I’ve ran this gun at 7 MSW events. Holding the trigger down for minuets at a time. It has never failed me. I 100% recommend this to anyone as a great out the box gun!
I love my LCT, I got it way cheaper at my local field's store, but even at 400+ I'd say it was worth the money. The only gripe I ever had about it was that it was so unbelievably unbalanced. So much of the weight sat towards the front of the gun, and adding weights to the back would just make an already awkward to carry gun uncomfortable in a different way. But the weird weight wasn't why I stopped using it. It has a bipod for a reason, after all. It was because my field changed their full auto rules to only internationally recognized lmg's *with feed trays* because some players were unaware of some minutiae in what makes an lmg such. (Not their fault they didn't know, but it was easier to change the rules than to explain it all the time.) I wasn't gonna carry around all that weight just to fire semi auto. Thus, it became a gorgeous wall hanger
ahhh yes, the gun that got me into being a dedicated machine gunner for my airsoft role. This RPK has been arguebly one of the best AK's in airsoft i ever used. Its very much the reason i got into the PKM and Support gunning as a whole. For someone who actually values realistic weight for both training and for the realism factor i enjoy every aspect of it. I ended up selling it due to moving but ive always regreted it and really want to pick up another one (and maybe daytona it)
I love the RPK!!! If by any chance you can make a review of the RPK-16, that would be delightful, as there are very few videos about it. Great review for a great gun.
I have the 16 and the 74MN and i probably will buy RPKS in the future. I love the platform and the lct quality. I’m just sad because i never got an rpk dog tag for my 74MN, frickin evike dude.
I lost both of my buttplate screws, replaced them then rewired mine to stick the battery under the dust cover. I guess you must have gotten an older generation one too, because mine came with a quick change spring... and I had to file the trigger contact carriage because it had a rough cast and would stick.
8lbs, 8lbs! That's so light. Sometimes I forget how light airsoft replicas are but even as someone with a 5lb replica myself it's still very light. I know that with how long it is the weight is more out there.
I like the club stock battery placement solely because my LCT RPK has a heavy mock bolt that wouldn't fit the battery. Gives it a bit more realism, it's a nice addition.
What would your impression be on the RPK-16 had it been the longer barrel variant instead of the short barrel variant we have now? I'm digging my RPK-16, though, but I still have much respect for the OG RPK.
One of my first nicer or soft guns was a cyma rpk that had a new tight bore pop-up piston we played at this outdoor field that was semi Close Quarters and pretty much anyone I could see on the field I was able to hit even when I was out of range for them I miss Kill Zone in Southern California
This is a random idea that would be difficult for a manufacturer to make but the DP-28 aka “The Dinnerplate”. I’m a nerd/sucker for Soviet era firearms/replicas
i thought the title said RPD not RPK and i was honestly disappointed, BUT, the RPK is a lot more easy to get people onto for that at both the price and the lighter weight
ive got the rpk74mn(black polymer furniture). always turns heads in games and fields, but its a hassle to use if the field doesnt allow for full auto, cause then its just a big and clunky ak when i could just use a regular ak. my only gripe is the bipod. out the box it wobbled a lot, and swung around the barrel. i put some black electric tape over it so its fine now but i wish it was a little sturdier or to the barrel somehow. Besides that i really do like it. If you plan on buying it buy a decent sling, as just rawdogging it in your arms all day will not be fun.
I am also an RPK lover, but mine is a CYMA I purchased 'used & abused'... I put a Gate Nano mosfet in it, which is just a power regulator. I have had it for 6 years now, and it has given me zero issues.
@@BloPsy__ I went to a guys house who I've known on and off for a while. Little did I know he had built up a collection of over 70 guns 😂 I held a few LCTs and instantly got a taste for the finer aegs in life. And I'm a huge cyma fan boy but it's not even close.
This makes me want a rock and ak even more but I gonna change the rear sight and put a optic mount on just for when I find one a old Soviet optic anyway I think you should do a review on a m16a1 I don't know if you did one but we gotta get an American cold war gun
for the rear sight i think it was just bad reference or sth cuz they DO make those sights for the rpd so it would have been weird if they decided not to use it when they already make it
I love my lct rpk. I got the new one with a gate aster and a deens plug. My only complaints are no wood grip, it's missing the proper rear sight, and the battery compartment sucks to deal with.
1.7j on semi but drops to 1.5j on auto? 250ft with .28g at that energy is kinda sus, you have a laser rangefinder with you during these tests or just guessing the range?
Hey Scott is this video demonetized? I had to really look for this video in the search. I'm not getting notifications from this channel. Really good review though.
The LCT G3 was my 2nd worse OOTB gun ever (beaten by the GHK AK), still not perfect because you can't shim it perfectly, the sector gear is too tight even with no shims on it. However the basic electronics was not something I griped about, most people (incl. me) throw their favorite upgrades in the gun anyway. The shitty midcaps can be fixed with upgrade M4 midcap springs, it's a pain in the ass to change them though. The air seal was crappy, needed a longer nozzle. And the selector plate was out of spec, I had no safe position.
Bro! RPK have different sights then AK. RPK sight have horizontal elevetion and CYMA do right sights. Also real RPK have heavy barrel and more fat handguard. If you want more real RPK you need stuff from Vepr rifles (civil guns AK-type based on RPK)
i have an lct rpk-16. it worked ok, but all of a sudden it works find on full auto but on semi it just clicks and not shoot. bummed out since it is expensive and moved on to arcturus and cyma.
I dont play airsoft but I have owned one of these replicas for years now. In fact think I paid $200 for it at the time. and after a hop up, and lipo upgrade and some new furniture on it doesn't look quite the same anymore. But after years if using and abusing she still looks and runs as fine as aged whine 🔥
I own the RPKS74 and when I first got it, disappointing sums it up. For a very expensive gun the range and accuracy sucked. It took a fair amount of upgrades to make it usable.
I’ve handled the CYMA a lot of the years and the LCT just felt so much better. It’s not the most realistic thing out there as that’s not what LCT focuses on but it’s a tough contender.
If you care about externals then yes. The cyma cm052 RPK is a good option for it's price and can be found on taiwangun for cheap. I would recommend upgrading the internals on both rifles tho.
@@USAirsoft they thank you for your review I wanted to buy a rpk for 6 years now and to see that this is Same RPK is killing it on the field is sick imma buy one right away. Thank you for being helpful.
It's a lot of fun but definitely overrated. For the price, LCT could do a lot better - neodymium motor, non-wobbly sights, a bipod that actually stays in place, etc...
for triple the price you can get a semi auto rpk but only in semi auto, however they pack quite a punch that would make sure your opponents react strongly to their hit
Real gun wise the RPD is belt fed with an open bolt flapper lock mechanism. The RPK is essentially just a beefed up AKM with a ticker trunnion, longer/thicker barrel and a bipod. For both airsoft versions the RPK uses standard AK internals, and can use any AK mags (as long as the mags you’re using fit and feed), while the LCT RPD uses proprietary internal parts, and can only use the drum for ammo.
