G&G L85 with Electronic Trigger Unit Airsoft Electric Blowback AEG Bullpup Rifle (Type: Carbine)

"TL;DR - Good performing gun and great realism for the money. I recommend.

The L85A2 has always had a place in my heart as a unique firearm since the days of TC’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2. To no surprise, having this in my airsoft arsenal was a no brainer as it brought back the nostalgia of those days.

Clearly, this is built for realism. Out in the field, the sheer weight and tank-like construction of this airsoft rifle will challenge your level of strength and endurance that not many players have. This is NOT a light airsoft gun. I highly recommend a sling! Either a 2-point sling or 3-point sling is needed. There is a front and rear sling point for hooks or straps. The balance is back heavy as the gearbox sits in the rear, but shouldering airsoft gun makes it feel noticeably light to aim and maneuver. The G&G L85A2 ETU performs well as it has a respectably high strength spring, good air seal, decent precision, and accuracy. All components good for an outdoor field. The FPS may be a little too high for indoor fields.

The G&G L85A2 ETU’s mid-tier pricing comes with mid-tier design choices and features that have been a delight to shoot - the snapping of the bolt as you pull the trigger and send a volley of BBs down range at the opposing team. One word: SATISFYING.

Teching and adding attachments to this airsoft gun poses challenges as some parts are proprietary and attachment solutions are not provided and need further investments in compatible products. I’ll list proprietary parts further below.

Overall, the G&G L85A2 ETU has served as an exceptionally reliable and good performing AEG out of the box, since I first ordered it back in February 2020. In a community filled with different AR platforms, it is refreshing to use and to see one of these out in the wild. To this day, its soap box exterior turn peoples’ heads and folks ask about the airsoft gun. It still stands as my go-to, and I would highly recommend this for anyone who is looking for a bullpup airsoft gun.

"The g&g l85a2 is a really good gun I been using it now for over 3 years and it been true to me in every engament that I got in to. It have been good to me in the Milsim I love this gun and it my go to gun.

"The gun is good had mine now for over a few months now it a good platform I have the ics version two and o would chose the g&g over the ics. Only problem I had with it was the mag well was not securing my mags that well with a few good taps on the the mag to get in it work good.
