If you want the full tabletop details on the G&G RK Beta AK AEG, check my Table Top Video, it covers features, controls and build in close-up. For this Field Test Shooting Video I moved into the Replica Airguns indoor sea-can range to run practical checks: chronograph testing to measure real-world velocity with field-weight BBs, then live-fire accuracy checks in both semi-auto and sustained full-auto to see how it behaves under realistic use.
Starting with the chrono work, for the G&G RK Beta AK AEG Airsoft Rifle I ran seven shots through my Chronograph using .25-gram BBs (I usually test with the slightly heavier .25s because they better represent what players use in the field rather than ultra-light test rounds). G&G rates the rifle at about 390 fps with .20-gram BBs, so I expected a lower result with .25g ammo, which is exactly what I got. My seven-shot string read: 371, 372, 370, 371, 349, 369 and 370, an average of about 367 fps. Only one shot dropped below 350 fps and the rest clustered right around 370, so velocity was consistent and predictable for a field setup and close to the claimed 390 even with heavier rounds.
For accuracy I placed a fresh pepper target to my ammo trap at 30 feet and fired a 10-round semi-rested string: hands braced on a sandbag up front and seated on a stool at the rear for a repeatable hold. Out of the box, using the open sights, I put most shots into a tight ~1.5-inch group with just one flyer just outside the main cluster. Hits were slightly high and a touch right of center, not surprising given there’s essentially no refined rear sight on this sample, so I was eyeballing the aim a bit. I then switched to full auto and basically shot until the spring tension softened, well over 100 rounds went into the trap. As expected the group opened up under sustained fire, but impacts still concentrated in roughly the same zone as the 10-shot semi-auto grouping earlier, roughly a 3-inch spread overall. Imagine how much tighter those strings would get with a proper optic or red dot fitted.
My take: it’s refreshing to test out an AK-style AEG instead of another AR-variant, the G&G RK Beta AK AEG Airsoft Rifle feels beefier and more planted, and that solid construction pays off in handling and perceived durability. The chrono numbers and on-target accuracy with .25g BBs put the rifle right in the sweet spot for short-to-mid-range field work, and performance remained respectable even without a precision sighting system. You’ll want to add a red dot or other optic to unlock the rifle’s full potential, but if you’re after a compact, rugged AK AEG that shoots consistently and groups well under both semi and full auto, the G&G RK Beta AK is worth any extra outlay.
