For WE/HK3P Glocks, the "Gen 3" "Gen 4" thing is not for newer/older version of airsoft gun produced by WE. The "Gen 3" "Gen 4" thing means they resembles the looking of real steel Glock Gen 3 or Gen 4. Both "Gen 3" and "Gen 4" by WE will have newer and older versions.
There are currently few noticeable changes from the earliest versions, that I know of. There are probably more changes and/or versions that I don't know (input would be appreciated). The following changes occoured on both "Gen 3" and "Gen 4".
Earliest version: The outer barrel have straight angle to the chamber, rather than the curved transition on later version. This version is very old and I am not sure if there is any in Canada. Have the outer barrel breaking issue.
Mid-ish version: The outer barrel now have curved transition between barrel and the chamber, less likely to have outer barrel broken.
Later-ish version: Improved furnishing on the slide, the ejector is now a separate piece rather than on the slide. (like the guarder slides).
