Airsoft rifle M4 VLTOR SAI 16,5” ADVANCED III, Kestrel ECU, 2 magazines
The M4 Carbine is a 5.56×45mm NATO, air-cooled, gas-operated, direct impingement, magazine-fed, select fire carbine. The M4 is extensively used by the United States Armed Forces and is largely replacing the M16 rifle in United States Army and United States Marine Corps (USMC) combat units as the primary infantry weapon and service rifle. The M4 has semi-automatic and three-round burst firing modes (like the M16A2 and M16A4), while the M4A1 has semi-automatic and fully automatic firing modes (like the M16A1 and M16A3).
The Advanced III series is a continuation of the popular E&C Advanced series. It uses proven and time-tested parts and further enhances the quality and performance of these airsoft guns.
Weapons Advanced III are ready for reliable and trouble-free operation straight out of the box, with a muzzle velocity of up to 140 m/s. The new feature is the Kestrel processor unit and two mid-cap magazines included in the package.
APPEARANCE
The gun is mostly metal - the upper/lower receiver, sights, stock tube, outer barrel with barrel extension and flash hider and forearm. There are RIS rails on the KeyMod forearm and upper body to accommodate accessories such as scope, red-dot, flashlight, laser, etc. The sling attachment is handled by a steel eyelet between the receiver and the stock tube.
The pistol grip and the retractable 5-position stock, which serves as battery storage, are made of high quality polymer. The stock has a roughened grip for a better and more secure grip, the buttstock is rubber. The receiver and forearm are black anodized for good corrosion protection and abrasion resistance.
Pulling the ambidextrous charging lever accesses the rotating ring of the hop-up chamber (ProWin style). The imitation bolt is locked, making hop-up adjustment very comfortable. The bolt catch is functional, and like the real steel gun, is located on the left side of the body. There is also a classic selector lever on this side. The magazine catch is single-sided, on the right side of the body. The type of weapon and the unique serial number are stamped on the trigger guard.
KESTREL ECU
The gun is equipped with a Kestrel V2 Basic programmable processor unit that protects the gearbox and battery from damage (over-discharge or over-voltage/short circuit), allows for 5 levels of pre-cocking adjustment and selector lever behavior (SEMI / Binary / FULL AUTO / 3-shot burst), also has an active brake function and supports the use of powerful brushless or super torque motors.
Settings are simply made using the selector lever and trigger.

PERFORMANCE
This Advanced Series gun is designed directly from AirsoftPro and manufactured by the E&C factory to deliver superior performance of 140 m/s (1.9 J / 0.20 g) without the need for complex tuning or upgrades.
Out of the box, the gun has a muzzle velocity of 130 m/s. But once you replace the spring (thanks to the gearbox with quick-change spring simply through the stock tube) with the M130 included in the package, you immediately get a gun with a great muzzle velocity of 140 m/s without having to upgrade the gearbox. The internal parts of the gun are designed to handle this configuration long term and without problems. The gun is superbly balanced and built - making even the M130 dpting capable of such performance. In testing the gun, we measured an average of 137 m/s.
Suitable ammunition are BBs weighing 0.30 - 0.32 g.
QUALITY AND RELIABILITY
E&C guns are generally known for their quality and reliability. The failure rate is less than 1.5% - that's several times lower than average and you get a reliable gun for your money.
Li-Po 11,1 V READY
The gun has a Dean-T connector on the low-resistance cables and is ready to use 11.1V Li-Po batteries. As usual with branded guns, neither the charger nor the battery are included. Compatible batteries, chargers, or spare magazines can be found in the Related products section below.
2 MAGAZINES IN THE PACKAGE
Included are 2 mid-cap magazines for 160 BBs. This further increases the value of the Advanced III series weapons and improves the reliability of the weapon. Spare magazines are recommended to choose the same brand, i.e. E&C, however the gun is also compatible with CYMA, TopArms, etc.
