Airsoft Review - Tokyo Marui AA12 - One year on...

In this video I revisit the legendary Tokyo Marui AA12 almost exactly a year after my first impressions video to give you guys a better idea on how the gun performs and if it's worth the hefty price tag...
=============================
Every week we aim to bring you intense airsoft action, news, tech tips, reviews and misadventures.
Videos go live every Tuesday and Thursday at 15:00.
Sometimes other times too... Mostly just Tuesday and Thursday... But sometimes we get over excited and have to release something straight away, or something cool happens... If that happens... There'll be a video. If it doesn't. Then... Tuesday and Thursday. Mostly. Unless we suck that week. Then we are sorry.
Balls Deep podcast will return soon!

Just watching this and it's good to see other people have the same issues with the gun i'v had to jerry rig a sling from some tieraps, as my rear sling mount has broken off. And as for use in woodland with more mags or a drum it is fairly use full as a support weapon when moving into more built up woodland areas or pushing forward with the team.

To you or anybody else complaining about not being able to mount any grips or tactical lasers or flashlights on your AA-12: acurchod10.wixsite.com/impression3d/product-page/rail-ris-aa-12 It may be a French manufacturer but it's still ridiculously handy. I scoured the Intertubes for something like this and did a goddamn backflip when I found it. Once I buy an AA-12 and a drum magazine (I know you said it was ugly; for one I disagree, but even if it was ugly, it gives you a thousand shots and is probably more cost-effective than buying a whole fuck ton of stick magazines), the next thing I'm getting is this rail system. I like modeling my guns after movies, TV and games; this rail system completes the "Predators" AA-12 look that I'm "gunning" for.

Love the channel! AS led me here.

[@magaz]

Thanks! Glad you've made it over to check us out :)

You should get the sgr12

[@derektran9404]

Personal experience with my AA12 says the drum is practical, doesn't rattle, and looks badass. Get the AA12 sight mount for it, makes it really practical. Here's the link for it www.reddit.com/r/airsoft/comments/4su937/custommade_aa12_optics_mounts_xpost_rairsoftmarket/

I've seen that, not a fan at all. It's just adding extra height to what is already a far to tall gun... Removing those god awful iron sights and installing a rail along the top would be a far more practical and aesthetically pleasing solution. I saw a drum mag this weekend. I'm still definitely not sold on them. It looked awful. Standard magazines ftw. :)

[@derektran9404]

The mount doesn't add any height, and adding a long rail just wrecks the silhouette and whenever I saw people suggesting that and showing a real steel version of it everyone says its kinda ruined. Your choice though. Still waiting for that KSG AA12 comparison video, I'm thinking of getting a KSG myself.

[@magaz]

If the mount is at the same height as the top of the sight... When you add a dot sight to it, it's definitley taller lol. The way I see it is it's only the same as removing the old school fixed loop carry handle and Front sight from an AR15 and replacing it with the flat top receiver... the AA12 is such an out dated design, it needs modernising :) Like I said in the video though, I'm not going to do anything to it yet, not for a little while :) We went over to Labyrinth in Bury last night to get some footage for the KSG vs AA12 video. I had some technical issues with the GoPro but we might have settled the debate... Also, Standin sold his KSG immediately after we played... #AA12ftw

[@derektran9404]

Well despite the badassery of the AA12 I'm still going to buyt eh KSG due to how compact it is and just how awesome it looks. Also the sight is about an inch or and inch and a half from the top of the sight, and if tis too tall with a red dot just remove it when transporting it. Well whatever you do is your choice, good luck. I'd love to meet you one day as you're the most underrated airsoft KZbinr I've seen.

[@magaz]

The KSG is loads of fun, I wasn't overly impressed with the range on it, but for CQB it's awesome! The issue I have with the AA12 is transporting it as it is, I don't own any rifle bags wide enough to fit it with just the stock sights, currently it gets buried away at the bottom of my massive kit bag... I'll find a better gun bag one day I think! Definitely come and sling some plastic with us some time in the future man! Thanks :) I put a lot of work into the channel and I'd love it to grow into a big community of like minded players :)

[@robotjox77]

When can we expect the video where you compare the AA12 to the KSG?

[@magaz]

+Alex Holly hopefully soon... it was going to be a simple one shoot video, but we had bigger plans... so it's going to take a little more time to get it in the bag 😊

[@powerstone212]

I was wondering where your tuesday upload was?

[@magaz]

My schedule is a bit all over the place at the moment, so getting the edits done is a little last minute... Tomorrows upload might be running late aswel, although I have a backup video that's not airsoft related if I miss the deadline... There's also an episode of the podcast to edit too ;)

[@powerstone212]

magaz can't wait for ya podcast, I really think you deserve more recognition, best airsoft podcast on utube

[@shawtay]

HERE! HERE!

[@ukranianoairsoft7732]

Hello, I also have aa12, I love it, but have you noticed a slack in the rear sight? It does not move

[@magaz]

the rear site seems solid enough to me, but it can be rocked back and forth a few mm...

[@damo1297]

Hi mate do you know if there is any upgrades I can do to the aa12 to increase the fps any advice would be great thanks

[@magaz]

To be honest I'm not entirely sure, my guess is the main spring is similar to that of a spring shotgun and not AEG compatible. I'm not familiar with the kind of barrels and hop rubber they use either, so even that might not be a straight swap out. I'd say go and check out Chupacabra Outdoors videos on the disassembly of the gun. You might be able to work something out from that :)
