Type: Full Blowback CO2 BB Pistol. Manufacturer:Distributed by Umarex. Model:Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS. Materials: Metal & Polymer. Weight: 1.5 pounds (655 grams). Total Length: 6.9 inches (17.5cm). Barrel: Smooth bore 3.5 inch barrel (9cm). Propulsion: CO2 x 1. Action: Semi auto blowback, single action only trigger. Ammunition Type: 4.5mm steel BB's. Ammunition Capacity: 17 round drop out full size metal magazine. FPS: Claimed 290.
rigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is very similar to a real steel Glock Pistol as the full blowback action allows for a true single action only trigger and it has similar take-up, weight and release which makes this the perfect trainer if you own a similar Glock. Even the trigger safety is functional and not just for show.
Accuracy: At this point I have not shot the Umarex Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS CO2 Blowback BB Pistol so I can only quote what Umarex is saying in terms of FP2 which is around 190. That may seem on the low side for a 4.5 BB Pistol even for a blowback Airgun. This is because the blowback is a true full blowback similar to what you commonly find with Airsoft Blowback Airguns This is not a super efficient design as much of the CO2 usage goes to cycling the action of the slide so less is allocated to going down the barrel and propelling the Steel BB. This type of system also uses more CO2 per shot so it will use up CO2 fast.
Build Quality: TheUmarex Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS CO2 Blowback BB Pisto being a licensed Glock Pistol means it has to conform to Glocks high standard so it is made very well with excellent fit and finish. Like there real steel version the slide is metal and the frame is a polymer, of course there are other metal components throughout like the magazine, inner and outer barrel, slide catch release and many of the internal parts.
Realism: The Umarex Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS CO2 Blowback BB Pistol absolutely looks the part of a Glock 19 MOS. When sitting on the table and even holding it in your hand, you are going to think it's the real deal until of course you drop the magazine and see that it is a CO2 mag. Mostly everything operates like a real Glock 19 MOS and because it is full blowback the slide cycles all the way back and forth and the slide spring is nice and heavy so there is no lag to it, it does not have the clanky metallic sound a lot of CO2 Blowback pistols have which adds even further to the realism. You can even fully feel strip this version just lie a real Glock 19 MOS.
Pros:
Ultra realistic Replica in looks and function.
Good weight and feel to it, build quality seems excellent.
Really nice looking and full featured replica of the original Glock 19 Gen 5 MOC.
Fully Glock licensed via Umarex
Easy to see white dot sights front and back.
Recessed barrel for added realism.
Accessory rail under barrel for adding a laser or tactical light.
MOS (Modular Optical System) on slide for adding a red dot.
Comes with MOC adapter plates.
Full size drop out metal magazine that holds the CO2 and 17 4.5mm steel BB’s.
Slide spring feels really snappy and firm, more than most full blowback Airguns, so it should have a nice heavy blowback recoil feel.
Warning instruction are nice and discreet under trigger guard.
Fully field strippable.
Great feeling single action only trigger as the blowback pre-cocks the internal hammer/strike.
Working trigger safety like the real steel version.
Has an added Cross Bolt safety on the trigger.
Cons:
FPS could be higher but this is generally the case with a full blowback Airgun like this, very similar to Airsoft Full blowback design.
Sights are non-adjustable which is common with low cost airguns like this one.
No built in serial number safety.
Comments:
I was excited when I first saw the Glock 17 and 19 Gen 5 MOS 4.5mm Steel BB Blowback Airguns at SHOT Show this year adn have been really looking forward to getting my hands on them. Essentially the Umarex Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS CO2 Blowback BB Pisto is built very much like an Airsoft Full Blowback Airgun but it just shoots 4.5mm Steel BB’s rather than 6mm Airsoft BB’s which some people prefer if you are not so much into Airsoft games. Along with being full blowback the MOS system allows for adding a red dot to the rear of the slide so this gives you even more option when adding accessories to the Umarex Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS CO2 Blowback BB Pistol. I am pretty sure this one is going to be my favorite Umarex Glock but I’ll know for sure after I Field Test it!
