Product Description
Presentation
APS Limited, or more broadly Accuracy Pneumatics Shooting, was founded in 2001 and initially focused on the development and manufacturing of training equipment such as Markers and special ammunition for these Markers. Over time, APS has developed its Airsoft branch, thus manufacturing airsoft replicas and accessories.
The presented replica is part of the ASR series, specifically model ASR 116. An airsoft replica recommended for CQB. The manufacturer has equipped this wonderful toy with the new Keymod front rail system, allowing for the arrangement of rails according to each user's preferences in a very short time.
Exterior of the replica
The ASR 116 airsoft replica is primarily made from metal alloys, contributing to a lightweight design that improves maneuverability. The front features an innovative modular rail system called KEYMOD, of the free float type. The front of the outer barrel is concealed by the rail system. Along the entire top of the airsoft replica, there is a standard rail, allowing for the mounting of almost any type of advanced sighting device; red-dot, scopes, and others. This airsoft replica is also equipped with a foldable fiber sight. The plastic elements of this toy are the motor grip and the stock. The stock of the airsoft replica is adjustable, of the SOPMOD type, and allows for the mounting of crane-type batteries.
For attaching a sling, quick-detach systems located above the grip and at the back of the rails can be used.
Interior of the replica
Responsible for operation is a version 2 gearbox concept APS named Silver Edge. At first glance, it appears to be a standard V2 gearbox, strictly speaking about gears, piston, spring, and other small components, they are indeed standard; however, the casing is slightly modified to allow for the installation of a blow-back system and to enable the removal of the guide without disassembling the casing. This makes the operation of replacing the spring or servicing the gearbox much easier.
The hop-up chamber is metal, making it much more resistant to wear. When correctly adjusted, the hop-up adjustment will provide superior effective range. It should be noted that there may be traces of grease inside the hop-up chamber and the inner barrel, so careful cleaning of the hop-up assembly is recommended. This airsoft replica is equipped with an active bolt catch. Once the charging lever is activated, the protective tab of the ejection port will remain open until the bolt catch is engaged, greatly facilitating the adjustment of the hop-up adjustment. The speed of the airsoft replica is approximately 120-125m/s measured with 0.20g BBs. For optimal performance, 0.25g BBs are recommended.
Power Supply
With the purchase of the airsoft replica, it is recommended to purchase a LiPo battery of a maximum of 7.4V and in a shape that allows mounting in the SOPMOD stock or a NiMh no larger than 9.6V crane mini type. Any higher voltage can severely damage the toy. It is recommended to use high-quality BBs for optimal performance and to ensure the proper functioning of the airsoft replica.
