A cheap D'Cobra springer is transformed into a functional Automatic Electric Gun (AEG) by Hobby Abi. He walks us through the latest updates on this ongoing build, comparing it to its humble beginnings. While the exterior body structure remains mostly familiar, several modifications have been introduced to step up its game.

The external updates feature a 3D-printed muzzle, front and rear iron sights, and a riser mount that locks the front rail assembly securely to the main frame. On the mechanical side, the internals received a notable bump with an upgrade to an 11.1-volt battery pack. Additionally, the feeding system transitions to an aftermarket AEG magazine, replacing the original feeding mechanism.

Perhaps the most satisfying additions are the working dust cover and the inclusion of a rotary hop-up chamber, giving the build a more authentic feel. He then does a demonstration by dry-firing the unit across its different selector modes to show that the wiring actually works.
