| I'm getting so darn confused over the multiple names airsoft manufactures work under...
I mean...
Ares = Umarex?
KWA = KWC?
CYMA = Cybergun = SoftAir
Whats the deal? How bout we get a little directory going on the different aliases...I'm sick of getting confused.
Also "who's cloning who"? | |

Also "who's cloning who"? It is usually to show what country it comes from. | |

| Im guessing its like cars, VW owns Audi, but they are separate because they want Audi to be higher end and more fancy than VW. The same this is with Toyota and Lexus, and Honda and Acura. | |

| Yeah, KSC and KWA are the same thing but supposedly KSC has better quality control than KWA. Also Umarex is H&K I believe, but that is their alias when they team up with other manufacturers to create a licensed version of an H&K gun (full trademarks) And Sno is right, it shows what country it's from. Confusing  | |

| Ares is STAR's OEM, they basically pushed STAR out of the US.
KWA is KSC's OEM, same thing with Star/Ares.
CYBERGUN=Uramex=Softair=Palco Sports. These guys just buy guns from JG, CA and re brand them with their name.
