Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the G&G ARP9 3.0P AEG Pistol Caliber Airsoft Carbine is short and light as it is basically a simple electric on/off switch that completes a circuit and tells the motor to turn, this then activates the cycling of the spring piston. For this reason there is no real creep or feel of a release. When you get to a preset point in the trigger, the motor circuit is closed allowing for either semi or burst shooting modes, depending on your selector switch position at the time.The G&G ARP9 3.0P AEG Pistol Caliber Airsoft Carbine does have a Vertical Trigger For Enhanced Shooting Control.

Accuracy: For velocity we ran six shots through our Chronograph using .25-gram BBs we generally prefer the slightly heavier .25s for testing because they better represent practical use than lighter .20 gram rounds. G&G’s spec is about 380 fps with .20-gram BBs, so we anticipated a lower number with .25s and that’s exactly what we saw. Our six-shot string read 344, 342, 342, 342, 341 and 341, which averaged out to 342 fps. Those readings were very consistent with multiple duplicates in the string, so the ARP9’s output was predictable and stable for an AEG running typical field BBs. Next we moved to accuracy: we placed a fresh papper target to the trap at 30 feet and shot 10 rounds from a semi-rested position, hands braced on a sandbag up front, seated on a stool at the rear for a stable, repeatable hold. The main cluster landed just left of the bullseye; the densest portion of the group was roughly 1 inch and the overall group measured just over 2 inches. That tells me the G&G ARP9 3.0P AEG Pistol Caliber Airsoft Carbine is more than capable of tight, repeatable groups when shot carefully. We then switched to full auto and ran a mag dump of about 58 rounds from a full rest. As you’d expect the group opened up and shifted a bit (likely from my hold changing during sustained fire), but most hits still stayed within approximately a 2-inch radius, which is impressive for a compact, high-rate AEG under sustained fire.

Build Quality: The build quality of the G&G ARP9 3.0P AEG Pistol Caliber Airsoft Carbine is good, G&G Airsoft Rifles in general are well built and comparable to higher priced Airsoft rifles in terms of overall quality. The receiver is plastic but the weight feels good adn there is metal in the sights, hinges, trigger, magazine release, selector switch, magazine release, bolt release, dust cover, charging handled, the barrel assembly and other internal components.

Realism: The G&G ARP9 3.0P AEG Pistol Caliber Airsoft Carbine is a 1 to 1 scale Airsoft reproduction of thea troika compact ARP9. We are not sure if it is based on exactly one specific brand or type, but is more or less a stylized version designed and built by G&G. Most of the mechanical parts work similar to a real steel version so for training purposes it would function similarly. There is no recoil as it is an AEG Airsoft Rifle.

Pros:

• Nice and compact fro any CQB style shooting.
• Very sturdy polymer receiver.
• Quad channel magazine for flawless BB loading.
• Pre-Installed ETU 2.0 (Electronic Trigger Unit) And a programmable MOSFET that protects the battery from over-discharge.
• Short M-LOK Rail System for easy attachment of tactical accessories, along with recessed threads for flash hiders or tracers.
• Non-Retractable, side folding stock, allowing for seamless movement in CQB situations. Also conceals the battery.
• Programmable firing modes: Full Auto Or 3-Round Burst.
• Quick Change Spring Guide for Fast FPS Adjustment.

Cons:

• No battery and charger included.
• Foregrip Not included
• Lower capacity mid cap magazine requires more frequent loading.
• Battery size limitations.

Comments: The G&G ARP9 3.0P AEG Pistol Caliber Airsoft Carbine would be perfect if you’re looking fro a full features AR styled AEG but want it in a more compact format. Not only is the magazine a lot less bulky but the entire Airsoft rifle is setup to be short and light weight with its folding stock and super short barrel. We hope the smaller size does not affect performance in any way but we will find out when we get to our Field Test Shooting video for it down the road. We do really like the look and size and feel it is a very unique product suitable for just about any situation.
