Redmantoys features a functional test of a WE AK-74 airsoft gas blowback rifle before it is shipped to a customer. He highlights the construction of the model, noting the use of real wood and metal components rather than the plastic found on some other versions. To prove the point, he even breaks out a magnet to show which parts of the body are actually metallic, though he admits he is still getting used to the specific layout of this AK model.

The demonstration moves on to a bit of a guessing game with the fire selector switch. Since the AK configuration differs from the more common M4 style, he spends a moment clicking through the settings to identify safe, semi-auto, and full-auto modes. He also provides a quick tutorial on loading the magazine, suggesting a finger-assisted method that makes the process easier even if you happen to misplace the included loader.

During the performance test, the rifle shows off its kick with a few rounds through a chronograph, clocking in at nearly 400 FPS initially. The blowback action is lively enough to give the shooter a decent nudge, though the gas levels seem to dip toward the end of the session. With the tests complete and the rifle confirmed to be in working order, the unit is cleared and prepped for its journey to the buyer in Zambales in the Philippines.
