CYMA Sport AK47 RIS Tactical Sportsline Airsoft AEG Rifle w/ Metal Gearbox

"As much as this gun is pushed aside as a cheap beginner's gun, it really impresses me! I've always known the AK47 for as long as I can remember, and M4s and similar guns just look ugly to me, so this was the obvious choice for me. It's cheap(comparatively), and as my other hobbies have taught, a metal gearbox is a must, even though I'm not the modder kind of guy.

Pros
VERY accurate, with both .20s and .25s
Easily adjustable hop-up
Amazing rate of fire(I estimate well above 5 rounds per second)
Velocity seems hotter than rated, the other reviewer's ratings of 400 FPS seem right
IT HURTS, or so I'm told. Like hornets. :D
Good overall heft, feels durable
Crisp trigger pull
Well balanced from front to back
Accessory rails are a plus, I don't have anything on it yet, but it's nice to have the option
The stock hi-cap mag feeds surprisingly well, it double-fired a few times early on, but that went away as I broke it and the gun in
Adjustable sights are nice, but I mostly leave them alone
Easy to unjam the gearbox, only 3 phillips screws to remove the motor(mine jammed due to a bad battery charger not charging the battery right)
Price is awesome(thanks Evike!)

It doesn't say it, but this gun DOES come with a cheap sling. And yes, it's pretty cheap. The webbing isn't terribly soft, but the metal clasps make it feel overall somewhat durable. The clasps are too small for the front sling mount. I ended up using a Magpul RLS sling, $20 on Amazon and way better.


Cons
Just a tiny bit creaky, but better than even top end Nerf guns. It's hardly noticeable, and if it really bugs you, you should've gotten a full metal gun
As the other reviewers noted, it is mildly annoying to have the entire front sight/barrel tip bright orange, but it's not too bad, it at least makes it easier to see against the environment when you're looking down the sight.
Dust cover is a little funky, but there's a trick to it. Instead of pushing it straight forward, underneath the latch, put the dust cover up to the body of the gun(butting against it) at an upwards angle, and then push it straight down ONTO the latch, without letting it slide back. Once it latches IT WILL BE SECURE.
No battery or charger included, but I'm not sure I would use them anyway even if they were included, given the BB wuality(see below)
Don't use the cheap CYMA BBs, get some quality Valken or Matrix match grade BBs. 0.20s will do the job, 0.25s are better.


Not a con, but do note that it ships with the hop up adjusted all the way down to the minimum!


Overall, a fantastic beginner primary, I highly recommend it!

"If you're looking for your first airsoft gun and you're wanting an AK platform then this is the gun for you.
This was my first gun getting into airsoft and it's been nothing but perfect. FPS with .20g bbs was upwards of 430, though I wouldn't recommend anything less than .25g.
The gun is sturdy and feels great in your hands, the magazine it comes with is more than sufficient at 400 round capacity. I would get a 9.6V small brick type battery for it as well because it does NOT come with a battery or charger.
If you're on a pretty tight budget like I was getting my first gun I would say this is the one, if you don't mind spending the extra money I would recommend the one with more metal externals.
Great buy! Highly recommended.

"YOU CANNOT BEAT THIS FOR THE PRICE.

The performance out of the box is absolutely phenomenal. Compared to other entry level guns I have used in the past ( G&G CQB Raider/Echo 1 AK RIS/G&G GR16/Echo1 Commando ) This thing puts all the others to shame in terms of performance per dollar.

Considering a Raider will run you 60-70+ more than this cost, this is the way to go.

"Pleasantly surprised! This product exceeded my expectations to the point that I felt I wasted money on some of the other guns I purchased. I am new to air soft and bought this gun for my son (12) for a weekend camping and air soft retreat. The performance was excellent, hard to tell that it was a $75 gun when shooting next to $200 AEGs. I just hope that these characteristics remain after more use, but have put about 3,500 BBs through it so far. Still on the same battery (9.6v 1100 mAh NiMh). Actually buying another for my other son today. On full auto a quick pull of the trigger will consistently generate a 3 round burst, which is nice.

Pros:
Comes with a Magazine and Strap
Low cost Vs Performance
Great Battery life
Hop-up Adjusted well and easily
Shots higher velocity than stated in description

Cons:
Battery Rattles in but stock (placed small piece of clothe, problem solved)
Battery Compartment door which is the but pad works well now but I fear there could be issues with it stay closed after some more use
Entire front sight post has the orange blazing instead or just the muzzle

"im a pro airsofter and i got this gun for a friend who's just starting to play and it is very dependable the mag is a little small but u can buy a bigger one i test fired it very good at cycling rounds i love it

"This is a fire gun, Great starter gun

I would recommend if you are just getting into Airsoft. It has great accuracy, looks good, and feels great.

I will say that the actual build quality of the gun is pretty cheap, mostly made out of plastic and the battery swings around in the stock, which now that I think of it might be a good thing since it doesn’t weigh that much.

"Good starter gun

Very good starter gun one or two problems but nothing major, gun doesn’t come with a battery or bbs so I would like a starter pack or something that includes a battery and bbs, the hop up is behind that thing that u pull back (I don’t know what it’s called) and it comes all the way down so the bbs just fall (that’s an exaggeration it would shoot but drop after a couple feet) some times it would just stop shooting on semi auto but the solution is to switch to full auto.

Pros:
Good starter gun
Fun to shoot
Pretty reliable
Accurate for a starter gun
Friends say it hurts ( if that’s a good thing)

Cons:
A little rattly
Plastic dust cover and pully thing
Dosent come with a battery or bbs
Sometimes stops shooting on semi but an easy fix (see above)

Over all a great starter gun and looks cool so if you are just starting like I am this is a good gun to start with.

"So, this was my first airsoft gun, and I�ve had it for a few days and I love it. It has a very nice feel to it, and it stands out since it isn�t like a standard AK47. The gun fires very smoothly, usually feeding all of the bb�s that are in the magazine. The magazine it comes with holds a nice amount of bb�s, but the fact that you have to wind the wheel every so often does get annoying. That can be fixed by buying different magazines though. The grip feels nice and ergonomic, and it is very comfortable. However, the description says that it comes with a vertical grip, but mine did not. I don�t know if this was just a manufacturing defect, or if none of the guns come with it. Please keep in mind that only the short (length) batteries will fit into the stock. I clicked on the battery that was under the �What you�ll need� tab, bought it, but it was too long for the gun. Also, the gun does not come with a charger. Overall, I am very pleased with this gun. It is very good for the price.
PROS-
Very nice feel
Sturdy
Mag holds a lot of bb�s
Grip is very ergonomic
Fires beautifully
Battery compartment easy to get to

CONS-
Did not come with a vertical grip like the description said
The battery that was linked with this gun was too long, and did not fit

I hope anyone reading this found this review helpful, because this is a great gun.

"Good build but charging handle sticks and the dust cover doesn’t want to go back on

"I was so excited to get this gun. I was surprised at the quality, except one big thing; it’s missing the wiring to plug in a battery! I was so excited to run this for cqc this weekend and it kind ruined it for me. I guess I have to wait until Evike opens Monday to call. Honestly I want to return it now and the mags I bought for it and just get a specna arms cqc
