Randy, I'm not going to disagree with someone in the know about the technical merits of the guns, but there's no doubt that "KSC" guns cost way more than "KWA" guns. For example, take a look at the Wargamers Club website in the KSC section. All of the Glocks have both a Japan and a Taiwan model - Japan being KSC, and Taiwan being KWA according to what we've established. But the price difference is HUGE for some of the guns - the Glock 19, for example, is $130US from Japan, or $95US from Taiwan. The M92 Elite goes from $150US to $100US.

So, if he paid for a KSC, he definitely got screwed from a retail perspective if he was shipped a KWA - regardless of any functional similarities/differences between the two, or even if they're idential - he paid for something with the difference (even if it was just the box).

That said, especially in light of what Roger just told us, I'm not accusing anyone of foul play (this sort of thing could be an innocent mixup even under the worst of circumstances). Just saying that someone paying for KSC should not receive KWA =) Unless it's a full-metal KWA G19... God how I wish I'd gotten one or two from you for $200 when I had the chance.
