Trigger Pull: The trigger on the Novritsch SSR77 AEG Airsoft Rifle is very different from most triggers we have used. It is a two stage trigger where in stock out of the box mode allows for a partial pull of the trigger to shoot in semi auto with a full pull of the trigger allowing for full auto. You can program the two stages of the trigger using the ETU to function differently than out of the box by setting up the semi auto stage to do a double tap so it will shoot when you pull the trigger lightly, and then as you release the trigger it will shoot a second time. You can also change the full auto full trigger pull to shoot in burst mode rather than full auto. There are a number of configurations you can choose from.

Accuracy: We do have to say we had to rerecord our Review Video a couple of times as the Novritsch SSR77 A1 AEG Airsoft Rifle did not like our first choice of Airsoft BB brand, as it was not consistently loading BB’s which made testing near impossible. We kind of gave up on it and thought it may be defective, but then we switched up Airsoft BB Brand and this seemed to fix the problem entirely. This goes to show that finding the correct Airsoft BB’s for your particular Airsoft Rifle or Airgun can be very important in operation and performance. We did end up using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s for all of our Testing in this video review which means our Chronograph rating will be a bit lower than if I had used the standard .20 gram Airsoft BB’s we generally use. That said we did get an average velcoity using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s of 365 fps, here are the readings for each shot… 367, 367, 364, 364, 363 fps. You can see the Novritsch SSR77 A1 AEG Airsoft Rifle is very consistent in terms of velocity with only a 4 fps difference between all 5 shots. Since the Novritsch SSR77 A1 AEG Airsoft Rifle can shoot in both semi and full auto, we tested it first using the built in optical scope shooting 10 rounds in semi auto again using the .25 gram Airsoft BB’s and it shot a very accurate 1 inch grouping at our target setup 30 feet away. We do use a rested shooting position sitting on a stool in the back and our hands rested on a sandbag up front. We did not adjust the scope and just shot the Novritsch SSR77 A1 AEG Airsoft Rifle right out of the box, it did shoot about 3 inches low on our target setup 30 feet away, but was bang on left to right. We could easily adjust our aim point with the optical scope settings. By pulling the trigger in all the way, we are able to shoot in full auto which is nice not having to use a selector switch. Our Full Auto test was also very accurate with the grouping opening up a bit to around 2.5 to 3 inches but we did shoot at least another 40-50 shots so that is expected.

Build Quality: Novritsch is a new product line for me so we have not really had hands on with any of their guns so far. My first impressions are that Novritsch makes very good quality Airsoft products using high quality materials such as solid fiber-reinforced nylon and CNC machined aluminum with well thought out designs. The Novritsch SSR77 AEG Airsoft Rifle is on the heavier side as it is very well built with lots of metal where you would expect it to be, similar to the real steel Steyr AUG.

Realism: The Novritsch SSR77 AEG Airsoft Rifle is a very believable Airsoft Replica of the Steyr UAG Bullpup Rifle. It even weighs about the same at 7.72 pounds. It is an AEG Airsoft Rifle so mechanical the internals are very different but the controls do work for the most part in a similar fashion, like the selector controls, magazine release, charging handle for access to the hop-up and the barrel is even removable like there real steel version. The Novritsch SSR77 AEG Airsoft Rifle does come preinstalled with an orange flash hider which takes away from there realism, but that can be removed and replaced with something different.

Pros:

• Comes with the 3x optics scope built into the build design.
• Programmable trigger allows for a lot of combinations of semi, burst and full auto shooting choices.
• Bullpup design makes the rifle more compact in terms of length but you still have a longer barrel.
• Build materials are of high quality.
• Does incorporate a Quick Spring change system.
• CNC Hop-Up Chamber & Nozzle.
• Unique trigger setup allows for simultaneous semi and full auto shooting, short pull for Semi Auto and long pull for Full Auto.
• See though magazine so you can see how full it is.
• Sling mount up front and on rear stock.
• Good replica of the Steyr AUG.
• With the barrel removed it is very compact and easy to transport.

Cons:

• Is on the heavier side.
• Hope you like the scope as it is the only option as it is built into the design.
• I’m not a fan of the look.
• Programming the trigger is a bit complicated.

Comments: Personally we do not like the look of the Steyr AUG but it is growing on me a little bit. Practically speaking it is a really well thought out riffle using the bullpup design to keep it short even with a longer 20 inch barrel. It is also nice that the 3x optical scope is built into the deign of the Novritsch SSR77 AEG Airsoft Rifle so you are all setup but if you want something like a red dot or maybe higher powered scope your options are going to be very limited. The two stage trigger setup is really cool, you can shoot in either semi or full auto just by how you press the trigger rather than having to change between the two options like most semi and full auto rifles. Some other positives are the see through magazine, the quick spring change system, being sling ready and the ability to shorten the gun up significantly for transport by removing the barrel. A very unique AEG Airsoft Rifle for sure.