I also got a few accessor items from a company called GEAR STOCK, Some CO2 in 12 and 88 gram along with some 6mm aluminum Airsoft BB’s. A very cool rechargeable red and green laser that comes in a nice hard shell case and it has a picatinny rail on the bottom she you can stack a second accessory under it.
Here are some links and specs for the Airguns I show off in this mystery box video:
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.
Type: Blowback CO2 Airsoft Pistol. Manufacturer: Distributed by KJ Works. Model:1911 TBC. Materials: Mostly all Metal. Weight: 2.2 pounds (980 grams). Total Length: 8.6 inches (218mm) Barrel: 4.25 inches (108mm) metal non-rifled. Propulsion: CO2 x 1. Action: Semi auto blowback, SAO trigger. Ammunition Type: .6mm plastic Airsoft BB’s. Ammunition Capacity: 24 round drop out full size metal magazine. FPS: Claimed 360+.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol is exactly what you would expect from a similar real steel 1911, it’s super short and light, the take-up is almost non-existent with a super light release. There is no adjustment on it but I don’t feel it is needed at all as this is not a competition Airgun, KJWorks does make and sell 1911’s more suited for competition shooting. There is just something about a 1911 trigger that I love!
Accuracy: At this point I have not shot the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol or even made my Field Test Shooting Performance Video. I have shot a fair amount of KJWorks Full Blowback Airsoft Pistols and they have in all seemed to perform very well for me. So I’m confident when I get to the Field Test Shooting Video for the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol I will not be disappointed in it.
Build Quality: The KJWorks line of Airsoft Guns are known for their quality build and attention to detail, the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol is no exception. It is a mostly all metal Airgun with the acceptation of the grips and gas tube, and perhaps a couple other small internal parts? Fit and finish is bang on and the slide spring feels nice and firm, which should result in a nice crisp blowback action. There is almost no slide wiggle with the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol which again speaks to the quality and workmanship of KJWorks products.
Realism: I’m not really sure how you could get a more realistic Airsoft Pistol than what you have here with the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol. It is 1 to 1 scale and functions almost identically to a real steel 1911 A1. It has full blowback operation and can be field stripped fully top to bottom. Even the grip safety is required in order to shoot it. This version in order to fit the flared out CO2 cartridges does have indents in the magwell which is different than what you would ind on a traditional 1911 but it is not super obvious.
Pros:
Pretty much all metal pistol with good weight to it.
Full heavy blowback operation.
Excellent fit and finish as always with KJWorks pistols.
High capacity full size drop out magazine that holds the Airsoft BB’s and CO2. (Can get Green Gas mags also).
Comes with barrel extension and threaded barrel tip.
Comes in all black and OD green two tone finish.
Working backstop safety
Nice short and light true 1911 style single action only trigger.
Fully field strip-able.
Cons:
Sight are non-adjustable and do not have any white or fiber inserts.
No rail mounting options.
CO2 magazine sticks out a bit.
Comments:
If you are looking for a traditional 1911 styled semi auto Colt Pistol and don’t want a more modernized 1911 then the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol has that classic look but with a bit of an upgraded magazine and the ability to add a mock compensator mainly to protect and hide the barrel extension which when added will increase the velocity and perhaps also accuracy. I like the all black version but you can also get one in two tone OD Green for a more contrasted look. Looking down the sights will be your biggest challenge with the KJWorks Full Metal 1911 TBC CO2 Airsoft Pistol, as it has standard post and notch sights that do not have any white dots or marking to assist with aiming. It will be an upgrade for sure from a lessor expensive KWC Full Blowback 1911 and I feel ti is worth the additional money especially if you are a big 1911 fan like me.
