SPECNA ARMS SA-FX01 FLEX<br />
So what is the FX01? It’s Specna Arms’ newest<br />
“9mm carbine” addition to the brand’s FLEX range,<br />
which is an entry level series aimed to those starting to<br />
play or looking for a back-up replica. It’s unbelievably<br />
light, since it’s built mostly with polymer reinforced<br />
with nylon fiber, which according to the brand makes<br />
it more resistant than other polymer replicas. In the<br />
field it as so far proved to be quite sturdy, I’ve used<br />
it in several games, and even in a couple of bigger<br />
and harsher ones. No issues in being carried around<br />
for many hours, getting in and off vehicles in a rush,<br />
tumbling around in thick woodland areas and even<br />
some CQB fights. Not only that, but it never failed me<br />
with extreme heat (37C max) or even rain. Sure, even<br />
if it doesn’t have the performance of the higher-end<br />
ranges within Specna Arms, but it’s great to have a<br />
light replica during big events, and it certainly fulfils<br />
the role it was built for.<br />
But, how is the performance of the FX01? For<br />
its price it’s pretty good, there is no other way to<br />
describe it! Sure, it doesn’t have the range with the<br />
same precision of, for example, an EDGE 2.0, but it<br />
did surprise not only me, but all those who had the<br />
chance of testing it first-hand. You can easily hit a<br />
human-size target at 40-45m, but at 50m there will<br />
be some dispersion, and this while using .25g BBs. It’s<br />
hard to ask for more.<br />
I also had the chance of testing it with .28g and<br />
