WE or KJW
 

I'm just looking for some advice here.

I have decided that my next gun will be a GBBR M4, likely in the way of a CQB-R. What is the general consensus on the WE vs KJW?

I find the WE is more realistic, but the KJW will likely have fewer problems OOTB. What is generally sought after as the weapon of choice as far as these 2 guns are concerned?

Personnally owning a KJW, and it's a pleasure to game with it. The only bad point so far are the thermold mags sitting in too tight in the pouches, otherwise I have not encountered disapointments so far.

WE is the better system.

Giving you 2 cent,
wait for the WE Open Chamber, the M16A1 was just released yesterday

See how the review for it goes

KJW is a pot metal gun, without any upgrade
WE is also a pot metal gun, (for most part) however, you can get upgrade

which of the two guns do most of the people you play with run? much easier to share/loan mags if it's the same system.

WE's are more common than KJW, so there are more players running with them.

It's not a clear cut, I know in Edmonton, there's more KJW than there's WE M4, however it's about the same in GBBR ## if you compare M4 Mags to KJW M4 Mag user.

Ya, I noticed there is a real lack of upgrade parts for the KJW. There aren't too many GBBR's where I live because they just don't tend to work quite as well due to our northern locale.

If I went with WE I wouldn't mind going with C02 mags, but I have heard that some of their guns have alot of problems running on C02. Is that still a problem or is it something WE has managed to remedy in the newer models?

there is no way to say WE is more realistic than KJW, WE is a good operating platform but when speaking of realistic it's the worst.

Realstic: WA > KJW >WE

So far, I would be the only player running a gas rifle that I am aware of. The only gas rifles that are readily available where I live are KJW so if I went with a WE I would have to order one online.

That's cause you live in GP, come down to Edmonton, Gas Rifle in the summer accounts up to 20% of users,
Last MeetnGreet I've seen folks w/
WE G36C
WE M14
WE M16/m4
WE PDW
KJW M4 Full metal & Clear

WA is the rarest here, I've one before, its awesome when it works, but when stuff breaks it's a headache.

KJW works out of box reliably while WE needs pre-treatment

Almost everything in this sport you have to order online.
It's not like hockey or tennis.

KJW's HAVE UPGRADE PARTS AVAILABLE
And they're made by laylax
Pretty sure Amos has them

Between WE open bolt and KJW, I'd say both are pretty reliable, it's a good contest between the two.

I can say for sure the open bolt system is the simplest system I've seen yet, but that's speaking for my PDW only. I haven't seen what their M4 open bolt system looks like.
However in the PDW is consists of only TWO moving parts, a bolt carrier and a GBB pistol air nozzle.

Your pretty good either way, but KJ only has the ugly ass thermold mags. WE has CO2, PDW and regular M4 propane mags.

RA-Tech makes a full upgrade line for the KJ's, Laylax (Prometheus) is working on a line, and there are SEVERAL after market things in Asia for the Tanio Koba M4 (Same thing)

For an M4 currently on the market, I would take a KJ any day over a WE.. However that may change one the WE open bolts come out.
