The AAP-01 Owners Thread.

The long top rail looks like it just taps into the polymer. Is it strong enough for a sight mount?

Correct, the screws self thread into the upper's plastic.

It's not a solution I like because the chances of wrecking the whole upper are high should you bash the optic onto something, but from what I see most people don't mind.

Btw just saw your post on the FB group

Does anyone know anywhere (preferrably in the UK or europe) that has a cowcow hammer set in stock?

What would be the best upgrade barrel to use? (Keeping standard length)

Airsoftworld OR some HK shop. There is fuck all available in Europe for some reason.

Whatever you want, the stock barrel is good out of the box, I don't see the point of swapping it.

My tracer unit arrived today so hopefully I'll be able to see where my AAP SMG is slinging BB's at the CQB site on Friday.

Unfortunately I've fallen in love with my Hi Capa and have bought it lots of gifts!

If I don't get on with the AAP SMG I may get rid and just keep my camo one!

 

[Skara]

AAAAAND I just bought the ONE remaining black mamba upper in Europe lol.

It'll be here in about 48h

People do seem happy with the top rail but I'm not happy with it as an engineering solution. Went for the short rear rail instead. It'll be here tomorrow so I'll be able let you know how it goes.?

Shame that my triggers and short stroke kits are still somewhere in country, I don't like ripping apart guns more than necessary.

But at least I got something to do tonight.

 

[Skara]

Not too shabby, all things considered.

Well I hadn't even noticed the sling point located underneath until now!!

Looks pretty good with the Nov supressor on as well!!

Welcome to the club!

I skirmished mine, complete with drum mag last week and although I probably could've gotten more kills with and AEG, each kill was far more satisfying.

I was a little surprised by the cooldown though, as it was a hot day (around 26C). However if I tried more than half a dozen shots in a row, it did splutter a bit. Leaving it to rest for a minute or so brought it back to normal.

Cooldown is why I haven't, and won't, be buying a Black Mamba and end up with all that metal retaining the cold.

The drum mag does have an effect though, in that for me it encourages me to spam the trigger a lot more, and I then have to consider how I manage using the pistol as a primary and factor in short periods for it to warm up again before pushing / engaging anyone. At the weekend I'm becoming a member of my local site, which then gives me free on-site HPA refills, so I'm seriously considering tapping the AW drum mag for this as it's just swapping out the input valve (and then putting the gas one back in afterwards and using some maintenance gas for the seals) so no more cooldown worries.

 

[Cr0-Magnon]

I would agree with that from a purely practical standpoint, I do love the way it looks and feels though.

I think the best upgrade is the wheel adjustment hop unit. I know the AAP is already more than capable out of the box but I feel adding the proper nub and arm system takes it to a whole other level.

Yeah it's literally the only one I have available, I might shorten it down by one section as it's purely aesthetic.

I'm not sold on the T1 though..

This one only has one skirmish under its belt, I might bring it this Sunday if I decide to play sniper, although given the stupid range and consistency it has, I might as well use it as a DMR-ish primary.

That is, if I don't strangle myself to death trying to sling the AAP, bolty AND the mk23

 

[MiK]

I should really think about doing something with mine - haven’t taken it out of its box since I bought it and played with the fun switch with a tracer unit on it last summer - I’m a terrible AAP owner tbh

 

[leadly]

Used my AAP SMG with drum mag and tracer tonight for a few games! at my local CQB site.

I have to say i was considering getting rid but after removing my sight and putting a tracer on, it totally transformed how I used it! Really chuffed with how it performed......until my Hi Capa came out with my new MP5 adapter and then it got chucked back in my bag!

 

[PopRocket123]

Another kit made my a friend, this time one for you halo fans. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/airsoft-halo-magnum-aap-01-body-kit-rhysdavey

Of course they release the fucking M-Lok handguard ONE week after buying the mamba

But anyway, today I took the smg to the field, although I didn't actually play with it.

out of boredom I installed my visionking short dot and did a quick zero, I can safely say it's the perfect match lol.

I'll run it next Sunday as a primary.

 

[Fatboy40]

Well, mines dead now, set to semi and one trigger pull = burst of auto and huge dump of gas (and a shitty rental AEG for the rest of the day).

Something's broken / snapped, but at least I'm not playing again until mid-July.

 

[Skara]

Hammer gone already?

How many shots in total?

Now i can see that being very popular, especially with thos that want to DMR it!

Ive just seen Airsoft world have now got stock of the Action Army adjustable trigger. Might pick one up for my AAP SMG!
