A&K Rock ZB26 AEG Support Airsoft Rifle in Black/Wood

The A&K Rock ZB26 is one of those airsoft guns that makes you grin the moment you pick it up. It’s a proper support-style replica with that unmistakable top-fed magazine profile, black metalwork, and real-feeling wood furniture that looks like it belongs in a period photo. If you’ve ever admired the ZB/vz.26 for its no-nonsense design (and the fact it helped inspire the Bren LMG), this AEG version delivers the same vibe in a skirmish-ready package—built for players who want something different from the usual M4 crowd.

Historically, the ZB/vz.26 was designed in the 1920s and earned a reputation for rugged reliability and straightforward engineering. A big part of that reputation was the removable barrel system, made for fast barrel changes in service use. This airsoft version nods to that heritage with a removable barrel assembly, giving you that hands-on, mechanical realism that’s rare on modern replicas. It’s not just a wall-hanger either—this is a field-ready support platform designed to be used, set up, and worked hard.

Let’s talk heft, because you’ll notice it immediately. At roughly 5700g (5.7kg), the ZB26 is unapologetically heavy, and that’s the point. It’s built like a support weapon and wants to be run like one—less “snap-shot while sprinting” and more “set up, lock in, and control a lane.” Luckily, it comes with a solid working bipod, so you can drop into prone or brace up behind cover and let the rifle do what it was made for: suppression and sustained pressure.

Construction is a big part of why it feels so authentic. You’ve got a mix of aluminium, steel, and wood, with the key stress parts and “knockable” bits leaning into metal where it matters. The bipod and many of the external components are steel, which means it can take the everyday bumps of a skirmish without feeling delicate. The wood furniture is also a nice touch—visually warm against the black metal, and it tends to pick up character with use, giving you that naturally worn, “been there” look rather than a glossy, toy-like finish.

Inside, the ZB26 runs a metal gearbox driving an AEG platform that’s built to be dependable. Out of the box you’re looking at around 300 FPS—nice and site-friendly for most UK fields—backed up by a fully adjustable hop-up so you can tune for your chosen BB weight. The magazine is a 160-round mid-cap style, feeding from the top in classic ZB fashion, which keeps the silhouette correct and makes reloads feel satisfyingly different compared to modern rifles.

Practicality-wise, you get fully adjustable sights for dialing in your point of aim, plus a working safety for safe handling in the safe zone and between games. The longer barrel setup helps with consistent shots, and once you’ve got the hop set properly you can expect the ZB26 to do exactly what you want from a support AEG: keep rounds going where you need them, steadily and predictably, while you and your team move around it.

Battery-wise, it’s designed around an 8.4V mini-type battery, with the option to run a 9.6V if you want a bit more snap and a livelier rate of fire. Even on the standard setup it’s responsive enough for controlled bursts, and with a higher voltage battery it leans further into that “support gun” role—short, aggressive bursts to keep heads down, or longer strings when you’ve got a good firing position and want to dominate the lane.

In short, the A&K Rock ZB26 isn’t trying to be a lightweight all-rounder. It’s for players who want a proper support airsoft rifle with historical character, robust materials, and a unique handling experience. If you like your kit heavy, your stance low, and your fire disciplined, this one will feel right at home.
