Huey1 Airsoft finds the Cybergun Airsoft AKS-74U AEG better than his Lancer Tactical version... "I’m so excited for this AK. It is such an improvement to my previous AK-47 by Lancer Tactical. With a great price, as well as exceptional externals and internals, the airsoft AKS-74U by Cubergun is one of the best Airsoft AKs you can buy. I purchased the gun as well as 4 E&L AK74 series Bakelite Brown mid-cap mags off Evike.com for $180.15 I highly recommend this gun.
If you want a no-frills and reliable CQB weapon apart from the 9mm and AR-style AEGs, the AKS-74U is what you will be looking for. Even the affordble ones such as the offering from Double Bell will do the job. Simidim has one and says it slays in a game... "Welcome back! This time I am using my Double Bell AKS-74U to defend against the enemy team & to stop them beating our time!"
The Toy Gun Garrison Video Team does a 45-second quick look at the Academy AKS-74U AEG (in Japanese)... "I shot the Academy-made electric gun AKS-74U Klinkov. An electric gun that runs on 6 AA batteries. You can switch between semi-auto and full-auto with the selector on the right side of the main unit.
Hephaestus Airsoft posted on their Facebook page photos of their Custom GHK AKS-74U Gas Blowback rifle. This comes with ambidextrous controls, a railed handguard for weapons accessories, a side mount base for optics rail mount, and the Zenitco PK-3 Pistol Grip which we don't know if it is a replica or not.
For users of the GHK or LCT Airsoft AKS74U or AKMSU Series can look forward to having this mount based designed by Hephaestus. The Mount Base for GHK/LCT AKS-74U/AKMSU Series will allow them to mount compact RMR-type dot sights or perhaps other quick reflex compact sights (check with them first) without the need for tools or drilling holes on the side to side to install a scope mount.
Some custom work will go wrong, even to the best. In this new episode of Booligan's Bad Decisions, he shows this weathered AKS74U project which didn't go exactly according to plan... "Adding several years worth of rust and wear to a gun in just a few short days is usually never a great idea. This job on my Javelin Battle Veteran AKS74U was no exception. I used soda, a sandblaster, salt water, acid, a BBQ, and even a sand box to get this 'patina.'"
Here's the latest review from Boologam complete with full text (click the link below) and video... "This video is a follow-up to my earlier video and review on the Bravo Airsoft AKS-74U. I wanted to take advantage of the light weight and decided to build it into an AK pistol, fully capable of causing some havoc in CQB use. Also featured in this video is a Kryptek sling available through Airsoft Atlanta."
The new GHK AKS74U Gas Blowback Rifle is now in stock at WGC Shop and priced at US$450.00. This is total redesign of the AKS74U by GHK where they built it from scratch rather than using existing AEG bodies from DBoys. The magazine has a capacity of 50 rounds and a muzzle velocity of 360-390fps with Top Gas.
