Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Acturus AK06 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle like other AEG Rifles is not mechanical as it is essentially electrical driven so basically it is an on/off switch that is closest in feel to a single action only trigger since it is light and short. You will notice a slight delay between pressing the trigger and the actual round being fired since the trigger activates a motor which first pulls the air spring back. Once the spring is fully drawn back it releases and compresses the air which then propelled the 6mm Airsoft BB. The higher voltage battery you use like an 11.1 volt will shorten the delay as the motor will spin faster and pull back the spring quicker allowing for less noticeable delay and also a higher rate of full auto fire which in this rifle is very noticeable.
Accuracy: I have not Field Test Reviewed the Acturus AK06 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle or even tried it out yet. I hope to get to my Field Test Shooting Video for the AK06 later next week, until then we can assume it will shoot similar to most other AEG rifles with tighter bore barrels. I am expecting at least a 2 inch grouping at 30 feet down range in semi auto. In terms of velocity the test paper work it comes with claims around 370fps.
Build Quality: The Acturus AK06 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle is almost all metal in design with from what I can tell only the pistol grip being plastic. The receiver and top dust cover are both hardened steel with the receiver made out of stamped steel just like areal AK. The AK06 is nice and heavy for its size and the fit and finishes is very good all around. Internal parts are all of high quality too.
Realism: The Acturus AK06 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle is based on the AK platform with this version being a more compact and tactical model. Externally it looks the part for sure, holding it in your hands it feels the part too. As expected the insides are all Airsoft but you would need ot take the dust cover off or pull back the charging handle to figure this out. Again the Acturus AK06 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle is an almost all metal Airsoft Gun with an actual stamped steel receiver and steel dust cover, it’s hard to get much more realistic looking and feeling than that.
Pros:
Lots of mounting options: Picatinny rails, M-LOK, AK/SVD Side Rail.
Semi and full auto selectable.
All metal folding rear stock.
Mostly metal construction and lots of actual steel including the receiver and dust cover.
Lots of weight to it at 6 pounds, feels awesome to hold.
Comes with two magazines, one Hi Cap and one Mid Cap.
Comes with a secondary all black squared off flash hider.
Super compact design.
Quick change spring system.
Easy to get to and adjust rotary hop-up adjustment.
Should be good for longer range shooting with nice high claimed fps.
Cons:
Will need a very specific battery type, thin and long.
Sights are non adjustable.
Folding type rear stock not adjustable for pull length.
Comments:
The Acturus AK06 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle along with the other Acturus AK Airsoft Rifles is in my opinion one of the nicest AEG AK based Airsoft rifles you can get, at least in the mid price ranges. Being all metal with actual stamped steel parts really makes the AK06 feel realistic and of high quality. I also like the compact tactical features of the Acturus AK06 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle making it easy to put in a backpack but not too heavy to lug around all day long. The Acturus AK06 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle also has a decent velocity and fairly fast rate of fire especially when using a higher voltage battery so you can expect excellent performance even from such a small compact AEG Airsoft Rifle.
