Everything you loved about the Action AAP-01 is still here in the 01C Shinobi. It retains the polymer frame, and the overall layout of the airsoft pistol’s controls.<\/p>\n

It also offers the same basic ergonomics (with a few upgrades, see below) along with a super-crisp, snappy, blowback action.<\/p>\n

Like the original, this one has a gas blowback bolt that moves within the upper assembly. Lighter and quicker than a slide, it offers faster cyclic rates and firing than a full slide.<\/p>\n

Which is a bonus here, since the AAP-01C is capable of semi and full-auto, like the original.<\/p>\n

And, since most of the dimensions are identical to the original, it has been designed with near-complete compatibility with existing AAP-01 parts and upgrades.<\/p>\n

So, like the original, you can customize an AAP-01C Shinobi in nearly any way you like.<\/p>\n

All in all, all the good stuff remains the same. This is still an Action Army AAP-01, just with a few upgrades.<\/p>\n

So let’s cover those.<\/p>\n

What’s New<\/h2>\n

The Action Army AAP-01C Shinobi GBB features an accessible fire control at the back of the pistol, enabling easier switches from safe to semi and full-auto modes.<\/p>\n

It also features upgraded texturing along the grip, with a bit of stippling along the sides and scale texture at the rear, both of which improve handling.<\/p>\n

The main upgrades to the AAP-01C Shinobi have to do with the upper. This GBB has a shorter upper than its forebear, giving it a lighter, more compact footprint.<\/p>\n

Also, there are Pic rails integrated into the top and bottom of the upper assembly, giving the AAP-01C native compatibility with Picatinny accessories. Adding a light, optic, or laser to this GBB is a snap.<\/p>\n
