CHECK MY VIDEO, TO SEE IT SHOOTING AND THE BLOWBACK
I put a little glue on the FH, no pin, so it doesn’t move around.
The gun is based on the VFC-LCT type of metal body, which resembles the real steel AK construction a lot. Made from sheet metal,
this gun is very, very strong and sturdy. No wobble anywhere and you could use this as a club, if need be.
Now the side folding stock (called “coat hanger”), designed to allow the use of a grenade launcher and still be
able to fold the stock, unlike on under-folders, like the AKMS or the Ak-47S, does have some up&down play. This is easily
fixed with some tape, like seen in the picture; no more wobble.
The stock folds to the right side, controls are still accessible and locks into place by the stock hinge.
Here she's with the Cyma UltimAK rail:

On top of the body is the ribbed cover. Remove it to reveal the battery compartment, which goes all the way through the upper
handguard, so you could use even a 12V battery. You can use stick batteries or any thin LiPo battery, which I recommend.
Im using 7.4V LiPos and they give great trigger response and ROF, with no need for MOSFETs or any type of modification. Plug and play.
Weight: 3,4 kilos unloaded (7 pounds).
The gun is 700 mm–900 mm long, depending on how much you extend the stock. There’s a rubber pad for AK stocks, but I dont really
like it and this coat hanger stock is actually very comfortable.
You have got 2 sling attachment points, AK style. Im using a cheap Chinese sling that I had on a Thompson. The cheapness is perfect
with the AIMS.
The charging handle and fake bolt move to reveal the hop up adjustment lever. Hop up is very smooth and is held in place by friction.
Haven´t bothered to change the rubber, as mine works just fine.
Another one of the treats of the Cyma AIMS is the electric blowback. Before you even think about it: no, it doesn’t hurt the gearbox.
It gives the gun a very pleasant noise and rattle, the GB even has some recoil and is very impressive, visually (CHECK VIDEO).
Seriously: try it before you criticize it. The fake bolt is connected to the piston and offers some resitance, but lets face it:
if these motors and gearboxes withstand a 450 FPS spring, why wouldn’t they be able to cope with the minimal force of the EBB?
I have never heard of any AEG failing because of the EBB.
Note that, while the gun has no recoil system, the piston slams against the front of the GB so hard (even with the downgraded spring),
that you can feel some type of shock every time you shoot. Combine that with the sheet metal construction,
and you have a very loud AK… as it should be… because it’s an AK.
The iron sights are the typical AK sights, fully adjustable for elevation (rear sight) and elevation (front sight). You can install
an AK type rail for optics on the provided AK side-mount plate. Or you can install (no mods needed, takes under 2 minutes) a
Cyma UltimAK replica gas tube rail, like here (not mine).
No mystery about the hi-cap magazine either: metal, 600 rounder. Note that Doys/Kalash magazines need some sanding, modifying
to work in this and vice versa. Cyma mags are better quality anyway. The hi-cap feeds fine, but the metal hop-up chamber started
cutting into the bb stopper of the mag, so I removed it.
I particularly like the look of the long Cyma RPK mags (metal would be the RPK-47, orange-lite is from my Cyma RPK-74):

Fire selector is smooth and crisp: unlike many other AK selectors (Dboys, for instance), this one moves smoothly, clicks into the
holes nicely and doesn’t go out of the receiver when selecting semi. The one on my Cyma RPK works even better. The one on my Dboys
AIMS sucked and looked like it would fall off any day.
The three fire positions, top-safe/centre-auto/bottom-semi, aren’t that way because eastern block soldier only used full auto,
but because a soldier, in the heat of battle, being nervous, would pull the selector all the way down and land on full auto,
so they decided to reverse the order, so that a pull in tension would go to semi, and you would need to make a conscious decision
to select full auto, which is in the middle.
Now to the shooting.
All measurements were performed with KSC 0,20 gram BBs and a Big Dragon chrono. No hop up. Cleaned inner barrel.
- Muzzle velocity: 390 FPS
- Rate of fire: 900 RPM / 15 RPS
- Effective range: 60 meters (54 yards). This means you can hit a human sized target at that range; even if the BBs go beyond,
you don’t have much accuracy beyond this distance.
- Precision:
Din-A3 sheet shot from 39 meters (35 yards)
Pros:
- affordable price
- good, durable construction
- excellent performance, one of my best battle rifles
- quality internals
- fun EBB
- unique look among AKs
Cons:
- slightly wobbly stock, fixed with tape.
FPS too high
not steel like the Dboys, but the Dboys even has a wobbling barrel, not well built at all
Side optics mount
Adjustable iron sights
