EGM A4 STD submachine gun replica

EGM A4 STD submachine gun replica

EGM is a replica belonging to the economic class of G&G replicas. The manufacturer has managed to combine high quality with a low price by using plastic material to make the receiver. The elements made from metal are the iron sights, trigger, outer barrel, sling mount and bolt cover, while the receiver was made of durable plastic reinforced with fibreglass and painted in matte black. Just as in the real steel, the stock, front grip and pistol grip are made of polymer. The replica features very high quality of workmanship, so apart from the slightly smaller weight, at the first glance it is not different from the standard, metal version.

The replica has a fixed stock fitted to hold a battery. The battery itself can be plugged in after demounting the rubber buttpad. To gain access to the hop-up chamber we need to pull back the charging handle and lock it in the back position. The fire selector has graphic markings of fire modes and is located on both sides of the receiver, which allows left-handed people to use it without problems. After unscrewing a pad on the flash hider, a 14mm thread can be found allowing to install a silencer.

The replica is equipped with an amazing Blow Back system, which imitates the work of its counterpart in a real steel version. The dummy bolt moves back and forth, delivering a noticable recoil to the shooter's shoulder, ensuring additional realism and offering more of a “real feel” to shooting. The Pneumatic Blow-Back system operates on the principal of taking a part of the compressed air from the gearbox to a special cylinder that is located above the gearbox’s casing. The small piston that is located in the Pneumatic Blow-Back system moves a thin plate that is attached to it. The plate imitates the bolt carrier.

WARNING: the manufacturer does not advise to use a battery stronger than 8,4V in view of the possibility of damaging the said metal plate.

The gearbox is equipped with 8mm ball bearings, brass cylinder head and an aluminium piston head.
