Description
The Replica AEG MK18 Mod 1 Viper Recon 3.0 EVOLUTION AIRSOFT, a programmable full metal MK18 designed for CQB and outdoor use
The AEG MK18 Mod 1 Viper Recon 3.0 EVOLUTION AIRSOFT is a MK18 Mod. 1 long airsoft replica for players looking for a compact, rugged and configurable AEG platform. With its full-metal body, CNC-machined aluminum rail and programmable VIPER Electronic Trigger™, it is equally suited to CQB and outdoor players. Its main appeal lies in the combination of reinforced construction, advanced electronics and ergonomics designed to quickly adapt the replica to the style of play.
Reinforced full-metal construction for intensive use
This MK18 Evolution Airsoft is built on a reliable mechanical base. The full-metal body is accompanied by a CNC-machined aluminum rail with Duralite™ finish, a one-piece CNC-machined outer barrel and an aluminum stock tube. The whole package results in a replica weighing 2590 g, with an adjustable length from 775 mm to 960 mm thanks to the Crane adjustable Cargo Stock™ Evolution.
The internal part follows the same logic of durability. The reinforced aluminum gearbox incorporates 8 mm bearings, a CNC-machined steel cylinder, a steel gear set, a reinforced polymer flat tappet and a spring guide with forged steel core and bearing. These features confirm the Viper Recon 3.0's positioning as a replica designed to withstand advanced tuning and regular use in the field.
VIPER electronic trigger programmable directly at the trigger
The technical heart of this AEG Replica MK18 Mod 1 Viper Recon 3.0 is its VIPER Electronic Trigger™. Its programming is carried out without application or external connection, directly by the trigger. The hybrid electronic architecture combines optical and magnetic sensors to finely manage firing functions and integrated safeties.
The replica features safe, semi and full auto modes, as well as 3- or 5-bbs bursts, binary trigger, sniper mode, adjustable trigger reactivity, adjustable trigger travel, adjustable pre-cocking and adjustable active brake. Low-voltage, high-voltage, gearbox disaster and ROF overspeed protection beyond 40 bbs per second help to secure electronic and mechanical operation. A stand-by mode completes the package, limiting system load when the replica is not in use.
An adaptable platform for CQB, outdoor and accessory configurations
Viper Recon 3.0 retains all the practical features of a modern MK18. Its 4 Picatinny rails at the top, bottom and sides make it easy to install compatible accessories, while integrated flip-up sights keep a mechanical sighting solution readily available. The 14 mm CCW male thread paves the way for the addition of accessories adapted to this standard.
Ergonomics have also been designed to simplify use in the field. The TAG system allows tool-free access to the motor, the quick spring change facilitates power adaptation according to game constraints, and the rotary hop-up allows adjustment of ball behavior. The Cargo Stock™ Evolution incorporates a battery compartment in the stock tube, an anti-pinch cable system, an ambidextrous QD strap attachment point on the rear and an ambidextrous CQD strap attachment on the stock tube.
Electrical compatibility and charger included

The AEG MK18 Mod 1 Viper Recon 3.0 EVOLUTION AIRSOFT replica is supplied with a customizable Matrixx™ Mid-Cap 140-bbs magazine. It is available in Black and Burnt-Bronze (BB) variants, allowing you to choose a finish to suit your desired equipment or style, without changing the replica's common technical base.
