I know there's been lots of talk about the KAC PDW coming out for airsoft.  We've had the VFC version followed by Dboy's PDW and Echo 1's rebranded "RDW".  But those are AEGs... But since we at GGI is a gas guns forum :-)  Here's what WETTI has to offer.

I wonder what the price point will be? $200 in HK/china shops before shipping? Slightly lower than the scar.

Is the PDW partial polymer?

[alston251]

I don't think they will have to lower the price lower than the Scar. Because of the natural popularity of the PDW and it is the first GBB version too. So there should be little competition with the AGM/JG/WA/G&P GBBs.

But if they want to have a competition with the DBoys PDW. The price should be interesting.

Damn i don't think i have money for another WE GBB.

thanks for the update IBICO

Wow.



I can hardly wait for this.  I liked the VFC as soon as I saw it, but it was a little too pricey for me.  Then the Dboys/KAC versions, which is more like my budget, so I was thinking of getting one the other night.  Good job I didnt.  I wonder though, the propriatory magazines are smaller than those of the normal armalite series, so will they hold many shots?  Also I wondered whether the M4/scar magazines will fit, as I am sure that I read that the aeg M4 magazines will fit in the KAC pdw, which would be great for those who own one of the above already as they will then straight away have extra mags at thier disposal.  I really like the way that WE are coming out with some really nice guns, and it is also really good to see them listening to thier end customers and responding to thier concerns, a really nice bit of customer liason.  I can see them costing me a small fortune!  Now hurry up wetti people, stop reading this and hurry up and release these and those Browning Hi Powers that you are doing, go!

This is pretty cool. This could be my entry into the gbbr world, assuming it does't have the faults of the WE SCAR.

[yehaw]

me wants a G36 :-/

[Jim01]

OOOOH i like, i like...im assuming how quickly WE pushed out its Scar then this should be out in a relativly short time!

[CrazyJ]

Oh wow!

Now I wanna wait for this and forget about the SCAR!

[rusTORK]

Nice! But i need MP5-N... 8-\

[bart_dude]

just wondering, what is this hype with the pdw? it is a very practical choice since it combines the features modern day gun has like the stock, sights rails and ambi stuff, but i just dont like the looks of it, did a game or something make this gun famous?

[appslapp]

its very sleek, light , and you can work this gun faster than an M4 in "combat".............and you are not running around with a mp5K just to have a small gun.

And no....I dont mean real combat...just nerdcombat for chubby nerds as myself;)

It is indeed quite unusual. Usually, airsoft models only gain popularity after they've been seen in use with some high speed spec-ops unit. However, afaik the most publicity this gun has received is when it was featured in an episode of "Future Weapons".

[MinisterofDeath]

Not bad. CNC Machined you've got to like that. The quality of production is definitely on the rise in airsoft.

[Revenge Seeker]

Wow its already updated with  pics of a painted receiver and the bolt carrier.  Looks like this is progressing even faster than the WE SCAR was.

[Whan]

The PDW is pretty much an improved M4 with all the goodies most people want in a package that's really light. It's also good looking too.

Ver 2 compatibility + M4 mag compatibility + folding stock + good looks & Unique + KAC = Highly liked in airsoft.

[somegirls]

I like it, even it will most likely still not be ready out of the box.

[yehaw]

kinda unrealistic if it takes regular 5,56 magazines ..

well to forgo a little bit of realism just to make sure you don't segment the market is the logical business decision.  Last thing WETTI wants is to force their customers to having to buy different types of magazines considering that would make many a dissatisfied customer.
