Much discussion has been made on that subject:
- KSC version has plastic slide and Heavy Weight frame
- KWA version has ABS frame and metal slide
(Both as they are recieved, out of the box)
KSC and KWA are reputed to be two branches of the same company, but I've never heard anyone conclusively state that this is true, but since neither one makes the other one's 'variety' of gun, I believe I can safely say "No, KSC only makes the HW version".
I would suggest that the KSC USP Compact is also a candidate for best GBB, out of the box. I may have had excellent luck with mine, but:
- it ran propane
- shot very nicely
- had great hop-up
- range
- FAST cyclic rate
- Snappy shooting, felt nice. Small size created a surprising recoil.
- Easy to carry
- looks great, feels very good (heavy, realistic)
- Working De-cocker
Cons?
- I didn't have anything fail or screw up on it, so I can't comment on likely issues. I wouldn't suggest that it doesn't have it's problems, but I did not encounter any.
One article that could go both ways is the magazine. It's completely closed off (Ie, the BB's aren't visible while loaded)
Benefits of this are that the BB's are always kept away from dirt and debris.
Problems could be that it is a little harder to clean, and if you really like counting BB's, you'd have to count them on the way in. Oh, and it's a bit weird to load, but if you're good, you can fill it with a TM BB loader.
