Slowly, we are getting reviews from the known airsoft websites in Japan as reviewers get their hands on the newly released Tokyo Marui AA-12 Automatic Electric Shotgun (AES). It's an airsoft gun that many are excited about since it's the only thing of its kind in the world for now, and actually has three inner barrels. Now, the popular airsoft blog, Hyperdouraku, puts up a review which is always a detailed one, though there is no takedown of this AES.
Now with the Tokyo Marui AA-12 AES released in Japan, we get to hear initial reports from the usual suspects in Japan. First amongst the Japanese reviewers is Mach Sakai, who reviews it in termsof operation, hit accuracy, FET response, ease of use, and velocity. He says, it will take a bit of getting used to, especially on the ability to control the 3 inner barrels separately as they have their own Hop-Up. He finds trigger pull is good as there is a crisp response with the FET.
Many are excited about the pending release of the Tokyo Marui AA-12 Automatic Electric Shotgun that pre-orders are starting to fill-up. If you haven't found any retailer taking pre-orders, better proceed to WGC Shop as they are now taking pre-orders. Price is US$413.00, shipping costs not included yet.
