Snoopy90 Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 is anyone getting the UTG AK-47??? what can we expect (both my UTG MP-5's were Lemons so i think i am going to get a sniper now or an UTG AK-47 warhawk) Link to post Share on other sites
Bob the Angry Potato Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 No. It looked like a good project gun, then people who got the first-gen started complaining about creakiness, poor-quality plastic and other problems. Then, the SRC Full-Metal and Wood AK47 came out and I forgot all about it. Link to post Share on other sites
cvrfc1326 Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 ShortyUSA has them due out on Jan. 2. We'll have to wait til then, unless some retailer has already tried them. Link to post Share on other sites
Snip3d Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Well, from just looking at the pictures and specs. The gun looks VERY promising, only if i had $140...I need to start selling things Absolutely gorgeous looking gun!! Link to post Share on other sites
vengecore Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 I'm going to get one for sure. My UTG mp5 impressed the hell out of me and I still use even with my CA35K. I have always wanted an AK but I don't want to buy a TM. I have never really liked the sighting on AK's. Supposedly AirsoftAtlanta.com is getting their first shipment in this week. I have played with the first version and second versions of this new gun. the 1st didn't acccept TM mags and the Faux wood furniture was just plain disrespectable. the 2nd on the other hand is much more superior. UTG is calling it the Night hawk or something lame like that. I imagine it will be a much better gun than the Mp5. Link to post Share on other sites
whogben Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 I am going to wait for staticzero or similar review. It's 40% more expensive than the UTG MP5 with only 10fps more. If someone gets it and does a review, here is my review wishlist: Accuracy tests: Some pics of its hits on an 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper at 30 ft. 60ft, 100ft, etc - as far as you can still hit the paper with at least some shots. Internals review: How is the gearbox? The motor? The spring? The wiring? The hopup? Successful upgrades: Does the wiring fix from the UTG MP5 improve the UTG AK as well? What kind of spring can it drive stock? How about with new bushings? New wiring? What voltage battery can it handle and with what ROF? Build quality / durability: Does it creak? Is the weight nicely balanced? Any bits that come off? Any issues like the loose/scratchy selector switch on the V1 UTG MP5? Skirmishability: Does dirt get in the holes when the rail mount is detatched? Is the stock range enough to hold up in a woodland match? How about with the upgrades youve successfully or hypothetically installed? Compariston to UTG MP5 on all counts. I think this might be my first decent AEG, but I want to learn more about it and maybe wait for a V2 if it has any issues. The biggest factors for me are what cheap upgrades it can take, and accuracy. I love AK style sights and cant stand peep sights, so that limits my options - meaning I really really hope this thing lives up to expectations. Link to post Share on other sites
Cyber Soldier Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 I've seen and handled the UTG AK47, I can say it is very solid and robust. Haven't had a chance to fire it yet but it seems to me that it's almost on a par with the marui AK. Link to post Share on other sites
Snoopy90 Posted December 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 i think i am going to get a sniper b/c my MP-5 UTG both times they where lemons... and i dont really wanna take any chances with the AK Link to post Share on other sites
dryrot141 Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Two weeks ago I would have said "HELL YEAH!!!!!!!". But when I saw a picture of the gun I felt as if a large,burly man had raped my eyes. Literally, taking his penis and forceibly inserting it into my eye socket. This is a truly ugly gun. Although if it performs well enough I suppose I could just paint the ugliness out of it( my inital reaction was to beat the ugliness but that would simply create very small, ugly pieces).

Snip3d Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 What has changed on it to make it so undesirable??? Link to post Share on other sites
O_RLY?.YA_RLY! Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 He must have seen it with all the ###### on it. If you take all that stuff off i think it would be a pretty decent looking gun. Link to post Share on other sites
dryrot141 Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Changed? Two weeks ago was the first time I saw a picture of the actual gun, up till then I thought it would look like a normal AK. Then I saw a picture of the actual UTG. Those of you with weak stomachs should avert your eyes and scroll past this. This 'thing' it a travesty, a crime against airsoft guns everywhere. Link to post Share on other sites

First to Die Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 it seems to me that it's almost on a par with the marui AK. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I wouldn't touch UTG with a very long RIS rail. As for their sniper i'd go with marui anyday, you can pick up a VSR for £115 so why not get one that will work? Link to post Share on other sites
dryrot141 Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Sigged! +1, that was great. Just... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> PLUS 1!! BOO-YAH!!! Thank god the rail is removable via screw. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Its not the RIS rail thats the problem, its what the rail is connected to. Namely the gun. Link to post Share on other sites
whogben Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 haha, very funny. Let me post some pics of the UTG final production AK as well. Sure it looks ###### with that handle on it, but remember, you can make any gun look lousy with enough *beep* on it. http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/images/894.jpg http://66.219.104.208/images/894b.jpg Looks pretty nice to me.

whogben Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Same gun minus the ugly bits. Its been said the wood finish is better than the TM version. Link to post Share on other sites
hivemind Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I'm waiting for this gun. If it's on par with UTG's MP5, I'll be buying and upgrading one of these instead of buying a new CA/TM/ICS gun. Money's burning a hole in my pocket though... Link to post Share on other sites
slvrgtstang Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Seeing that UTG has had 3 versions of the MP5, I'm pretty sure they used that gun as a test for the AK and its successors of which haven't been released, and we all know they will eventually release a whole lot more guns if the AK is as popular as the MP5. I suspect that a lot of the bugs have been worked out because they have learned from the mistakes they have made with the MP5 and HOPEFULLY made the AK better to start off with then all 3 of the revisions of the MP5. I'm going to get one eventually, I just need to find my money... hmm now where did it go to... oh yeah GAS MONEY. Link to post Share on other sites
