Here are some 50 yard groups from both guns. 2 groups a piece.
Accuracy wise, they are a dead tie.

The Rapid feels just as solid when fired compared to the Airwolf. Which does not posses a hammer or spring. But the Airwolfs bolt is a bit easier to cock.

I like both triggers, and give it a pretty much 50/50 tie. But there is one slight difference though. IMO the Rapids trigger is a little bit more predictable compared to the Airwolfs electronic one.

A disadvantage with these electronics is tune ability. With the Rapid, I can tune the power of my gun to any exact FPS number I want to.

One thing is foresure though. Its too bad that the Airwolf did not shoot this well "out of the box" . Having to have Steve's shroud for it to perform like it does. I hope Daystate will improve on their shrouds in the near future.

Nonetheless the electronic concept is really cool though. And makes the Airwolf very fun to shoot. I think anyone that owns a Rapid defitnetly needs to buy an Airwolf. And Airwolf owners need to buy a Rapid as well. Your missing out big time if you just have one!

I did not weigh these guns on a scale. But when handled, both of these guns feel and weigh about the same.

Thanks....

Very good review SP BTW is the trigger adjustable on the AW?........ sounds like they both are very close, and you couldn't go wrong with either gun. Well as long as you got the PAG Shroud that is. Yes

WOW! A DEAD tie at 50yds... crazy! I love it. Nice shooting by the way...
But you CAN tune the wolf with the electronics. You should have 15 options/steps to fine tune the power of the wolf. Of course, you can only go down from the max... Want to go up, you'll have to ditch the 17" airwolf barrel and throw a 21" barrel on there like the rapid has.... I bet that would get you your 930fps with the Kodiaks...
I guess I can understand how somebody would like a mechanical trigger better than the electronic. I do like my steyr trigger better than the daystates, but after the highest-end match triggers, the daystate trigger is outstanding in my book. Maybe you need more time with it? Laughing

If I could get the bolt on the left, I would buy another rapid. Could do that new 'e-type' or whatever they call it, but I like lots of shots per fill. A rapid sounds especially good now that I've seen those aftermarket synthetic stocks... Somebody said you posted some info about those tactical looking stocks? Happen to have a link to your old post or anything?

Thanks for a great post and pics!
