CYMA Platinum AK74 Wood Furniture Airsoft AEG Rifle (CM056)

CYMA Platinum AK Series

The AK-74 (Kalashnikov Assault Rifle Model 1974') is an assault rifle designed by small arms designer Mikhail Kalashnikov in 1974 as a successor to the AKM. While primarily associated with the Soviet Union, it has been used by many countries since the 1970s. It is chambered for the 5.45x39mm cartridge, which replaced the 7.62x39mm cartridge of Kalashnikov's earlier automatic weapons for the Soviet Armed Forces. The rifle first saw service with Soviet forces in the Soviet-Afghan War from 1979. The head of the Afghan bureau of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), the intelligence agency of Pakistan, claimed that the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) paid $5000 for the first AK-74 captured by the Afghan mujahideen during the war. As of 2021, most countries of the former Soviet Union use the rifle. Licensed copies were produced in Bulgaria, and in the former East Germany.

Enter CYMA's Platinum AK series! CYMA AKs are highly praised for their build quality, reliability, and affordability. For the price point, this AK is mostly made of steel, except for the high-quality laminated wooden furniture like the handguard, buttstock, and the faux Bakelite grip. It is built solidly and can take a beating similar to the actual AK rifles. The CYMA Platinum Series AK74 AEG is the pinnacle of Soviet block weaponry, which is still in limited service in the Russian Armed Forces. It was developed during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan for Soviet troops. This CYMA AK74 is a faithful replica of the Soviet service rifle, featuring the exact same external design of the standard issue rifle of that time. The gun comes with a 150-round mid-capacity AEG magazine as well as a front sight adjustment tool.

The CYMA Platinum AK74 boasts a whole host of pre-upgraded internals. Out of the box, you get an EShooter ETU that allows for switching between SEMI/AUTO functions to new firing modes like Binary and Burst, through simple trigger-based programming, along with pre-cocking adjustment. The Platinum Series also features an active brake and protection system against blockages and battery levels, which ensures prolonged, trouble-free use. Other than that, this AK AEG also has a steel-teeth 13:1 ratio gear set, 8mm ball bearings, an aluminum ball bearing piston head, a double-sealed cylinder head, a bearing spring guide, and a high-speed motor. All of this allows the gun to hit a stable 25 RPS, which is very respectable for a budget AK AEG out of the box.
