Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Acturus AK06 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle like other AEG Rifles is not mechanical as it is essentially electrical driven so basically it is an on/off switch that is closest in feel to a single action only trigger since it is light and short. You will notice a slight delay between pressing the trigger and the actual round being fired since the trigger activates a motor which first pulls the air spring back. Once the spring is fully drawn back it releases and compresses the air which then propelled the 6mm Airsoft BB. The higher voltage battery you use like an 11.1 volt will shorten the delay as the motor will spin faster and pull back the spring quicker allowing for less noticeable delay and also a higher rate of full auto fire which in this rifle is very noticeable.

Accuracy: First off we placed 5 rounds through our Chronograph shooting .20 gram Airsoft BB’s and we found the Arcturus AK06 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle to be very consistent with the fastest shot hitting 370 fps and the slowest shot hitting 368, this average an impressive 369 fps which is perfect for most Airsoft Gam shooting situations. We then placed a fresh paper target up 30 feet down range and proceeded to shot 10 rounds into the target using a seated and rested shooting position. We followed this up with a spring full of shots in full auto with semi auto and full auto getting pretty much the exact same results which we would say to be about a 1.5-2 inch grouping. Out of the box the Arcturus AK06 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle did shot a bit high making me aim about 6 inches lower to achieve hits in the bullseye. Perhaps hope could remedy this as the sights are too adjustable…

Build Quality: The Acturus AK06 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle is almost all metal in design with from what we can tell only the pistol grip being plastic. The receiver and top dust cover are both hardened steel with the receiver made out of stamped steel just like areal AK. The AK06 is nice and heavy for its size and the fit and finishes is very good all around. Internal parts are all of high quality too.

Realism: The Acturus AK06 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle is based on the AK platform with this version being a more compact and tactical model. Externally it looks the part for sure, holding it in your hands it feels the part too. As expected the insides are all Airsoft but you would need ot take the dust cover off or pull back the charging handle to figure this out. Again the Acturus AK06 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle is an almost all metal Airsoft Gun with an actual stamped steel receiver and steel dust cover, it’s hard to get much more realistic looking and feeling than that.

Pros:

• Lots of mounting options: Picatinny rails, M-LOK, AK/SVD Side Rail.
• Semi and full auto selectable.
• All metal folding rear stock.
• Mostly metal construction and lots of actual steel including the receiver and dust cover.
• Lots of weight to it at 6 pounds, feels awesome to hold.
• Comes with two magazines, one Hi Cap and one Mid Cap.
• Comes with a secondary all black squared off flash hider.
• Super compact design.
• Quick change spring system.
• Easy to get to and adjust rotary hop-up adjustment.
• Should be good for longer range shooting with nice high claimed fps.

Cons:

• Will need a very specific battery type, thin and long.
• Sights are non-adjustable.
• Folding type rear stock not adjustable for pull length.