In this Unboxing Video I checkout a mid sized mystery box and find some new products inside that I will be making future Table Top and Field Test Shooting Videos for. In this Unboxing Preview Video I mainly talk a look at each item mostly for the fist time and I go over some of the basics for each of them. IN my upcoming full review videos I will go way more into detail so make sure to watch those videos when they come out.
So what did I get in this months box of goodies? The first item I unpacked was the KJWorks 1911-TBC CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol. A firmly traditional 1911 with a single stack magazine configuration at least in terms of external size. I am pretty sure the actual Airsoft BB’s will stack side by side to some degre as it does hold 24 rounds. It also comes with a barrel extension and the ability to add a much suppresser to it to cover the barrel extension I would imagine. It is also available in an OD green receiver version.
The next item I grabbed from the box was the NcSTAR FlipDot Mod. 02 Flip-up Red Dot Sight specifically designed with a MOS compatible mounting plate for Glock Pistols like the new Umarex Glocks I checked out at this years SHOT Show. You can mount this compact Flip-up Red Dot sight directly to the slide of these new Glocks and it also comes with some adaptor plate option for attaching it to a Picatinny Rail.
The next item I took a look at was the Umarex Combat Zone Enforcer Airsoft Pistol. A low cost adn simplistic mostly plastic CO2 powered lightweight Airgun with an all metal 15 round stick magazine and a 400 fps claimed velocity. It’s not going to be the most exciting Airgun but there is very little to go wrong and being so light weight makes it super durable in the even of a drop or fall.
Last but perhaps the oust interesting item that came in this months mystery box was the G&G ARP9 3.0P AEG Airsoft Rifle. I kind of butchered the name but I do talk a pretty good look at it in they video. The G&G ARP9 3.0P is a compact AEG Rifle (at least with the stock folded out). It has a unique magazine where the Airsoft BB’s load into 4 separate channels, I am assuming this helps to get more ammo in the magazine (300 rounds) and make it smoother so hopefully less or no jamming. The G&G ARP9 3.0P feels solid in the hand and well made, it also has a claimed velocity of 370 fps which is perfect.
I look forward to making my full Table Top and Shooting Review videos of each of these items so make sure to check back if you are interested in any of them…
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.
This is part 2 of my 2 part Field Test for the Umarex P2P HDP 50 Compact CO2 Rubber Ball Less Lethal Pistol. In this video (Part 2), I test out 2.7 gram rubber/steel balls (metal core) to find out what the velocity and accuracy is along with the overall joules energy rating. Umarex claims around 11 joules using the 1.6 gram standard rubber balls, I do expect less velocity and possibly less energy downrange with the heavier 2.7 gram ammunition. While I test out the velocity with my Chronograph, I also aim at a paper target setup 30 feet away to see just how accurate this ammo type is, and hopefully I get all 4 of the max rounds close to where I am aiming on the target.
Starting with velocity or power, I was hoping to get into the 250+ fps so I could get somewhere near the claimed 11 joules, but the Umarex P2P HDP 50 Compact CO2 Less Lethal Pistol shot more in the higher 100’s resulting in a three shot average of 176 fps. I did chronograph all 4 shots and they were somewhat close in velocity to each other: 159, 187, 176, 180 fps. Even then the average Joules was only around 4 which is a pretty far off the claimed 11 joules and even less than the 5 Joules I got using the standard all rubber 2.6 gram rubber balls. I did use a brand new CO2 and it was not exactly cold in my testing environment so I am too sure what caused the lower results from both ammo types?
While I was recording the velocity I was simultaneously recording the same 4 shots on the target and I did mange to get all 4 shots on my 8x11 paper target fairly well centered with a grouping with three of the 4 shots all within about 2.5 inches of each other adn very well center to the bullseye. One shot did hit a bit lower extending the group to around 5 inches. If this was an intruder I would have for sure been able to hit them easily at 30 feet away all within their main torso area. So in terms of accuracy with both ammo types, the Umarex P2P HDP 50 Compact CO2 Less Lethal Pistol was competent when using both the standard rubber balls and the rubber/steel balls I used in this review.
