Kiwi, great run down!
Again, no surprise that the TM gets best vote. Selling my TM AEG isn't going to get me anywhere near TM GBB money though so it just can't be a option.
I've read that the KWA spits a lot of gas out of the barrel & suffers quite bad from cool down. Have you experienced this? NPAS system is more money but maybe already fitted if I buy a used Gun.
I know your probably going to think "why is he even asking" but I just have a couple of questions on the WE lol. So, the Mag's, I've read their better with new Seal's, did you ever try that? Did you ever try fitting the Maple Leaf Hop & if so did it improve things much? You say there's a gen 1 & a gen 2, then that the New Wave is just a gen 1 with a better Trigger Set. Does that mean there's another brand that's selling a gen 2 version? If the Hop & Trigger were improved would you say this Model would be a good buy, especially as it is good value for money & 1:1 if that's what you like.
Overall, if the TM were out of range, what Gun would you buy?
Sorry about all the questions bit you seem like a good brain to pick
