Grounded_Pilot Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 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! Video of the gun having a shoot (Sorry for the quality) Happy airsofting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtTalbert Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Very nice review matey. Where did you get the Scorpion + accessories from?? Cheers, Tal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grounded_Pilot Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 TBH, I thought my review was a bit all over the place! I took my time on this one. I ordered the gun from JD airsoft for about £85 and bought the accessories 2nd hand (took a while to find all the mags!). Although I did get a specially machined thread adaptor for this silencer, because I was desperate to use it! Just to clarify for people though, the package from new includes: -Gun -Charger -700mAh 7.2v Battery -58rnd Mag -RIS + screws -Thread adaptor ...not too bad for £85 new!

Supporters Ian_Gere Posted October 4, 2013 Supporters Share Posted October 4, 2013 I'm thinking of getting one this weekend. How is yours doing? Do you know if TM mags fit in it? How about a LiPo? I thought the little hicap mags hold 100 rounds? And that the inner barrel is 127mm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earbymarts Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 This looks like a really interesting back-up weapon, a change from the usual GBB pistol, nice as they usually are. At the price...? Rather tempted...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted November 18, 2013 Supporters Share Posted November 18, 2013 I bought the JG one from Taiwan Gun in the end - lower receiver is metal, not metallic. I also bought 2 39rnd mid cap and 1 360rnd drum mag by Well and a PDI 6.01x127mm TBB - now chrono's @320FPS I'm not impressed with the trigger response, but the ROF is fine. I have a 7.4V LiPo on the way and i'm going to add a MOSFET - if there's enough room, 16AWG wire... I went old skool for the holster and bought a Czech police leather one which takes the gun with the folded stock in place - but is made for the short RS mag, so I had to modify it to carry a airsoft mag fitted. The matching RS mag pouch only just fits 2 in with the leather divider removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters sp00n Posted November 18, 2013 Supporters Share Posted November 18, 2013 i have one my hop isnt working atm (i think i may have fixed it though) The 90rd mag isnt that good imho, as i keep having to wind it after 20 -30 rds. The 370rd TM drum mag is excellent ... and looks soo cute Like Ian, i am going to convert it, and i have some lipo's on there way to me, i found some 950mAh 7.4v that *should* fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
