WE or TM

Nov 7, 2010 5:45am
I am looking at the Tan 4.3 from WE and TM. I cant detect the differance, besides the mags and one has a Metal Body.

go with tm, WE is basically the same tm mold, they just use all metal, and internals on tm are better, tm is better quality.

I have a WE MEU right now which im going to sell to a friend within a month and I think that it performs really well but the mags suck.

i have two TM hicapa 4.3s, ones upgraded and the other isnt...i love the 4.3s body and feel, you wont even realize the body is plastic when your shooting it. GO WITH THE TM

Go tm, more parts on the market.

I'd say TM. I have a WE HI-Capa and it has issues.

Obviously everyone is going to say TM.

Go TM. WE's performance is sub-par, the externals suck (yes, they are metal, but crappy POT METAL) and some parts can't be upgraded. Plus every one is a little different, so just because X part worked in one persons WE does not mean in will work in yours. There's crappy chinese manufacturing for ya....And yes, I speak from experience, being a former WE owner.
My favorite moment at ASBG:

If you have the money go TM. I've owned both the WE and the TM model and the TM is a far better performer. Besides just getting parts, the TM feels like it has harder recoil, better gas efficiency, shoots far straighter and farth, and will last a really long time. the WE breaks extremely easily, and the gas system isn't fully suitable for the metal body anyways. So yeah...you'll be happier with TM for sure
We shall meet in glorious battle

This thread has been saturated with Tokyo Marui answers. I own a TM and KWA Mark II in tan, and love them both. I have owned a WE for a couple years, and once I had the mney to trade up I was glad I did. I know switch off between my KWA and Tokyo Marui. The KWA feels better, I like the all metal and gives you a sturdy slap everytime you pull the trigger, but the magazines don't hold gas like the TM's (tm can shoot through 1-3 magazines new on 1 refill of gas) and the KWA magazines are expensive. If you have owned a WE you will appreciate the difference in quality and lack of play in the slide with a TM 1911
