King Arms PDW 9mm SBR Airsoft AEG Rifle (Color: Black & Blue / Shorty)

"The most reliable, consistent and comfortable AEG I've used. King Arms always seems to have quality on lock when I've used their stuff. The only issue it has is most of my MP5 mags needed to be slightly modified to feed reliably for this gun, by putting a layer of electrical tape over the top section to make the magazine hold in the well tighter so BB's could feed

"Great gun honestly, I bought it when they first came out and for someone who got the first generation, it's pretty smooth.

Pros:
- Fact it takes MP5 mags, mine were incompatible yet still worked.
- Its pretty much an M4 that uses mp5 smgs so upgradablity afterwards is very open.
- Honestly a cheap beginner gun that has a lot going for it, definitely recommend for friends.

Cons:
Shoots a little hot out of the box but literally 8 bucks got me a CQC spring (pro is that it takes like 15 mins to swap)
Motor screw on the bottom got stripped to crap. Not taking a star off though for that as it was my fault and the fact that it's still fine after all I've done to it is I'mpressive.

"This is a really great gun. It looks and feels great and preforms pretty well. Mags are a bit finicky but if you shave down the lip on them most work fine. I use matrix hi caps. They don’t fit until you shave them down. The only problems are the orange tip, the motor adjustment screw loosening, and I had a problem with the trigger. Other than that it’s great.

"Great gun out of the box and great for CQB the only flaw with this Gun is how crazy dum the orange tips are too remove.
If you buy this gun consider buying a new outer barrel as well..
FYI I don’t recommend the CYMA mp5 mags go with the HK mags

"I have spent money on so many aeg’s and gas pistols that are expensive just to buy this cheap ass gun and it lasts thousands of rounds without breaking or grinding down the stock piston or snapping teeth!!!!! It’s still working and I have shot more than 10,000rounds out of it in less than 1month!!!

Con is I think the suppressor is stuck on it

"Got this gun a couple weeks ago. Changed the motor out w/a M120 G&P high speed motor. Took it to the field last weekend and here are my pros and cons.

Pros

- performs great
- mags feed well
- SUPER easy to be mobile
- looks fire

Cons

- could shoot a little father
- the tip on mine was orange and impressively hard to remove.

All around I think it's a great gun to buy but deffinitly could use some upgrades for ROF, Trigger response, and range

Look into it.

"Got this gun in a BOA and was not at all disappointed! Such a different looking gun and i love it. I changed the rail for an 5.7” m lok and it fits great, but beware the flash and the delta ring are glued but you can get it off with; nail polish remover, boiled water, and brute strength. I absolutely loved the gearbox in it before but i did swap it for an hpa system and it works so great! I do recommend using the cyma mid caps, if you shave the lips a lil bit they work like a dream! Anyway 10/10 on the gun. Its fun i just wish they made a metal frame also!

"I bought one, immediately put a m100 spring ,11.1v, tracer unit and has more than impressed me. Very snappy, and pretty accurate with .25
3 days of constant cqb use and it never once hiccuped.
10/10 would recommend

Also cyma straight mags don’t work in this gun well.

"I have had this gun sense it was first released. Pre ordered the grey m-lok version and have loved it. I have gamed it at least a dozen times now, twice outdoors and the rest of times indoors. It definitely shines in a cqb environment but could also hold its own outdoors. I have had no problem with battery space and have fit an 11.1 lipo buffer tube style battery in the pdw stock, way more than enough room. The orange flash hider is definitely a hard one to take off but nothing impossible, took me like 20 minutes to take that bad boy off. But in all reality, one should expect to always have a little trouble taking off the orange flash hiders lol. The gun doesn’t seem to be picky either, when it comes to mags. I used existing mags I have from my vfc mp5. The mags consisted of Echo 1 high caps, jg high caps, and MAG brand mid caps. All have fed with no problems.

Pros
-Polymer body is sturdy and front end has no wobble.
-good battery space.
-nice trigger response, especially with an 11.1 lipo.
-not picky for mags.
-good range for a stock smg length aeg.
-pretty much TM based gun.
-looks nice overall.
-takes mp5 mags instead of proprietary ones.
-v2 gear box.
-nice m-lok front end.

Cons
-None so far

"Cant say enough good things about mine. Absolutely love it.

"This guns is great !!!I use a 9.6v bat seems to do just fine along with a 7.4lipo but the other makes it faster kinda seems a little heavy but then again I Added a Grenade launcher ((((heavy )))Great performance with 20s dissembled it too really nice but gonna Replace most internals To make Rof higher and stronger

"Got this gun about a month ago. The blazing amplifier is quite hard to remove but very doable. Dropped a PolarStar jack into with minimal modifications and I was able to modify the body to fit a g&g Gearbox Shell and a speed trigger. Ran it stock twice and was great for the price. super unique gun. I have built 3 more of my PolarStar builds and sold them for $200 more than I built them for as no one know about this gun yet, so get it now!

"Bought the MLOK Shorty version with the airsoft package, and have had it for over a couple months now.
Love the pdw stock with 7 positions that lock into place. There isn't much that seems too cheap or plastic besides the magazine it comes with, just kinda feels out of place for the sturdy build. The go airsoft package came with 2 CYMA mags that are too snug. Kind of a hassle to get in and out. Bolt catch doesn't actually work so you'll have to keep it pulled back to adjust the wheel style hop up. Hop isn't the greatest, but I did flat hop mine with minor adjustments to the barrel allignment to make sure there is no wobble and it shoots great. The orange tip had to be melted off via blowtorch after removing the outer barrel because they WELDED that thing on. No joke hardest flash hider ive ever tryed to remove. Over time the left magazine release button will strip on the screw, had to glue mine back on. The fire selector is just a bit too easy to flip, Accidently overshot in a CQB game recently. The gun also comes stock pretty quiet. Opened up the gearbox and shimmed it, the motor is still a bit noisey.
Would highly recommended to a new or lower budget airsoft.

"Subtracted half a star for the "silenced" version because you absolutely cannot get the stock silencer off. If you want to use a tracer unit, know that the inner barrel extends about 4 inches past the end of the handguard of the SBR version. Very aggravating design and what's worse is you pay more for the "silenced" version. You will also need to shell out another $7 for a endcap replacement for the orange plastic on the end of the silencer.

Subtracted another half star for the following features:
-The stock battery connector has to go as well so if you're new to the hobby that's more money spent for the right connector.
-While the PDW stock fits the MP5 aesthetic and is sturdy and flush, it doesn't adjust as easily and quickly as a generic delta stock.
-Trigger controls are outdated for 2023. I got a Lancer Tactical Gen 3 for the same price with a programmable trigger.

On the positive side, the handguard is metal and the side and bottom pic rails look to be removable so you get the MP5 look with better rail mounting options. I really like the pistol grip, feels aggressive and snug in the hand. The flip up sights are pretty decent and fit the look well. Gun shoots a bit loud but the FPS is up there which I like.

Overall I think this gun should retail a bit under $200 to be competitive in today's market. As with most AEGs, you're mostly paying for a particular look and this gun does hit the mark for HK lovers.

"I had this gun for a couple months before i sold it. In that time when i used it the selector switch just broke and the mag it came with didnt feed properly. When this gun fed and shot properly, it was a laser beam but when it didnt it was terrible.
