Frequently Asked Questions
The Cyma CM.048 series has been and will likely remain one of the most interesting and controversial toys of our time. The quality-to-price ratio tends to boggle the minds of even the most refined tastes in airsoft. It is made from pressed steel, riveted, and wood. The gearbox does not falter at every step and remains a faithful "partner" for a long time.

Product Description
Brief History
Starting in the 1960s, Russia began its research for adopting a smaller caliber than the well-known 7.62mm. The reasons are quite clear, and the efforts need to start as soon as possible. In the 1970s, the first official model of the AK chambered in 5.54mm appears. After rigorous testing, the AK74 proves to be more accurate and efficient than the classic version, with improved reliability. Another aspect is the compatibility of most components between the AK47 and 74.
Exterior of the Replica
The body of the weapon is made from riveted steel sheet. The assembly of the airsoft replica is similar to that of the real one. Unlike the classic method adopted by Tokyo Marui, where the body consists of 2 distinct parts joined by 4 screws, the CYMA body is assembled using pins and press-fit systems. This provides the body with enhanced robustness, supported by the use of quality materials. On the left side, there is a mount for optical systems, and the gas deflector is larger than in the previous model.
The handguard and stock of the airsoft replica are made from laminated wood, while the grip is made from quality ABS plastic.
Interior of the Replica
The gearbox is version 3, a well-known version recognized for its robustness. The gearbox shell and gears are made of metal, while the bushings are steel. The piston, piston head, and cylinder head are made from quality ABS plastic. The motor is a high torque type capable of pulling quite strong BBs, with rate of fire not being its strong point. The hop-up adjustment is located inside the ejection port. The power of the airsoft replica is an important aspect, which is relatively high, between 120 - 125 meters per second measured with 0.20g BBs. It is recommended to use 0.25g BBs.
Power Supply
The space allocated for the battery is not very large, but it can be fully utilized by using a LiPo battery no larger than 7.4V and 2200mAh. The maximum recommended battery is 9.6V, as using a larger battery risks damaging the toy. We recommend using only high-quality BBs and not reusing BBs, as this may damage the replica.
