Action Army's new pistol (AAP01)

[Skara]

It's not exactly a stunning collectors piece but obviously it's fairly unique in its design and I should imagine it'll prove to be very practical.

Definitely not a collector's piece.

Especially for the price they seem to have embraced the function-over-form motto.

Smol apdeit.

Took it to the field last Sunday, and I have to say, it's a pretty neat pistol!!

Very precise up to 30 metres (haven't tested the full range potential as the part of the field we played at has short ranges, between 10 and 30 metres tops) and is super snappy.

Didn't use full auto at all because I couldn't be arsed to change it every time, I may get an external dial in the future.

Had no problems lifting 0.3s, will test heavier weights once I get my hands on some white 0.4s, I am keeping it stock until the rubber dies and then swap it with a MR-Hop + I-Key.

For €100, it's a great little pistol

Sounds good! Can't wait to use mine, alas it is currently sitting in a box due to lockdown

After seeing a couple of vids I’m more than tempted.

which is stupid as I haven’t used my mk23 in forever and have a brand new hi cappa (which is actually having issues at the mo) and need to sort and field them both!

I'd say give it a go, worst case you can sell it.

Stocking them seems pretty hard atm, so you'll probably shift it rather quickly.

If I can find one I think I might.

Someone else planning to upgrade the AAP-01 into a carbine? ( with stock and a long inner barrel ) what do you think would be the ideal inner barrel length?

Given its design, It's totally possible to make/print a whole upper assembly, while keeping the stock upper.

So you just move the lower between the two.

Barrel lenght depends on what energy output you're aiming for. The pistol does 0.8J on its stock setup, if you increase the barrel lenght by say, 10/20mm you may end up being right on that 1.13J limit for full auto. If you disable the full auto function (or buy the german version, which is locked to semi) then you may get a 200/250mm inner and up the power to 1.5/1.6J depending on what gas you use.

I was thinking of building a semi-only lightweight dmr platform with the “over the receiver”-kits that you see below ( not yet available ). Internals would include a 300 mm + inner barrel and I-key from maple leaf. Maybe another rubber as well. 
 

but a more appealing idea was to of course build a small smg and keep the full auto function with before mentioned internals. Although I’m starting to see the danger in such a platform and its high FPS once a longer barrel is installed. Maybe that a crazy jet in the length you mentioned with an I-key would be enough for the range / accuracy boost. 
 

A second sidearm AAP and a couple of we polymer mags could make it the most compact and lightweight setup so far.

Someone needs to make a Wellrod style upper and enclose the bolt / integral suppressor for minimal noise and see if the Mk23 can be toppled as the snipers favourite side arm!

@Hypokondrikern - The first image you posted reminds me a little bit of the suppressed pistol/carbine/rifle which Banderas uses in the Assassins.

Don't think it'll be possible to kill the bolt noise down to mk23 levels.

It is already a nice sidearm for a sniper, some people don't run MK23s and rely on G18s/Hi-Capas instead. This is almost as snappy as a Capa, but has the full auto meme factor of the G18.

There are integral suppressor kits already out there for people to print, but honestly they all look shit and they don't suppress anything, they just replace the outer barrel with a larger piece of plastic.

Small update on mine:

Something's gone wrong as it now can't lift .3s past 40 metres anymore, thought the rubber got damaged somehow so swapped to a ML MR-Hop + I-Key. Same results really. the arm doesn't seem to apply enough pressure anymore, but it's not broken nor bent, the chamber is fine, the rubbers are fine. Don't think it's me messing up the installation as replacing a rubber and dropping a metal plate under the arm isn't exactly rocket science...

I feel a TDC may be applied soon.

I am on board with this concept

 

[Skara]

Nice drill btw.

Update (yes, another one).

Swapped the MR for a Decepticon, now it fucking sends .4s to the moon

The way the hop works just doesn't apply enough pressure for the MR-Hop to work properly.

a cut up square of aeg rubber can work nicely as a spacer to get a bit more lift.

Yup, thought the same. Between the arm and the I-Key.

But cba to take it apart once again

to be fair, if someone makes a whole upper receiver, I may buy a 2nd gun and turn it into a compact-ish cqb carbine.

Is there a conclusive list for which magazines are fully compatible?

WE 22bb mags fit and feed flawlessly.

The only TM mag I have fits fine and feeds well, although it's a leaky POS so can't test the efficiency until I stop being lazy and replace the baseplate o-ring find the time to sort it. the different shape gas router doesn't seem to have an impact.

I may get my hands on one WE 50rd extendo soon, but I reckon it's gonna feed and fit fine, just like my other WE mags.

if WE and TM fit, then KJW will probably fit as well.

The only thing with non AA mags is that the mag release can't be reversed to be left handed friendly (AA mag has the retention slot on both sides, others don't)

 

[Shaydee]

They released a video showing compatability with TM, WE, KJ, Umarex and WE CO2 mags a while back.
