Frequently Asked Questions

What is the FosTech Echo Trigger and how does it function on the PSA AK-V?

The FosTech Echo Trigger is a binary trigger system that fires the PSA AK-V on both the pull and release of the trigger. This 'pull and release' mechanism allows for rapid firing, distinct from traditional full-automatic fire, and is legal under current regulations.

What accessories were featured on the PSA AK-V in the video?

The PSA AK-V was equipped with a Sig Sauer Romeo 5 red dot sight for rapid target acquisition and a SureFire 640 Dual Fuel weapon light, mounted with an articulating arm for a lower profile and versatile illumination.

What ammunition was tested, and what were the results?

Federal Syntech 9mm Luger 150 Grain Action Pistol ammunition was tested. The instructor noted its accuracy and performance in the PSA AK-V, despite the ammunition's unique bullet shape.

Were there any reliability issues observed with the PSA AK-V?

Yes, the video highlighted potential reliability issues with a 50-round drum magazine, specifically 'stovepipe' malfunctions. Past issues related to carbon buildup from suppressed fire were also discussed and resolved through cleaning and unsuppressed use.
