LCT AK BABY & TX BABY
LCT offer different styles and capacities of AKstyle magazines ( even a very cool drum these days !) at very reasonable prices (£ 13 will get you an AK74 70 rounder !), so this is easily achieved and there ’ s now a whole range of supporting “ AK Accessories ” in the LCT range too , made to the same scrupulous standards as their AEGs . A 7.4v LiPo is recommended and this type of battery fits easily under the top cover , although you can squeeze in an 11.1V LiPo and this does have a positive effect on the rate of fire .
Of course , when you ’ re playing close-in you really don ’ t need as much power as when you ’ re engaging over longer distances and again , LCT obviously recognise is not what these little beasties were designed for . In fairness though , with the “ TX ” supported I was able to send a BB out to the end of the 30m range reasonably accurately .
To sum up , these two re-released models from LCT have proved to me again that this manufacturer is truly building some of the nicest AK-style AEGs out there right now and each model I receive from them puts a big smile on my face . Both the classic “ Baby ” and the “ TX Baby ” come in at £ 199.00 apiece which , for what you ’ re getting in terms of looks , materials , build quality and performance , makes them absolutely tremendous value for money . If you ’ re a dedicated CQB player then one of these cracking little Kalashnikovs should be on your shopping list and , if like me you ’ re more into your outdoor scenarios then don ’ t worry , as LCT do a first rate AKS-74U for the same price as well !

With the magazine fully loaded and wound and a charged NP Power LiPo fitted , it was time to run the “ Babies ” through the chrono and the result was a very highly consistent average in both models of 0.78J / 290fps using . 20g BBs .
Obviously , with such a short barrel , I did wonder how the wee ones would perform in relation to both range and accuracy and once the hop and the iron sights were dialled in I was pleasantly surprised ! At 10m ( a normal CQB distance ) I was able to nail a target “ centre mass ” time and again , perfect for indoor and urban settings . The total absence of any stock at all means that as ranges increase things do tend to widen out significantly but that , of course , www . airsoftaction . net 23
