Disco No Weapon Inside
And?
I mean all of them!
I know there are more in your pocket
No more, for sure!
You sure?
Ok, get in
Play Gels~
Since AKA released R1 last year
stand with Remington 870, this classic dude
and the perfect simulation, as well as the decent surface finish
This shell ejecting gel shotgun that sold 598RMB (90USD ish)
has been challenged in the market for a long time
and still staying at the first level of shell ejecting blaster
Of course, AKA isn’t that kind of manufacture who grabbed the money and then run away
because last month, they released the following product of R1: R2 “Super-Shorty” gel blaster
In fact, Super-Shorty isn’t a type of gun that being designed independently
instead, it’s a series of guns that being developed from Serbu Firearms based on Remington 870 or Mossberg 500
Its classic feature is the 6.5-inch mini barrel
and the pumping handguard changed to a folding grip, the stock is also removed as well
It is very convenient to carry on as a side-weapon
In many video games and movies, Super-Shorty also appears a lot
it should be a small star
As the following product of R1
AKA’s box is professional as usual
On the box, it directly shows the name of “SUPER-SHORTY”
the manual introduces the usage of the blaster
If you finished your elementary school
you can read and understand it in 10 seconds
Just like R1, in the foam protection
there is a goggle, AKA’s sandblasted gels, and the red shells
There are only three shells out of the box
but “Super-Shorty” could only hold 2+1 shells
so compare to R1, it gives an extra one
The shell’s body is red nylon and the butt is aluminum alloy
the size is entirely the same as R1’s
but the O-ring at the butt changes from black to white
The blaster itself uses the same bolt and trigger guard as R1
and the same red color tip
The outer appearance is replicated from the “Super-Shorty” that developed from Remington 870
This artwork maintains AKA’s standard high-quality
the wonderful lacquer finish and the texture
Even if you’ve played R1 before, this baby will still give you a sense of master-piece
The size isn’t big
but R2 uses a lot of alloy parts at the front
so the weight goes up to 915g
The length is only about 43cm
which is shorter than most of the rifles, sub-machineguns, and shotguns
My R1 has been upgraded with a long barrel
you can compare it obviously with R2
You can even hide it in your underwear if you want
You can notice the pins and the screws on the top of the receiver
R2 uses the same 870 type receiver as R1
but on the right side
“SUPER-SHORTY” and “Serbu Firearms” laser inscriptions are added on it
The lacquer finish on the one-piece receiver is still fantastic
no any unpolished edge
and the line is perfectly hidden
The red bolt inside the ejecting window
there is a black metal shell-grabber as usual
the independent code number is also AKA’s tradition
Inside the trigger guard, the metal trigger’s texture is nice
The bolt release in front of the safety
its original aluminum color from R1 is replaced to the black oxide lacquer
After playing R1 for a long time
its shell lifter and the bolt release might be stuck
it says R2 has improved and solved this problem
there is a hump added onto the lifter, helps to feed
According to the manufacture
R2’s nylon grip is replicated from the real steel in 1:1 scale
its surface texture is rougher than the receiver
The finger slot design makes a comfortable holding
On the butt of the grip
there is a huge allen screw assembles the grip with the receiver
On the top, there is a sling mount
Except for the tube mag stabilizer
the entire front parts including the barrel, tube mag, and the grip
are all made by aluminum alloy
Especially the metal rod that connected the grip and the bolt
the material is more solid than R1
the black oxide lacquer is also upgraded
At the front of the choke barrel
you can see the laser inscription of “REMINGTON ARMS”
and “3/4’ or 3’” on the other side
which means this “Super-Shorty”
has 70mm and 76mm two types of tube mag
Of course, this is just a simulated inscription from the real steel
Aluminum alloy inner barrel is already stabilized inside
8mm inner diameter as usual
The folding grip is a black d*ck-like stuff
skid resistance in the mid
Pull it out, hen you can switch it into folding or extended
When the tenon is in position, you can hear a clear “click”, very durable
the way of force is changed when pulling the grip
so some adaptions may be needed
The metal cover at the front of the mag tube is plain
which is different from R1 870’s standard type
According to the manual
better to hold the upper grip when pulling it
in order to prevent the shape change under the uneven force
The mag tube could contain two shells
and the one in the chamber, three shells in total
The smooth edge of the feeding nozzle is improved from R1
and now I’m able to double-shell reload finally
Besides, after a long term use and damage
R1 might have the ejecting problem or the shape change of the rod
R2 improves its internals, so the lifespan should be longer
it still works fine after playing it long times
The whole system is well simulated
and the bolt release is functional
if there is an unfired shell inside the chamber
you need to pull the bolt release then eject the shell
Using DD sandblasted gels
R2’s velocity is only about 40m/s
and its inner barrel is very short, so the trajectory isn’t good enough out of the box
Take two pins out of the receiver
then you can take out the traditional trigger part of R series
just a simple comparison
its structure has no difference with R1
The front part is assembled by two set screws and an allen screw on the top
Screw them out, then you can disassemble the receiver partly
Out of the box, the spring is 1.2mm line diameter
which is a big reduction compares to R1’s 1.4 spring
this might be the reason for the low velocity
Many of you might think
R2 is essentially a “skin change” based on R1
Except for some improvements of internals
the basic structure and the receiver remain the same, which is a little boring
However, you can notice two blasters from the R series
AKA is a manufacture that really cares about the quality
and the replication of this small star “Super-Shorty” is very insightful and careful
The product itself maintains R1’s high-quality, as well
870 is a classic type that has lots of potentials to be dug out
and various derivatives are also uncountable
Seems like AKA wants to set 870 as their featured series product
I am also expecting more derivatives in the future
that makes this series become the standard of pump-action shell ejecting gel shotgun!
