I've read about issues with internal parts breaking but seeing as its largely TM compatible parts wise (correct me if I'm wrong) wouldn't swapping breakage prone parts resolve those issues?
I know early WE products were apparently crap but I've been seeing a number of threads saying WE's been coming out with better stuff lately.
I'm not stuck on WE or any brand for that matter, pretty open minded but would like to know whats up with their products as I'm still a noob when it comes to these things.

My only experience thus far with WE is with a 3.8 hicapa. As such, it's purely a subjective opinion.
I got it in a trade for an item i wanted hanging around, even less. new in box, along with an imploded (many) parts gun. The ambi-safety was separated, just sitting in the box. It looks cheap. It is cheap, at least as compared to my KJWs/KWA. It'd be pretty much more accurate, if i were to physically throw it at someone.
I knew of the guns rep before trading something else that was pretty much useless to me.. i wasn't disappointed.
Maybe WE has improved, in rebranding to WEi? or WeTech, or whatever they are going by now. Hopefully it is something more than just a cosmetic corporate re-branding. I'm not totally up on that topic.

Again, I'm relatively unsophisticated, and inexperienced as far as the KWA's go.. all i know, is that it meets my expectations, given my investment in it. It hasn't gone South.. yet.
