G&G SG552 at RedWolf Airsoft

OptimusPrime

This is now available for US$395.00 at RedWolf Airsoft... "G&G throws in there contender for this not so common model and what a contender it is. Although including a significant portion of polymer, the material used is very dense, strong and weighty, adding to the feel of the gun making feel less like a toy and more like a serious tool.

The ergonomic compactness, rubberized pad on the polymer folding stock and smooth facets and lines make for a 'Commando' length weapon that leaves little to be desired for the aspiring ninja style of player. The bolt lock, though aesthetic only, does manually lock with a catch and the ride of bolt return is crisp, firm and solid making for a sexy bolt release.

The weapon comes with a short style standard cap magazine of the normal kind (so getting more magazines of the same or different type is easy), the short style suiting this compact weapon better, particularly when wielded with the stock folded. The layout of the mass of this weapon is such that when shouldered with stock extended the user may find it front heavy. With stock folded, the weight centers on the front of the receiver, right in the middle of the weapon, a very balanced setup when moving though confined space with a compact weapon. The drum sight style backup irons sights add yet one more minor eccentricity which harkens to a brotherhood of proud non-Armalite weapons.

The ROF is decent out of the box, a little higher then average and at 375 fps it is squarely in the region of skirmish ready but of course should you find the desire to modify beyond the norm then its compatible internals will be more then accommodating when you turn to Redwolf custom services to hook you up. That said, 375 fps with a decent rate of fire in a weapon of this sort is nothing to scoff at, more then enough for a close to mid range assault type AEG.

If you are in the market for a SIG 55X series weapon then G&G is a serious contender. The various different versions replicate different type of SIG 55X with their varying lengths and details to suit different needs and tastes."
