Is This the BEST Affordable M4 of 2026? - KS1 WellPro/EMG · Patrol Base TV [PBTV]

Tested by Ed

The Wellpro KS1 is really good from what I've seen, and its own magazine was the most powerful and consistent of the bunch at around 390-410 FPS and 14 rounds a second. The Tokyo Marui and CGS mags do work but had feeding issues, chopped BBs and jams, so I wouldn't buy them for this replica. The Angry Gun and Guns Modify mags ran well, and the Guns Modify are my favourite mags generally, though they're the most expensive at $80. My KS1 has a QC issue where the hammer fails to reset, which I think is just a spring that needs reseating. It's cheaper and it works, but I'd probably still tell people to go and buy the VFC KS1.

I expected to be a lot more impressed with the Wellpro KS1 and I'm really not. It refused to fire until I fiddled with the firing pin, the back of the grip slips down, and it takes MWS mags but uses proprietary parts. Chrono consistency on 0.25s was actually not bad and it has a nice snappy kick, but power dropped off toward the end of mags. For $410 versus about $580 for the VFC, I'd just buy the VFC. This one's likely a wall hanger or a giveaway

Out of the box

400FPS

0.2BB weight (g)

10FPS spread

30Mag capacity

Stock Wellpro mag: ~390-410 FPS on 0.2g, 14 rps, bolt lock fine. 1.28 J quoted at 370 FPS was with CGS mag. Mag prices quoted: TM $65, CGS $70, Guns Modify $79-80, Angry Gun $65-75; Wellpro mag ~$50 was Ed's guess. Swiss Arms 150 PSI gas used.

Caveats

Ed gave no numeric scores; all 1-10 scores are inferred from his qualitative comments
FPS figures vary by magazine; ootb FPS reflects the stock Wellpro magazine only
1.28 J was quoted with the CGS mag at 370 FPS, not the stock setup
Wellpro mag ~$50 price was Ed's guess; he explicitly said he didn't know the cost
Trigger-box hammer reset fault may be a unit-specific QC issue, not inherent to the model
Some chrono readings were false due to gas interference (e.g. 1260 FPS, 133 rps) and were discarded by Ed
Mag feeding failures may reflect magazine compatibility rather than the replica itself
No accuracy or range testing performed in the video
fps_spread of 23 is derived from Ed's stated chrono readings (374 high, 351 low), not a number Ed quoted
mags_per_fill left null: Ed only estimated 'two or three' per fill
Brand spellings uncertain from auto-transcript (e.g., Votatu/'Vitaratu', Lino CAD, Oxagon, Wellpro)
Chrono powered off during rate-of-fire tests; Ed rejected a 35 rps reading as wrong and accepted ~13 rps
Product list capped at 6; Ed also discussed the PPK20, PPK19, FCW/Oxagon QD suppressor, Swiss Arms gas and CGS PDW
VFC KS1 comparison is preliminary; Ed promised a separate full VFC review
