E&L Airsoft AK12 Essential Version 2.0 AEG Rifle (AK12 Platform)

The E&L AK12 Essential Version 2.0 is a modern evolution of one of the most battle-proven rifle platforms ever made, built for players who want realism, reliability, and field-ready performance straight out of the box. Designed with serious skirmishers in mind, this AEG blends rugged steel construction with smart modern upgrades, making it equally at home on outdoor fields and dynamic, fast-paced games.

Externally, this rifle stays true to E&L’s reputation for realism, featuring a full steel receiver assembly, CNC steel outer barrel, and authentic sling mounting points that feel right whether you’re running a two-point or single-point setup. Polymer furniture—including the adjustable stock and heat shield/handguard—keeps the weight manageable while improving ergonomics and maneuverability. A full-length Picatinny top rail allows easy mounting of optics for players who prefer a modern AK setup.

Internally, the Version 2.0 platform delivers dependable performance with a full metal gearset and an ETU-V3 MOSFET for crisp trigger response and consistent firing. Shooting at approximately 385 FPS with .20g BBs, the AK12 is tuned for typical US field limits and pairs perfectly with an 11.1V Li-Po for snappy semi and confident full-auto performance. Whether you’re new to the AK platform or a long-time fan, this rifle delivers the toughness and performance Airsoft Extreme players expect.
