Description
The AEG Recon 10.8" MK18 Mod 1 Viper Carbontech EVOLUTION AIRSOFT Replica, a lightweight, programmable MK18 for both CQB and outdoor use
The AEG Recon 10.8" MK18 Mod 1 Viper Carbontech EVOLUTION AIRSOFT replica is an AEG assault rifle from the Superlite Smart range, designed for players looking for a lightweight, modern replica that can be used straight away. Its Carbontech technopolymer body and handguard reduce weight without resorting to full-metal construction, while its VIPER / ETS IV VIPER programmable electronic trigger enables shooting behavior to be adapted without the need for an external application or connection. This configuration is ideal for beginners as well as regular players who want a durable, responsive platform that can be used both in CQB and outdoors.
Trigger-programmable VIPER electronics
The main attraction of this Recon 10.8" MK18 Mod 1 Viper Carbontech lies in its hybrid electronic architecture, combining optical and magnetic sensors. Programming is carried out directly via the trigger, simplifying adjustments in the field or before a match. The replica offers several proven firing modes: semi, full auto, 3-shot burst, 5-shot burst, binary trigger and sniper mode. Trigger reactivity, trigger travel, pre-cocking and active brake are also adjustable, enabling the replica's response to be fine-tuned according to playing style and game constraints.
Reinforced internal construction for regular use
Internal construction emphasizes mechanical reliability. The reinforced aluminum gearbox features steel gears, a CNC-machined steel cylinder, a reinforced piston and a flat, reinforced polymer tappet. The High Torque 22000 RPM motor, High Flow wiring and 6.01 internal barrel complete the technical base. The replica also features a rotary hop-up, quick change of the spring guide without removing the gearbox from the body, and tool-less motor access via the Tool-less Access / TAG System handle. These choices facilitate routine maintenance and technical adjustments without unnecessarily complicating operation.
Electronic protection and extended battery compatibility
VIPER electronics incorporate several useful protections to preserve the replica: low-voltage protection, high-voltage protection, gearbox disaster protection, ROF overspeed protection beyond 40 balls per second and stand-by mode. The Recon 10.8" MK18 Mod 1 Viper Carbontech is compatible with 11.1 V batteries, as well as LiPo, LiFe and Li-ion batteries, via a Deans T-plug connector. It is also compatible with brushless motors.
A complete package with Matrixx charger and useful accessories
The box provides a complete solution for getting started with the replica in the right conditions. It includes the replica, a customizable Matrixx Hi-Cap 320 bbs magazine, a bag of 2000 Evolution 0.25 g bbs and a manual in English, Italian, French and Spanish. Designed in Italy by Evolution Airsoft, this AEG combines a compact MK18 platform, a lightweight Carbontech casing and full programmable electronics for players who want a ready-to-use replica that's truly customizable.
