Is it a good skirmishable weapon? I need a gun that is about the same size as my KJW G27, and this seems about right. Anyone have any experience w/ it? What kind of performance can i expect?

Actually it's the 8045, it's a .45, not a 9mm, even though that doesn't actually matter... But it is a hell of a lot bigger than a G27, I can tell you that. Performance wise, you'll get about 250 fps + or - about 3 fps. Max range, with properly adjusted hopup will get you about 110-120 feet, and it's pretty accurate for a good range considering the short barrel. Good recoil/blowback, fairly quick, heavy slide, reliable as all hell. As far as a skirmish pistol/backup is concerned, hell yes, I've used it numerous times, saved me. Any more questions? Just ask.

Wait a minute though... The 'WA M8000' is the same thing as the M8045? I know KSC makes a gun called the M8000, and WA doesn't, to my knowlegde, but they do make the Cougar. Also, the M8045 is only 20mm longer than a G27... Not a big difference in my book

Also, there is a gun in the auctions that i bid on called the KJW M8000 Cougar. Think it is similar in performance to the WA version?

the length isnt the only deciding factor in size man. the grip in a m8045 is longer, and wider. the weight is also quite different. Or feels quite different anyways. Only downside is adjusting hop-up on this piece. It can be tedious, but once set, it's (scared to say) a perfect sidearm.
