Javelin Airsoft Works – AK47 Battle Veteran EBB

Manufacturer: Javelin Airsoft Works
Type: AEG


Javelin Airsoft Works – AK47 Battle Veteran EBB

Javelin Airsoft Works AK47 Battle Veteran EBB (Electric Blow Back) airsoft rifle is 1 a new series of JAW Line. The Battle Veteran series has simulated wear marks on the metal body which gives it a more authentic look.

This rifle has a real wood furniture and metal body. It takes a stick style battery, but the top cover and fore grip have been modified to take a longer, 9.6 volt battery.

What most impressed me, is this AEG has mostly AK47 furniture and body parts. This isn’t just a Javelin AK74 that had the body sanded. The body and wood furniture are replicas of the original AK47. The rifle I got for review didn’t include a metal metal flash hider, so you’ll want to replace the plastic orange one with a AK47 specific FH like a slant break.

The included MOSFET is also a nice addition. It’s in an aluminum housing and can be moved out of the body for battery installation if needed. I test fired with an 11.1 volt, 20c stick Lipo battery and had no issues. A 9.6 NiMH stick battery will also work, but it’s a very snug fit.
