Type:AEG Airsoft Rifles Manufacturer: G&G. Model:G&G ARP9 3.0P Materials: Metal and plastic. Weight: 4.4 pounds (2 kg). Total Length: 16.5/21.3 inches (42/54 cm). Barrel: 5 inches (12.8 cm) barrel non-rifled. Propulsion: AEG. Action: Single action semi & 3 round burst. Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB’s. Ammunition Capacity: Mid cap 68 round four channel magazine. FPS: 380 fps.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the G&G ARP9 3.0P AEG Pistol Caliber Airsoft Carbine is short and light as it is basically a simple electric on/off switch that completes a circuit and tells the motor to turn, this then activates the cycling of the spring piston. For this reason there is no real creep or feel of a release. When you get to a preset point in the trigger, the motor circuit is closed allowing for either semi or burst shooting modes, depending on your selector switch position at the time.The G&G ARP9 3.0P AEG Pistol Caliber Airsoft Carbine does have a Vertical Trigger For Enhanced Shooting Control .
Accuracy: I will be making a dedicated Field Test Shooting Video for the G&G ARP9 3.0P AEG Pistol Caliber Airsoft Carbine to find out what the real word velocity is in fps. I will also test the accuracy shooting a paper target in both semi and full auto setup 30 feet away. For now I have no idea what to expect but as this is most certainly not a low cost Airsoft AEG Rifle, I am hoping for good results and generally with G&G products they perform well in testing.
Build Quality: The build quality of the G&G ARP9 3.0P AEG Pistol Caliber Airsoft Carbine is good, G&G Airsoft Rifles in general are well built and comparable to higher priced Airsoft rifles in terms of overall quality. The receiver is plastic but the weight feels good adn there is metal in the sights, hinges, trigger, magazine release, selector switch, magazine release, bolt release, dust cover, charging handled, the barrel assembly and other internal components.
Realism: The G&G ARP9 3.0P AEG Pistol Caliber Airsoft Carbine is a 1 to 1 scale Airsoft reproduction of thea troika compact ARP9. I’m not sure if it is based on exactly one specific brand or type, but is more or less a stylized version designed and built by G&G. Most of the mechanical parts work similar to a real steel version so for training purposes it would function similarly. There is no recoil as it is an AEG Airsoft Rifle.
Pros:
Nice and compact fro any CQB style shooting.
Very sturdy polymer receiver.
Quad channel magazine for flawless BB loading.
Pre-Installed ETU 2.0 (Electronic Trigger Unit) And a programmable MOSFET that protects the battery from over-discharge.
Short M-LOK Rail System for easy attachment of tactical accessories, along with recessed threads for flash hiders or tracers.
Non-Retractable, side folding stock, allowing for seamless movement in CQB situations. Also conceals the battery.
Programmable firing modes: Full Auto Or 3-Round Burst.
Quick Change Spring Guide For Fast FPS Adjustment.
Cons:
No battery and charger included.
Lower capacity mid cap magazine requires more frequent loading.
Battery size limitations.
Comments:
The G&G ARP9 3.0P AEG Pistol Caliber Airsoft Carbine would be perfect if you’re looking fro a full features AR styled AEG but want it in a more compact format. Not only is the magazine a lot less bulky but the entire Airsoft rifle is setup to be short and light weight with its folding stock and super short barrel. I hope the smaller size does not affect performance in any way but we will find out when I get to my Field Test Shooting video for it down the road. I do really like the l look and size and feel it is a very unique product suitable for just about any situation.
If you are looking for all the details and specifications for the Specna Arms SA-FX11 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle, then make sure to watch my Table Top Video that I have already posted. In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out the Specna Arms SA-FX11 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle in the Replica Airguns Indoor Sea Can Shooting Range to find out what the actual velocity is and how accurate it is shooting in both semi and full auto.
Starting with my velocity test, I shot 5 plus rounds though my Chronograph using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s and then averaged them out. I generally use .20 gram Airsfot BB’s but I ran out so I went with the slightly heavier .25 gram BB’s. Specna Arms claims around 380 fps using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s so I was expecting a bit below the rated claim. I did manage to average a nice 362 fps with the slowest shot hitting 245 fps and the fastest shot hitting 366 fps, most were int he 360’s by the way.
For the next portion of the Field Test Shooting Video I placed a fresh pepper target on my Airgun Trap 30 feet down range and first shot 10 rounds into it using a semi rested shooting position with my hands resting on a sand bag up front, and sitting on a stool in the back. I got an impressive 1.75 inch grouping that was slightly low and to the right but this can be easily sorted out using the fully adjustable sights. I then switched up to full auto I performed a partial mag dump of around 50-75 rounds. The grouping did not really get any larger, perhaps at most around 2 inches. I was very happy with these results.
