Full description

Description

This AEG has full licensing from Diamondback Firearms, the real steel American gun company. It is a short assault rifle, based loosely on Diamondback's popular DB15 series of assault rifles. This replica shares some features with the real steel rifles, such as the Diamondback markings that feature all over the rifle. Complete your American loadout with a rifle that features genuine American firearm trademarks, ensuring ultimate realism!

Starting at the tip of the alloy outer barrel we can find an alloy Helios™ suppressor, which mounts to the 14mm CCW male threading hidden underneath. The Helios™ logo is a nice touch as it adds to the premium feel of this suppressor, and the trademark is sure to draw eyes whilst out on the battlefield. Also included in the box is a Helios™ compensator if you prefer a shorter more compact style, the compensator features 24mm threading on it for an aftermarket tracer unit or a suppressor.

Surrounding the 7" outer barrel we have the polymer M-LOK rail handguard, which is styled after the real steel and gives the rifle an authentic look. The M-LOK attachment interface is functional and allows the 2 included Picatinny rail sections to be moved around and mounted anywhere at the 3, 6 or 9 o'clock position on the handguard, aftermarket M-LOK accessories can also be attached to these sections. On this polymer handguard, we can see our first Diamondback trademarks, sitting at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions. These have been laser engraved into the handguard and look incredible.

The 12 o'clock position of the handguard provides a full-length 20mm Picatinny rail which integrates seamlessly with the receiver rail to allow for longer optical sights to be used or red dot sight magnifier combos. As it arrives, the DB15 AP306 is equipped with a pair of flip-up aperture iron sights, the front sight has adjustable elevation and the rear sight has adjustable windage. The front sight has a rotary adjuster just under the post and the rear sight has turrets on either side which can be twisted to move the sight left and right. The sights can be deployed by flipping them up, which will snap the sights into the upright position. To stow the sights, simply push them back down and they will click into place. The rear sight has two hole sizes that can be changed on the move so you can engage your opponents at any range.

Moving rearward we reach the receiver, which has a familiar M4/AR-15 layout and is constructed from high-density polymer. The fire selector is ambidextrous, located on both sides of the AEG, sitting directly above the pistol grip to provide fast and easy access. The fire selector has a 90-degree throw between modes and makes a satisfying click into place, it is quick to operate and the tactile click ensures you won't accidentally knock it and end up in the wrong fire mode without realising it. Each fire mode is indicated with recessed markings reading SAFE-SEMI-AUTO.

Located dead centre on the left side of the receiver we find a dummy bolt release catch which doesn't have a function on this Airsoft AEG but is included anyway to keep the externals looking realistic. The bolt release perfectly pairs with the Diamondback trademarks to make this AEG look extremely authentic and avoid the tell-tale signs that this is an Airsoft gun and not the real deal.

The magazine release is on the right side of the magazine well and is perfectly positioned to be pressed with the trigger finger when it's time to reload. The design is a unique rectangular shape and the surface of the mag release is textured to provide the necessary gripping qualities. Slightly rearwards of this mag release is another laser-engraved Diamondback trademark, further solidifying the realism that this AEG displays.

Pulling back the extended charging and letting it retract pops open the steel dust cover. Immediately, the 5.56 NATO marking is noticeable on the inside of the dust cover/mock ejection port cover. These markings denote the ammo type that would be shot from a real steel variant of this rifle. On the mock bolt plate, there is an additional trademark, this is the Diamondback logo and is bright white which brilliantly contrasts the rest of the metallic black port.

The adjustable HOP-up unit is located inside this mock ejection port. This device allows you to adjust the amount of backspin applied to your BBs and tune the DB15 AP306 for your ammo weight of choice, looking for the flattest possible trajectory. The Rotary HOP-up adjuster can be accessed by holding the charging handle back and keeping the mock bolt plate retracted. The rotary HOP-up design is known as the latest and greatest for M4 AEGs, it retains the HOP-up settings better than previous gear adjustment styles.

The pre-installed pistol grip is an exclusive Bo Manufacturer grip that offers plenty of positive grip when handling the rifle. It is a modern ergonomic design with indents at either side of the top for your thumb to comfortably sit on for both left and right-hand shooters. It features a rough texture on the left and right sides for a good grip, and the BO Dynamics insignia is present on the rear of the grip. The trigger is known as the CNC Type A Flat trigger, offering a flat serrated front surface with a short finger ledge, ideal for rapid double taps. It is also skeletonised to add to the modern look and shave off precious grams to make the rifle even lighter.

Following the receiver, we reach the PDW-style buffer tube. It is constructed from polymer and provides 3 positions of adjustment. To adjust the stock position, press down both buttons located on either side of the stock then slide the stock to your desired position. There is an additional Diamondback trademark featured along the left PDW stock bar. The butt plate is constructed from high-density polymer and features a skeletonised design, it provides comfort and security when wearing full-body gear and operating from modern shooting stances. The buffer tube has a raised cheek pad for improved comfort. A Diamondback logo can be found on the butt plate, the real steel branding makes this AEG look genuine!

The battery compartment is located within the PDW buffer tube and can be accessed by removing the stock. To do this, press the buttons to adjust the stock then slide it off, afterwards, you can press the tab on the top of the buffer tube and remove the cap to access the Deans style connector. The BO Dynamics DIAMONDBACK DB15 AP306 7" M4/AR-15 AEG has an included 11.1V 1000mAH crane-style battery included. This battery is an extremely tight fit due to the small size of a PDW buffer tube. Be careful when installing the battery, do not crush any of the battery cells and do not damage any of the wires.

This AEG features some good internals for a rifle of this price range. It includes a version 2 gearbox with 18:1 ratio steel gears on 8mm ball bearing bushings, durable maple leaf HOP-up rubber, a 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel, a programmable electronic trigger unit and an integrated MOSFET unit that keeps your electronics in check from short circuits and burnouts. The programmable electronic trigger modes are full-auto, semi, a burst of 2, 3, 4 and 5 shots (pressing the trigger will fire the programmed number of shots) and a Binary / Double tap mode.

For those who are relatively fresh to the battlefield or maybe an experienced Airsofter looking for a lightweight backup platform, the BO Dynamics DIAMONDBACK DB15 AP306 7" M4/AR-15 AEG is perfect for your needs. It also includes lots of additional accessories along with the rifle, plenty of gear for a low price! With its elite looks, good preinstalled internals, plenty of trademarks from Diamondback and its solid lightweight polymer construction, the DB15 AP306 is a great versatile platform for all players!

Further Information

FALCON EFCS MOSFET

Please note that the gun's EFCS system is only compatible with LiPo Batteries, and is not compatible with LiFe or NiMh batteries.

Please note that both binary fire and burst modes can be set, as binary fire is applied to semi, and 1-5 fire mode is applied to full auto.

FALCON EFCS Protection Feature

Gearbox Protection

When the current is too high or abnormal the power supply on the EFCS will disconnect to protect the motor and battery, and the motor will vibrate three times.

If the battery's voltage is too high the EFCS power supply will automatically disconnect and the motor will vibrate twice.

Battery Protection

The FALCON EFCS has an operating voltage between 6-13v. If the voltage is too low or too high the power supply will be cut. If the voltage of your battery is too low, the FALCON will notify the user via 5 vibrations, then cut the power to protect your battery.

Vibration Description

  • 1 - Power On
  • 2 - System Error
  • 3 - Voltage too high
  • 5 - Low Voltage
