Welcome to another SCDTV review for Gunfire
today we'll talk about AKs
Why do we need GBB?
I've got a CYma of newer generation
so something better than 0.28
this one has been upgraded by Adi
we've got an original wooden handguard
a magazine with airsoft insert
custom pistol grip ( Trigger Happy )
the rest is airsoft but worn out just like the original
it looks wonderful
but the magic fades away with the pull of a trigger
unlike this one :D
the replica
it's an AK from WE
guys at Gunfire changed the handguard to a wooden one
the original WE has a plastic one
everything has been made from a solid piece of steel
nothing wobbles
or clangours everything looks OK
the plastic parts are the magazine and pistol grip
the rest is steel, excluding the handguard
it's WE variation on AKSU
WE added this plate
which should make reloading the magazine easier
but I have no bloody idea how it works
a nice fire selector
allowing changing safe to semi or auto with just one finger
the main adventage of this replica is the fact that
the bolt travels just like in the real one
it gives a really nice blowback effect
just like most WE magazines
it has a switch that allows you to dissable or enable the dry fire mode
I've disabled the dry fire mode so it should stop firing after the last bb
it works
IT'S NOT AN AEG!
an adventage for some but a disadventage for others
is the fact that all the time you have to look after this replica
you can't leave it after a skirmish
all the more cleaning the gun is fun
you can disassembly it just like the original
take a piece of cloth or a toothbrush and clean all the elements
assembling is equally easy
ready. Cleaned replica can wait to be used in next skirmish
What do we take care of?
loading the magazine seems easy
and it is, but we have to remember that the insert can protrude
so find a place to press the magazine against
after loading the magazine everything seems well, again
we insert the magazine into our replica
we're ready to kill
you run through the forest and catch on a branch or piece of gear
and suddenly you lose it
Watch out for cold
full bolt travel means large gas consumption
which leads to quick cooling down effect
so remember that when shooting full auto
FPS
we'll be using GFC Rockets bbs and ProTech green gas
don't do this at home!
Accuracy by AKSU
from the distance of 20 metres we had only 4 hits
again 20 metres distance, full auto
12 hits
much better
summing up
is it worth investing the money in this replica?
yes, it's worth it. the replica is well built
lots of adventages we metioned and e.g. this side mount
or that everything is made from oxidized steel
it's impressive but has its disadventages like seasonality
well, there are no perfect replicas. So what are the downsides?
First. The cooling down effect of the magazine.
Next, seasonality.
Finally, internal parts wear out more quickly than in an average aeg.
Just use it and have fun.
