With the winter months closing in I got the single most important piece of kit. A waterproof. It actually works pretty well and should keep my kit, my optics, and most importantly, me nice and dry without getting in the way too much. I am going to sew some velcro in to the inside of the hood so that it sticks to my cap though

Ukrainian DIU loadout. Genuine Uk MTP, patches and cap badge. The left arm patch patch was a gift. 😁

The Bizon was clearly liberated from an ageing Spetsnaz operator.

How's the bizon performance wise? Such a fun looking replica

I love it, but I've wanted one for about 25 years. This one's on the gun picture thread as I finally finished it this week.

It's Cyma, but one of their more expensive models, so as stock it performs as well as you'd expect. Obviously, the real niche is the magazine. Reloading takes some drilling but I've got it down to about 5-6 seconds now (mag out, new mag in, old mag in pouch). The low-caps hold about 190 BBs and I tend to run 4 + 1 hi-cap backup (~1000).

Magazine storage seems to be an issue for many but I repurposed my P90/UMP double mag pouches and they're perfect.

Ergonomically, it's well balanced, heavy (full metal) and the chunky 'foregrip' of the magazine feels great in my clown-sized hands 😄. I completely removed the stock on mine as a preference for airsoft, but it can be operated with the stock folded usually.

Accessories are limited, even by AK standards. I had to fit the 2 front side rails myself using a massively over-engineered improv. The shortened cover and receiver may also cause problems. Obviously, there's no front grip options. Mine's been kitted out with Zenitco repros and other Russian stuff simply for authenticity- style beats substance for me every time.

All told, it's my current favourite (don't tell my KS-1 😄), but I'd certainly recommend holding one before you pull the trigger on a shopping cart, as it does seem to be a bit 'Marmite'. Sorry if that was TMI...

Not at all tmi more info the better I'm deciding between it and the vss from cyma to be my next addition to the armory as I run Russian kit. I reckon my rpk pouches would each fit a bizon mag. How far removed are the dimensions of the dust cover from the usual ak on in your opinion?

What about an offset grip like a Brens carry handle, I've also seen an airsoft rif with a foregrip on a canted rail.

The first obstacle to overcome would be fitting rails on the heat shield as there is currently no commercially available alternate with rails. I had to go through a laborious process of finding the right-sized rail (and filing the back down), buying longer right-sized screws (3 attempts) and buying a backplate that married up to the rail (2 attempts). Even now, it's sturdy enough to support the torch, but doubtful it would stay put with a grip bearing the weight of the gun.

Then you'd have to really consider why you'd want a canted grip on an airsoft SMG when the magazine grip is so comfortable. Maybe pseudo-Sterling vibes? So yes, I'd say it possible (as is attaching a grip to every magazine), but it would be a lot of work to achieve and, IMHO, not worth it. Seems like a Jurassic Park analogy would go well here. 😄

I make it approximately 15mm. RPK pouches are a good shout. I might look into that, cheers. I'm looking to replace the whole rig with MM-14 camo and there's a chance I might find them in that pattern.  🤔

The canted grip thing is mostly a Tarkov thing that just doesn't really make any sense.

 
Now it's getting lovely and cold it's getting easier to get the cool kits sorted out. Busting out my Partizan suit and setting my 6sh117 up for keeping me on the field as long as possible. Got a hydro bladder mounted to the back and space for plenty of magazines. The rpk mags are fantastic for holding my coupled pp19 mags or the backup P90 mags for larping like it's the original modern warfare 2 load outs. Also fits my grach nicely on the belt so I can lay prone without poking anywhere sensitive.
