CYMA Standard Contractor AK47 Airsoft AEG Rifle (Model: Retractable Stock)

"This Ak performs very well and is very accurate. It is also very durable with the full metal. The only problem I've had with this was the handle next to the trigger which was slightly wobbley but was very easy to tighten up , and i reccomend that you have a sling for it as the gun gets heavy after awhile

"This gun is the best!! I love it and is the best AK in my opinion. I just used it today at the field.
I bought a 9.6v stick with it though (details at the end)

The Pros:

Full metal gun
High FPS (chronoed 440 max, with 420+s on average)
Fast ROF
Great gearbox

The Cons:
Not really any, might be a bit heavy

About buying the 9.6v battery: The stick is 1 cell block too big. So you have 2 choices to undergo that problem.

1. Have your gun modified

or

2. Don't put on the top receiver on, and have the battery come out to the left side [under the ris]. And just use Electrical Tape and Duct tape (that's over the electrical tape). Just have camo bandana cloth over the battery compartment space and use a little duct tape to keep the cloth in place.
(the ghetto way)

Amazing gun. Was totally worth buying.

"This gun, to put it simply, is extremely durable, capable, and dependable. At it's price, you may not find another AK with as much to love in a JG or even another Echo1 or G&G. It is a prime field weapon of every kind, and with the right load-out built around it, it will function to perfection. The stock battery is trash, but if you are willing to shell out a little more for a great gun, my suggestion is an 11.1v Li-Po stick, which the Gear Box IS built to handle.

Pros
All metal (cept hand guard)
Durable
firm mag well
great velocity, accuracy and ROF
quality gearbox, and internals
awesome look and finish
has never jammed

Cons
Slight stock wobble (can be fixed with hex tool)
battery installment not quick (it is easy, but takes too long to do in the middle of game)
flash hider doesn't come off (be lawful! but prevents mock silencer attachment)

Other
Seriously, with the drum mag and scope i attached, this baby has heft. Be careful, if you are a lightweight, or simply want a reasonably weighted gun, keep looking. The weight is the price of it's durability: invincible.

"pros
nice rail system
good fps 410 to 420 with .20
has full trade marks
FULL METAL BODY
mag holds 600 bb's
very accurate no joke you can snipe with this gun
rate of fire really good 12 to 13 rounds with a 8.4v
cons
couldn't think of any but this gun ways like 8 pounds so get a sling

"I've had this CPW for a while now, and I must say it is has been the best deal EVER for any gun you can find. It's rate of fire sounds like a beast, the fps is beastly, it has the weight of a beast, and it's looks are beastly. ITS A BIG BLACK HAIRY BEAST. I've killed entire teams before with it.

I also took it apart completely to remove the disgusting industrial grease, and replace it with my own. ALMOST all the internals are metal, but I plan to upgrade the plastic parts to metal parts. The inner barrel has a 6.08 mm diameter, which works great, but I plan to install a 6.01 mm in the future. The gearbox internals are rock solid (but a pain to reassemble!), but again, SOME parts could be metal instead of plastic. The external parts that I wish weren't plastic are the hand guards (the area covered in rails), because a small notch broke off on the inside that held the lower guard in place. I had to superglue it twice.

Pros:

Beast ROF
Beast FPS
Beast Weight
Beast Looks
Easy to take apart/reassemble (completely)
Lipo-ready
Rails all over
Comes with cheap vertical grip
Has an M4 stock!

Cons:

The big rail above the receiver is angled down by about 5 degrees.
Clip it comes with can fall out with a mere nudge of the support lever.
Only takes stick batteries (unless simple modifications are made).
Can't take sticks that are too long.
Flash Hider CANNOT be removed unless you break it (what blocks it from unscrewing is a welded metal pin. You can push the pin away in the CYMA version of this gun, but not this one).

Overall AMAZING gun. Just a forewarning: ONLY BUY METAL CLIPS IF YOU HAVE AN AK. PLASTIC ONES ARE BOUND TO BREAK (happened to me twice).

