Arcturus AK-12 Steel-Bodied Modernized Airsoft AEG Rifle (Model: Perun MOSFET)

"FE Version

This replica is beautiful outside and in. No wobble anywhere except very minor in the stock (it's a buffer tube, it will wobble a little). Honestly, it's a very good price for what is offered, and since Arcturus isn't MAP protected as of writing, I got the replica for even cheaper, ~350$, and it outshines most everything else in its price bracket. I was shooting accurately at 250 feet with .30s with light wind.

Pros:
Externally built like a hammer
Great internals
AK Rotary Hop Up
ETU is cheap and great at what it does for the most part
Quick change spring
Comes with accurate AK12 muzzle brake, easy to remove orange tip
Realistic weight (can be a con, AKs are heavy)
Very short trigger pull, especially for an AK. You can spam the trigger with an 11.1v

Cons:
Cramped battery space (not Arcturus' fault, it's how the AK12 is built) I use the Titan power 11.1 1000 mAh battery, fits with some fiddling
My replica came with the barrel a quarter inch to the right, had to pay for a tech to fix it because I do NOT trust myself to fix the gun myself
The ETU will sometimes shoot twice on semi, and the ETU does 3 round burst instead of automatic on option 2 for firing modes

"(Fyi this is my to go gun)
This gun is a little of the heavier side of other competing AEG but it certainly does feel like a monster to shoot
You really cant go wrong with this gun as it is full metal and only the grip and stock and smaller pieces around the gun is polymer but the build quality is on point, and from experience it definitely catches eyes tho I use this AK more as an RPK with a bi pod and drum mag

In my eyes this is a 5/5 starter AEG "If you have the money and luck to acquire one" and if you do manage to snatch one you definitely wont regret it

"As other reviewers have previously stated: This thing is a beast! Best out of the box, mid-price aeg that you can get for the money. The build quality is awesome, the shot consistency is on point and the accuracy out of the box is just phenomenal. The microswitch trigger is just *chef's kiss* crispy and adds just a tad bit of feedback on every shot. ROF is nothing to write home about, but is fine. It comes with two magazines, and they are really good. The folding stock is sturdy and feels quite nice on the shoulder. The hop up is good and shoots lasers with .20s without any pressure. Just even a small amount of hop will make your bb's fly to the sky, so be careful.

This is my very first "serious" aeg, and let me tell ya, I'm not disappointed, not even a bit. It has its flaws, just as the real steel version, the top part of the handguard is not really as secure as you may want it to be, so no lasers and sights there. The lower rail is really small, way too small to fit an angled grip, but any zenitco-type grips fit just well. The rear irons are bad, like a real pain to use if you wear any type of mouth protection and the front sight gets in the way of low profile optics, so get a raiser.

Other than that, be aware that if you get the standard version, you might get the updated one with a deans plug. Also, the gun really loves to lock up if you have a speedy trigger finger on semi, but flip the selector to full auto and you are good to go.

Overall I give it a 10/10. Be mindful that it being a Russian weapon, what you see is what you get. No fancy ambi selector switches, no skeletonized furniture, and no additional bells and whistles. Don't gut it when you first get it, Arcturus did a great work with the internals on this beauty that you don't really have to upgrade anything besides the motor.
