Airsoft Thread

The VFC's have a semi working bolt catch.

VFC is a sellout. They used to make absolutely gorgeous AKs, and now all they do is make fucking SCARs, M4s, and PMC AKs like every other shitty airsoft company.

Meh, I never liked the look of the AK to begin with.

I do. I think it's the sexiest assault rifle ever created. It's the worst weapon of mass destruction on the face of the Earth. It works when you need it, and with the right ammunition it's more than accurate enough. It also has its own range of accessories (scopes, grenade launchers, etc.) on a standard attachment system that makes it competitive with Western systems. The latest in the family is more advanced than the M16, G36, F2000, SCAR, and even the HK416. It (AK-107) is surpassed only by the AN-94. The only downside is the tiny bullet, but even our guns have that problem.

Sure, we have tons of VFC AK clones now, but the only quality AKs out there are either railed pieces of shit or G&G. I like G&G, but what if I want a steel receiver pinned together with a nice laminated wood set? Wouldn't be so bad if real AK-74 furniture didn't cost $750 for a set. It was nice knowing there was a quality manufacturer of Eastern weapons on the block. You can turn to any vendor in the Top 3 and find a good M4, but you try being an AK afficianado and finding a gun that you are completely satisfied with.

The AK is a beast. An outstanding weapon. I want one. But I don't dig the look of it. That's not to say I think it looks bad. There are definitely worse looking rifles. I like the structure of the AK-47, but it's the wood that I don't like. There are only a few weapons that I like that are wooden. Those would be the WWI/WWII era weapons and the M14. I like the modern dark appearance of AK derivatives and new weapons with the AK look.

It's amazing that Kalashnikov is still alive.

I own a airsoft AK47 you all guys should know, it shot great I just needed a better battery and now a new gearbox. Which im pestering my parents to order my mags, new battery, and a new ak gearbox. I also decided to withhold buying the airsoft StG44

Also the AK is the most known assault rifle ever. Oh a heads up on AK47 accessories, they can make internal silencers for it now just like the MP5-SD. It also was put through mud, water soaked, sand, and all the standard tests for a AK47 and it worked just fine.

Yeah, you see. You need a new gearbox. VFC v.3 gearboxes were second only to Tokyo Marui in reliability. CYMA and D-boys just can't compare. And then they do a shit job on the wooden bits. First they are thin. Second they are usually painted, not stained. Finally, they are not made of laminate.

I want to finish my 1953 Soviet loadout, but nobody makes an AK-47 up to snuff. There is no steel receiver for the AK-47 unless you want to drop $1200 on a terrible Inokatsu kit.

Warsaw, why do you care about any airsoft AK except for Real Sword guns... They're easily the best airsoft AK's on the market, most realistic build quality, look and fell, and they operate very well out of the box as well...

1.) RealSword AKs are not 100% compatible with standard parts.

2.) They have Chinese markings.

3.) They ARE Chinese.

4.) I hate the Type-56 with it's swing-out bayonet.

5.) Overpriced

6.) Only RS gun I want is the SVD. Classic Army just can't compare.

7.) G&G has that whole gas-tube/piston thing going on theirs and I fucking love that (I have their RK104).

8.) VFC has made the only good AK-74 to date. G&G makes a good polymer '74 (with the wrong magazine), but that's not what I want. They also make a fantastic AKMS, but again that's not what I want. VFC makes the best AK-74M as well. Also the AK-105.

I'm very particular when it comes to AKs. It must be solid. It must have correct markings. It must have as close to correct dimensions as possible while still being after-market-friendly. Why? Because AKs have character. M4s all look the same no matter what you do to it. You can have the most kickass mod system on it, but someone else can replicate it if they want. An AK can be beaten savagely, deliberately worn, and otherwise be made very personal on a level that no plastic black rifle ever can. Some great photos can be found here. I'm Lead Ace. I don't have my gun up because it's a.) broken and b.) not customized to my liking.

There are also at least three more "Post your Guns" threads. I haven't browsed that newest one yet, but look for the others.

E: Here's the Post Your Guns v. 4 thread. More pictures. Better pictures.

I so jelly now after those pictures.

Dammit :smith:
