Is the Action Army AAP-01, WORTH it?! 🤔

[@eriksauve7975]

I’ve owned this pistol for about week now. The quality is pretty decent & feels really solid. I can confidently say that it will make it through 2 full mag dumps but then the slide gets too cold and freezes up. I was shooting it outside. I’ll probably get better performance when it’s the summer time.

[@SepulchrumCantum]

Another great video overview. Thanks for your content especially the detailed stuff regarding internals etc. Can't wait to see the AAP-01 in Germany (without full-auto function). Cheers!

[@JTK639]

Hi.Loving your reviews.Straight to the point.Once the weather is warmer,I'm looking forward to using this for the first time.Great video

[@EDcase1]

You forgot to say that you can adjust the hop through the ejection port without taking the upper off. Another nice design

[@BIGBIRDSAIRSOFT]

-ED case- you’re right and that is a really good feature. 👍

[@ghostwalkerairsofttech1947]

yeah just make sure you take the hop adjuster off and wipe off the grease from the rubber o-ring underneath or it will fall out of adjustment very easily under use.

[@lilwillie5854]

I’m thinking about buying the gun but I don’t know what the hop is. What does it do?

[@EDcase1]

@@lilwillie5854 Basically its an adjustment of the backspin given to the BBs as they leave the pistol. The backspin makes them fly straighter due to the Magnus effect. It needs to be adjusted for different BB weights and hop systems vary in their efficiency.

Just bought this on your recommendation, bloody love it. Cheers fella.

You’re welcome mate 👍

[@ghostwalkerairsofttech1947]

just ordered one of these yesterday!! Stoked to get it!! Cant wait to stick a crazy jet barrel in it with a 60 degree maple leaf hop rubber!! It will help lose some of that FPS too. Def need an extended mag. As for holsters and mag drops, just do like we do with MK23s, fabricate a bit of bungee cord or elastic to keep your mags in the gun.

[@ghostwalkerairsofttech1947]

Bigbird, here is an update for you on the AAP-01. I finally got mine about a month ago. The stock hop rubber and barrel are Meh, OK. But not great. So a small upgrade can make a HUGE difference. As an experiment I had a 150 mm crazy jet barrel lying around. So I upgraded to a 150mm crazy jet barrel and a 60 degree maple leaf autobot hop rubber. The jury is still out on whether or not I will need to " I" key the hop arm. in order to use this long barrel (same one I used to use in my Mk23) you will need the suppressor adapter and an appropriate suppressor length to cover the barrel. But the difference in hop adjustment and range is phenomenal. I also added the folding stock and enhanced magwell. These upgrades have effectively turned this gun into a gbb smg or a semi auto sniper depending on your fire mode. Pair this with my silverback or my striker - "here kiddie kiddie come find me". You were terrified of snipers before- now I've really got something for you!! I would also like to add for those reading...you will never suppress a gbb pistol..the suppressor is only functional to cover the new longer inner barrel..so I suggest you buy the inner barrel first and then measure how long your suppressor needs to be, if you do it right your inner barrel should set right up against the end of the suppressor.

[@BIGBIRDSAIRSOFT]

Ghostwalker Airsoft Tech that’s awesome! Thinking about it, I’ve got a spare 1911 PDI barrel in my spares, I might give it a go. I’ve also got a couple of Flamingo rubbers I’ve been meaning to try. I’ve been running my TM MP7 with my silverback, but it’s not and ideal loadout.

[@jameskalas16]

Great video mate. Love your Panigale... kind of miss mine now haha. This pistol looks great, finally a gbb I can fit a suppressor to! I bought an HK VP9 (useless) then an ICS PM2 for a nice quiet gun. It’s great and very quiet with the larger ics suppressor but I do miss a gbb action.

The only thing I'm personally missing from a pistol like this is a single action mode that's commonly seen on 'assassin' pistols.

[@thejuan5078]

It’s single action and full auto

[@vector_____]

@@thejuan5078 single action isn't the same as semi-auto, which is what the pistol has yes. What you commonly see in pistols made for stealth operations is a way to lock the slide when firing so that there is no sound of the slide going back and forth, which is what loads the round. Effectively making them single action as you have to manually load a new round and cock the hammer. If this one had that it would mean that it would not only be quieter for stealth gameplay but you'd also have a bit higher fps because gas isn't used to cycle it.

[@weaponsgradepotato]

@@vector_____ oh have a misunderstanding, single action guns are guns that can only drop the hammer or striker when the trigger is pulled (think SAA or 1911) and double action is something that can take up the hammer or striker (colt python or beretta 92/ any wonder 9). What you are thinking of is called a "slide lock" (or in this case maybe action lock would be more accurate). Its a pretty rare feature for pistols used by special units, even the mk23 lacks one.

IMHO best pistol out there, especially for the money - it hits way above it's price tag, hellishly accurate, full auto is a goddamn A10C Warthog (freezes up almost immediately tho, this gun screams HPA ME NOW!). Plethora of upgrades available out there to replace parts made out of cheese (also fun fact - metal upper cost more than pistol in it's entirety...). Also, let's be honest - it's the best looking Glock out there... because Glocks are really goddamn ugly but here... here is your sexy T H I C C Ruger Mk.IV look-a-like and you can keep all your Glock mags while you throw your Glock into it's rightful place - the rubbish bin. edit: I wonder if CO2 Glock mags would run fine or if the gun would shit itself... some internals ARE made out of cheese (like that piece in the slide where hammer strikes for example) - I would try it myself but getting another one of these is not an easy task... bloody things sell out nearly instantly!
