KJW m4 gbb worth it?

[benja]

Hi, I have had many horrible experiences with AEGs in the past, so I am looking for an alternative, which would be a gbb. Is the KJW gbb a reliable gun, and worth the 500$? Thanks.

[Thenooblord]

in short? yes
in long? yes, and buy the cradle upgrades (google is your friend)

If you got problem with AEGs, GBBR can't acctually cure your headache, AEGs are more reliable than GBBR at this moment as GBBR mags is a major issue.

If TM made a GBBR, I would so hop onto it. As their pistol gas mags up to date are the best out there.

Koba designed TM system...

Koba designed the KJ

I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND http://007airsoft.com/products/htm/aeg-src-g36.htm. If something goes wrong Ken will look after you =) He is a great guy to deal with. I would take them over a GBBR right now. But like some one said for now.

KJW is the best GBBR by far available currently, unless you buy a WA and dump $1000 to fix its terrible workings.

So, i mean...as an investment, it seems to be viable atm. In the long term? Remains to be seen. I'm certain as more airsoft companies enter the GBBR market quality will drastically increase over the next year and a "standard" will be set (hopefully getting rid of WA's "standard")

Ken's been in the business for a long time now, we are all aware that he's a stand up guy and runs a tight ship. But recommending a G36 Aeg when someone is asking about a M4 GBB is kinda off the wall.


All the reviews of the KJW say its a pretty tight system with low cost of maintenance. And there is fairly good aftermarket support for upgrade (read replacement reinforced) parts. And in terms of Mags the KJW ones have been reported to perform quiet well with proper care. And as Amos said, the mags where designed by Tanio Koba which has an excellent track record for GBB magazine longevity.

Couple this with the low cost of purchase I don't see it as being a bad purchase if that is what floats your boat.

I was not going to recommend something I have never used before (I should say owned) Yes your right off the wall is a rather good say in the matter

Also Ken has the KJW M4 on his website. If you were to but it I would buy from him.

I disagree WA mags are better

[Thenooblord]

and also cost 3x as much as TM mags

[hattrick]

uhhhh, no they don't?! (with the exception of magna [non-scw] discontinued / SD hi-capa custom mags)


They're the same price, if not cheaper in -some- cases. (standard 1911/2011/beretta)


prove me wrong - alex




*********EDIT!!!!!!***** LOL x3 as much, are we talking 100-120$ a mag?

[Thenooblord]

well I just seen WA cappa mags for $100-120 or so

ask yourself. why would you want a m4 GBBR? what are the advantage of GBBR over an AEG? obviously realism is the matter. WA magnum system is the most realistic one at this time, although expensive its worthy to save your money for it. WA system ain't that bad as some people said, just make sure your got the good aftermarket parts, also these aftermarket parts are so cheap right now, most expensive thing are the WA mags. personally, WE is absolutely off the list for they are not realistic at all; KJW M4 is acceptable, but since you want realistic feeling, why don't you just save you money for a WA GBBR? If you wanna run a GBBR just because the AEG failed on you, I suggest go find a branded well-built AEG, after all, AEG is more reliable by far.

I will consider it. Is a G&G UMG a good buy?
