Type:Airsoft AEG Rifle. Manufacturer: Novritsch. Model: SSR77. Materials: Metal and plastic. Weight: 7.72 pounds (3.5 kg). Total Length: 33 inches (85cm). Barrel Length: 20 inches (51cm). Barrel: Metal non-rifled. Propulsion: AEG. Action: Semi and full auto single action only two stage trigger. Hop-up: Adjustable hop-up via ejection port. Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB's. Ammunition Capacity: 180 round full size drop out transparent plastic magazine. FPS: 400.
Trigger Pull: The trigger on the Novritsch SSR77 AEG Airsoft Rifle is very different from most triggers I have used. It is a two stage trigger where in stock out of the box mode allows for a partial pull of the trigger to shoot in semi auto with a full pull of the trigger allowing for full auto. You can program the two stages of the trigger using the ETU to function differently than out of the box by setting up the semi auto stage to do a double tap so it will shoot when you pull the trigger lightly, and then as you release the trigger it will shoot a second time. You can also change the full auto full trigger pull to shoot in burst mode rather than full auto. There are a number of configurations you can choose from.
Accuracy: I have not shot the Novritsch SSR77 AEG Airsoft Rifle or tested it out so far here in the Sea Can indoor shooting range, so I don’t really have a lot to say in terms of accuracy or if it is close to the claimed 400 fps by Novritsch. I will be making a full dedicated Field Test Shooting Video for it shortly when I get caught up with all my Field Test Shooting Videos. Stay posted for that upcoming Field Test Shooting Video.
Build Quality: Novritsch is a new product line for me so I have not really had hands on with any of their guns so far. My first impressions are that Novritsch makes very good quality Airsoft products using high quality materials such as solid fiber-reinforced nylon and CNC machined aluminum with well thought out designs. The Novritsch SSR77 AEG Airsoft Rifle is on the heavier side as it is very well built with lots of metal where you would expect it to be, similar to the real steel Steyr AUG.
Realism: The Novritsch SSR77 AEG Airsoft Rifle is a very believable Airsoft Replica of the Steyr UAG Bullpup Rifle. It even weighs about the same at 7.72 pounds. It is an AEG Airsoft Rifle so mechanical the internals are very different but the controls do work for the most part in a similar fashion, like the selector controls, magazine release, charging handle for access to the hop-up and the barrel is even removable like there real steel version. The Novritsch SSR77 AEG Airsoft Rifle does come preinstalled with an orange flash hider which takes away from there realism, but that can be removed and replaced with something different.
Pros:
Comes with the 3x optics scope built into the build design.
Programable trigger allows for a lot of combinations of semi, burst and full auto shooting choices.
Bullpup design makes the rifle more compact in terms of length but you still have a longer barrel.
Build materials are of high quality.
Does incorporate a Quick Spring change system.
CNC Hop-Up Chamber & Nozzle.
Unique trigger setup allows for simultaneous semi and full auto shooting, short pull for Semi Auto and long pull for Full Auto.
See though magazine so you can see how full it is.
Sling mount up front and on rear stock.
Good replica of the Steyr AUG.
With the barrel removed it is very compact and easy to transport.
Cons:
Is on the heavier side.
Hope you like the scope as it is the only option as it is built into the design.
I’m not a fan of the look.
Programming the trigger is a bit complicated.
Comments:
Personally I do not like the look of the Steyr AUG but it is growing on me a little bit. Practically speaking it is a really well thought out riffle using the bullpup design to keep it short even with a longer 20 inch barrel. It is also nice that the 3x optical scope is built into the deign of the Novritsch SSR77 AEG Airsoft Rifle so you are all setup but if you want something like a red dot or maybe higher powered scope your options are going to be very limited. The two stage trigger setup is really cool, you can shoot in either semi or full auto just by how you press the trigger rather than having to change between the two options like most semi and full auto rifles. Some other positives are the see through magazine, the quick spring change system, being sling ready and the ability to shorten the gun up significantly for transport by removing the barrel. A very unique AEG Airsoft Rifle for sure.
Type:Airsoft GBB Rifle. Manufacturer: Novritsch. Model: SSQ22. Materials: Metal and plastic. Weight: 4 pounds (1.8 kg). Total Length: 32.7 inches (83cm). Barrel Length: 14.6 inches (37cm). Barrel: Metal non-rifled. Propulsion: Green gas. Action: Semi auto single action only trigger. Hop-up: Adjustable top mount hop-up. Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB's. Ammunition Capacity: 36 round full size drop out plastic/metal magazine. FPS: 400+.
