The series of newest replicas by Amoeba Airsoft is based on a well-known construction of AR assault
rifles. These replicas, however, have been appropriately modified and upgraded
with many construction details and
interesting technical solutions, which not only increases its functionality
but also raises attractiveness of appearance. Due to its compact size AM-006 is
very hand and ideal for operation during CQB
scenarios.
The replica’s body is made from a reinforced nylon. The quality of used materials makes it
difficult to recognize at first glance that this is in fact polymer not metal.
The body bears effectively looking
markings, among others, the model, caliber and Amoeba Airsoft logo. Metal
parts include the outer barrel, thread cover and small elements. The pistol
grip is appropriately profiled and covered with rough, anti-slip texture, which provides a more sure and stable
grip. The integrated with the front forward grip improves maneuverability in
CQB. Magazine release button was
enlarged in order to ease the usage.
The battery is stored inside the upper part of the
receiver. Access to the Hop-Up adjustment is gained in a traditional way for
this type of constructions – by pulling back the charging handle and revealing
the shell ejector.
AM-004 features a
top, 22mm RIS rail, which allows for attachment to the replica a wide array
of additional accessories starting with optical sights and ending up with
tactical flashlights. The replica has a set of fixed iron sights.
The outer barrel has a 14mm, right-hand thread with a silencer mounted on it.
Amoeba Airsoft replicas have the ability of quick spring release without having to
disassemble the gearbox. The heart of the replica is a reinforced, slightly
modified gearbox v.2 with an integrated
EFCS – Electronic Firing Control System module. The module controls the
operation of trigger mechanism causing smooth operation and shortening the
motor’s reaction time to the pull of a trigger. A standard connector cube was
replaced with an electronic system. EFCS also includes an in-built MOSFET system.
EFCS significantly prolongs the longevity of the mechanism and, as a result, of the
entire replica. It also allows for use of high voltage batteries, including LiPo. After purchasing an external, dedicated EFCS programmer, the user has the ability to set the
sequence of firing modes as well as burst (3 rounds).
The magazine included in the set is a hi-cap capable
of holding 300 BBs. The magazine casing was
made from steel.
The set does not include a battery or a charger.
The
set includes:
- Replica
- Magazine
- User’s

NiCd
rechargeable battery is characterized by high efficiency
current-carrying capacity, but there are disruptive effect on memory.
Should be unloaded and loaded in the full cycle, ie, it is recommended
to fully discharge, and after unloading must charge the battery
immediately without leaving it for a long time in a discharged state.
NiMH batteries have a higher self-discharge over time and shorten the
life - on the other hand, they earn about 30% more capacity.
Blow back is a simulation system of the cocking lever - it imitates the work of it as the equivalent sharp. This system raises the realism and adds a lot more experience during shooting.
It is the spped of bb, while its leaving the innerbarrel of replica. This speed is measured in FPS (Feet Per Second).
1 FPS = 0,3 m/s
1 J = 99 m/s
1 J = 326,7 FPS
Indications v2, v3, v6 does not mean the level of advance, but only shape of gearbox skeleton which was used and selected by the manufacturer depending on the capabilities of the body of the replica. For example, a models of the M4/M16 family, MP5, have a v2 gearbox, while the AK family have gearbox v3.
Hop-Up system is used for overclocking bb during the shot (putting it in rotation), through which, it extends its flight path. Acting laws of physics make that bb lift up, while the gravitational force take it down. Appropriate adjustment of Hop-Up, will compensate for these two factors, which result in long and straight flight for longer distance and be greater focus shot (to improve accuracy).
