OK here is the better half of My order.Right off the bat Ill tell You this gun blows the G3 away in every aspect but FPS.Here is how it comes(minus the 8.4v battery and charger I have plugged in charging for todays games).

This gun is very well made.Metal parts include,upper receiver,outerbarrel,barrel,front sight and selector switch.The gearbox is plastic despite airsplat saying it is metal.

It comes with adjustable hop-up that works very well.

The accuracy of the Ak is pretty amazing.It shoots about a 12" group at 80 feet and offers headshot oppurtunity all day long.Me and My brother have a headshot only rule cause were crazy like that.I bought two of these and two of the G3's and We played with the Ak's for about 3 hours compared to 15 minutes with G3's.

Again using only .12's Im guessing this gun shoots in the 250 range.It will punch through a can but not out the other side like the lorcin.My Ics M4 shoots about 250(never upgraded) and the Ak is right there with it.It uses a plastic version 3 gearbox so it may offer some upgrade options but I havent been to involved in upgrading.BB's drop about 125 feet but like I said they fly on a rope.

One negative is the pistol grip is to small.I will be making a new grip as i have big hands and it doesnt feel comfortable in my hands.

It comes with 2 metal 70 rounds mags.The mags are of moderate quality but Ive noticed the last 3 rounds wont feed in each mag.

A huge plus is this gun is a TM clone and Ive heard everything for a TM will fit this gun.Im very happy with this gun and for $60 is the best deal around.I highly recommend anyone looking to buy a gun to start in airsoft this would be it.

Good review, i would consider getting this gun, but the plastic gearbox..... But it looks very nice. Also did the mag and the mag clamp come with the gun from airsplat?

Here's another review from old asr.
http://www.airsoftretreat.com/oldforums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=89641
"Again using only .12's Im guessing this gun shoots in the 250 range."
It should shoot a little higher then that. It is supposed to do 230 with .20's so im guessing 260-275 fps with .12's should be a little more like it.

Nice review, would you like me to add it to the review archive in the Buyer's guide?

Do you have any real FPS ratings?

n0thing · « **Reply #4 on:** February 18, 2006, 06:36:56 PM »

would you recomend this gun over the BE AUG

erik200: that review in the link was done by bignaz, a caught-red-handed-style liar. his results should be considered, but not trusted.

I currently dont have a way to verify the FPS but ordering a chrono monday.I have no problem with You adding it to the reveiw archive.

zootso · « **Reply #7 on:** February 18, 2006, 09:15:42 PM »

Hmm...sounds interesting. However, quick newb question regarding the plastic gears-that basically means the gun will die, thanks to dead gears, after extended use, right?

Really? I hate liars. But anyways the pics are still good from his review.
I heard the gears on the gun arent that bad. The xm8 has plastic gears, but people have been using it flawlessly for months.

Nice review, ostbucks98. Have you had any trouble with the gun double firing in semi? I've put at least a couple dozen mags through my AK now and have had no improvement. Some days it doesn't seem so bad, and other days it'll shoot 2 BBs with every shot. I'll be taking it apart soon to see if I can tweak anything, but I'm not sure what I could do to fix the problem..

ostbucks98 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 18, 2006, 10:44:24 PM »

Yes that bug has been popping up lately.Im not sure if its the mags that came with the gun or not.I have heard the standard mags were junk.Im gonna order a hi-cap and see what happens.

killmenow · « **Reply #11 on:** February 18, 2006, 11:16:25 PM »

Hey ostbucks this might sound like a weird question but. I have one of these guns and I hear everyone saying "This gun has amazing accuracy!!" Mine doesn't have such great accuracy. Where do you have your hop up set at? haha Like you know how it says hop and then the --->. Can you tell me where you have it set to. Haha if you dont understand heres an example. Like "I have mine set right next to the P on the hop." Haha thanks man.

And do you use .12 or .2?

ostbucks98 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 19, 2006, 03:49:39 AM »

Ive only used .12's and I have it set maybe a 1/8 inch from the front.

do u recomend this over the BE AUG?

ostbucks98 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 28, 2006, 06:40:14 PM »

Yes this blows the aug away.I bought a 10 pack of star 30 round mags and havent had any double feeds.

airsoft20500 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 28, 2006, 06:53:34 PM »

darn it i love the look of the aug do u have the aug or just gussing? If you know for a fact it is better i will get it

Novahawk21 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 28, 2006, 07:15:23 PM »

I just bought the same gun, but for some reason my hop up doesnt really work to well.
Whenever i even slightly adjust it towards "Hop" the bbs will roll out of the barrel or go about 5 feet before dropping.
Has anyone else heard of or had this problem?

Whitsel · « **Reply #17 on:** March 01, 2006, 01:39:15 AM »

Ive had this thing for about 3 days now and find it to be quite fun but I am trying to get into the gearbox at this moment and am stuck, if anyone can tell me how to remove the selector switch, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

You have to pop out the "button" on the selector pivot and once it is done you can access the screw underneath it.

Has anyone else had probs with the hop up on this gun, or is it just mine?

The hop on mine works great, the bbs start curving a bit to the right or left after about 60 feet every few shots, but that's it. However, i can get the bbs traveling perfectly straight for 100 feet before they start dropping, that's a great hop-up system for an lpeg. What's wrong with your hop-up, is it inconsistant, making the bbs curve, or what? Maybe i can help.

airsoft20500 · « **Reply #21 on:** March 01, 2006, 07:33:46 PM »

so what is the range on this badass(my next gun)? not effective range but just before the bb's are about half a foot off of the ground.i heard 110 feet!!!!!!!

Captain_Kev · « **Reply #22 on:** March 01, 2006, 09:45:27 PM »

Yeah, 110 feet sounds about right. I use .2s, and that's about what range i can get. With .12s you may be able to get some more range, but accuracy goes down, so i don't reccomend those. Effective range, in case you wanted to know, is about 80 to 90 feet, i've hit people from farther but luck had a lot to do with it. Bottom line: amazing range for an lpeg.

airsoft20500 · « **Reply #23 on:** March 01, 2006, 09:47:17 PM »

k thx now i will definatly by this gun now

The problem is when i even slightly increase the hop up, the bbs loose range and power drastically. Most of the time they just go about 15 ft with the hop up barely on. However, without it i get about 90 feet before it drops. I returned it and got another of the same gun, but that one had the same problem.
Would installing a prometheus "soft type" or "hard type" hop up bucking help here?
