Tank, is that the NS2 version? (for that matter, is there a non NS2 version?)

No problems with the feed ramp or loading nozzle and no real wear on the slide where the slide locks? These were the main issues I saw all over the KWA forums with members not being able to find good solutions either through after market parts or good maintence.

These were the main issues I saw all over the KWA forums with members not being able to find good solutions either through after market parts or good maintence. Like I said, I don't have a ton of rounds through it, but I haven't even really babied it on the maintenance front and I've had no issues in performance or functionality. Also, it would be whatever is their latest gas technology, it is pretty much their most recent GBB gun release.

My HK45 has a little more than 1000 rounds through it, and the feed ramp, loading nozzle, and slide lock are all in good shape. Again, 1000 isn't very much, but I haven't babied it either. The only issue with mine is that the hop-up is a little numb. It works very well, but the range of pressure it puts on a bb is relatively small. It shoots best with .28s. And, like Tank said before, gas efficiency is amazing. I can usually get 50+ good cycles out of one fill.

Here's what I got...
~10x spring pistols for collecting dust and prosperity.
R Hopped TM Socom 16 for collecting dust while looking badass.
TM P90 RD for the fiancé (aka collecting dust)
A&K M249 Para for giving me something to repair indefinitely.
2x WE MEU Socoms for the rare occasion that I play indoors.
Custom G&P CQB Patriot-ish M4 for shooting from within the MiA-Team truck and for loaning to friends.
KWA M4 Frankengun which I use at every game and has gone through so much abuse it's insane. Including but not limited to sand, full water submersion, and an electrical fire.
I have this many because I'm too lazy to sell the ones I don't use.
Sent from my XT1080 using proboards

Well figured I would chime in now that my collection has grown recently since only having 2 AEGs over the last year or two. Although it's no where near the size of many people's on here. I'm definitely at a point now in my life in my "airsoft career" where I feel that I've owned enough guns over the years to know what I want, so I plan on keeping what I buy now for the long haul. G&P Defender: Bought this gun after selling my Polar Star back in the summer of 2012. It's a fully upgraded MK18 Mod 1 basically that I bought from an airsoft tech down in Tennessee. It's my primary that I use most of the time that I play airsoft. Star FNC: Bought this in the spring of 2011 and it's been my secondary. Lightly upgraded with a Prometheus EG that's been R-hopped by Jonezy, prommy soft bucking. Currently my farthest shooting gun. Tokyo Marui MP5 Bought this in November from a team mate. Currently my primary CQB gun. Came with a bunch of front ends, stocks, and magazines. Shoots very well for CQB. Tokyo Marui P90 TR Just bought this on Ebay today actually. I actually bought one new back in 2008 when I got back into the hobby and it's been one of my favorite airsoft guns that I regretted selling so I just bought another one and plan on using it from time to time but plan on holding on to since the one I just bought was basically N.I.B. KWA M9 (NS1) PTP Currently my primary sidearm, although I'm looking to replace it with a M&P 9 eventually since I currently own a real one. UTG Tri-shot I bought it like 3 or 4 years ago and it's seriously one of my favorite guns. I love using it in CQB. Just a fun gun to shoot and is surprisingly effective in CQB.

SkyPilot's arsenal in order of preference: 1. KJW M700, 7 - 10 round mags, 1 - extended 30 round, Madbull tight bore barrel. - Oh yeah, this has been my pride and joy. This rifle has stood up against the best of them, held it's ground and has made the 150+ yard shots. With only a $40 modification, switching to the Madbull tightbore barrel, this rifle has served me well, especially at a very low cost of ownership. Inital purchase $200, Mags @ $20 each * 6 = $120, extended mag @ $30, tight bore barrel @ $40, and finally replacement springs 5 each @ $2 = $10. A total cost of ownership at approximately $400. ***Never for sale!2. Marushin M500SSB - totally stock. This shotgun puts fear into your opponent, 3 - 8mm rounds fire at once. There's not dodging this bad boy! Only one fear I have with this, and that's someone else with the same shotty. Cost.. I don't remember.. better that way. 3. M4 GBB - Frankly I don't remember the brand. It was one of the first GBBR's on the market. I have 6 or 8 mags for it. I love the feel of this, and the feel when it fires. Perhpas the more I use this, the more it will move up on my chart. 4. Tanaka Works Bunker Buster - fires 3 - 6mm at once. This is a one shot ditch effort. Not very effective, unless you know how to properly use it, either way, this is the best fun gadget I have. It's always equipped to my rig, I would rather carry this over my 1911 or M9. How I came across this antique is a story within itself. 5. Bell EG723, 3 extra mags. Yeah it's cheap, and so was the price. I keep fixing this nearly all the time. I think it's fixed to the point that it will no longer break. Speaking of, I still need some parts or craft a few for myself. hmm... 3D printing time! 6. M9 - I don't remember the brand. This was my first airsoft purchase. I have 2 extra mags. The side arm is buried deep in my bin of airsoft junk. Personally it's too big, and I rather have the 1911. 7. Echo 1 MP5, 2 - 30 rnd mags. Only used this a few times. It was okay. It's a personal opinion, but I prefer the others above. Reason for so many guns??? Because each gun has a different purpose. The KJW M700 isn't a CQB weapon, and the shotty isn't an assult rifle, the assualt rifle doesn't have the range the KJW M700 does. I think the reasons are clear in this case, other people just like to have a lot of stuff.

