Han - See all my reviews (REAL NAME) This review is from: Soft Air Kalishnikov Tactical AK47 Electric Powered Airsoft Rifle (Sports) This airsoft gun is hands down the best airsoft AEG out there! Like its real world counterpart, this full metal AK-47 showcases the best qualities that makes a good airsoft gun: accurate, high-powered, reliable, excellent construction and inexpensive. ================= Accuracy: Out of the box, this gun is fairly accurate, although the inner bore is something around 6.08 mm (which is a fairly loose tolerance for high-end airsoft guns). Coming from a sniper platform, where I'm used to the BB flying to precisely where the crosshairs are lined up at 200 feet, this tolerance was not okay for me. I'm really keen on exact precision - anyone else who doesn't need exact precision will be perfectly happy with the stock inner barrel since you can just spray a narrow cone of bullets at 600 rpm. Also, most AEGs will come with an inner bore around 6.05mm to 6.10mm - it's not just this gun, it's almost any gun. For me, all I had to do was get a 6.01 mm tight bore [...] [...] for $[...] and 30 minutes of install later, this gun was firing BBs at 600 rounds per minute with the same precision as my L96A1 sniper with a 150 foot range! In addition, you will find that pound for pound, the AK-47 rifles with the 455 mm long inner barrel will do significantly better than any M4 or AK74s out there. Why? The M4s all have a 363 mm inner barrel, which is under the minimum of 400 mm necessary for the BBs to have truly stabilized their flight path. You will see that with the same inner barrel inner diameter, the AK-47 will fire significantly better groupings than its M4 counterpart. M16s do just fine against the AK, but you'll have to spend at least $[...] for just the gun and then $[...] for the inner barrel upgrade. Why pay for more? High-power: This AEG fires near the maximum allowable speed for airsoft skirmishes straight out of the box: nearly 400 FPS. It has the same range as my former AGM MP001 sniper and with the tight-bore upgrade, the BBs fly even a little faster as less air leaks out around the BB! You can't really upgrade this gun unless you want to risk being disqualified at airsoft events with a M120 spring. Reliable

Don't let the fact that this gun is made in China fool you. In fact the only downside I've seen with this is the big ugly red sticker they put on the rear of the gun (hard to remove). It's made by Cybergun/Softair. It's full metal and has a metal gearbox and also HEAVY and solid. The only plastic parts are the stock and the magazine but they are durable enough. It shoots very well hard and fast. It has a good ROF and FPS is excellent. I use .25g BB's which improve the accuracy. The front and rear sights may need some adjustment but they give you a key to adjust them. Once thats done it is extremely accurate. I mounted a 9 x 32 scope but needed an extension riser to bring the eye relief closer to me. The problem being the rails are mounted towards the front half of the gun only because the battery cover is in the top rear. It was not an issue with the riser extension which bring the rails over the top of the battery cover. The battery will take some getting used to putting in. Its a tight fit and the cover is hard to line up at first. The folding stock folds over the safety selector switch making it a pain to switch back and forth. All in all I'm still giving the gun 5 stars because it really is an amazing gun at a great price.

So first off I wanna say this gun looks amazing. It feels real, really good weight and sturdiness. But thats about where it ends for me. The instruction manual was one of the least explanatory things id ever seen. The mechanism to get into the battery is very difficult to get back on. But the worst was the actual battery. It was not explained at all how to use it, and I had to watch the linked video on here in order to figure it out. It says to push the connecting piece and wires into the gun, but mine wouldnt move in. When I finally was able to jam it all in, the gun would make the sound I expected, so I could tell the battery worked. However the gun wouldnt shoot. No matter what I did the gun wouldnt shoot. Idk, maybe it was just a defective battery or something. (If the battery would work better the gun would be an easy 5 stars btw)
