Cyma mws clone

[Daveoc33]

I don't understand why a clone of an MWS is priced at around the same price as a TM MWS. I must be missing something! It's great there's clone options now for parts at least (I haven't found the cyma gbbr mags though - possible saving...) 

I thought the whole point of a clone was you get the same thing but a bit cheaper.

agreed , I’d imagine it’s more trying to fill the gap (price wise) when TM’s are out of stock .
 

Is the Cyma an exact clone though ? I’d heard they’d added a few proprietary parts in there , which puts me off .

Cyma/ T8 isn't an exact clone . It doesn't use the zet system

I may be wrong but everything Ive heard about the T8 system is "avoid like the plague, if you MUST touch it then do so with someone else's bargepole"

The whole point of a clone is to make the manufacturer money that they thought they were missing out on.

I hadn't thought of this. Good point!
