Type:AEG Airsoft Rifles Manufacturer: G&G. Model:RK Beta AK Materials: Mostly metal/some plastic. Weight: 7.1 pounds (3.2 kg). Total Length: 28.5 inches (72.4 cm). Barrel: 9 inches (22.9 cm) barrel non-rifled. Propulsion: AEG. Action: Single action semi & full auto. Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB’s. Ammunition Capacity: High cap 600 round magazine. FPS: 390 fps.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the G&G RK Beta AK AEG Airsoft Rifle is short and light as it is basically a simple electric on/off switch that completes a circuit and tells the motor to turn, which activates the cycling of the spring piston. For this reason there is no real creep or feel of a release. When you get to a preset point in the trigger, the motor circuit is closed allowing for either semi or full auto, depending on your selector switch position at the time.
Accuracy: I will be making a dedicated Field Test Shooting Video for the G&G RK Beta AK AEG Airsoft Rifle to find out what the actual velocity is in fps. I will also test what kind of accuracy I can get shooting a paper target in both semi and full auto from 30 feet away. For now I have no idea what to expect but as this is most certainly not a cheap Airsoft AEG Rifle, I am hoping for good results to justify the higher price point.
Build Quality: The build quality of the G&G RK Beta AK AEG Airsoft Rifle is very good, G&G Airsoft Rifles in general are well built. You are going to find metal in most of this AEG Airsoft Rifle including the receiver, dust cover, trigger guard, trigger, selector switch, barrel, front and rear sights and the magazine. The only plastic to be found will be in the pistol grip, rear stock and 3 of the picatinny rails. Fit and finish is very good but the stock and pistol grip material does seem to show scratches really easily.
Realism: The G&G RK Beta AK AEG Airsoft Rifle is a 1 to 1 scale Airsoft reproduction of the AK 47/74 in a compact modernized version. I don’t believe it is based on exactly one specific brand or type of AK 47 or AK 74, but is more or less a stylized version designed and built by G&G. The G&G RK Beta AK AEG Airsoft Rifle does have a lot of metal and weight to it adding to the realism and most of the mechanical parts work similar to a real steel version of an AK 47/74. G&G has added a bit of a bolt cycle motion with a motor that actuates it to some degree but this is not like the look and feel of a real internal bolt from an actual AK 47/74. Still a nice touch.
Pros:
Lots of metal in construction where you need it with good overall weight and feel.
6 rail attachment options up front for lots of mounting positions.
Left side option to attach an additional AK style sight mount.
Adjustable front sight for elevation.
Nice and compact for easy maneuverability.
Rear stock has lots of room for battery sizes and options.
Dust cover comes off for easy access to internals.
G&G high quality build.
Comes with sling mounting options.
Super easy hopup adjustment slider.
Nice high capacity 600 round metal magazine.
No orange tip.
Cons:
Rear sight is all but useless.
Stock and grip scratch really easily.
Priced on the higher side.
Comments:
The G&G RK Beta AK AEG Airsoft Rifle may be priced a bit on the high side for some people but it is a solid AEG Airsoft Rifle and it seems there are not as many AK options out there so it is nice to have an offering from G&G. I like the almost full metal construction and I find the modernized styling and compact size to be appealing and would make it a great option for CQB Airsoft games. I am not sure what is going on with the rear site, as it looks like it is a sight, but does not have the sight grove in it? Maybe I am missing something here but other than opting to put a red dot way up front, your only other option is to put an AK side rail and mount a sight on the rear just above the metal dust cover. I am hoping when I make my Field Test Shooting Video for the G&G RK Beta AK AEG Airsoft Rifle, it performs well for me to justify the higher price point.
My Vimeo Table Top Review for the G&G RK Beta AK AEG Airsoft Rifle:
Here is Bonus Video Five in my series of Full Auto Fun videos I make each summer where I pick a few Full Auto Airguns and record some fun outside shooting with them. In this years Full Auto Fun Video series I do a bit of a walk around on my property and shoot a bunch of water filled pop cans. Maybe this doesn’t sound super exciting but I do use some really creative camera angles to capture it all which makes it lot more interesting to watch for sure!
In this Fifth Bonus Full Auto Fun Video I bring out a past Full Auto Fun Airgun that I just couldn’t resist takin out for some full auto fun once again. The WE AK74UN Gas Blowback Full Auto Airsoft Rifle has got to be one of the hardest blowback Airguns I have shot, I would say even a bit more blowback feel than the KWA Mini UZI! The WE AK74UN Gas Blowback Full Auto Airsoft Rifle also does a great job of keeping Airsoft BB’s on target even in full auto with all that recoil as you will see in this video as I dial it in part way through my walk about. Unfortunately we do not sell anything like this anymore at least in Airsoft, the closest thing to it is the Crosman AK1 Blowback CO2 Full Auto BB Rifle which is still a lot of fun with a bit less recoil but a higher rate of fire.
