I got the KSC MP7 in my grubby grease-stained hands this past Sunday and gave it a little shake down. Just a couple of mags and just a touch more than a field strip.

I am very impressed. The plastic molding, thickness and accuracy of fit between parts is excellent. It's basically a pistol jammed into a SMG/PDW format...and shoots just like a good pistol. Controls are positive and feel good...the levers don't feel like they're going to fall off or bend/break. It's a solid piece.

I took the nozzle assembly apart so I could send some photos off to a friend to find spare parts. I want to run propane through this but don't want to risk blowing the nozzle until I have some spares on hand. I ran duster with an AI adaptor. Functioning was stellar...FPS was a bit low but fine for CQB.

In my search for a couple of nozzles I called KWA USA and spoke to one of their guys. He was a bit of prick about things and very tight-lipped about any reference to KSC. His official line (and he was quite good at sticking to it) was (paraphrased a bit), "I am supposed to say that KWA parts may not work with KSC items because some things undergo redesign and modification. KSC builds their guns to work with [duster] and ours for Green Gas". He noted that the KWA MP7 is rated for 380+fps while the KSC is rated for 300. He also said that I'd be best off contacting an overseas KSC dealer to get a nozzle.

But we know that a lot of KSC/KWA parts are interchangeable...can't say about all of them though.

So far as I've seen from the KWA pistols and rifles...they're very nicely built. The issue that I'd say in "general" is that their pistols are setup to shoot TOO hot. For some models they'll exceed indoor CQB limits. There's a couple of trends where they eventually self desctruct (the M9 model was notorious for that I believe).

So what's the difference...don't know. Maybe I'll have to get a KWA MP7 to find out....
