CYMA Standard RPK LMG Airsoft AEG Rifle w/ Steel Bipod and Real Wood Furniture (Package: Add 7.4v LiPo Battery + Charger)

"fantastic RPK
built solid, good performance, can handle 11.1 lipo out of the box
I did have the stock bucking go out first day of use, but I was not being nice to the gun at all and probably fired 4,000 rds through it. I would recommend buying a purple Prometheus bucking, it will last a while and its decently easy to install of you know anything about airsoft.
only other issue is battery space but thats nothing to bad
overall its a solid gun, real easy to upgrade.

"this gun is 🔥 this hops .30 like nothing, throw on a 2.500 drum and watch them run to cover.

"pros:
-solid cyma internals
-range
-accurate
-solid externals
-realistic charging handle
-support weapon with easily available mags
-HT motor gives a very nice ROF with a 11.1 to sustain fire longer
-lightweight considering its a lmg
-plenty of battery space
-400fps
-considered a lmg for milsim or fields that only allow full auto for lmgs

Cons:
-useless bipod when prone
-mag misfeeds
-iron sight is prone to fall off
-stock airseal

Recommend:
-6.01 650mm madbull barrel
-16guage wiring
-jefftron mosfetII
-deans
-cyma drum mag or cyma rpk flash mags ,not the high caps
-shs nozzle short, long type will also work
-shim gears
-ranger band over sight
-stretch stock piston o-ring or replace with a #14 o-ring
-mapleleaf macaron bucking

Biggest downside if that it is rarely in stock so if u see them restock u better get 1 asap, out of all my lmgs the rpk is by far the best i have owned, yes this gun is long yes the bipod is tall ,its a rpk what do u expect, doest use a traditional battery but if u have a brick lipo similar to a 8.4 then u are set

"This gun is legend. More on that shortly. There are a couple things you should do when you buy it. First, buy a 1000rd fat mag. The biggest con with this gun is that the mag it comes with misfeeds often. I've never had a single problem with the fat mag. It fits very snug into the rpk, whereas the stock mag wobbles (as well as any other ak74 mag I tried. Ak47 mags are a bit better).
Besides that, the construction feels legend. The bolt is legend - it looks and feels so realistic. The wood on the gun is legend, it makes the rpk feel so real. The bipod is legendary, it feels well made and folds nicely.
I brought it to a game once and decided to use .30 bbs (which is expensive for an lmg). In conclusion, it was legend. It shot like my bolt action sniper ... but full auto. By far that game was my best round of airsoft I've ever had. I've never gotten so many people out in a game! It shoots straight and far.
The battery space is quite tight, so buy small square-type lipos if you can. The gearbox was good, but I suggest an SHS piston. The hopup worked like a charm.
I've owned many different airsoft guns over the past years. I will say this, that if I had to choose my top 3 airsoft guns that I've ever owned or tried, this would be one of them!

"Excellent gun! Planning on keeping this stock because the externals are on point and it shoots very consistently out of the box. ROF is also just to my liking.

"This is a great gun preforms amazingly the bipod does move but its natural the suppresser is threaded 14- and you can put a side railmount on it it is fairly accurate and its supper upgradeable great for a first time saw gunner not for a first time player.





Pros
fairly accurate
Shoots at around 370-380 fps
You can add stuff to it
Lots of bbs down range

Cons
Heavy

"Great fun out of the box. Probably one of the best I've gotten. At the crono was very consistent. When I took it apart I found out that the piston and cylinder had almost no compression whatsoever. Air leaked out almost instantly. So replaced both cylinder and piston. Replaces the bucking with a G&G green bucking. Changed the barrel to a longer one (just some junk stock brass barrel I had laying around). And use an 11.1 block lipo. The thing shoots like a dream. Range is amazing. Out ranges most standard Rifles and even a majority of snipers I've come across. Accuracy isn't sniper accurate but for a lmg its really nice. Stock is very finicky on what batteries fit. Nunchuck batteries will not fit. Nothing more than Ni-Mi 3 cell long batteries will fit. So a lipo would probably be best bet for good fit. Over all great gun out of the box and even better upgraded. Full travel bolt is a nice touch of realism too. Definitely the most realistic Airsoft ak I've used. More so than some gbb AKs.

"This is my review of the CYMA CM052 RPK.

First Impressions:

The gun just looks incredible. The finish on the wood is very nice also; it looks worn and distressed, which adds to the rugged rpk look. The gun is nicely balanced, with a very nice heft. Also, for all my fellow 125 pounders out there, in the realm of support weapons, this is probably the lightest and most maneuverable. A great choice for those of us who can't lug a m60 around all day. When the gun description says it is full metal, it's not kidding around. The only plastic parts I found was the motor grip and the orange tip. I dare you to find something else that is plastic. The metal that makes up the gun is not pot metal; it feels good under the hand and will not break anytime soon.

Functionality(how things work)

Many reviews complain about their iron sights falling off. Either they were going for the sights with a hacksaw, or they used their rpk as a garden rake. Let me tell you, unless you are stupid, the sights are not gonna fall off. They are metal and well secured to the gun. The front sight is adjustable for elevation, and the rear sight is adjustable for elevation and windage. Also, many reviewers complain about the bipod. Sure, it is a little wobbly, but it is good quality metal and it does its job. The receiver is similar to that of a ak47, but it is beefier. It comes with a scope mounting point, and the bolt moves all the way back, exposing the hop up. Moving back, we come to the stock. The real wood stock is hollow, for battery storage. There is no stock wobble at all. The butt plate is affixed to the stock via two screws. You have to unscrew the butt plate to access the battery compartment.