I have another Huge Mystery Box to open and share with everyone, this one was even larger and heavier than the last one! You are going to have to watch the video to get all the details on what is actually inside but I can say there are 4 AEG Airsoft Rifles from a new to us company called Arcturus in both AR and AK versions and 2 CO2 Non Blowback Replica Pellet Pistols from KWC.
I do have a some more videos to make from the last Mystery Box Preview being a Specna Arms AEG PDW AR Airsoft Rifle and a Paintball Pump Shotgun that I still need to make both Table Top and Field Test Shooting Video for.
I have another Full Auto Fun Video this one focusing on 4.5mm Steel BB Versus 6mm Plastic and which one is better in terms of accuracy and shredding power. I perform this super scientific test by shooting obviously in full auto two comparable Steel BB and Plastic Airsoft Rifles at a paper target setup 20 feet away with a magazine as a backer so I can see what the accuracy is like and how much of the paper magazine gets shredded by each ammo being tested.
I have split this video into three separate videos, in video one I compare two similar AR styled rifles, a CO2 powered Blowback 4.5mm BB Rifle to a Gas Blowback 6mm Airsoft Rifle. In video two I compare two AK type Blowback Rifles to each otters, again a CO2 4.5mm Steel BB along with a Gas 6mm Airsoft.
And lastly in Video three I compare my top picks for each category which include a non-Blowback CO2 4.5mm BB Machine gun to an AEG 6mm Airsoft Rifle.
This is Video 2 of the Full Auto Fun 2022 video series where I shoot my Crosman AK1 Duel CO2 Full Auto BB Machine Gun at some water filled cans and a paper gel target just for some good old fun times! In Video 1 which is already posted, I tested out the Crosman A4-P Duel CO2 Full Auto BB Gun. And in Video 3 which I have not posted yet I will be shooting the Air Ordnance SMG .22 which is a PCP powered Full Auto .22 Caliber Pellet Machine Gun to finish this 2022 Full Auto Fun Series off.
Again I wanted to mention we are having a Halloween sale in our Canada Replica Airguns Store from Thursday October 29th till Sunday November 1st 2015 so don't miss out on this one!
On Saturday I went to a Halloween House party, my Brother in-law and his wife put on a Halloween party pretty much every year, usually a week before which works out great for me since I have kids and Halloween night is usually reserved for them.
Getting dressed up a week before is great since it gives me the opportunity to record a video of me in my final completed Halloween outfit so I can share it with all of you. Even though I don't get to complete in the Replica Airguns Annual Halloween Costume Contest Giveaway, at least I get to have some fun and dress up :)
So enjoy my Rambo Costume this year and if you want to know what was needed to pull off this Halloween Costume then watch this video.
If you're interested in getting involved in this years Replica Airguns 2015 Halloween Costume Giveaway then watch this video.
Before I get into the detail of my Rambo Costume this year I wanted to mention we are having a Halloween sale in our Canada Replica Airguns Store from Thursday October 29th till Sunday November 1st 2015.
Continuing on with the Halloween Theme... this YouTube video showcases my Rambo Halloween Costume components. I will be dressing up in full costume and sharing the video very soon but wanted to show you al my Halloween Costume bits and pieces most of which I already had which made my costume pretty easy and low cost this year :)
So what does one need to be Rambo for Halloween?
Some heavy duty black boots for sure and beat up is better.
You pant choice could be jeans, camo or all black depending on which movie Rambo you pick, I went with Black cargo style pants and an olive green belt.
You are going to want a dark color wife beater (tank top) as this is a classic Rambo attire, another option is to go shirtless if you are brave enough to do so :)
I would imagine most people are not going to have that 80's long hair so you will probably need some sort of a dark brown curly or wavy wig. I figure the bigger the hair the better. To keep all that hair out of your eyes, Rambo often wore a headband in either black or red, this will also help keep the wig in place.
In terms of weaponry a large kick-ass knife should be strapped to one leg and for firepower, go with bigger is better and a classic trusted machine gun like the AK or M60.
One optional item you can add to your Rambo Halloween Costume all be it one I plan to go with is an Ammo Belt because there simply is never too much ammo!
Finish off the entire package with a few days worth of stubble and some makeup to give you that been through hell dirty and bloodied up look.
OK we are one step closer to having stock on some Airsoft guns. I have 4 new full-auto rifles for you to choose from in our Canada and US Replica Airguns Stores. In the US Replica Airguns Store they are in stock and ready to sell but we have to wait just a bit for them here in the Canada Replica Airguns Store so I am giving the Canadian version a bit of a pre-sale price reduction to give you some incentive!
The Canadian versions are all high velocity and shoot in the 450 fps range to allow us to sell them to you here in Canada in the "non-clear" solid metal and polymer versions since they will be classified as "non-regulated firearms" just like a regular airgun.
And yes I will be reviewing these Airsoft rifles for you, hopefully all of them :)
