Specna Arms M4 SA-V01

Presentation

Worthy of the 21st century, this airsoft replica offers a perfect advantage in close-quarters combat due to its compact size and good accessorization options. The materials used are lightweight and durable, and the execution quality is very good considering the price category it belongs to. The airsoft replica package includes almost all the elements necessary to get it operational.

Exterior of the Replica

Impressive.... We can only praise the gentlemen at Specna Arms for the quality-to-price ratio they offer with their airsoft replicas. The exterior of the airsoft replica is well-made, and the materials used are of high quality. Aluminum and aluminum alloys are utilized, greatly easing the "user's" task, with maneuverability significantly improved. The airsoft replica mimics Vltor elements, which is not a bad thing; besides the pleasant design, it offers improved durability compared to classic models. The front rail system is of the Free-Float type, providing ample space for accessories of all kinds. On the upper part of the body, there is also a standard rail that allows for the mounting of an advanced sighting device.

A large part of the airsoft replica is made of metal, with the ABS plastic elements being the grip and the stock. The stock is adjustable with 5 positions and features a rubber pad for improved grip. The airsoft replica is equipped with a classic folding sight system to allow the use of other sighting devices.

To add a touch of realism, the manufacturers have installed a system that mimics an active bolt catch, allowing for much easier hop-up adjustment. The airsoft replica can be secured using the 6 quick-detach connection points distributed across the entire surface of the airsoft replica. The package includes a detachable support ring and a strap, but be careful, that strap is not for supporting the airsoft replica.

Interior of the Replica

The airsoft replica is equipped with a nearly standard version 2 gearbox, the only difference being the ability to replace the spring of the airsoft replica without opening the gearbox casing, but don’t get too excited; the gearbox still needs to be removed to perform this operation. Regarding the internal components, we can say they are of good quality. The piston, its head, and the cylinder head are made of polycarbonate, while the gears are made of quality metal. The shimming of the airsoft replica is well done, and the sound of the functioning gearbox is good. The motor of the airsoft replica is standard but successfully engages the internal mechanism, with a consumption of only 10-11A, indicating that it is a well-optimized gearbox. This performance is certainly aided by the 8 mm bearing gears.

The hop-up chamber is metal, and the adjustment is located in the ejection port. It can be accessed by operating the charging lever of the airsoft replica. The grouping is good even though the inner barrel has a diameter of 6.08 mm. When correctly adjusted, the hop-up allows the replica to achieve quite large engagement distances. The speed of the airsoft replica is approximately 120-125 meters per second measured with 0.20g BBs. The package also includes a spring that achieves approximately 90-95 meters per second.

Power Supply

The airsoft replica package includes a 9.6V 1100 mAh mini crane battery that is mounted in the stock. It is recommended not to use batteries larger than 9.6V as the toy may malfunction. LiPo batteries can be used, but not larger than 7.4V. Only use quality BBs and do not reuse BBs as the airsoft replica may malfunction.
