Arcturus AK-12 Steel-Bodied Modernized Airsoft AEG Rifle (Model: Feature Enhanced)

"(Fyi this is my to go gun)
This gun is a little of the heavier side of other competing AEG but it certainly does feel like a monster to shoot
You really cant go wrong with this gun as it is full metal and only the grip and stock and smaller pieces around the gun is polymer but the build quality is on point, and from experience it definitely catches eyes tho I use this AK more as an RPK with a bi pod and drum mag

In my eyes this is a 5/5 starter AEG "If you have the money and luck to acquire one" and if you do manage to snatch one you definitely wont regret it

"As other reviewers have previously stated: This thing is a beast! Best out of the box, mid-price aeg that you can get for the money. The build quality is awesome, the shot consistency is on point and the accuracy out of the box is just phenomenal. The microswitch trigger is just *chef's kiss* crispy and adds just a tad bit of feedback on every shot. ROF is nothing to write home about, but is fine. It comes with two magazines, and they are really good. The folding stock is sturdy and feels quite nice on the shoulder. The hop up is good and shoots lasers with .20s without any pressure. Just even a small amount of hop will make your bb's fly to the sky, so be careful.

This is my very first "serious" aeg, and let me tell ya, I'm not disappointed, not even a bit. It has its flaws, just as the real steel version, the top part of the handguard is not really as secure as you may want it to be, so no lasers and sights there. The lower rail is really small, way too small to fit an angled grip, but any zenitco-type grips fit just well. The rear irons are bad, like a real pain to use if you wear any type of mouth protection and the front sight gets in the way of low profile optics, so get a raiser.

Other than that, be aware that if you get the standard version, you might get the updated one with a deans plug. Also, the gun really loves to lock up if you have a speedy trigger finger on semi, but flip the selector to full auto and you are good to go.

Overall I give it a 10/10. Be mindful that it being a Russian weapon, what you see is what you get. No fancy ambi selector switches, no skeletonized furniture, and no additional bells and whistles. Don't gut it when you first get it, Arcturus did a great work with the internals on this beauty that you don't really have to upgrade anything besides the motor.

"I bought one second hand, and I have to say I'm more than impressed.

Quick pros and cons

Pros:
- Full metal receiver (very durable)
- Easy to use extended selector switch
- Comfortable grip and stock
- Durable, Adjustable and foldable buttstock (easy to fold and unfold)
- Comes with black metal muzzle break (can be removed to reveal threads)
- Uses Deans connector
- Comes with mid cap and high cap mag
- Sturdy dustcover with pic rails

Cons:
- A bit heavy (can be a pro if you like realistic feeling to your gun)
- Sling attachment is a bit odd (not really like standard AK slings nor modern single point slings)
- Battery compart is small and a pain in the ass (I got used to it after a while)
- Takedown pin for dustcover is a bit loose (I wrapped a cloth around it to keep it from coming loose)
- Trigger isn't the best and isn't super fast when firing (note I have the standard model not the MOSFET)
- Handguard is a bit wobbly due to takedown pin also holding the handguard in place (but the handguard doesn't fall off)

Aside from some of the quirks of the AK-12 itself, this is an amazing gun for the price, and it's much better than the stuff LCT makes.

100% recommend for someone looking for a tactical AK at a mid range price.,
