Ok everyone, I was searching exhaustively for more WE P14 reviews. I found this review on Airsoft GI written by
A. WAWRZYNIAK on
August 18, 2007:
"Okay, before I had some malfunctions with this gun, it was great. With the hop-up well adj...more>> usted and using Airsoft Elite .25g BB's, I was getting 1ft. groupings at around 100 ft. away from the target. This was, BEFORE, It decided to act up. After only about 20 magazines put through, it broke down. The slide gets stuck in the locked position, the hammer refuses to lock back, and the tiny nozzle that connects to the 12gram CO2 cartridge inside the magazine is bent (because at some point someone didn't PERFECTLY align the cartridge and screw it in slowly. I talked about my experiences with it on an online airsoft forum, and someone posted some simple directions to fix it (maybe they will work).
Such an amazing GBB when it WORKED. I still have to recommend it because its performance is amazing for a GBB, but be warned, this thing can go from great to heartbreaking in a second. Luckily, the gun that malfunctioned was my brother's. I'm still going to pick one up someday, and hope to god It doesn't spaz on me like my Bro's did, I'm hoping he just got a lemon. Hoping REAL HARD."
So, what do you guys think? Right now, I am starting to lean toward getting a HFC M190. These reviews are shaking my confidence.

Anyone have any comments on the quality of recent WE?
(Serisouly, a full metal GBB for the price of a TM? It's both hard to take seriously and hard to resist looking deeper into it)
