Are WE and KWA Glocks compatible?
1 March, 2013, 18:48
I'm wondering whether WE glock mags will work in a KWA.
I've received a Glock 18 I bought from someone today in a Magpul FPG kit. The Glock itself seems to be a KWA (has the ASG 6mm markings) and the mag, which is an extended type, has a WE base plate.
The FPG kit itself seems to function fine, and the Glock slide
seems
to be doing what it should, since when you cock it and pull the trigger you get the 'click' to show the hammer has worked. However, if you cock it and insert the mag it fires one shot and then won't re-cock the hammer (either in semi or auto). If you try and cock it with the mag in it won't engage the hammer at all.
It seems to me that the mag and the slide are not compatible. Then again, I don't know that the slide itself is actually functioning as it should since I have no other compatible Glock magazines to test it (I only have TMs, and they don't fit).
Anyone know about the compatibility of the two?
Emmet.

No no no, KWA and WE are totally different systems. Mags from one will not function in the other, even if it locks into place. The two main groups of Glock compatibility are KSC & KWA, and on the other side TM and clones. The WE is a true TM clone and therefore not at all KWA or KSC compatible. The FPG will only take a KSC or KWA slide, so the WE mag is useless. Posting a picture the mag will help sort this out.

^ That was my feeling on this (well, the KWA/KSC being one 'family' and TM on the other; I just wasn't sure where WE fell).
I've PMed the seller and will have to see what he says.
