Jaeger Precision unboxes and shares his initial overview of the Maruyama MP9 Gas Blowback SMG, comparing it to the older KWA model. This later-generation replica includes a suppressor and features an updated selector switch for safe/semi/full-auto and an ambidextrous magazine release. The key upgrade is the new, easily adjustable hop-up system, and the magazines are lightweight, hold 48 rounds, and are cross-compatible with other Maruyama SMGs.

During testing, the MP9 chronoed perfectly at 1 Joule with .3g BBs, demonstrating a punchy feel and good rate of fire. The reviewer praised the excellent build quality, sturdy stock, and the end-user-friendly suppressor that can hide a standard tracer unit. Despite a single complaint about a loose charging handle, he was highly impressed, deeming the MP9 an outstanding product straight out of the box.
