G and G Arp Airsoft Gun

The replica came to us in a black and brownish box with Yard&G markings and a sticker showing the replica on a white background. The back of the box shows a brief history of the company, supplemented by an extensive description of its logo, the symbolism continued with information technology, also every bit a map of the globe presenting the distribution surface area of the Thousand&G make.

After removing the replica from the box, we have the impression that the gun is indeed compact and its appearance is extremely original and aggressive. In addition, it is very light, probably due to its size and a polymer receiver. The replica is very well assembled, there is no noticeable slack.

The receiver is a modified AR15 standard with a magwell adapted to handle ix mm round compatible magazines. At that place are no rounded shapes, known from the classic design, replaced by sharper, more pronounced finish. The receiver has engraved M&G markings at the height of the magazine well and a serial number higher up the trigger.

The five-inch forepart used a the licensed M-lok system and is made of metal. Information technology has a matt texture, pleasant to the touch, and engraved Thou-lock logo on both sides.

The collapsible butt stock is ane of the about interesting parts of this replica. It is comfortable and functional, but unfortunately it just has ii-position. By means of a button on the guide, we can extend it completely or collapse it dorsum. Sometimes, yet, one would wish there was a third position in betwixt the other 2, especially when we care nigh mobility in CQB environment. The designers have placed the battery compartment inside the butt stock guide where, unfortunately, likewise information technology, we must as well fit a MOSFET organization and a fuse. Fortunately, this inconvenience volition presently exist remedied as by the Bombardment EXTENSION Unit of measurement (BEU) will soon enter the market. It is an extension of the butt stock guide made by Airtech Studios and allows to fit a larger battery into the guide.

The replica has a ane-sided fire selector switch, known from the AR15 design, with 3 settings (safe, semi and auto) and a programmable motorcar mode that tin be turned into outburst style. The replica is equipped with a double-sided, ergonomic charging handle and an MP5 inspired mag release lever.

The magazine included in the set is a 1000&G 9 mm style carbine howdy-cap mag with a capacity of 300 BBs. It is made of a plastic that is pleasant to touch. The floor plate contains the wide comfy winding gear. Unfortunately, the whole mechanism is not stable, just it has no direct bear upon on its operation, yet it can be irritating during use. Fortunately, the manufacturer has a brusque, 30-circular and a long, sixty-round depression-cap magazines available, and for those who like to saturate the field with composite, there will as well be a hello-cap drum magazine with a capacity of 1500 Bulletin board system.

The replica comes with "iron" flip-upward sights. They are made of metal, have serial markings and are fully adaptable. The position locks are stiff enough so that they rarely fold themselves.

The outer barrel is fixed with a band. After unscrewing information technology, we can easily replace it with another i. The muzzle break is plastic, has a counterclockwise thread and is shaped like a flash amplifier.

Internal parts

The replica is congenital based on the well known TM system. Later on removing the forepart pin, we slide the upper receiver frontwards, thanks to which the pin remains locked and you do not have to worry about its accidental loss. This gives us access to the hop-upwardly chamber and the barrel. To disassemble the butt stock, we must unscrew a screw located inside the butt stock guide.

Inside you will notice a polymer rotational Hop-Up chamber with G&G markings, identical to the i plant in the K&G TR16 MBR 556WH. The chamber knob rotates with clearly noticeable intervals, which makes it easier to set the spacer's pressure on the bucking. The bucking is blue, soft and resistant to hardening in depression temperatures. Information technology has a characteristic divide rotation inducing nub, resembling ane found in the PDI Westward-concurbucking. This solution flattens the trajectory of fired BBs and increases the repeatability of shots. The set uses a traditional, rubber cylinder-shaped spacer. The butt, with a length of 128 mm, is made of aluminum and has is beveled at the exiting end.

To pull the gearbox from the lower receiver we have to unscrew the pistol grip, then the barrel stock, take out the rear pin and the trigger pin. The centre of the replica is a very interesting, reinforced Grand&One thousand gearbox. It has a reinforcement at the bottom of the front part and groves/grinding marks at the superlative of the cylinder caput, i.e. in places where the gearbox usually breaks. It is held together with Phillips screws. Interestingly, we unscrew them from the left side, unlike the traditional V2 gearboxes, where the screw heads are on the right side of the frame.

Within the gearboxnosotros have a very airtight pneumatic arrangement. The Blazon two cylinder houses a standard polymer piston with a polymer cylinder caput on which there is a green o-ring resistant to low temperatures, well known from other One thousand&G designs. The sealed cylinder head is besides made of polymer, besides as a nozzle which is 21.38 mm long. The tapped plate is blackness and fabricated of relatively hard plastic.

The electrical trigger system, called the G&Grand Electric Trigger Unit, in the form of an electronic plate in a red plastic housing, is part of a MOSFET, which has been minimized and now occupies less space in the butt stock. We practise not need whatsoever additional devices to program the trigger. It is enough that in the semi-machine style we hold the trigger for x seconds to change the full automobile fashion into the outburst manner. To return to full auto style, we echo the performance or unplug the battery dorsum and so plug information technology back in.

The replica uses steel G&G gears with a standard ratio, mounted on eight millimeter bushings.

The replica is powered by a case a long type IFRIT 25Kmotor with stiff magnets, which tin be easily used with upgrading the replica. It has a silver casing and an orange back panel.

Shooting

ARP9 can exist called an airsoft "cricket". It is very loud and fires actually fast: 1160 rpm using a Li-Po 11.1V battery is a pretty good result. It does not accept astonishing power, considering it oscillates around 375 fps, its piece of cake to pin an opponent down using it. The manufacturer has released a pulsate-type magazine, which will surely raise the psychological reward on the battlefield. When it comes to accuracy, practice non look miracles: the stock, aluminum, thirteen centimeters long butt is not of the highest quality, but at close range the BBs fly straight enough and with relatively skillful grouping. In the full automobile way, at a greater distance, we will cover an opponent with a hail of Bbs, which increases the chance of scoring a hit, so "Spray and Pray" as they say.

Summary

ARP9 past Thousand&M is an original concept, combining interesting design and a meaty construction, ideal for playing CQB games. The replica is very handy and comfortable, it's a compassion, however, that the manufacturer decided to used a butt stock with only two settings: information technology tin be annoying sometimes. The simple programming of the trigger, without the need for an external programmer, is a definite plus. The replica is loud and fast-firing, which ofttimes leads to "pinning" of an opponent who is unable to lean out from behind cover. The downside may be the unusual magazines, their size and availability on the market, but the designers take also prepared an alternative to ARP9, the ARP556, based on standard AR type magazines. The ARP9 is a replica for mobile players, who appreciate the its handiness and originality. Using it gives a lot of fun and, at the same time, introduces some freshness into the airsoft market.

Nosotros would like to thank G&G Armament for making their replica available for testing
