Specna Arms SA-FX11 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle Table Top Review

No Comments

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.

Specna Arms SA-FX02 FLEX AEG Airsoft Rifle Field Test Review

No Comments

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.

Specna Arms Edge SA-X01 AEG Airsoft Rifle Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: AEG Airsoft Rifles
Manufacturer: Specna Arms.
Model: Edge SA-X01
Materials: Mostly metal/aluminum.
Weight: 5.52 pounds ( 2.50 kg).
Total Length: 23.5-27 inches (597-686mm).
Barrel: 10.63 inch (270) inner 6.03mm tight bore barrel non rifled.
Propulsion: AEG.
Action: Single action semi & full auto.
Ammunition Type: .6mm plastic Airsoft BB’s.
Ammunition Capacity: High cap 380 round magazines.
FPS: 380 fps with installed spring, included M90 spring will be lower fps.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Specna Arms Edge SA-X01 AEG Airsoft Rifle is fairly shot and light, it is basically a simple off off switch as it is not mechanical but rather electric. For this reason there is no real creep or feel of a release. When you get to a point in the trigger you close a circuit that activates the electors motor cycling the spring.

Accuracy: At this time I have not made my Field Test Shooting Video or even shot the Specna Arms Edge SA-X01 AEG Airsoft Rifle, I am planning to make a video for this rifle next week if all goes well. I have reviewed other Specna Ames Core products in the past and made Field test Videos for them so perhaps check one of those videos out in the time being for a bit of a heads up of what you can expect from the Specna Arms Core SA-J73 AEG Airsoft Rifle.

Build Quality: Specna Arms Airsoft Rifles are made of good quality no matter if you go with the Core or Edge versions. You will still get a quality product with quality materials and metal parts where you need them. The Edge Series offers upgrades like more metal parts, improved gearboxes and electronics along with additional accessories but you pay a bit rmeo for the added quality and add ons.

Realism: The Specna Arms Edge SA-X01 AEG Airsoft Rifle is based on the AR15 or M16 platform of course in a very modern compact PDW styled. It looks and feels the part for sure with lots of working parts including the safety, selector switch, charging handle, dust cover, adjustable rear stock, pop-up front and rear sights as you would expect. Most of the hardware should be interchangeable with a real steel AR if you want to personalize the look of your Specna Arms Rifle.

Pros:

  • Very high quality product with quality components throughout (Already listed in Specifications).

  • 4 positions rear stock.

  • ESA™ quick spring change system makes spring changes quick and easy.

  • Comes with two springs for potential indoor and outdoor usage.

  • Almost all metal build.

  • Removable fully adjustable pop-up sights.

  • No orange tips on our Canada Store versions.

  • Lots of rial mounting options using M-LOK System..

  • Comes with a fore grip and deans connector and two magazines.

  • Easy access to motor for any possible trouble shooting you any need to do.

  • I love the compact size. perfect for close closer quarters situations.

Cons:

  • Much higher cost than Core Series.

  • Magazine capacity is low but comes with two magazine.

  • You will need a very specific compact battery setup for this Specna Arms model.

Comments:

I for sure like the look of the Specna Arms Edge SA-X01 AEG Airsoft Rifle, but more than that you get a really great Compact PDW Airsoft Rifle at a reasonable price with a ton of quality components and a mostly all metal build. Specna Arms even includes an additional magazine in the box. You could go with one of their Core series of Airsoft Rifles in a similar PDW and save a bit of money but if you can afford the upgrade then I would go for this version as you will not need to upgrade it in the future and that alone will save you some money over time. I would suggest adding a couple Lipo batters and a good charger to your shopping cart and maybe even an couple more magazines.

