Do you know the difference between an AK-47 and a Type 56, other than the country who manufactured it?

As for CYMA and TM.... with plastic furniture and body screws.... yay....

Newer version of CYMA AK variant are full metal and some are full steel as well and the price can't really beat them. I bought them mainly for shells anyway, Their internal has been replace since the day I got them.

So if you don't know what the difference is, why do you feel the need to comment on it?

This help?
The difference is that type 56's.....
1) always having a closed circle front sight hood
2) usually have folding bayonet, but underfolder stocked version do not have bayo present
3) no muzzle brake

Aswell as different body style, markings and sight marking

The "steel" bodies on the new CYMA guns don't even begin to compare to the RS steel, nor does the quality of wood or internals. The "steel" CYMA guns aren't lacking in pot metal parts.

And it uses TM's design, which means an extended receiver to fit the gearbox.

The CYMA isn't a copy of an AK47, it's a copy of another airsoft gun. At least the Type 56 RS copied was made with Russian blueprints, unlike the airsoft guns CYMA copied.

This guy is looking at CYMA guns. He obviously doesn't care about realism down to the markings and front sight loop.

CYMA/TM based guns aren't accurate on body size anyway, so you can't say they have a plus on RS in that sense.

I think the jury is unanamous here, if you want a badass ak variant then go with the type 56. I have one and its better than 5 G&G's

Was there really a need for a triple post?

I've got one and a full steel KWA M11.

Haven't seen either yet in person, but I'm really looking forward to seeing which is the more badass of the two.

edit: triple posts save me editing time.
BTW what happened to post counts?

Really ? If I don't know then how can I comment.

The only invisible between Type 56 and AK 47 is that AK 56 is has fulll enclosed hooded front sight and AK47 has partially enclosed front sight. The Type 56 from Real Sword has folding bayonet where as AK 47 bayonet can be detached. I think, that's all beside the date of their manufacture and version of Type 56 below 1960 was using milled receiver to low down the cost of production, basically mainly market to Asian but after 1960 they are using stamped steel receiver like newer AKM variant from Russian.

By the way, there is currently no clear source that Real Sword Type 56 is made from Real Steel Receiver or whatever as they advertise beside only clearly state from Manufacture.

I'm not here talking about quality of Real Sword Type 56, I used to have 2 of them or probably get another one. I knew their sh*t from head to bottom. From what I mean it is not exactly replica of AK 47 made by Russian to be precise. That's all.

I'd rather have the wrong front sight loop than have a gun with lower quality materials and the wrong type of finish all over the gun. At least a sight you can swap out...

good for you and got for it. I rather have both of them. :rolleyes:

Which is why I mentioned Inokatsu.
