Ding of L'Antre Du Dingo takes a good look at the CYMA CM.113B, a tactical AKS74U that looks like it walked out of a modern action movie. He quickly points out that this isn't your grandfather’s budget plastic Cyma; it’s a solid piece of gear featuring a mix of steel, aluminum, and a bit of polymer. It comes with a fancy adjustable folding stock and a "Zenitco" style handguard that offers plenty of space for lights, lasers, and whatever else one might want to bolt onto it. Despite its compact size, it has some heft to it, coming in at around three kilograms, which provides a sturdy feel for those who don’t mind a minor workout during a match.

On the technical side, the replica features a snappy internal system with high-speed gears and an electronic trigger that makes the firing cycle feel quite responsive. Ding notes that the firing rate is brisk, reaching over 20 rounds per second with a standard 11.1V battery. While the performance is steady, there is a small quirk regarding the muzzle brake alignment and a slightly dated hop-up adjustment style. It looks like CYMA decided to keep some old-school charm in those departments, even if modern players might have preferred a few more updates for the price.

Practical testing shows that the replica is accurate enough for typical engagement distances, though the Ding warns against overstuffing the magazines to avoid minor consistency issues. Swapping the spring for a weaker one is possible without a full teardown, though it requires a bit of patience and a screwdriver. Overall, it is presented as a capable and aggressive-looking choice for players who want a tactical AK that works well right out of the box, provided they are okay with a grip that might feel a bit chunky for those with smaller hands.
