Potential Upgrades or Changes:

I have added a Magpul PTS hand guard for enhanced weapons manipulation. It may also be advisable to find a replacement stock for the standard LE version which is included. Depending on what you want to do with the gun (i.e. what role you want it to fill) you may want to purchase an outer barrel extension, but in my opinion it would be more effective to simply purchase a version with a longer barrel. Internally, the gun is very solid out of the box, however a tight bore inner barrel would definitely help improve the accuracy of the platform. I would also HIGHLY recommend investing in a quality optic to mount on this gun, especially if you plan on using it in a CQB environment, as the included iron sights are not the most effective means of acquiring targets.

Thoughts:

The KWA KM4-A1 is definitely worth the price. Having a metal body is an extreme advantage durability-wise, eliminating the possibility of a potentially catastrophic external failure. All pieces of the gun that are not metal are made of a high quality, high impact polymer plastic that will not fail unless extremely abused. The plastic on the pistol grip portion is a bit shiny, but this is a miniscule gripe. Again, the internals of the gun out of the box are very pleasing, with very few upgrades needed at all. Overall, the gun is extremely well put together, both externally and internally, making it a prime choice for players looking for a high-end CQB/indoor primary weapon.
