Specna Arms EDGE 2.0 J-02 AK (ASTER) | FREE Delivery over €50 (ROI)

In airsoft, the mainstay (and industry favourite) is the humble AEG. Battery powered replicas, offering superb value, and unmatched practicality. AEG stands for "Automatic Electric Gun", and it really is a case of "What it says on the Tin" - they have an internal gearbox, and motor, and when you pull the trigger the battery spins the motor, allowing the replica to fire. Granted, that doesn't sound terribly exciting, however in reality, it means every time you pull the trigger, your gun fires, and you can get an impressive rate of fire (more BB's down range faster).

Internally, most components of an AEG can be tweaked/upgraded, so you can tinker and customise your replica to suit how you play. Whether you want a faster rate of fire, more responsive trigger, or increase the range & accuracy, with an AEG the world is your oyster. Due to their mechanism, they are quieter than their gas/Co2 counterparts, so you can stay hidden for longer (or if shooting targets out the back, the sound is less likely to irritate the neighbours).

Specna Arms are one of the most dominant brands on the airsoft market, coming out of nowhere to completely take over, offering superior performance, better value, and unbelievable quality at an affordable price. Perhaps better than any other, Specna Arms have dedicated tiers covering each price point, with massive variety of models at each level - FLEX is their entry level sportsline series, where you have high quality internals paired with fibre reinforced nylon externals, CORE are their mid-level range with more metal components on externals (e.g. handguard/rail kits), and EDGE are their high end full metal replicas with higher quality internals. And that's just the guns!

Specna Arms also produce a massive range of accessories from magazines to batteries, tactical gear, and much more. All of their products have a focus on airsoft, and airsofters, making them optimised for the skirmish field. It is hard to beat them for sheer quality, especially when you factor in their price. Virtually all of their guns have quick spring change systems, with steel gears and 6.03mm tightbore barrels out of the box, and since you can get virtually every part for them, you can tweak and customise to your heart's content, and create something unique to you. It's no surprise that they are one of the most often recommended, and most beloved airsoft manufacturers.

The AK series is incredibly popular, and for good reason. On the battlefield, it is the most common rifle any Military will encounter, and as a result, it has been seen on our television and cinema screens for decades. Although there have been many revisions, the same great design can be seen throughout. Evolving from the STG-44, the AK is iconic - instantly recognisable with unique design language, and impressive capabilities.

In airsoft, thanks to its real-world popularity, you will see many great examples of the AK platform on the skirmish field. Although the barrel length may change, or stock design may differ, an AK will always be an AK, and they offer some impressive benefits for airsoft. Due to the design of the stock, which sits lower than the bore of the rifle, you have additional clearance for face masks (either lower mesh, or full face), making it more comfortable to use.

Internally you have a V3 gearbox, with short type motor housed in a motor cage. Unlike other designs, this cuts down on variance, and is partly what makes this design so reliable. This is one area that the real world and airsoft definitely share - you will be hard pushed to find something more dependable than the AK platform.

The EDGE 2.0 J-02 is a full length modern AK, constructed out of steel. Moreover, it is a single steel sheet, steel one-piece barrel, with real wood furniture. In other words, it is truly impressive to look and hold, and thanks to the EDGE 2.0 moniker, it shoots just as good as it looks.

Internally you have a V3 quick spring change gearbox with steel gears, aluminium air seal components, steel tooth piston, and factory fitted GATE ASTER trigger system - no more trigger contacts or microswitches; the ASTER users optical sensors for improved control, and greater sensitivity. But that's not all - you also have a tightbore barrel, paired with a metal hop up chamber, giving you great out of the box performance.
