18 MOD1 Assault Rifle Replica (Elite Version)
E&L
Airsoft is
known for the manufacture of realistic and indestructible replicas made
from wood and steel. This time it presents something from the other side of the
iron curtain. Replicas of American AR15 rifles are characteristic for, as
expected of an E&L product, solid materials used, high quality of
craftsmanship and reliability. AR15 series will definitely help E&L find many
new fans on the airsoft market.
Elite version is
characteristic for its more reasonable price range whilst maintaining all key
features of the newest AR15 line by E&L. As such, we can find here all the
best aspects like the use of aerospace aluminium
6061 in the production process of all the most important parts, CNC
technology in the treatment process as well as the use of steel to cast
the most vulnerable elements.
The replica was
made entirely from metal, with the exception of elements such as the
stock and pistol grip, which were made from polymer as in the live
firearm original. The receiver, internal barrel and RIS hand guard were all
made from 6061 aluminium using CNC machines.
Steel parts also include front and rear sights, stock ring, mock bolt carrier, flash hider, shell ejection window flap
as well as all manipulators such as the trigger or fire mode selector. Parts of
the entire construction fit very well together and it gives a really solid
impression. One that the user will not have to worry about even during most
demanding of airsoft games.
The stick
battery is stored inside the stock slide. At the top of the receiver and the
hand guard is an array of RIS 22 mm mounting rails that enable the attachment
of additional accessories to the replica. Access to the Hop-Up adjustment
system is gained after pulling back the charging handle. Thanks to a new
type of a chamber with a comfortable knob, the user can set the Hop-Up in a
precise and lasting way. Small, but a noteworthy feature is the operational bolt-catch lever. The replica has a
new type of SF telescopic stock with a refreshed design.
AR15 replicas by E&L
are equipped with a specially designed, reinforced gearbox V2.It
features a Quick Spring Release system that allows for rapid change of the
main spring. It allows for quick adaptation of the replica’s power to the
needs of the user via main spring exchange without the need to take out and
open the gearbox and, as a result, the need to have access to a workshop or
special tools. All that is necessary is to loosen the stock slide ring, unscrew
the stock and remove the spring slide, which lasts literally several
seconds!
What components
exactly will we find inside ELITE E&L AR15?
- the new type,
reinforced gearbox frame is mounted on four 7 mm ball bearings and 2
slide bearings, adapted to the Quick Spring Release system
- bearing-mounted spring slide QSR (Quick Spring Release)
- set of steel gears
- brass cylinder made with the use of precise CNC machines
- self-oiling piston
- steel spring slide
The set
includes a steel, Mid-Cap magazine with a capacity of up to ~120 BBs.
The set
does not include a battery or a charger.
The set
includes:
- replica
- magazine
- manual
- flip-up iron sights for a RIS rail
- 2 x rubber protective panel for a RIS rail
NiCd
rechargeable battery is characterized by high efficiency
current-carrying capacity, but there are disruptive effect on memory.
Should be unloaded and loaded in the full cycle, ie, it is recommended
to fully discharge, and after unloading must charge the battery
immediately without leaving it for a long time in a discharged state.
NiMH batteries have a higher self-discharge over time and shorten the
life - on the other hand, they earn about 30% more capacity.
Blow back is a simulation system of the cocking lever - it imitates the work of it as the equivalent sharp. This system raises the realism and adds a lot more experience during shooting.
It is the spped of bb, while its leaving the innerbarrel of replica. This speed is measured in FPS (Feet Per Second).
1 FPS = 0,3 m/s
1 J = 99 m/s
1 J = 326,7 FPS
Indications v2, v3, v6 does not mean the level of advance, but only shape of gearbox skeleton which was used and selected by the manufacturer depending on the capabilities of the body of the replica. For example, a models of the M4/M16 family, MP5, have a v2 gearbox, while the AK family have gearbox v3.
Hop-Up system is used for overclocking bb during the shot (putting it in rotation), through which, it extends its flight path. Acting laws of physics make that bb lift up, while the gravitational force take it down. Appropriate adjustment of Hop-Up, will compensate for these two factors, which result in long and straight flight for longer distance and be greater focus shot (to improve accuracy).