Perhpas the more I use this, the more it will move up my chart skypilot, I'm pretty certain it's an AGM M4 GBBR that you bought off of me the day you hosted the Michigan Big Game East vs West at Future Ball. Like you said it was the first clone GBBR to hit the market. Unless you've acquired another one. I remember because that was the first MILSIM event I was a CO at.. :-)

It occurs to me that almost all of my guns were impulse buys. But since I'm cheap, they aren't particularly impressive ones.
JG Krebs - Of course I start the list with my most impressive of toys. Systema tightbore, Pro-Win hopup. 470FPS at 14RPS. People are always incredulous when I talk about this thing because of how accurate it is. I rarely have fielded it because of how hot it shoots and how heavy it is (8.8lbs with an empty waffle mag and a foregrip tossed on, and that's without the rail covers). Some day I'll actually measure out some distances and get picture proof of its laserbeam death vision. Even with just the iron sights it's absurd, though I got a cheap 4x .22 scope for it I'll put on if I ever remember to find the right sized rings. It used to be joked I should pump this thing above my head while running up hills to buff out my twig-like physique. (Mostly an impulse purchase)
JG G36c - (Or K36 or whatever they call it now) It's stock. Was my first AEG. Always meant to upgrade it with at least a tightbore, but I keep putting money into other things. 360FPS at 12RPS, but I'm starting to try arching and spraying to hit a body-sized target past 100'. There's really not much to say about it, which bums me out with how many great days out on the fields that gun and I have had.
TM AUG - After finally getting an idea of what I wanted to do in airsoft, learning about internals, and so forth, I decided I wanted to start hitting up a lot more indoor games so I'd have a better chance of playing year-round. While my G36 is rather short as-is, and with a folding stock is nice and compact, it gets heavy and I've always loved bullpups. So I bought this off a friend stock. Put a 363mm 6.03mm Madbull barrel in, got a silencer adapter and a flash hider, and ta-da, it's 6" shorter now. I only finally fielded it this past weekend, and realized there was something up with it. What with it chrono'ing in at 54 to 209FPS. Turns out the air nozzle has about 1/3 cracked off it. So it's creatively repaired with some plastic straw and teflon tape until I need to put in another order somewhere; part's not worth the shipping by its self. (Mostly an impulse purchase)
HFC M190 - Had this thing for almost as long as the G36. The outer barrel was replaced with a bare metal one, which I've always thought looked great. The safety doesn't work at all anymore, the full-auto works sporadically at best (one of the two springs on either side of the hopup decided to crunch its self up and get jammed in the slide one day; the other one didn't look any too good last I looked either), and both my mags bleed gas like crazy. I think it's just the o-ring in the fill valves. And it barely takes any pressure on the mag release to drop out the magazine, which has led me to carrying it inside a closed pouch on my LBV for fear of dropping one somewhere. But I mean aside from that it's always worked great. And that's all of probably $20 in parts and a little labor or direction to fix everything. (Mix of impulse and it being my cheaper option for a sidearm).
2x WE Baby Hi-Capa 3.8 (Type 6) - Okay so they're sitting in the customs office in Hong Kong. But I wanted a pair of these pretty much since I got into airsoft. At the time a new college student of 18, $90 for one of the pistols I wanted and just one mag couldn't beat $80 for a pistol I thought was pretty sweet plus a second mag from an MiA member. (Wanted to convert some bitcoins to USD as I watched the market keep ticking down on them. I regret nothing.)
Then there's the stuff I just don't talk about. The mighty "THE FOREIGN LEGION'S FAMAS" springer from Dick's, and the wonderfully plastic rat-flail also from Dick's. Had to start shooting cardboard targets propped against the garage door so I had some sort of believable excuse why I own these things.
