Personally, the only issue I've ever encountered with KSC / KWA guns is the issue of the hopup rubber swelling due to the nature of the material used. It's annoying, but hardly a show-stopper and an easy, cheap replacement.

I've learned through a few years of experience that their guns and mags require VERY LITTLE silicone oil to keep in working condition. While you'll typically put a couple of drops of oil in your propane can every 8-10 fills with a typical GBB, try it about once every 20-25 fills with KSC / KWA. Don't use pre-mix green gas, as it will also over-oil your hopup.

I quickly ruined my first hopup on my Glock 17 a couple of years ago. Since then, I've lightened my oil use on it and haven't had the slightest problem. I have no issues with leaky mags and the pistol is an absolute beast in terms of performance. I would highly recommend KSC / KWA to anyone.
