Ordered from AirsoftGI on July 21 2007.
Received: Honestly cant remember. July 28-30 I believe.
Airsoft GI description:
"Magazine capacity: Standard 68 rds, High Cap 330 rds
Length: 805mm
Height: 225mm
Muzzle velocity: 280fps
Accuracy: 120 feet
Battery pack size: Small battery
Package includes: gun, manual, battery, charger
Description: The AUG has limited metal parts just like the real steel and feels very sturdy. This version comes in a black finish and is equipped with a metal scope mount built on so you can mount any optics system you desire!"
First Impressions:
When I got home from school to see a large brown box on my doorstep I could barely hold in my excitement. I ran up the stairs and picked up the box (which was surprisingly heavier than I thought). I brought it into my room and dove right in. I just tossed the other things I ordered aside so I could straight to my new gun. The first thing i noticed as I pulled the JG box out of the shipping box was the great Engrish on the box. "Emulational, High-Powered, Nicety." With that aside..
Here's what came in the box:
-AUG
-Charger
-8.4v Battery
-Manual
-Cleaning Rod
-1 Hi-Cap Mag
-Airsoft GI Test Paper
-Cheap Plastic Sights
-Small bag of 200 .2g BBs
The Gun:
I’ll start this section off by listing all the metal parts on this gun…
Screws (obviously)
Upper receiver
Outer Barrel
Front Sling Mount
Rear Sling Mount.
Gear Box
Rail
Outer Barrel release button
Plastic Parts:
Foregrip
Body of the gun
Open Sights (If you decided to use them, God forbid you do)
Rubber Parts:
Ejection Port Cover (Can be moved onto left or right.)
Butt Plate
Moving Outer Parts (Starting from the rear of the gun):
-The rear sling mount swivels around like it should. At first glance it seems that the sling mount is one solid piece that goes through the butt of the gun, but upon removing the butt plate you see that the sling mount is only attached to one side and a metal button is on the other to give the appearance of a solid sling mount.
-The plastic Magazine release, I don’t really have anything to say about this. Umm one thing I will say is that it’s nice and firm so you wont have to worry about knocking the mag out during play.
- Ejection port covers –Will elaborate on this when discussing the Charging bolt.
-Upper Receiver release button- Pushing this to the right (when barrel is facing away from you) will release the entire upper receiver.
-Safety- See a white dot it’s on safe, red dot means it’s live.
-Trigger, This is one of the reasons why I love the AUG. Unlike most guns the AUG does not come with a selector switch to Semi-automatic to full automatic. To change the firing mode of the AUG is as easy and building a nuclear missile (Joke there). For semi-Automatic fire you pull the trigger half-way back and for full automatic you do a full pull. The trigger gives slight resistance when going to full automatic so you wont accidentally go full auto when only wanting semi.
-The Charging Bolt- This can be pulled back, which also pulls back the ejection port cover which in-turn exposes the hop-up. The bolt can be locked back making hop-up adjustment a lot easier. There is also a button on the top of the charging bolt, just like the real AUG, but it has no function here.
-Foregrip- I’ve heard stories about this piece being the weakest link on this gun, That is why I tend to leave it folded up. When the grip is deployed it wiggles A LOT. From the stories I heard it seems the pin connecting the grip to the gun is what breaks. This is an easy fix
The looks:
Personally I thought this gun looked great. It wasn’t too shiny out of the box, and the metal forward assembly and metal receiver looked really nice. It had a decent finish on it as well. But one thing that did bug me was the flash hider…The law is that ¼ of an inch of the end of the gun has to be Blaze orange, but on the AUG that whole flash hider (2 ¾ inches) is Blaze orange
Performance:
R.O.F.- Approx, 800 RPM
FPS- 330 FPS (big difference from the 280 stated on the site. The gun was chronoed before it was shipped (ASGI test paper) then chronoed at a local paintball field.)
The range on this gun was pretty good. I could hit things constantly from about 100’-125’, this was with a cheap red dot I bought, I discourage using the provided flip-up sights in a skirmish because they will only **** you over.. The gun feels really sturdy as well, there was no flex at all in the body. The combination of the Metal parts at the front and metal gearbox makes this gun really balanced.
Conclusion:
The gun feels amazing when you hold it. The weight is good and the material feels nice, but be a bit cautious with the foregrip and rear sling mount. It holds its own in skirmishes and at $115(shipped) with 300+FPS stock it’s a pretty good AEG. I would recommend this gun to those who want a nice bullpup at a good price. But I do recommend buying some sort or sight for it because the ones that come with it are complete crap. The AUG can easily be field stripped into 3 parts for easy cleanup/repair.
Pros:
Cost $115(shipped)
Good accuracy
Good stock FPS
Nice feel to it.
Gearbox is easy to get to
Cons:
Foregrip is wobbly
Mag well has a slight jiggle
Fear id rear sling mount breaking
Flash hider being bright orange.
Please Excuse the horrible pictures… I only have a camera phone which is just 1.3 MP.
The AUG field stripped into 3 pieces
AUG With no Mag
AUG with mag
Just the AUG
Charging bolt in forward position
Charging bolt locked back
Hop-up Exposed while charging bolt is locked back
Foregrip up
Foregrip Down
Barrel when field stripped
Body when field stripped
Upper Receiver when Field stripped
