The AAP-01 earned its place by being cheap to buy, easy to run and almost endlessly customisable. Hundreds of parts are made for it, so it can stay a plain sidearm or turn into a carbine-kitted SMG or an HPA speedsoft gun as you go.
Out of the box it has a semi/full selector built in, a Tokyo Marui-style quick-adjust hop dial and a steel bolt latch. The housing is zinc alloy, the loading nozzle is nylon fibre, and a G18-type anti-freeze rubber helps it keep cycling when the weather turns cold.
It takes a range of G-series magazines, the magazine catch can be swapped to either side, and fibre-optic sights make the front post easy to find. The 14mm threaded outer barrel comes with a thread cover fitted.

Good to know before you buy
Gas and BBs are not included, and one magazine runs dry fast on full auto, so plan on a spare or two.
The AAP-01 is a popular base for upgrades, so it is worth deciding early whether you want to keep it stock or build it up.
