Well PRO AK BLOWBACK HPA (WE09-02 HPA – 1.1j – Semi/Fully Only)

Description

Well PRO AK Blowback HPA (WE09-02 HPA – 1.1J – Semi / Full Auto)

This is the Well PRO AK blowback rifle in its HPA version, model WE09-02 HPA, listed at 1.1J with semi and full auto fire. Well PRO’s WE09 platform is its modernised AK-12 style rifle, and this version is designed to run on high pressure air (HPA) rather than gas from the magazine, while still giving a blowback action.

HPA is popular with players who want consistent performance in every season. Because the air supply comes from a regulated tank rather than gas in the magazine, an HPA rifle is not affected by cold weather in the way a gas blowback rifle is, and it can be tuned for very consistent shots. Combined with the modern AK-12 look, this makes the WE09-02 HPA a distinctive choice for milsim and skirmish players.

How HPA works

An HPA replica is connected by an air line to a tank of compressed air worn on your kit, with a regulator that reduces the tank’s pressure to the level the replica is set up for. Each shot uses air from the line, so the replica performs the same whether it is hot or cold.

You will need a suitable HPA tank, regulator and line, and access to a fill station or compressor. Please check the manual for the operating pressure and fittings before connecting any air supply, and ask us if you need help choosing a set-up.

The WE09 platform

Retailer listings for the gas version of the WE09 describe a modernised AK-12 style rifle with a side-folding, multi-position stock and Picatinny rails for optics and accessories. The HPA version may differ in detail, so please check the product images for its exact configuration.

The listed 1.1J power level and semi and full auto fire make the rifle suitable for a wide range of games. Have it chronographed at your site before play, and check your site’s rules on HPA replicas.

Getting started

Read the manual fully before use. Connect your regulated HPA supply as the manual describes, starting at the recommended pressure, load the magazine and fire a few shots at a safe backstop with the hop-up off, then add hop gradually until the BBs fly flat.

Always disconnect the air line and empty the replica before storage or maintenance.

Care and maintenance

Disconnect the air supply before any maintenance or storage, and check the air line, fittings and O-rings regularly for wear or leaks. Never exceed the operating pressure in the manual.

Keep the inner barrel clean with a rod and patch, wipe the moving parts with a thin film of silicone oil now and then, and store the rifle dry. Have HPA tanks inspected and tested as their markings require.