Specna Arms RRA SA-CO2 AEG Airsoft Rifle Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Airsoft Rifle.
Manufacturer: Specna Arms.
Model: RRA SA-CO2
Materials: Metal and Plastic.
Weight: 4.96 pounds (2.25 kilograms).
Length: 27.5-31 inches (699-787mm)
Barrel Length: 10.63 inches (270mm) inner 6.03mm tight bore non-rifled.
Propulsion: AEG.
Action: Semi & Full Auto SAO.
Ammunition Type: 6mm Airsoft BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: Mid Cap 450 rounds.
FPS: 410 using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s.

Trigger Pull: Like almost every other AEG Airsoft Rifle I’ve reviewed in the past, the trigger pull on the Specna Arms RRA SA-CO2 AEG Airsoft Rifle is a SAO with a light and short trigger feel. Most AEG Airsoft Rifles basically have a trigger that is an electrical on/off switch. The trigger pressure is not super light but for sure not heavy and the pull length is about a half centimeter long (quarter inch or so) and when you get to the end it basically actives the electric motor which compresses the spring allowing for semi or full auto shooting depending on what you have selected. Keep in mind higher voltage batteries will wind faster and make the hesitation shorter from the time you pull the trigger till the spring releases and shoots a BB.

Accuracy: In most cases I make my Table Top Review Video for each gun I review first, so I will not be able to share my experience of how this Specna Arms RRA SA-CO2 AEG Airsoft Rifle performs as that experience has not happened yet. I am planning to make my Field Test Shooting Video in a couple of weeks so stay posted for that video. You can watch a similar Specna Arms Core AEG Airsoft rifle video I have made previously showcasing a Core versus Edge series. The Specna Arms RRA SA-CO2 AEG Airsoft Rifle should performs about the same as a similar Core AEG Airsoft Rifle from Specna Arms.

Build Quality: Generally speaking from my past hands on with Sepcna Arms products both in Core and Edge version, they have been good in terms of quality and build. The Core versions will be a step down from the Edge version but they have still proven to perform well and hav a good overall build with decent internals no matter which version you decide to go with. I will say I did experience a problem with my Specna Arms RRA SA-CO2 AEG Airsoft Rifle when I pulled the charging handle back I had a fairly major malfunction with it. I am fairly sure the spring got jammed and now the charging handle will not spring back into forward resting position. This should not affect my Field Test Shooting Video as the only real purpose of this type of charging system is to open the dust cover and allow access to the hop-up system. I can still do this but need to pull back the hop door manually. Getting back to build quality, you get a plastic reacievr, buffer tube, carry handle, fore grip, magazine, rear stock and pistol grip. Metal can be found in most of the controls, the barrel and of course the trigger.

Realism: Other than the Specna Arms RRA SA-CO2 AEG Airsoft Rifle having a fair amount of plastic components it is a very realistic copy of a similar styled AR type Rifle. It will be a bit lighter but feels decent to hold and you can add a bit of mass by swapping out the carry hand and fore grip with metal versions.

Pros:

  • More classic AR15 look to it if you prefer that.

  • Quality components throughout even in the lower priced Core series.

  • ESA™ quick spring change system makes spring changes quick and easy.

  • Comes with two springs for potential indoor and outdoor usage.

  • Plastic parts are fiberglass reenforced making them very durable.

  • Fully adjustable peep sight with two aperture positions.

  • No orange tips on our Canada Store versions.

  • 6 position rear stock for varies 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 any need to do.

Cons:

  • Plastic receiver.

  • Charging handle had a major malfunction in my demo unit.

  • You will need a more compact and specific battery size/type with this style of AR AEG.

Comments:

It is unfortunate that my review version of the Specna Arms RRA SA-CO2 AEG Airsoft Rifle was defective, this can happen to any product ever high end Airguns. It does not happen very often thankfully and this would be the first time it has happened to me with a Specna Arms Product so don’t be too hard on them. Fortunately I should still be able to make my Field test Shooting Video and get that info out to everyone. As it stands I think the Specna Arms RRA SA-CO2 AEG Airsoft Rifle is well priced and good value (in 100% working condition of course). Personally I would look more at the Edge series as the quality is a for sure a big step up but not everyone has a big budget so get what works best for your needs and budget.