Shooting

When I shot this gun, the temperature was around 70 degrees, there was a slight breeze. I shot Evike.com 0.25g Japanese-spec bbs with a freshly charged 9.6v 1600ma Tenergy battery. After fiddling with the hop-up, I set up the bipod and started shooting. I shot at a target right around 130-140 feet. Each bb shot straight to target, there were no flyers. Whatever I shot at I hit. There was no need to adjust after each shot or burst. 140 feet was definitely not the max range, with my (unmodified) rpk I would feel confident engaging someone at 170-180 feet, especially with a heavier bb. In automatic firing, the rpk was slightly inaccurate, but that just makes it easier to suppress cover. The semi-automatic mode however, was dead on accurate.

Pros:
Great aesthetics
Very nice stock metal hop-up
Great fire selector
Very nice iron sights
Range
Accurate(on semi)
Lightweight(but feels solid)
Real Wood
Scope Mounting point

Cons:
Veerryyy small battery space.
Inaccurate on automatic mode(its a pro for me)
Bipod is a little wobbly

You will not regret buying this RPK!!

"I LOVE MY RPK, but it recently broke :(. I'm sending it off to be fix and ready for an upcoming event. This gun has a great rate of fire and is fairly strong. the 2 things that broke on it was a gear and the rear sight pop off. If you have the sight still its a great gun and recommend it to any new support gunners. Make sure you grab a drum mag or two. If anyone is wondering what battery i use its a 7.4 1500mah lipo. Trust me the battery space is small. i didn't believe it in till it got to my house. The stock is kind of small.

"the rear iron sight on mine just fell off but other than that theres no downside to this weapon............just buy it

"I have had this gun for a couple months now and feel educated enough to write a review so here it goes!

pros:
Fps is good about 395 with 0.25g bb
Accurate with 0.25g bbs
Range with 0.25g bb is about 160-180 feet
real wood feels amazing
Everything feels sturdy on it
intimidating
considerably light weight for an LMG
Rail mount!

Cons:
Mine came with a birdcage style orange tip, kinda disappointing
Cannot let gun rest on bipod with the HUGE magazine in it
battery space the battery that you are supposed to get for it is even hard to put in

Conclusion:
All in all this gun is very sturdy, and is very similar to the A&K PKM (which i also own) it can easily hit a target up to 180ft with a 0.25g bb. The fps is strong. It is as hard as a rock. You could bash this thing on a tree and it would be alright. AND IT IS VERY INTIMIDATING!!!

"The Echo 1 RPK is a beast of a BB gun. This is a versatile LMG or assault rifle, and easy fits both styles of player. The accuracy, fps and distance this gun has fresh out of the box is quite pleasing to an experienced airsofter. You will not regret buying this fine piece that Echo 1 has produced. It is lighter than your average LMG and the hook points are perfectly placed. This would get three thumbs up if possible. Oh yeah and I forgot to mention you can use a decent amount of AK type magazines for this gun as well! With that said the only con I would say is that the lever for the semi, auto and safety has the nut loosening from time to time, so keep tabs on that and you shouldn't have an issue at all.

"this gun is alsome i got it a week ago and the only con that it had was that the fuse was blown but that was a easy fix you can get them chep at any atto shop. other than that its a great gun and i like everything about.

pros
great fps
great rps
full steal body
real wood
not as hevy as an m249 or a m60
great range
very accurate

cons
bad fuse
the back sight came off but it pops back in place.

"Great gun overall. Solid externals, even better internals. Mine shot 470 FPS out of the box. Put an m100 spring in this bad boy and it is shooting 380FPS. The ROF with the lower spring is about 15ish. Only problem I ever had was during a game the motor mount came loose and I had to go screw it back in (the screw in the bottom of the pistol grip for those who don't know). has the proper beefed up RPK reciever. Trademarks look cool I'm not going to be a whiner and say that it sucks because the caliber is wrong. Its an airsoft gun. Only real Con is the bipod IS pot metal, rear sight is super wobbley, and it is VERY finicky with magazines.

Pros:

Steel Body
about 10 pounds (compare it to a 15 pound M249 or 20 pound M60)
Realistic beefed up reciever (just like the real thing)
Great FPS
Amazing Internals
Wood is solid as a rock
Range is anywhere from 1-200ft EASILY
Hopup is metal

Cons:

Pot metal bipod
Rear sight is wobbley
Very picky with magazines. Will take most AK-74 magazines
Incompatible with most drum magazines. Either don't fit or too wobbley for reliable feeding.

"This is a sweet gun. With a 650mm 6.03 JBU barrell it is shooting 420 fps with .20 bbs. The bipod is rugged as well as the rest of the gun. The battery compartment in the stock is definately a tight fit. I purchased from Evike an Echo1 11.1v lipoly battery (Lipo-E1-Lipo02) as well as a Firefox 7.4v lipoly battery (BAT-Lipo74V-002) for use. Both batteries fit, with the Echo1 battery just barely fitting, but it does. I also purchased the Matrix 3000 round drum (CMAG-SC-AK-1) and this thing rocks. The drum mag has no trouble keeping up with the rate of fire when using the 11.1 lipoly. The 800 round magazine that comes with the gun will shoot approximately 1/3 of the mag before it has to be round fully again.

What really sold me on purchasing was watching the demo video on Echo1's website. If you are on the fence about purchasing, watch the video and it will solidify why you should get it.

The only con about the RPK so far is the rear sight assembly just fell out during play on the very first day, and the piece that goes under the rear sight was lost. We were able to back track and find the actual rear sight. I contacted Echo1 and they are sending a replacement part no questions asked. That is customer service!
