Hello! Today I am happy to give
my review of Airsoft A&K Dragunov SVD Spring Sniper Rifle
my review of Airsoft A&K Dragunov SVD Spring Sniper Rifle
When
I got to my hands a gray box with no overprints on it, I had no idea what was
going to happen. While I was standing there motionless, I got interrupted by the
words: “Take this SVD and test it”. So I opened the box with a great interest.
As it turned out, there was a quite interesting replica inside. Since my first
impression was very positive, I quickly packed the box back and went outdoor.
When
I arrived I unpacked the replica straight away. What struck me the most it was
its butt and a very nicely made front. However, the greatest advantage of the
replica is metallic body with side mounting rail, which enables a simple
installation of optics. Immediately after the overload you can see a piston, which
is probably made of aluminum, a cylinder, a hop-up chamber and a brass cylinder
head. In the box you can also find an extra magazine and a “key” which controls
the gunpoint.
Finally
it was time to do an outdoor test. Overloading went quite smoothly, and then
the shot was fired! The reaction on a trigger and the range were very decent,
the replica worked really quiet. After setting the hop-up system
(I advise you to get an allen 1,5) I started target shooting at a tree (diameter
about 50 cm) from a distance of 40 m. I managed to get 8
hits in 10 shots
from a prone position, but it wasn't the same from a
standing position, where I got only 5/10. After the test I had some discomfort
in my arm – unfortunately the reloading was getting harder and harder with every shot. When the
adrenaline goes down, you will feel how exhausted you are.
Now it’s time to do a summary:
Advantages:
+ nicely
made butt, front and metallic body
+ very
satisfactory range in the stock
+ quite good concentration (it’s
possible to make it better by installing an AEG precision barrel)
+ good reproduction of the original weapon
+ reliably
made internal
components
+ the replica isn’t heavy (in my
opinion that’s an advantage, because it makes it easier to handle; you also
need to be aware of the fact that with spring rifles it’s useful to have an
extra AEG replica on your side)
+ an extra magazine in a
set
+ good
value for money
Disadvantages:
- it’s hard
to quickly overload the replica
- the body
is made probably of Zamak
- there is
no allen 1,5 in
the set, which is necessary to regulate the hop-up system
If I have an opportunity to check this little thing and tune it, I’ll describe it to you for sure.
Talk to you soon,
Jay