Krytac Warsport LVOA-C AEG Airsoft Rifle Field Test Review

No Comments

In this Filed Test Shooting Video for the Krytac Warsport LVOA-C AEG Airsoft Rifle I test out the claimed velocity and then the general accuracy in both semi and full auto to find out if spending top dollar gets you top results. If you want more information on specifications and details along with more close up video then make sure to watch my Krytac Warsport LVOA-C AEG Airsoft Rifle Table Top Review Video already uploaded.

Krytac claims the Warsport LVOA-C is able to shoot a velocity of around 390-410 fps using .20 gram Airsfot plastic BB’s and by God it does. I was able to get an average 6 shot result of 402 fps with the slowest shot hitting 400 fps and the fastest shot toping out at 404 fps. This is ideal for most Airsoft Game shooting situations, having enough power to shoot out at fairly far away targets without hopefully injuring anyone that may get shot closer in.

For my Accuracy Test of the Krytac Warsport LVOA-C AEG Airsoft Rifle I first shot 10 rounds into a fresh paper target placed 30 feet down range using a rested up front and sitting in the back shooting position. I. Was not able to use the rear stock as my battery configuration was too bulky and did not allow for this so not being able to shoulder the Krytac Warsport LVOA-C AEG was not ideal but I got it done. My 10 shot semi auto grouping resulted in a solid 1 inch grouping, I did have one round come out just a tad but that was more than likely human factor rather than the gun. In terms of shot placement out of the box the Krytac Warsport LVOA-C was almost right on sight with a good amount of shots in the bullseye but leaning a bit to the left and a smidge low. You could easily adjust the sights to be dead on as they are fully adjustable. I then repeated this test but in Full Auto and basically emptied the 300 round magazine amazingly quickly and this time my grouping spread out an additional inch to 2 inches. Remember this was for 200+ total rounds!

So do you get what you pay for? Sure you do, I would say this AEG Airsoft Rifle has one of the fastest rates of fire I have tested to date, it is almost like shotgun a gatling gun! Additionally I really like the mid/high cap magazine design that does not have a standard spring tensioner you need to wind between groups of shots. Basically just use a speed loader to fill it up and shoot till it’s empty. Overall performance was really good as the testing showed. I would like to get this AEG Airsoft rifle outside and test it out at longer ranges to see how it stacks up against a lower costs AEG Airlift Rifles. Maybe that will be my next video? But for now I can for sure recommend the Krytac Warsport LVOA-C AEG Airsoft Rifle to anyone looking for a high end AEG AR styled Airsoft Rifle.

BARRA Black Ops M4 Viper MK5 AEG Airsoft Rifle Field Test Review

No Comments

In this Field Test Shooting Review Video I try out the low cost BARRA Black Ops M4 Viper MK5 AEG Airsoft Rifle to see if you can actually get a decent performing AEG Airsoft Rifle for around $200 Canadian that comes with everything you need to get started including the battery, charger, cleaning rod and even a small bag of AIrsoft BB’s. As always I test the velocity and the accuracy so you can compare it to previous Field Test Videos I have made for similar AEG Airsoft guns, most being a lot more expensive. If you have not watched my Table Top Video Review then make sure to do so for specifications, details and more closeup video of the BARRA Black Ops M4 Viper MK5 AEG Airsoft Rifle.

Starting with the velocity, I ended up shooting 11 rounds through my Chronograph because I was a little bit in disbelief at all the duplicate fps shots I was getting (basically this means they where mostly all the same fps at 373) I did end up getting an 11 shot average of 373 fps with the slowest hitting 370 fsp and the fastest at 374, and again pretty much all the rest where right on 373 fps. I was using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s for this test which explains the lower than 420 fps claimed by the manufacturer using .12 gram BB’s. 373 fps, so 737 fps is right on point and very usable in most Airsoft game situations.

