ad the NPAS kit produced by RA-Tech so you can adjust the fps.
Pros:
Fairly cheap for a GBB
Full metal construction
Light weight
Solid
Two mags included
Cons:
Not extremely accurate
mags cost an arm and a leg
pistol grip not realistic
Overall:
I am very pleased with this gun. It has a very solid feel and yet is still light weight. Great gun for close quarters, not so great for distance. Overall I give it an 8 out of 10 rating.
