New Product Releasing
Come on in, we are starting soon
What do we have for today?
Can't tell you the detail for now
but I can tell you that the product has a high concentration of ACG
Hell yeah! I like ACG!
Many of you must know a famous sci-fi writer
Issac Asimov
His "Foundation" series could be seen as the Bible of the sci-fi field
The well-known "Three Laws of Robotics"
is also a classic principle he mentioned in his "I, Robot"
In Csgo video game
Black, white, orange color
with geometry line texture, the "Asimov" painting
is a piece for saluting Issac Asimov
This series of painting should be expensive in the video games
but it is beautiful, indeed
At this time, the remastered Nerf version of Jieying AWM
has quoted some "Asimov" painting style design from the game
From the virtual weapon in the video game
to the real model that could actually be played with
this is a magic feeling
Jieying's great sniper has been released for more than a year
there was always news that said Jieying remaster the shell ejecting version with MSR
Probably because of the nuke bomb from the end of last year
the release has been delayed until now
In the package, there is folding stock, receiver, barrel
five black shells and ten foam dart
obviously, the structure of the receiver is quite different from the previous version
you can see there is a very long mag well under the receiver
we will get to this later
Two screws are used to fix the receiver and the barrel
Directly insert the receiver into the stock, fix it with a big screw
Bipod is not included with the basic version
there is only a plastic scope for decoration
how can our Blaster Club let a great sniper be nude?
traditional two sets are necessary
The stock of this latest version is still made by the previous mold
which keeps the tradition that upgrading the two-plastic-piece body from Accuracy International to the one-piece body
but the entire receiver and barrel assembly, those internals are all re-designed
and added some details that do not exist in the previous version
The muzzle brake is removed
115cm in length, a little bit shorter than the previous version
2275g in weight for the stock status
approx. 3.3kg with full accessories
Jieying's material use is always satisfied
the stock and receiver are very solid
no reduction compared to the previous version
The biggest shining point of this version is the "Asimov" painting, for sure
This paint is printed on the surface by the UV printer
the finish is decent, no worry about scratches
Probably due to the concern of cost
the paint only covers the flat surface of the stock
the bottom and the barrel, places with the complicated structure are not considered
looks like stickers for the first impression
However, you can notice that this paint is carefully designed
above the black base
white and orange geometry figures cover most parts of the body
although it doesn't entirely replicate the white barrel and texture from the video game
it still gives a strong feeling of "Asimov"
could be seen as a variant of this series
The upgraded shell ejecting receiver
there are added markings on both sides
you can clearly see on the left side, .338 Cal
and L115A3, the model name of this gun
as well as the name of Accuracy International
The prototype I received here has a tiny shape defection on the shell ejecting port
it should be no problem with the mass production
The rail on the top is fixed by the screw
you can upgrade it to a metal one
the lock for holding the bolt is behind the logo marking
it's a bit rough to push this lock
You can see the classic shell ejecting cylinder structure inside the bolt
1.1 spring, steel extractor, and ejector
the same setup as MSR
The bolt handle is finished by shining black surface
looks better than the silver color on the previous version
Another realism simulation on the bolt is the loading indicator and the safety
This safety is functional
it will lock the bolt when it's on
the loading indicator isn't functional, just a decoration
the bottom of the bolt is made of nylon
but the details of the safety and loading indicator are worth giving a thumb
The bolt structure is not copied from MSR
the bolt will not rotate when pulling the metal handle
The action is smooth, but a bit wobble when pulling out
5-round capacity single stack single feeding magazine
is another key feature that Jieying has upgraded
the fatty mag on the previous version is finally losing its weight
The shell is the same .338 caliber as MSR
exactly identical straight cylinder style
but the durability has been strengthened
It might because the cracking shell was so common on the previous product
material has been changed now, problem fixed
The inner diameter is also 11mm like MSR
The foam dart out of the box is shorter than before
which might increase some accuracy or range
In order to fit the thinner mag
the spacer is applied inside the mag well
which explains why there is an extra mag well shell under the receiver
The metal hinge of the folding stock is quite solid
but the mold is still the old one
so the strange bug of the rectangular buttstock rubber is still existing
There is a little metal nub to lock the folding stock
the shape of this nub....