So with that really great velocity result in the books, I then moved on to my accuracy test. As always I setup a fresh paper target 30 feet downrange and shot in both semi and full auto to see what kind of groupings I could get from the BARRA Black Ops M4 Viper MK5 AEG Airsoft Rifle. I stayed with the .20 gram Airsoft BB’s and sat in a somewhat rested shooting position with a sandbag upfront and sitting on a stool in the back. My 10 shot semi-auto grouping was an impressive 1 inch, just a bit lower and to the right of the bullseye using the fiber optic non-adjustable sights. I would need to use the pop-up sights to adjust for windage and could have brought up the rounds a bit using hop-up, or one could put a red dot on the top rail for bang-on shot placement. In full Auto the grouping opened up to around 2 inches in right about the same location but this was easily over 100+ shots, so again an excellent result from the BARRA Black Ops M4 Viper MK5 AEG Airsoft Rifle!

Every once in a while you come across an underdog type Airgun that on paper and based on low cost you are not expecting to see amazing results from. The BARRA Black Ops M4 Viper MK5 AEG Airsoft Rifle is one such AEG Airsoft Rifle that overachieved my expectations by a lot, and I would say performed as well as any AEG Airsoft Rifle out there at even much higher price points. All of my testing was performed using the included 8.4 volt battery which worked well but I did find the rate of fire was a bit slower than if I was using a higher volt 11.1 volt battery. My advice if you do end up picking up the BARRA Black Ops M4 Viper MK5 AEG Airsoft Rifle and want a higher round per minute full auto, then at any time you can upgrade your battery and charger to a higher volt one. So what are you waiting for?

BARRA Black Ops M4 Viper MK5 AEG Airsoft Rifle Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Airsoft Rifle.
Manufacturer: BARRA.
Model: Black Ops M4 Viper MK5
Materials: Mostly plastic.
Weight: 4.8 pounds (2.2 kilograms).
Length: 29-32.5 inches (737-825.5mm)
Barrel Length: 12 inches (305mm) inner 6.08mm non-rifled.
Propulsion: AEG.
Action: Semi & Full Auto SAO.
Ammunition Type: 6mm Airsoft BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: Mid Cap 300 rounds.
FPS: 420 with .12 gram Airsoft BB’s.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the BARRA Black Ops M4 Viper MK5 AEG Airsoft Rifle is a SAO light and short trigger, typical of most AEG Airsoft guns having basically a trigger that is an electrical on/off switch. The trigger pressure I would say as about medium for this type of trigger and about a 1/4 inch in length. It has a curved metal trigger and works well in general.

Accuracy: I have not Field Test Reviewed the BARRA Black Ops M4 Viper MK5 AEG Airsoft Rifle, or tried it out yet as it is this is the first time I have seen this AEG. BARRA claims around a 420 fps using fairly light .12 gram Airsoft BB’s but I generally test using standard .20 gram Airsoft BB’s to keep my Field Test Shooting Reviews consistent. I would expect the velocity to be in the mid 300’s using .20 gram BB’s but we will find out when I do my actual Field Test Shooting Video for it. The same goes for accuracy, we will have to wait till my shooting video to know how the BARRA Black Ops M4 Viper MK5 AEG Airsoft Rifle performs on a paper target.

Build Quality: The BARRA Black Ops M4 Viper MK5 AEG Airsoft Rifle is pretty basic and made mostly out of plastic on the outside with the exception of some mechanical parts like the inner barrel, buffer tube, selector switch, trigger, magazine release, charging handle and a few other pins and screws. everything else is plastic including the magazine but the BARRA Black Ops M4 Viper MK5 AEG Airsoft Rifle does use standard AR type magazines so if you have some in metal you can use them. The plastic seems to be made of decent quality and the fit and finish is good overall.

