Cyma CM522U AK47 Rifle With Folding Stock in Black

Cyma CM522U AK47 Rifle With Folding Stock in Black

The Cyma CM522U AK47 is an ideal choice for beginners and budget-conscious players looking for a full-featured electric airsoft rifle. Designed by CYMA—one of the most respected Chinese airsoft manufacturers—this rifle delivers reliable performance and a modern twist on the classic AK platform, complete with a folding stock, RIS rails, and a full metal gearbox.

This airsoft rifle is built around a durable polymer frame with an alloy outer barrel and internal components, including a reinforced version 3 gearbox with steel gears and 8mm slide bearings. This solid internals setup provides a consistent firing velocity of approximately 350 FPS out of the box, making it skirmish-ready for outdoor and indoor airsoft games alike.

Externally, the CM522U stands out with its tactical RIS rail system, allowing for full customization with optics, foregrips, lights, and lasers. The included vertical folding foregrip provides enhanced control in close-quarters scenarios but can be easily replaced with any 20mm Picatinny-compatible grip. The polymer handguards feature integrated rails on all sides, giving you maximum flexibility for tactical loadouts.

The side-folding stock locks securely into place and can be quickly deployed or folded with a simple push and latch mechanism. This makes the rifle perfect for CQB environments or compact transport and storage. Despite its AK roots, this modernised version brings plenty of functionality, including an ergonomic pistol grip, textured for better handling, and an adjustable rear sight to help you stay on target.

A standout feature is the alloy 14mm CCW threaded barrel hidden beneath the muzzle device, letting you add tracer units, suppressors, or custom flash hiders. Internally, the CM522U houses a 390mm inner barrel and a highly effective adjustable hop-up unit accessible by pulling back the bolt carrier. This allows for precise backspin adjustment for improved range and accuracy using various BB weights.

The rifle comes with a high-capacity 500-round magazine that feeds BBs reliably via the traditional AK “rock and lock” method. It's also Tokyo Marui magazine compatible, meaning upgrades and replacements are widely available. The fire selector lever—classic to AKs—offers Safe, Full Auto, and Semi-Auto modes, with moulded-in Russian Cyrillic markings for added authenticity.

Powering the CM522U is an 8.4V stick battery housed under the steel top receiver cover. Accessing the battery compartment is easy—just press the button at the back of the cover to lift it off, insert the battery, and replace the cover. The rifle uses a Mini-Tamiya connector, making it compatible with most standard airsoft batteries and chargers.

Weighing in at 2.3kg, the CM522U offers a balanced feel comparable to an M4 or G36-style AEG. It combines the raw aesthetics of the AK platform with the functionality of modern tactical rifles, making it a versatile and visually striking option whether you're on the skirmish field or expanding your collection.