I feel awkward with that
The cheek rest could be adjusted by the screw
but it doesn't have the large bolt that could be adjusted by hands on the standard L115A3
The supporter under the stock is still unpainted aluminum alloy
shining and fancy
The rail base at the front for the bipod is still a piece of stupid nylon
which is fixed by friction
and does not have QC release
this detail is not quite simulated
the lower rail has official metal replacement parts, like the top rail
The outer barrel of nerf shell ejecting version
has been changed to the L118A1 type which has neither muzzle brake nor barrel groove
only a straight plain nylon barrel
craftmanship is fine, no curving issue
but I feel like it is not as solid as before
suspicious for some unreasonable reduction
and no inner barrel inside
This upgraded AWM mag has a higher level of realistic simulation
single stack and single loading, five rounds capacity in total
You can't simply push the shell into a single stack magazine
you have to insert the shell from the front end
just like that
pretty far ejecting
feels like it has a stronger ejecting than MSR
This shell is totally the same as MSR's shell
but the given form dart out of the box is shorter
Maybe the manufacture has realized after testing
that the standard length dart has a damn too pissed range
so they switch to this shorter one
let's see how it performs
Nothing dramatically improved compared to MSR
The velocity is still around 22-24m/s
but I think the shorter dart has a little batter trajectory performance
The trajectory is quite better than before
it is flatter during flying
the grouping is also tighter
but I think it's basically because of the lighter foam dart
which makes this improvement
However, the basic internal performance doesn't really improve
almost the same as MSR
since the cylinder and air volume is there
Pay attention when disassembling
there is an adding locking mechanism at the butt of the receiver
you could only see it after pulling out the bolt
push this little hidden button to remove the receiver
The stock set is identical to the previous version except for the paint
Therefore, this shell ejecting internal could 100% be assembled on the previous version stock
not even a different screw, just insert it directly
Compared to the previous version, this blaster from Jieying
could really be seen as the 2.0 version
Aside from the upgrading shell ejecting function
the marking on the receiver, better-simulated bolt style
are also totally improved by Jieying
the cracking shell from before is also enhanced with stronger material
it is a faithful manufacture
but some little bugs on the stock
I would say buy a new mold is expensive
using the old mold is understandable
Meanwhile, the price of this Nerf version is very competitive
In my opinion, 398CNY (about 60USD) will let you hold an "Asimov"
this is way better than a virtual gun
Don't go yet!
More AWMs are coming!
Let's simply go through the gel blaster version of this AWM with shell ejecting function
The package here is still like the previous one
seems like only the Nerf version uses cardboard box
the gel blaster version is using their traditional gift box
there is also a post picture inside like before
The gel blaster version I got here is OD green
The stuff inside is basically the same as Nerf version
but since the projectile is gel balls
so the shell doesn't need to be a straight cylinder type
it has the shrunken front end
just like MSR's
a given plastic scope
There is an inner barrel inside
made of aluminum alloy, a port at the front for corrected volume
There are grooves on this outer barrel
whereas the Nerf version doesn't have this
there is also a muzzle brake
the chassis stock is identical
nothing special to talk about, all the same
Jieying's stock is always perfectly made, very comfortable
all the lines are sharp and straight
the magazine is the same as the Nerf version, as well
single stack, five rounds capacity
here is the receiver
The biggest difference on this receiver compared to Nerf version
the bottom of the bolt is metal, cast metal
The safety here, very nice and smooth
it will not move at all when safety is on
tightly locked
nylon part for the Nerf version
The chamber here is probably different from the Nerf version
just like MSR
which will only match with the shell with shrunken front end
Hmm, the shell ejecting is beautiful
Really feels that the ejecting force is definitely stronger than MSR
The gel blaster version has the inner barrel, let's assemble it first
two screws sit here
Here it is, the gel blaster version
Technically, the main differences are
the metal bolt end
and the groove on the barrel
the muzzle brake
the shell is different as well
that's it, nothing more is different
oh, the gel blaster version is 100 bucks more expensive