Realism: Even though the BARRA Black Ops M4 Viper MK5 AEG Airsoft Rifle may not have much metal in the build, at least in terms of the receiver and forward grip, it does look the part of an AR, perhaps a bit lighter but not bad considering all the plastic on the outside. Almost all the mechanical parts work as expected except for the bolt release since it does not stay back when you pull the charging handle back for access to the hop-up. You will have to hold the charging handle back to adjust the hop-up but not a big deal.

Pros:

  • Very affordable on a tight budget.

  • Comes with charger and 8.4 volt Ni-MH battery.

  • Lots of mounting points for accessories.

  • Dual position sights, fiber optic when down, adjustable for windage when up.

  • 6 position rear stock for different shoulder pull lengths.

  • Adjustable hop-up under dust cover.

  • Semi and full auto.

  • Finger groves on pistol grip for added comfort and they look cool.

  • Black Ops branding looks good.

  • Good looking AR-15 Replica.

Cons:

  • Mostly all Plastic build.

  • Need to hold back charging handle to access hop-up.

  • Sights only adjustable for windage.

Comments:

The BARRA Black Ops M4 Viper MK5 AEG Airsoft Rifle may not have a lot of metal going on but that will bring the price tag down a lot and on the plus side it does come with everything you need to get up and running including the battery, charger and even a small back of Airsoft BB’s that won’t last long ;) I also l like the dual position iron sights that when flat utilize fiber optics front and back and when in the popped up position give you the standard peep in the back which is adjustable for windage. If you want to add a red dot, optical sight or other accessories there are lots of mounting points on the forward grip for this. Another nice touch is you also do get a metal gearbox so internal mechanical longevity should be good. If you want to take the plunge and get started with Airsoft and see if it fits for you then the BARRA Black Ops M4 Viper MK5 AEG Airsoft Rifle is a great way to test the waters and see how you like it.

Krytac Warsport LVOA-C AEG Airsoft Rifle Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Airsoft Rifle.
Manufacturer: Krytac.
Model: WARSPORT LVOA-C.
Materials: Mostly all Metal.
Weight: 6.2 pounds (2.8 kilograms).
Length: 32.7-35.8 inches (830-910mm)
Barrel Length: 15.6 inches (395mm) inner 6.05mm non-rifled.
Propulsion: AEG (with Deans Connectors).
Action: Semi & Full Auto SAO.
Ammunition Type: 6mm Airsoft BB's.
Ammunition Capacity: Hi/Mid Cap 300 rounds.
FPS: 390-410fps.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Krytac Warsport LVOA-C AEG Airsoft Rifle is a SAO light and short trigger, typical of most AEG Airsoft guns having basically a trigger that is an electrical on/off switch. The Krytac Warsport LVOA-C AEG Airsoft Rifle however has what feels like a mechanical reset which you can feel as you release the trigger to let you know your trigger has been reset and is ready to reengage at anytime. This type of trigger is something you find on a mechanical trigger rather than an electronic trigger and is a nice touch that adds even more realism to this AEG Airsoft Rifles.

Accuracy: I have not Field Test Reviewed the Krytac Warsport LVOA-C AEG Airsoft Rifle, or even tried it out yet as it is a brand new AEG Airsoft gun for me. Krytac claims around a 390-410 fps velocity which is right where I personally would like to see it being as this is ideal for most shooting situations. Not too powerful for more closeup shooting conditions yet powerful enough to be able to shoot out to longer ranges when required. In terms of accuracy we will have to find out, but I full expect the Krytac Warsport LVOA-C AEG Airsoft Rifle to do a bang up job and get a nice tight grouping in both semi and full auto when I make my Field Test Shooting Video for it…

Build Quality: The Krytac Warsport LVOA-C AEG Airsoft Rifle is a beast when it comes to build quality with top notch just about everything including the T6 machined Aluminum hard coat anodized Hand-guard, the Aircraft Grade Aluminum Receiver and the NAUTILUS V2 GEARBOX and Nautilus MOSFET system to name a few key points. Yes you are going to have to pay for this added quality and workmanship but that’s how it works!

