AK Beta Spetsnaz Airsoft AEG Rifle by JG (Metal Gearbox / Folding Stock)

"Excellent rifle for its price. Highly compact with stock folded, and the build quality is way above its price point. Metal dust cover, metal internals, metal sights, metal mag.

WARNING: A reviewer listed Matrix High Performance 8.4v, stick type 1600 MAH as an ideal battery. As a guy who actually bought said battery for this rifle. This is simply not true. Discluding the wire, the dust cover space here is almost exactly 200mm, and so is the listed battery, making the fit including the wire physically impossible. My avice: get a 7.4 or 8.4 short type battery. Less than 160mm in length, for sure. Hopefully this saves someone from wasting 20 bucks like I did.

Pros:
-Solid, high quality construction.
-Excellent ballistics, on par with a full size AEG in accuracy, range, and power. Was doing some range time and had a ricochet come right back and strike me in the chest at 15-20ft out.
-Folding stock is cokfortable in both positions, but when folded slows down use of fire selector.
-Highly compact (prob 19-21 inches) when folded up entirely.
-Folding stock works with full size AK mags as well.
-Compatible with most if not all CYMA, JG, and Matrix style mags.
-Stubby mag it came with is high quality, metal build. It's compact, reliable, cheap, and comes with a winding key. Ordered a 2nd one gladly.

CONS:
-Battery compartment is small, and mandates short type 7.4 or 8.4 volt batteries. 9.6 is plausible, but would probably increase wear and tear on auto. Less than 160mm is safe in battery size, as mentioned above.
-Rear sights can't be adjusted like the "mortar sights" on standard AK's for range. I love mortar sights, but I was able to hit at long range without them anyways.
-Will make you say "bby" and "bbyr" as a new inside joke.

"This gun is very kawaii!!!! xddddd

+Its very bby
+You can take off stock to make it bbyr
+It takes most if not all other AK mags
+Feels and looks very unique

-It is a decent challenge to fit the battery in the thing. Extremely snug fit.

The battery that would be the best fit/type would be the Matrix GenStar High Output 8.4V 1600mAh NiMH Stick Type Battery.

"Very good, well made, reliable gun! It works just the way it was intended and I've had it for a few months now and haven't seen any problems with it so far. Only complaint I may have is that the mag is kinda small, but you can just buy a bigger one if you want. This doesn't really bother me too much much but it might for you. Other than that great product!