Trigger Pull: The Single Action Only trigger pull on the Novritsch SSQ22 GBB Airsoft Rifle is a lot like what you would find on a real steel Ruger 10/22. It is short and light in action making it light and quick enough for action shooting or sniping with accuracy from long range. You will have to work the bolt to load an Airsoft BB in to the breach and ready the single action trigger for the first shot, but then the blowback action will do that for you for the rest of the shots.
Accuracy: I have not shot the Novritsch SSQ22 GBB Airsoft Rifle or tested it out so far, so I don’t really have much to say in terms of accuracy or if it is close to the claimed 400+ fps, but I will be making a full dedicated Field Test Shooting Video for it a bit down the road when I get caught up with my Field Test Shooting Videos. So until then we will have to wait and see,
Build Quality: Novritsch is a new product line for me so I have not had much hands on with any of their guns so far. My first impressions are that they make very good quality Airsoft products using high quality materials with well thought out designs. The Novritsch SSQ22 GBB Airsoft Rifle is not super heavy even though it does incorporate a fair amount of metal components including CNC machined aluminum.
Realism: The Novritsch SSQ22 GBB Airsoft Rifle is not an exact copy or Replica of a Ruger 10/22 22LR Rifle but it does share a lot of its design and mechanical functions. Most people when they buy a base Ruger 10/22 generally do a lot of upgrading and modifications to them that ultimately make it look a lot more like the Novritsch SSQ22 GBB Airsoft Rifle at the end of the day. As it is Gas Blowback it functions very similar to the real steel version with working blowback action which does give a bit of recoil to it and allows for a very nice short and light single action trigger.
Pros:
Mostly all metal design.
Gas-efficient nozzle assembly, CNC machined Hop-Up chamber, and Maple Leaf 60° bucking with a large nub surface.
Easy to access and adjustable hop-up, up to 0.46g BBs out of the box.
Multiple M-LOK Mounting Options (Sides and bottom).
Three preinstalled QD Sling mounts on each side.
Front groove similar to gas pistol mags. You can see how many BBs are left in your magazine.
Skeletonized stock with a rubber pad that is attached to a Picatinny rail.
Nice GBB recoil with each shot.
Compact and light weight, easy to carry on the filed.
Ruger 10/22 owners will be use to this design.
Cons:
Does not come with any sights, will need to add one.
Only shoots in semi auto to conserve ammo.
Has preinstalled orange tip but can be removed.
Comments:
I am always a sucker for Gas Blowback Airguns in general and with Airsoft Rifles the vast majority tend to be AEG’s, so when I get the chance to review a GBB Airsoft rifle, I am always a bit excited to do so. The Novritsch SSQ22 GBB Airsoft Rifle has a lot going for it, there are lots of metal parts where you want them to be, a great single action trigger, mounting options for a red dot or optical sight along with M-LOK on the sides and bottom for whatever accessories you plan to add to it. It’s nice that it starts out pretty light as the addition of a scope, perhaps a foregrip, maybe a taclight and or laser will bring up the weight. I most certainly am looking forward to the Field Test Shooting Video so I can see how this one performs.
In this months Replica Airguns Mystery Unboxing Preview Video, I take a look at 4 new items that showed up at my door. Two Airsoft Rifles, one being AEG and the other one a GBB. I also received two accessories for the GEM Alias super tiny multi ammo CO2 Pistol, A .50 caliber Paintball Barrel for it and and a 12 gram CO2 Adapter.
Both Airsoft Rifles are new to me from a company called Novritsch which is a higher end brand so the pricing is not cheap for either Airsoft Rifle. It was nice to get an AEG and GBB to review, the Novritsch SSR77 AEG Airsoft Rifle is a Replica of the Steyr AUG while the Novritsch SSQ22 GBB Airsoft Rifle is essentially a custom modded Ruger 10/22 copy, at least from what I can tell, it is solid and really well built.
I have already made a Table Top Video for the GEM Alias CO2 Pistol but I have been waiting for the .50 Caliber Paintball Barrel to show up so I can test out all 4 barrel ammo options. I also really wanted the 12 gram CO2 Adapter so I don’t have to use the small 8 gram CO2’s which are harder to find and not as cost effective as the 12 gram CO2. So now I am totally ready to make the GEM Field Test Shooting Review.