"Awesome gun its one of the coolest guns ive ever had and ive had alot! to start off its got a great rate of fire and its full metal very durable but a bb got jammed in mine and i havnt got it fixed yet but its was great for 2 years

"This gun is beast I got it about a week ago
The gun shoots great and it's got great accuracy and power
I highly recommend this gun it is totally worth the money

"the best ak series AEG i ever haved!i put a scope and bipod on it so i can have a long range capabilities. i recommend this for starters and for the serious airsofters

Pros:
-can be converted to a sniper or support weapon
-best value for this custom AEG
-you can upgrade the gearbox for maximum fps
-you can put accessories in the rails

Con/s:
-very heavy (when you convert this)

"I LOVE IT!!! it hits hard, it does its job, and it is pretty reliable... the webstie isnt joking around about 390-430 fps haha...

Pros: Realistic heavy feel
Full metal except for grip, stock, handle, magazine and rails but they are all made of very high quality plastic...
Hits hard
Good ROF
600 ROUND MAG!!!
Reliable
Cons: As said above, somewhat heavy for new/inexperienced players, no big deal
Not the best sights in the world, get a red dot or something
Overall: BUY THIS GUN!!! great FPS especially for the price!!

"I have had it for two years and have had no problems. It has great fps and is very accurate. I recommend you get .23 or .25 gram bbs to make it extremely accurate.

"This is an extremely solid AEG. I've owned this weapon for about two years now and I haven't had a problem with it yet. On top of that it looks plain sexy and the rails open the doors to plenty of customization options.

Pros
Hits hard: (415-420) fps
Extremely accurate: can hit a man size target from around 200 ft
Lots of rails
Fairly high rate fire for only an 8.4v battery
Full metal


Cons
Only can hold an 8.4v stick (can take a 10.8v PEQ box with some minor modification)
Heavy from the full metal construction
Stock is hard to replace if broken

"I got this gun in the mail about last leek. this past weekend when i used it, i pretty much dominated. everyone wanted to be on my team. right out of the box it shoots 426 fps and 880 rpm.

PROS:
1. great fps(feet per second)
2. good rpm (rounds per minute)
3. holds large, small, or stick type batteries
4. looks sick
5. nice sturdy metal feel
6. great accuracy at a long range
7. 600!!!! round waffle mag
8. easily upgradeable ( i have a sniper scope silencer and 9.6v for my ak47)

CONS:
1. front sight wabbles a little bit on mine but im not sure if thats true for all
2. its front heavy (total it weighs 8lbs w/empty mag)

Overall this is a great gun for the money i highly recomend it

"Flat out best under $300 AK. Any bb from 0.2g to 0.25g bbs work best. the accuricy is unlike any other aeg ive seen. there is only one thing not to like about this gun. that is that the manual dont tell u how long to charge the battery. the formula to find out how long the battery takes to charge is this


battery mah rating / the charger out put in mah x 1.4= ##.###
so for example this is the formula for how long to charge the stock battery on this gun.
1100/250= 4.4
4.4 x 1.4 = 6.16
so the stock battery should charge for about 6 hours and 10 minutes for a full charge.

Hope this helped anyone who is looking at this gun or has this gun and was having the same prob as me!

"The gun is made entirely of metal (The RIS hand guard and collapsible M4 LE stock are made of plastic) which makes it quite heavy, so know beforehand that you've gotta strength to hull the monster around. Another great feature about the gun is the dummy carrying handle on the gun which provides a base for scopes and optics to be attached. The magazine it comes with is a disaster all together and if you don't have a good magazine, you might be spending more than you should for a good gun. This Review applies to all individuals, whether they cant hold a heavy gun to the limit of their wallets.

PROS:
- The gun is all metal to say the least
- The gun after 4 months of use was able to shoot from 387 to 399 fps.
- The R.I.S. allows for upgradeability ( Pretty explanatory...)
- It's built like a tank.
- The M4 LE stock... it can be short or long / six positions for your own personal comfort :)

CONS:
- Its heavy... enough said!
- The magazine it comes with is very cheap and doesn't work at all. (I'm glad I had a spare...)

"i bought this ak47 with the lipoly battery and a grip and scope and i have 1 word for it. AWESOME!

I was in an airsoft war with friends, I got all of them and no deaths. You can't go wrong with the lipoly battery. The rof increased a lot and it's very helpful.

Pros:
Full Metal
Li-Poly Battery Compatible without wear and tear
High FPS
Lots of Rails for complete customization
Very Durable
Low Cost

Cons:
Heavy( i recommend a bipod for weak or lazy people)
