IWI Tavor
CTAR FTU Carbine Replica
The replica was made of polymer. The internal barrel and small mounting
elements were made of metal. The Hi-Cap magazine can hold up to 300 BBs and it
is compatible with M4 / M16 replicas. Thanks to the license from IWI, the
replica bears full markings of the live firearm original. The battery is stored
inside the handguard, that can hold a battery with dimensions of up to 130 x 35
x 20 mm. The replica is equipped with a Tamiya small connector type.
The top of the replica features a RIS rail
that enables the attachment of an optical sight. The top rail is integrated
with flip-up iron sights. FTU version features an integrated MOSFET and FCU
system compatible with FCU ARES controller.
The gearbox
features a quick spring change system.
The set includes:
- replica
- magazine
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).
