CYMA CM057C SVU Dragunov M-Lok AEG Airsoft Sniper Rifle in Black

The CYMA CM057C SVU Dragunov M-Lok AEG Airsoft Sniper Rifle in Black takes the unmistakable Russian SVD concept and squeezes it into the much shorter SVU bullpup layout. Based on the OTs-03 SVU, itself developed from the famous Dragunov platform, this airsoft rifle measures 920mm overall while still retaining the long, purposeful profile you'd expect from a designated marksman rifle. In the hands it feels substantial rather than flimsy, weighing approximately 3546g and combining an alloy receiver and outer barrel with strategically placed polymer components. It's an unusual Airsoft AEG, and that's a large part of the appeal.

The real SVU was developed as a shortened bullpup interpretation of the SVD, with the action moved behind the trigger to reduce overall length without turning the rifle into a tiny carbine. CYMA has reproduced that distinctive arrangement nicely with the CM057C. At the front you'll find an alloy dummy silencer and alloy outer barrel, giving the business end plenty of visual weight. There's also an alloy front sight, so despite the modernised furniture the rifle hasn't lost that characteristic Eastern Bloc flavour. Old-school Dragunov meets modern tactical kit, basically.

The big change on this CM057C version is the M-Lok handguard. It gives the SVU a much more contemporary appearance and provides a useful platform for compatible accessories without covering every available surface in bulky rail sections. Running along the top is a 20mm rail for fitting a compatible airsoft optic, while the M-Lok slots give you additional flexibility when setting the rifle up to suit your playing style. Fit an appropriate scope and the CM057C looks particularly mean. Prefer a cleaner setup? Leave the handguard relatively bare and enjoy the slimmer profile.

Moving towards the centre, the alloy receiver provides the solid backbone of the airsoft gun, accompanied by an alloy trigger and trigger guard. CYMA has fitted a cheek rest over the receiver area to suit the bullpup configuration, helping create a more comfortable position when getting behind an optic. The rear sight is also alloy, while the grip and stock components are polymer. That mixture makes sense on a rifle weighing around 3.5kg; making absolutely everything from metal would turn a long woodland game into an accidental arm workout.

Internally, the CM057C is an electric Airsoft AEG rather than a conventional manually operated spring sniper rifle. That changes how you can use it on the field. Both semi-auto and full-auto firing modes are available, giving the SVU considerable versatility for a Dragunov-style platform. Semi-auto naturally suits the designated marksman role, letting you pick individual shots and control ammunition use, while full-auto is there when the situation calls for a faster response. The supplied SVD-style magazine holds approximately 120 rounds, providing a sensible balance between capacity and the rifle's marksman character.

CYMA quotes the CM057C at approximately 380 FPS when tested with 0.20g 6mm BBs. An adjustable hop-up system allows the BB trajectory to be tuned, which is particularly useful on an airsoft sniper rifle or DMR-style setup where consistent longer-range shots matter. Get the hop dialled in with a suitable BB weight and the rifle becomes much more satisfying to use at woodland distances. Ever watched a BB sail beautifully towards a player only to drop a metre short? A properly adjusted hop is what helps avoid that particular bit of heartbreak.

Power comes from a compatible Ni-MH or LiPo battery using a Mini plug, giving players some flexibility when choosing their electrical setup. The battery and charger are not supplied with the rifle, so these will need to be purchased separately if you don't already have compatible equipment. As with any Airsoft AEG running around the quoted 380 FPS mark, it's worth checking the rules at your intended skirmish site before playing. Site limits can differ, particularly when a rifle is being used in a designated marksman role.

What makes the CYMA CM057C particularly interesting is the combination of a recognisable Dragunov lineage with a considerably less common bullpup body and modern M-Lok front end. At 920mm it remains a substantial airsoft rifle, but it feels noticeably more condensed than the traditional long SVD silhouette. The alloy receiver, outer barrel, dummy silencer, sights and trigger components give it the solid feel you'd expect, while the adjustable hop, 120-round magazine and selectable semi/full-auto operation make it practical rather than simply good-looking. For Russian-inspired loadouts, unconventional DMR builds or players bored of seeing another M4-style assault rifle across the safe zone, the CM057C certainly brings something different to the table.
