So, I just got an email from Airsoft GI, and the KWA metal version of the KSC USP .45 is in stock and on sale.

They also have an OD version.

Same here. Looks promising.

Yea, heh, I'd probably still get the KSC plastic one though.

[Erestheux]

Built from high-impact high density ABS plastic, and high quality metal slide. This gun offers fantastic griping and remarkable blowback force. Body painted in matte black, the pistol looks extraordinary. We are offering an exciting deal on this new item. The package includes the KSC USP45 Full Metal, one spare magazine, and one bag of Airsoft Elite 0.20 bbs.

Two reasons I am confused.

1. If it is full metal, then why is it that only the slide is metal and the body is "high-impact high density ABS plastic?" That makes no sense, maybe its just a typo.

2. It says KSC in the description, instead of KWA. Probably a typo, but that's damned confusing, eh?

The real steel has a plastic body, maybe thats why

[Erestheux]

...but then the real steel shouldn't be considered full metal, right? The word "full" insinuates that the entire gun (read: full) is made of metal. Not just the slide. Nope.

See, that's where you say "metal slide" instead of "full metal."

I mean, that's what it means to me...

Ach cmon. Guns with maximum metal (metal more or less where the RS is metal) have always been called "full metal", like the KJW FMV Glocks. Nobody calls them "KJW Glock With Metal Slide And Metal Barrel".
The KJW Para/1911 FMVs are also called "FMV" despite the fact they come with a plastic chamber (or some of them do).

By your reasoning, there's no such thing as a Full Metal airsoft gun, as there will always be some non-metal content. No need to nitpick plz, back on topic.

[blitz]

hopefully we get them with some trades

[rizzo]

word to my Utty bro-

It's always been the case

[BigAl]

OD one for you lazy bods

I find it a little hard to try and envison how it would look with the orange on the front but I expect i would get the black version myself.

[Rec]

No markings? Bah, I'll just buy a quality-aftermarket metalslide.

[Spedz]

I presumed trade marks were illegal in ol' Germany?

[Jonny]

good christ, I hope KSC releases an OD version of this gun.... me WANTS

[hendrix]

i want one and their deal is pffering an extra magazine.

[Krazy L]

I may get that Od for scirmishing and the KSC with SD slide for display... at least mags are interchangable... Lets hope Airsoft Atlanta get them in soon so i can go fondle it.

I presumed trade marks were illegal in ol' Germany?

Hm, no, not quite. If the manufacturer has a license (like CA has the Steyr license now) it's all fine. But H&K don't give away licenses for their logo/replicas at all, so basically all the KSC and TM trades are illegal worldwide. Of course, most countries don't care, but in Germany H&K has at least some legal influence, so they could sue retailers for selling unlicensed items. That's why most retailers/importers erase Markings like Glock or HK right from the beginning... I'd import a slide myself, though (just like I did with the USP itself), a single item won't attract the custom's attention.

[Sledge]

Hmm, £100.57. Might go nice with my USPc.

So you only need a suit and suitcase to go with this. Collateral anyone?

Erestheux: Even real guns are rarely totally full metal. Steel frame pistols have grip plates of plastic or wood. "Full metal" refers to an airsoft gun that has the same metal parts as real ones, IE a Glock is full metal if the slide and barrel are metal. Same goes here.
