1. I plan on purchasing a KWA M1614 within the next month.
2. Does anyone own one? (What's good, bad, and ugly...)
3. What magazines are compatible with them? I saw that the MAG Magazines are not compatible with KWA M4's/16's.
4. Any other suggestions (weapon wise)
I want to be able to lay back and have the DMR role as well as being able to fight semi-close quarters. I might have the spring down-graded to an M120. It might be shooting a little hard for my level of comfort. (I like a gun that lasts for a while =D)

Joe (Arthenious/Bear) has one. From what I've seen it's a pretty awesome gun. Only complaints I've read about are about the hop-up not being so great. Where did you read that MAG mags aren't compatible? If they're TM compatible then they should work in the KWA. I'm sure Joe could tell you more...

www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=60_112_276&products_id=1604That's the Box set for the M16 MAG Magazines. Under "Please Note".. it says that they will not work with KWA. Do you have any other suggestions gun-wise other than KWA? I want a DMR, preferrably an M16. KWA's lookin pretty strong right now though. Whatever I end up getting, it will be within the next month. I want the best "out of the box" gun. I hate having to run to Toledo just to get my gun messed up by their tech.

I'd still say go with the KWA. The Classic Army PMC has been getting great reviews. I'd still go with the KWA, but that's my personal preference. I've had way too many problems with my CA guns to go with CA over all others. www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=3796

Only problem with the KWA's besides the hop-up would be the fps. A lot of people were shooting over 400fps with the M4's and the M16 is supposed to be out of the box shooting 425fps. But if you dont plan on attending any events then dont worry about it.
On the mag note, Joe uses MAG M4 mags in his and they work fine. If you want to order any other mags I would go with the G&G midcaps, Peterman and I both have them and I love them.

Yeah, i would be down-grading my spring to either an M110 or 120. Their out-of-the-box fps is too high. I do plan on attending some events. Thanks for all the help.
*EDIT*: I am 110% set on the KWA. Now the question is where to order from... The best right now is Airsoft GI but lemme know where you guys order from if you could. Thanks.

Almost all my stuff came from Airsoft GI. Like Vito said they are a very good place (company).

Nice. Very nice. Would a 9.6 4200 run it ok? They are having a 10% discount with a code so I'll be saving around $40.

Yes, any 9.6 would run it fine

Beautiful. Also, where did you order your tac gear (BDU's, Vests, knee pads, etc.) as well as your ESS Turbo Fans? The Profile Turbofans are around $160 and the Striker are only approx $120ish

HAHA - thanks Tony. Yeah, I like the Profiles better as well. The ESS goggles that you let me wear the other day.... Were those Profiles but without a fan? I LOVED them.
*Edit* U wanna sell 'em? Or at least lemme know where you got them. Turbofans are a little bit out of my budget at the moment. I'll be getting a bonus from work in February, so I'll get them with that.
