I'm getting reallllly sick of these threads. Toyko maybe its about time you & your people (more likely your people since you're always busy babysitting this board) made a thread about all these cansoft kwa/kjw/other brands.....
I refuse to even touch those things. Otherwise I'd do it myself.

WA's are totally awesome - they feel good, look good, and perform good. Seems like the OP likes the USP more anyway, so I'm thinking M9's might not be an issue of concern.
If you're so sick of these threads, why are you reading them? Suck it up and read T7's reply - the OP is NOT from Canada, thus no Cansoft for gero. KWA and KJW are relatively easy to acquire in the States, no? Therefore, that's no big surprise that those two are being asked about here?

Not entirely true - I got a LNIB TM Glock 17 myself with something under 100 shots fired through it... trigger bar bent about two mags later, meaning that the slide would get stuck and everything would be locked up. Completely un-gameable condition for weeks. Happens on only a few TM Glocks, but there is a Guarder part that fits/functions perfectly and is relatively easy to install. I haven't seen this yet - but the plastic mag catch that TM provides could potentially be a failure point? In other words, I wouldn't go as far as to say that "it won't fail, simple as that", as it isn't actually that simple.
Sorry, I hope you don't take that personally, I'm just sort of trying to state this to the OP: no GBB make or model is perfect. Each has it's own strengths and weaknesses (some more than others); the better ones tend to be more expensive (thus is airsoft, eh?). Going with something that has lots of replacement/aftermarket parts makes getting an awesome GBB easier than something that doesn't have very many aftermarket parts. Makes - and models too - that are inherently better in some aspects (TM vs KSC hop up design: H-hop vs ball bearing, H-hop being better just because of the design) should be thought about carefully (TM vs KSC finish: TM plastics tend to be more durable, but also tend to look/feel more toyish) before you make a choice... then again, you could just go try out a whole wackload of guns and see if you like any of them. Ooooh, an excuse to go to a game - I like! (Except for my feet... they don't like this, since they're already complaining after day 1 of a double-header weekend, lol)
