The assault rifle replica which was the standard rifle of American troops during the Vietnam conflict, is made of metal and ABS plastic. The front-grip, the body and the butt-stock which holds the battery and the front grip's covering panels are made of plastics. The rest of the elements such as the outer barrel, the cocking handle, the grips and most of the minor elements are made of metal. The casing of its short, often called 'Vietnam type' hi-cap magazine (which holds 190 BB pellets) is also made of metal.
The long barrel (510mm) ensures a high precision of shots what in combination with the muzzle velocity of about 360FPS what makes the replica a very precise weapon which is perfect for the first line assaultman and for a sniper. The barrel is ended with a 14mm counter-clockwise thread which allows to mount a sound suppressor.
The replica is equipped with a reinforced gearbox frame and a metal spring guide and also metal thread-wheels with eight anti-reversal levers and a bearing motor thread. The JG company's part are known of their durability and resistance for natural use what significantly improves the replica's lifespan and also lowers the cost of a potential power tune up.
The set includes:
- the replica,
- a magazine,
- a battery,
- a charger
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).