I have to say for a $200 Canadian (at the time of this video) AEG Airsoft Rifle, it performs like similar much higher priced AEG’s, but at a fraction of the price! If you are looking for a more lower cost and more traditional AR 15 platform that is not over the top moderned out, then the Specna Arms SA-FX11 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle is ideal, and if you do want to update it down the road, you certainly could as it is all based on the AR 15 platform. You will need to make sure to add a battery and charging system to your order if you don’t already have one, along with bag if Airsoft BB’s. The .25 gram Airsoft BB’s I was using performed really well in it.
Before I get into this Field Test Shooting Video for the Bug-A-Salt 3.0, make sure to watch my Table Top Video Review for it where I go into more details and specifications along with some nice close up video of it. In this Field Test Outdoor Shooting Video I test out the Bug-A-Salt 3.0 on some wrapping paper (Wrapping Tissue Paper) from various distances to see what damage the Bug-A-Salt 3.0 does to it. You do really need to get in pretty close to see significant damage, but if you where a small bug you would at bare minimum be stunned and immobilized waiting for that fatal kill shot.
I was hoping to go on a kind of Bug Safari Hunt out in the yard, so I did a dry run without my cameras running and I quickly found out that bugs in the wild are extremely elusive. They much prefer the comfort of your home which is of course the ideal location for using the Bug-A-Salt 3.0, but not great for shooting a video…
I was not able to record velocity or accuracy for that matter using the Bug-A-Salt 3.0 as it is more like a salt shotgun but as fate would have it, one very unlucky fly did land near by while I was recording, and it met its fate for the sake of this video. I also vaporized some butter cups (These are small yellow flowers that grow wild in the grass). All in all I was able to showcase the effectiveness of the Bug-A-Salt 3.0. My advice is to get in nice and close if you want a one shot kill, or you will have to take some follow up mercy shots.
In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out the real world shooting performance of the Specna Arms SA-FX02 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle by shooting 5 rounds through my Chronograph and averaging them out. I then shot the Specna Arms SA-FX02 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle in both semi auto and full auto to find out what kind of groupings I can achieve shooting at a paper target setup 30 feet away. I’ve already made my Table Top Video where I go into the details and specifications along with some closer in video, so if that is more what you are looking for, then checkout my Table Top Video Review here.
Being an AEG Airsoft rifle the Specna Arms SA-FX02 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle is somewhat expected to get consistent velocity readings as there is no effect on an AEG when it comes to the gun cooling down from either Gas or CO2 and the velocity dropping. I chose .25 gram Airsfot BB’s since I was out of .20 gram Airsoft BB’s on this day, so I would expect a little bit higher velocities if using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s, so keep that in mind with this test. As expected I got very close readings when I shot 5 rounds through the Chronograph to get an average for them. Here is each shot listed in order and then my 5 shot average velocity: 361, 360, 365, 364, 361 averaging 362 fps. All within 4 fps of each other, kind of as expected but still very good. You can swap out the spring with the included M90 spring for somewhat lower velocities if you like.
Since the Specna Arms SA-FX02 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle can shoot in both semi and full auto, I tested it first using the built in pop-up sights shooting 10 rounds in semi auto, again using the .25 gram Airsoft BB’s and it shot a nice accurate 2 inch grouping at my target setup 30 feet away. I do use a rested shooting position sitting on a stool in the back and my hands rested on a sandbag up front which still includes a bit of human factor but not a lot. I did not adjust the sights at all and shot the Specna Arms SA-FX02 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle right out of the box. It did shoot about 5-6 inches low on my target setup 30 feet away, but was good left to right. I could easily adjust my aim point using the adjustments on the pop-up sights or through a red dot or optical scope on it. My Full Auto test was also very accurate with the grouping not really opening up at all, even with an additional 50 or so full auto shots! This may be one of my most accurate full auto Airsoft Rifles?
The Specna Arms SA-FX02 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle is a good value AEG Airsoft Rifle made for both beginners and seasoned Airsoft enthusiasts. It performs really good with quality internals where they are needed, and it is nice and compact with three color choices, black, black and tan and the one I used here in pink and black. If you are just starting out you can’t really go wrong with the Specna Arms SA-FX02 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle when considering price verses performance. As a more advanced Airsoft player you may just want something to use when you know it may get a beat up or exposed to harsh environments, so why not pickup something you don’t have to be as concerned about? Either way a great choice based on price and performance alone.