As mentioned in video 1 of this 2 part series, I do like the smaller size of the Umarex P2P HDP 50 Compact CO2 Less Lethal Pistol over the non-compact version but it does seem to be down significantly on power as compared to its larger brother adn this was the case using both ammo types. I am not sure if it would be a good deterrent based on the power output I got in my Field Tests. I am sure it would not want to be on the receiving end of this Less Lethal Pistol, perhaps it the intended vital was not wearing any thick clothing it would deter them but even a light jacket would probably stop most of the impact. Maybe at close range some head and face shots would get the job done, but in the heat of the moment I would not count on being able to make those type of consistent shots. My advice is if you want to use the the Umarex P2P HDP 50 Compact CO2 Rubber Ball Less Lethal Pistol as intended, then go with the non compact version as it does hit the claimed power rating and then some.
This is part 1 of my 2 part Field Test for the Umarex P2P HDP 50 Compact CO2 Rubber Ball Less Lethal Pistol. In this video (Part 1), I test out the included 1.6 gram solid rubber balls to find out what the velocity and accuracy is along with the overall joules rating. Umarex claims around 11 joules using the 1.6 gram rubber balls. While I test out the velocity with my Chronograph, I also aim at a paper target setup 30 feet downrange to see just how accuracy it is, and if I can get all 4 of the max rounds close to where I am aiming. In Part 2 I swap out the 1.6 gram rubber balls for 2.7 gram rubber'/steel balls that have a metal internal core.
Starting with velocity or power, I was hoping to get into the 300+ fps so I could get somewhere near the claimed 11 joules, but the Umarex P2P HDP 50 Compact CO2 Less Lethal Pistol shot more in the mid 200’s resulting in a three shot average of 255 fps. I did chronograph all 4 shots but the last shot was really low for some reason, so I tossed that one out to give the Umarex P2P HDP 50 Compact CO2 Less Lethal Pistol the benefit of the doubt. Even then the average joules was only 5 which is a far cry to the claimed 11 joules. I did use a brand new CO2 and it was not exactly cold in my testing environment so I am too sure what caused the lower result?
As I mentioned, while I was recording the velocity I was simultaneously recording the same shots on the target and I did mange to get all 4 shots on my 8x11 paper target fairly well centered with a grouping of about 6-7 inches apart. If this was an intruder I would have for sure been able to hit them easily at 30 feet away all within their main torso area. So in terms of accuracy the Umarex P2P HDP 50 Compact CO2 Less Lethal Pistol was very usable.
I do like the smaller size of the Umarex P2P HDP 50 Compact CO2 Less Lethal Pistol over the non-compact version but it does seem to be down significantly on power as compared to its larger brother. I am not sure if it would be a good deterrent based on the power output I got in this Field Test. I am sure it would not be enjoyable being on the receiving end of this Less Lethal Pistol, but if the intended victim is wearing any type of heavy clothing I don’t think they would be that concerned by this Airgun. Maybe at close range some head and face shots would get the job done, but in the heat of the moment I would not count on being able to make those type of consistent shots. My advice is if you want to use the the Umarex P2P HDP 50 Compact CO2 Rubber Ball Less Lethal Pistol as intended, then go with the non compact version as it does hit the claimed power rating and then some.
Type:Airsoft AEG Rifle. Manufacturer: Specna Arms. Model: SA-FX11 FLEX. Materials: Nylon Reinforced Polymer, Zinc Alloy, and Steel Construction. Weight: 5.4 pounds (2.45 kg). Total Length: 27.5-31 inches (70-79cm). Barrel Length: 11.5 inches (29cm). Barrel: Inner 6.03mm tight bore barrel non rifled. Propulsion: AEG. Action: Semi and full auto single action only (SA ETU™ Optical Electronic System: Optimizes trigger response and improves lifespan). Hop-up: Rotary adjustable hop-up via ejection port. Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB's. Ammunition Capacity: 380 round full size drop out AR style plastic magazine. FPS: 380.