Realism: The Krytac Warsport LVOA-C AEG Airsoft Rifle is a one to one Replica of a real steal Warsport LVOA-C AR-15, made out of high quality metals with a superior finish. As expected the majority of the mechanical components work in the same manner as a real steel AR such as the charging handle, dust cover, selector switch, bolt release and as expected the trigger, magazine release and multi-position rear stock.

Pros:

  • Full metal build, Aircraft Grade Aluminum Receiver, T6 machined Aluminum hard coat anodized Hand-guards.

  • Flat electronic trigger with noticeable click reset.

  • FPS is right where you want it to be.

  • 6 position adjustable rear stock.

  • Pop up removable metal iron sights, adjustable for windage and elevation.

  • Fully Licensed - Warsport LVOA-C.

  • Made/Distributed by KRISS (Actual real steel firearm manufacturer).

  • Ambidextrous selector switch and sling mount.

  • NAUTILUS V2 GEARBOX and Nautilus MOSFET.

  • Numbered Rotary Hop-up makes it easy to switch between Airsoft Ammo weights.

  • More than typically found battery compartment room.

Cons:

  • Rather expensive price tag.

  • Comes with orange flash hider only, can swap out.

  • This version is a bit long for my tastes.

In a sea of a multitude of AR based AEG Airsoft Rifles, I feel the Krytac Warsport LVOA-C AEG Airsoft Rifle does stand out from many of them with its super high quality build, Warsport LVOA-C licensing, quality components throughout and its unique style and look. Mind you, it does come at a fairly hefty price tag so be prepared for a bit of sticker shock, once you get the sticker shock out of the way and bring one of these bad boys home and in your hands, all that useless cash you would have spent on Starbucks and $20 McDonalds meals will be forgotten and you can get on with enjoying a lifelong ownership of what could be the last AEG Airsoft rifle you will ever need or own? Well that is a bit of a stretch, let’s just say you’r going to love it!

Replica Airguns Even Huger Mystery Box Unboxing

No Comments

I have another Huge Mystery Box to open and share with everyone, this one was even larger and heavier than the last one! You are going to have to watch the video to get all the details on what is actually inside but I can say there are 4 AEG Airsoft Rifles from a new to us company called Arcturus in both AR and AK versions and 2 CO2 Non Blowback Replica Pellet Pistols from KWC.

I do have a some more videos to make from the last Mystery Box Preview being a Specna Arms AEG PDW AR Airsoft Rifle and a Paintball Pump Shotgun that I still need to make both Table Top and Field Test Shooting Video for.

BB Versus Airsoft Full Auto Fun Video 1 AR

No Comments

I have another Full Auto Fun Video this one focusing on 4.5mm Steel BB Versus 6mm Plastic and which one is better in terms of accuracy and shredding power. I perform this super scientific test by shooting obviously in full auto two comparable Steel BB and Plastic Airsoft Rifles at a paper target setup 20 feet away with a magazine as a backer so I can see what the accuracy is like and how much of the paper magazine gets shredded by each ammo being tested.

I have split this video into three separate videos, in video one I compare two similar AR styled rifles, a CO2 powered Blowback 4.5mm BB Rifle to a Gas Blowback 6mm Airsoft Rifle. In video two I compare two AK type Blowback Rifles to each otters, again a CO2 4.5mm Steel BB along with a Gas 6mm Airsoft.

And lastly in Video three I compare my top picks for each category which include a non-Blowback CO2 4.5mm BB Machine gun to an AEG 6mm Airsoft Rifle.

In this video (Video One) the Airguns being used are the Crosman R1 4.5mm CO2 Blowback RIfle and the Tokyo Marui CQBR Block1 6mm Gas Blowback Airsoft Rifle.
