1) Manufacturer, Model Name: KSC HK33K

2) Date Obtained: November 23 2007

3) Initial Cost: $311 USD (Redwolf)

4) New or Used: USED

5) Mechanical Problems: Some feed issues with brand new KSC magazines, sometimes does not feed a BB, usually fed upon second shot.
-
6) Esthetic Problems: Cocking handle is a little tough to pull, understandable since it cocks the spring back.

7) Rounds fired between failures: Unknown number of bb's at this point, no failures coming into my hands. *UPDATE* Minor failure, screw holding the cocking handle to the pin for manually cocking the spring somehow came loose causing the gun to cease firing, quick fix and back up and running in 5 minutes.

8) Changes to Internals and Externals: No upgrades at this point, original owner used as show piece, previous owner made no changes.

9) Resale Date and Value if applicable: N/A at this point

10)Notes and Comments: One of the most robust AEG's I've used to date. Feels solid, no rattle, very reliable (outside of the odd feed issue). Very nice feature that the battery can be turned on and off simply from a switch in front of the trigger. Also to date this is the only AEG I've heard of that will pre-cock the spring prior to firing, also the only AEG I know of that you can manually cock the spring using the charging handle. My only real beef with this gun is the fact that you can only use KSC HK33 magazines, since they are slightly larger than the CA magazines and the feed is in a different position. Battery choice is also slightly limited due to the small compartment in which the battery is placed in the upper receiver. Upper receiver/battery compartment are easily accessed with a body pin that can be removed by hand which is extremely well designed by KSC in my opinion. Final thoughts on this AEG is that it's an excellent weapon, however parts and magazines are few and far between.
