Right, well... Here's a quick review of this amazing SMG.
I don't do many reviews, so you know this is a good gun!
Right, so this is the ASG Scorpion vz.61 SMG...AEP power!
Ok I was skeptical to begin with... "Oh dear... it's an AEP..." well yes, it is!
The last AEP I owned as a CYMA G18c... that was pathetic... with a millennium between trigger pull and a shot fired!
This is not so with the scorpion! Even with the (crappy as) standard 7.2v AEP battery the trigger response is great, for a stock gun- especially for an AEP!
So let's start off with...
The look and feel:
This is a Sportline gun. So a lot of it is plastic. Expected from a sub £100 gun really.. but what is this? Metallic finish and so many metal parts both internally and externally!
Also, it looks the bomb. Really looks like Czechnian gangster's gat!
Good:
-Nice (airsoft) laser etched markings
-Metal mags
-Lots of metal parts adding weight and feel.
-Love the folding stock over the gun. So good for compactness! Removed mine to fit in my holster
-Compact enough to fit in a Strike Systems drop leg holster!
Bad:
-Plastic bodied, but hey-ho, it's hard to actually feel it. Because of the cool-to-the-touch plastic finish.
-Mags are high caps... but only hold about 70rnds. Seems a bit pointless!!
-Sights are hard to use... but it's the same as the RS ones...!
-Thread adaptor supplied is too small for 90% of silencers.
Performance:
This gun has great performance for a small gat! Good accuracy and range from stock. I'm talking hop capabilities to rise a 0.25g BB! Really not bad for an AEP! I have it set to about 30m right now on 0.2g BBs
The ROF is nothing amazing though, down to the battery + fuse combo probably. Will probably remove the battery and modify to use normal NiMH batteries soon
The battery life is good. Nothing amazingly long, but easily enough to cycle all 5 mags I have about twice each.
Good:
-Awesome range! For such a small gun!
-Good accuracy for a 70mm x 6.08mm barrel!
-VERY quiet. The suppressor dulls the air pocket a bit, but even so, it's a great sneaky back up.
-Hard hitting. Runs at the standard TM 270-280fps. Although this can be expected to drop a bit with age/use.
-Good battery life. The 700mAh 7.2v batteries last a good 8-10 mags.
-Mags feed perfectly!
-Decent trigger response- but room for improvement
-Adjustable hop unit!
Bad:
-Slow ROF... well for an AEP not bad. But it currently chuggs at about 700rpm. The real deal goes at about 850rpm.
-The trigger response is about 0.2 of a second. Not bad at all, but this is mainly due to the battery voltage... could really be snappy with a NiMH 8.4v!
Upgrades I suggest:
Definitely look at getting an 8.4v battery on there. There is some room in the pistol grip, where rather conveniently the fuse is accessible. Could easily run a set of wires through the base of the grip. Will have a go at this myself at a later date!
Tempted to fiddle with the hop/barrel
Additional things I got for it were: Suppressor, thread adaptor, AK grip, RIS rail, 4 extra 58rnd mags, 1 battery and a drop leg holster for the lot!

Happy airsofting!
