Adaptive Armament AA-15 Series Airsoft AEG with RAS-II

"really nice and powerful for a electric rifle i shot through a plastic container in just two shots!

"first got this gun circa 2018. i've since moved on from it, but while it lasted, it was excellent.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT ADAPTIVE ARMAMENT IS AN ARCTURUS REBRAND. that being said, expect arcturus-level internals in a more affordable package.
the externals are all polymer except for the buffer tube and barrel assembly. the rail is kind of creaky if you twist it, and you can probably break it in your hands on a good day. still, it's sturdy enough and keeps the overall platform light.
performance wise, it runs great out of the box. and that's about it. if you plan on upgrading this thing, it has a proprietary microswitch, trigger, and gearbox shell, so no drop in mosfet for you.

PROS
very, very good performance for the price
reliable
standard v2 components apart from the gearbox shell
quick change spring guide
steel rack piston
precision barrel

CONS
polymer receiver disintegrates over time
gb shell is arcturus/zci microswitch proprietary along with the trigger
DOESN'T HAVE SHS GEARS LIKE THE DESCRIPTION SAYS! GEARS ARE JUST AVERAGE 18:1 CHINESE GEARS
trigger pull is very heavy and long because of the microswitch
despite having a microswitch, the trigger still jams, forcing you to switch to full auto to clear it just like trigger trolleys
quick change spring cannot be changed through the receiver; you still have to take the gun apart to change the spring, plus the spring guide itself is plastic
wiring to tamiya connectors is very sketchy and was the cause of spontaneous battery disconnections
wiring is very thin and heats up very quickly

TL;DR - great platform to run out of the box, especially those under a tight budget. while you can run this without problems, i would not recommend it for longevity. after only 2 years, the receiver started disintegrating and the microswitch started having problems, e.g. not resetting after a cycle and jamming. still, great platform while it lasted, and i would greatly recommend it as your first gun

"This gun is a beast! For only $100, it comes with a 6.03 tight bore barrel and awesome gear box. I bought this about 2-3 years ago and it still feels like a new solid gun.

It keeps up with above average players and guns that guys/gals spend $300-$500 on. I am very impressed. I put .30 bbs in this vs my normal .25g and wow… I didn’t think I could get more accurate but boy was I wrong. Either way, .25 or .30, this gun is very accurate for the price point. You get the advantage of accuracy, light weight, and a decent rate of fire with 9.6v nunchuck style battery for the crank stock.

Never thought I would buy this gun again, but I’m snagging another when it re-stocks. 👍🏻 My normal gun is a KWA RM4 2.5verison and MTW wolverine. This gun is almost on the same level. Wild!
