AK74 Gas rifle!

[666]

Just bumped into this thing. No info was given except for "Full scale AK74 gas rifle, made in Korea", price and this pic.
Anyone knows what this thing is????
I saw 6mm on the box. Can anyone who speaks Korean translate rest of the stuff from the box?
P.S Found it on real steel web site which sells overpriced parts for eastern block guns and has nothing to do with airsoft.

LS aka Arii. It`s Japanese/Korean manufacture.
And the stuff (write) on box are Japanese.
It`s says.....
-This airsoft gun is semi/full auto selectable.
-It Equips aluminium barrel
-Uses HFC gas with silicone oil. Makes smoothy work.
-It Equips Combat holder and Combat holder belt for hold gas tank and tube.
-reserved type mag (?)
-The gas tube connecter made by brass, would`n leak gas.
One-touch connect system.

Im very sorry for bad English... ops:
It does not says about GBB or NBB. Tha gas tank looks like a old booster type.

Here is a few of the LS models http://endoshoji.com/classic/page003.html

Thank you! I actually saw LS logo on the box later on, but couldn't find any info in English, only in Japanese. So, I guess this could be one of classic airsoft guns.

Asahi`s FNC and Bushmaster!! hmm..that`s why I could not find them in my country.
FTC use to make finest AK in gas age.

Man that would be f-ing sweet. And I got excited at the EBB bolt that just came out. Anyone else suddenly have an uncontrollable need for this gun?:P

[666]

EBB bolt? Are you talking about Guarder blow back AK set? I wouldn't want to put that on my field AEG. Imagine what will happen if charging handle will get jammed some how and you pull a trigger in full auto. I suspect it will create broken plastic all over the mechbox.

Uh, no. The bolt is not connected to the piston.

I would give my left nut for a gas-powered AK in 8mm that held gas in the mag!

[LaZeDoUt^Jr.]

I would want one of those for sure.

W.K.Shuridys, interesting, so what moves it than if not piston or some other moving part in the mechbox? I'm curious.
Yea, 8mm AK with internal gas supply would be cool. Even 6mm whould do for me.

i'd love any airsoft version, AEG or GBB, if it were a replica of the Italian Beretta AR70/90.

I haven't seen it myself although from what I've heard is that it won't destroy your gearbox if the bolt is immovable. I could be wrong though, perhaps someone with one installed here can clarify for us?

Same! I wonder why GBB rifles were never marketed?

[666]

I doubt it. Single shot is ok with gas but once you start firing long full auto burts my guess is it won't work that well. I know there is 4.5mm FA co2 smg with internal gas supply made in Russia but I'm not sure how practical that thing is.

Actually, the FTC AK was GBB (check out Sgt Lynch's AK). There were also JAC and Coksai M16 variant GBBs and currently Sun Projects is producing a couple of M16 variant GBBs and rumours of an AK variant coming out next. That's if you don't mind external gas systems for all but the JAC and Coksai which were 'gas resevoir in the mag' systems.

I have a Russian Yunker 3 rifle (4.5 mm CO2 BB AK74M gun) If you know somebody who can bore out the barrel from 4.5 to 6 or 8 mm and make slight diameter modification to the bb feeder you'd have a full metal and realistic Russian-made airsoft AK with a side-folding stock and sniper-grade muzzle velocity (since it's powered by CO2 powerlets held in the mag).