Trigger Pull: The trigger on the Specna Arms SA-FX11 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle is as you would expect from an AEG Airsfot rifles as it is essentially an on/off trigger that completes a circuit that signals the MOSFET controller, in this case it is the X-ASR from the Polish GATE brand. Which is claimed to improve the response to the trigger and the life of the electronics and battery. The left side controls offer safety, semi auto and full auto positions for easy access to all shooting options.
Accuracy: I have not shot the Specna Arms SA-FX11 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle so far or tested it out in the Sea Can indoor shooting range. So I have no real idea in terms of accuracy or if it is close to the claimed 380 fps be see no reason why it should not easily achieve that velocity and also get good accuracy results based on other Specna Arms Field Test Shooting Reviews I have already made. I will be making a full dedicated Field Test Shooting Video for it as soon as I am able to, so stay posted for that one…
Build Quality: The Specna Arms SA-FX11 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle is on the lower price point but don’t let that make you think it is also lower in quality. There have been some compromises made so you will see a bit more plastic in this build, but even then it is high quality Nylon Fiber enforced plastic. Aluminum and Zink alloy are used for the barrel, flame damper, enlarged reloading handle, dummy breech block and manipulators and charging handle. All screws, pins, the cartridge ejection window and the dummy slide are made of steel. It also comes with a Factory-installed MOSFET X-ASR from the Polish GATE brand and SA ETU™ Optical Electronic System that optimizes trigger response and improves lifespan of this product.
Realism: The Specna Arms SA-FX11 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle is based on the AR M15 platform which makes it very ergonomic and easy to use but a bit more classic and not as modern as some of the newer AR15/16’s. You have full realistic controls just like you would find on a real steel version of the same rifle (charging handle, dust cover, safety selector, magazine release, adjustable sights front and back, removable carry handle. You can also customize the Specna Arms SA-FX11 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle with real steel accessories like the rear stock, pistol grips, you could even put a quad rail on it if you want to. Being that it has a plastic receiver it does come in a little bit lighter but not by a lot.
Pros:
Classic AR M15 look to it if you prefer that style, not overly modern.
Quality components throughout even in the lower priced point (FLEX).
ESA™ quick spring change system makes spring changes quick and easy.
Comes with two springs for potential indoor and outdoor usage.
Plastic parts are Nylon Fiber reenforced making them very durable.
Fully adjustable peep sight with two aperture positions.
No orange tip.
6 position rear stock for various shoulder pull lengths.
Metal V2 Gearboxes with metal gears and mostly all metal parts inside.
Easy access to motor for any possible trouble shooting you may need to do.
SA ETU™ Optical Electronic System: Optimizes Trigger Response And Improves The Lifespan.
Factory-installed MOSFET X-ASR from the Polish GATE brand.
Cons:
Plastic receiver.
Not many mounting locations for adding accessories unless you take the carry handle off, then you could add a red dot or optical sighting system.
You will need a more compact and specific battery size/type with this style of AR AEG as the battery goes in the small diameter buffer tube.
The Specna Arms SA-FX11 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle in my opinion coming in at just over $200 at the time of the making of this video and has an extremely good value based on price versus what you get in quality and features for this AEG Airsoft Rifle. Other than having a bit more plastic build, quality is excellent throughout. the electrons and gearbox also are not entry level by any means, and this all comes from the well proven Specna Arms brand. If you are OK with a little bit more dated look (which I kind of like being a bit more classic myself), then this is a great AEG Airsoft Rifle for the money. Later on if you want to add some more modern components to bring it back to a more recent decade, than you could easily do so.
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.
