Am I a KWA fan-boy? Not really. No more so than I think G&G, CA and a couple of others have put out good products. I do think that KWA missed the boat on a couple of key points in producing their armalite model:
1. Retaining the split hopup design
2. Requiring a "unique" top hopup unit and nozzle
3. Metal piston head
Tys
And I just replied to that post:
Yeah, the hopup unit is unique in the sense that the ridge provides perfect alignment, theres no advantage of a one peice unit being better than a two peice.
The piston head on the other hand...

The KWA aluminum piston head and the polymer cylinder head work well together. They were designed to minimize impact but yet produce maximum performance. Changing out the piston head will upset the balance and may not guarantee a better result.
Why would KWA assemble a amazing gun and screw one thing up?

P.S. KWA is also a automotive parts company before airsoft, they have engineers and a extensive lab to test their AEG's to find the best performance, your just dicking perfection by changing out your KWA's piston head. Pardon the language.
