Same. I also replaced my motor plate (and grip) with a magpul.

G&P imo is the best for m4's, it's what there specialized in, they also make lmg's

After owning several KWA AEG's and not really liking any of them, I'd say go G&P if possible, or a VFC E series if you can.

Between KWA and CA, I'll always recommend the CA. There are many more little finicky issues with the KWA than with a CA.

yes, but to a certain extent. I honestly see absolutely no plus in going LiPO, except for a huge decrease in space consumption. EI would go LiPO only if I were using hi torque parts or some way to slow the thing down, because I honestly hate using something that fires any more than 900 RPM.

There really is no reason to have more than a 900RPM. If i am right, correct me if i am wrong the MP5 goes at 900RPM.

The people in my old area were in some ROF war; i.e. they were seeing how fast they could empty a highcap. You can imagine how dumb the games got when people just started camping and emptying highcap after highcap at eachother.

That sounds quite hilarious, but extremely stupid.

And yes Nikan, I am 95% certain you are correct.I prefer my replicas to fire somewhere in that range, so I think tons of high torque parts would be in order with a Lipo, and an M120/equivalent.

Ok, I'll admit. I work in airsoft retail. I see a lot of guns, many brands.

I see a lot more KWA guns with trigger switch issues. Sometimes it's semi-auto that doesn't work, sometimes it's something else. Sometimes easy fix, sometimes not. True, on the new ones I haven't seen that issue near as much.

I've seen more KWAs break gears from getting a jam than from other MGFs. True, this may be because all the new kids are hearing 'KWA is the AEG Messiah', and then they buy them and use cheap BBs 'cause they're kids.

Really, on the new line, not many probelms. However, they're still not aftermarket compatible. The Madbull barrel nuts won't fit perfectly. Good luck on fitting another metal body easily. Aftermarket flashhiders may need modification. Hop-up unit? Not happening.

Again, KWA makes great guns. Their new line is very good, with good performance. However, it's not a gun you're gonna have an easy time customizing. For that reason, CA gets my vote.

I can see that and I have to agree with Adam. Personally, I am really liking the new M15 X series. At first they were annoying to disassemble, but they are really nice externally, have trades (woohoo.) and have some neat features I haven't seen done extremely well by a lot of manufacturers.
