thanks for the heads up..I think the torch plug is still in there, what happens if not??. I paid £150 with one mag and it's barely been used. Hoping I havnt picked up a lemon lol am i going to find it difficult to get spares for it. what parts would you recommend getting for spares. really appreciate your help guys, thankyou
Definetly get hold a spare sear set if you can find any, i also second the airsoft enginuity hop set over the maple leaf one , ive had both and seem to have more luck with the fixed hop. as RDB said dont lose the torch plug or thats it gone forever!!!!!! Spare hammers and springs come up time to time from kwa themselves in the US. Everything else should last pretty well. TTake it apart learn how everything works its a very finnicky trigger set if it isnt all absolutley perfect youll have issues, but they arent too complicated to fix when they do go down
Also would reccoment getting a Gen 2 Style trigger from Rhesus which converts it to a normal style trigger which feels nicer to shoot. (also adds the benifit of being able to tune the trigger pull.)
Other than that look after it and enjoy it

It looks kinda cheesy with that front now but it was few years ago when really there were no shrouds yet on the market. At 140psi that gun is a beast.
Looks like a g36 handguard ?

Ok well I glued it reassembled it and it works again but little bit sceptical about how long it will last so might switch it out when that 3D printing one arrives on Monday. And then look at changing from straight propane to green gas
Straight propane should be ok it mainly what GG is if anything GG probably has more umph

yeah was pretty upset when my mate broke it, making him feel super guilty hahaha, the white vectors on the early post look mint - been wanting to do like a digital camo pain job on mine for ages just need to get an air brush
You'll get very good at taking them apart and fixing them in no time if you use it alot 😏😂

sweet doesn't sound to hard, will defiantly look into getting one when this new GBB cylinder comes. scoured through my emails to find out how long I've had the KWA Vector and I got it back in july 2013 😮
Wow had it a while then.
I got mine last year and if im honest it's barley the same gun i bought back then thanks to @rocketdogbert and his persuasive ways 😂😂

yeah that on, looks amazing, feel like I need it for my gun once I fix it lol
All you need to do is remove the thread protector then make a shim of some sort for the barrel (piece of coke can or something) then do up the grub screw and jobs a gooden 👌

oh that is a bit of a down side having the hop fixed then, what do you mean by standard barrels? is that to be able to extend the front of the vector then as well as adding thinks like silencers?
What it means is you can used Normal inner barrels that fit other gbbs like the crazy.jet inner barrel etc

Nicer looking or nicer pull?
Both in my mind it converts it to a normal style trigger pull on a pivot. And it's styled like a later generation vector trigger
14 minutes ago, Fizzyfeelgd said:stupid question but what does the upgraded hope do? ive got my hop set up pretty bang on with good range and accuracy, does the upgraded one help improve the range or accuracy
The 3d printed hop lets you use standard gbbr barrels and hops but at the downside of having the hop fixed

do you guys have any suggestions for parts that are worth getting just to upgrade it and help the gun, im pretty happy with it as it is but im keen to improve it just hard to find any parts for them
Other than the 3d printed nozzle it's the 3d printed hop and a crazy jet barrel and a ml hop rubber. There's also a 3d printed trigger you can get that is way nicer than the standard

thanks I did find that but my only issue with it is when looking at the "part" it obviously looks like a 3D printing part and I just don't trust it, I get the seller is saying its a "carbon Fibre" part but it just simply doesn't look like one to me and looks 3D printed and to me it doesn't look reliable and I just have a feeling if I got it, it would just break again and do more damage to the gun
Your correct it is 3d printed but it's also carbon fibre reinforced 😊 @rocketdogbert has tested it thoroughly and had no problems as far as I know

Hi All,
need some help/advice please, I have a GBB KWA Kriss Vector and I've had it a few years now (can't remember when I got it but could search my emails for a date) but I'm pretty sure I've had it easily 4 years plus now the issue I have is that I stupidly leant it to my best friend so he could try out airsoft and see if he likes it, I wasn't there with him as I was working but I think he basically used full auto way to much and it caused the gun to seize and it looks like the cylinder is broke as the back bit of it is snapped sadly don't have any photos of it on my work PC. now my issue is the gun itself was a nightmare to get when it first came out and I struggled for ages, now it seams the parts for it are just as hard to find, I can't find a cylinder anywhere and ive even emailed KWA to see what they can do but no reply yet. now I don't know enough about it but is there an alternative cylinder I can use that KWA make for another GBB gun of there's or does anyone know of where I can get one?? are there any upgrade parts that are worth me buying for it as im so upset and don't want to lose the use of my gun. as a heads up I live in south wales in the UK if that helps
thanks in advance
Alan
This is what you'll need if the nozzle is broken/jammed

Hey guys... really need some help.
My guns trigger, after a few shots in semi will stop working and I’ll have to spam the trigger for it to reset before I can shoot again. I can feel the trigger ‘click’ back then I can fire again.
2 round burst and full auto are totally fine.
Anyone else have this issue?
ive checked my trigger bar, Sears, cleaned and lubed... what else can it be? Issue is only in semi.
Ah the dreaded issue trigger issue me and @rocketdogbert where plagued with through most of last year, have you tried a new semi sear, trigger bar or hammer ?
In the end i ended up swapping out most of my trigger pack to fix the issue. I personally can't say exactly what it is as i believe it's a mixture or a few things but rdb is probably your best bet

Had a PTS mega arms 308 and a USP tactical. £1000+ in kwa stuff and all of it was below average in terms of performance. Tm and VFC gbbr’s Run rings around them in my experience
Has to be said they aren't the best in their stock form but a couple tweaks and they're a lovely gun to use 😊

Actually, what gives gas guns their impressive range is joule creep compared to their FPS when using heavy BB’s. Accuracy comes from a good hop rubber.
KWA can’t utilise the gas advantage because their hop design couldn’t lift a dick in a strip club. This chamber fixes the issue of the lousy hop and lets the gun perform. I still wouldn’t touch a KWA product for as long as I live though. Too many bad experiences.. even with an airsoft engenuity touched one.
Can't say I've had the best of luck/experience with my vector but there's no way I'd willingly get rid of it 😊
And i have a standard hop in my Kwa 1911 and it works just as good as anything else 😊

Errrrr really!! Please can you do a shooting video?
Have a strange attraction to the Vector but I've always felt it a bit er useless range/accuracy wise and I don't play enough CQB to justify the outlay!
I have one of the prototype ones in my vector aswell paired with a crazyjet barrel and .32s its ranging easily 65-70+ metres.😯
Haven't tried one of the production versions just yet but i would assume they easily keep to that if not better 😊

So I recently got myself a KWA vector, thought I'd drop by and see if I can join the club and get the matching owners jackets.
Welcome to the club (Warning it can get expensive ). What mods does your gun have and what have you got planned?

Airsoft Engenuity’s carbon fibre nozzles are going great guns in my Vectors 😊
Think I'll be adding one to mine once mine breaks 👍👍

Looking forward to getting mine 👍
