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.
Here is video three in my series of Full Auto Fun videos I make each summer where I pick a few Full Auto Airguns and record some fun outside shooting with them. In this years Full Auto Fun Video series I do a bit of a walk around on my property and shoot a bunch of water filled pop cans. Maybe this doesn’t sound super exciting but I do use some really creative camera angles to capture it all which makes it lot more interesting to watch for sure!
In this third Full Auto Fun video I test out the Crosman A4-P AR Pistol and like my other videos it was not “picture perfect” or should I say “Video Perfect”… My cameras actually cooperated pretty good this time around, but one of my magazines had an issue (May have been me), so I had to switch over to my trusty KWA 1911 CO2 Blowback BB pistol to finish the job, good ting I had it on me, got to expect the unexpected!
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.
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?
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.
