G&G Full Metal L85 A1 SA80 ETU AEG Airsoft Rifle in Army Green

The G&G L85 A1 SA80 ETU AEG is a true gem for those who appreciate the more unique side of the airsoft gun world. While the L85 platform has often been avoided due to its complex bullpup design, G&G has taken the plunge and delivered a rock-solid, full metal replica that nails the look, feel, and performance of the real steel L85A2. Weighing in at a hefty 3.95kg—yes, even heavier than the actual unloaded rifle—this beast feels properly substantial in your hands. From the first moment you shoulder it, there's no mistaking it for anything else.

Externally, G&G hasn’t cut corners. The stamped steel, heat-treated receiver gives off an authentic military vibe, while the high-quality polymer furniture keeps it faithful to the original British Army aesthetic. Even the breakdown process mirrors the real L85A1, a feature that hardcore milsim players and collectors will absolutely love. If you're looking for something beyond your typical M4 or AK platform, this is a refreshing departure.

But it’s not just about looks. Internally, this airsoft rifle has been thoroughly modernised. G&G has fitted it with their highly respected Electronic Trigger Unit (ETU), giving you crisp, consistent trigger response with every shot. Rapid semi-auto fire? No problem. The ETU prevents common gearbox lock-up issues and helps extend the life of your trigger contacts, making this a practical skirmish weapon as well as a looker.

Powering the system is a built-in MOSFET, which opens the door for 11.1v LiPo batteries without risking damage to the internals. Combine that with the electro-mechanical blowback system and you’ve got a seriously satisfying shooting experience. Each trigger pull delivers a noticeable thump from the piston-driven blowback, adding just enough realism without getting in the way of performance.

The 510mm tightbore inner barrel (6.04mm) gives it the range and accuracy you'd expect from a long-format [electric rifle](https://bbgunsuk.co.uk/electric-rifles/), making this gun just as effective on the field as it is in your hands. It’s a bullpup, so you’re getting a full-length barrel in a much shorter overall footprint—ideal for urban skirmishes where space is tight, but you still want that long-range punch.

At the front end, you’ve got a 14mm CCW threaded barrel, giving you compatibility with suppressors, tracers, or whatever tactical flair you fancy adding. The removable front sight and standard rail system mean optics like the iconic SUSAT can be mounted with ease, letting you fully embrace the British Army look or tweak it to your own liking.

The magazine holds a solid 300 rounds, and thanks to the ETU and 11.1v support, you can burn through that mag with an impressive rate of fire. Whether you're laying down suppressive fire or picking off targets from cover, the L85 A1 keeps up without breaking a sweat. It’s more than just a showpiece—it’s a skirmish-ready performer.

If you've ever fancied running a true-to-life SA80 replica but were put off by reliability concerns, G&G has put those fears to bed. This is the most complete, fieldable L85 variant on the airsoft market—one that balances realism, build quality, and skirmish-ready internals in a way that few rifles manage. Definitely one for the collection, and an even better pick for your next loadout.
