Welcome back for another field test! Today I am taking the E&L AKN 75 AEG Airsoft Rifle out to the range to see what it can do. If you want a deep dive into the specifications, materials, and a close-up look at the hardware, make sure to watch our dedicated Table Top Review. For this video, however, I am focusing entirely on how this rifle performs when putting plastic to paper.
Velocity and Chronograph Performance
To get a baseline for power and consistency, I ran a string of shots through the chronograph using standard 0.25g Airsoft BBs. Here is how the E&L handled right out of the box:
Shot 1: 360 FPS
Shot 2: 358 FPS
Shot 3: 358 FPS
Shot 4: 358 FPS
Shot 5: 358 FPS
The consistency on this AEG is outstanding. After a slightly higher first shot, it locked exactly onto 358 FPS for the remainder of the test string.
One major surprise during the chrono test was the trigger system. Out of the box, the E&L AKN 75 AEG Airsoft Rifle operates with a binary-style double trigger, meaning it fires a round when you pull the trigger, and a second round when you release it. This feature makes it incredibly easy to rattle off rapid, successive shots even while staying in semi-automatic mode.
Downrange Accuracy at 30 Feet
Moving on to the accuracy portion of the review, I set up a fresh paper target exactly 30 feet downrange.
Semi-Automatic Testing: I fired 10 carefully aimed shots in semi-auto mode. The gun delivered an excellent 1.5-inch grouping. The cluster was perfectly centered left-to-right but landed slightly low on the paper. Because the rear sight was dialed down to its lowest notch, fixing this would simply be a matter of bumping up the sight elevation rather than adjusting the hop-up.
Full-Automatic Testing: I flipped the selector switch and dumped the rest of the magazine. The rifle chugged right along with a distinct, heavy sound, effortlessly shredding the target without skipping a beat.
Build Notes and Battery Fitment
This is an incredibly authentic-feeling replica. The combination of the real wood front handguard and the stamped steel folding rear stock gives the gun a fantastic, realistic weight.
However, you will need to be mindful of your battery choices. The battery compartment underneath the top dust cover is extremely tight and requires a specific, small nunchuck-style battery to close properly. For the purpose of getting this test done, I actually left the dust cover off of the E&L AKN 75 AEG Airsoft Rifle to fit the battery we had on hand. It doesn't affect performance, but it's something to keep in mind when purchasing accessories.
Final Thoughts
The E&L AKN 75 is a rugged, beautiful AEG that backs up its authentic looks with rock-solid consistency and great accuracy on the range.
