Ares Octarms X M4 KM9

Overview

Ares is a relatively young company in the airsoft field, but it offers high-quality products and services at an advantageous price. The platforms manufactured by ARES successfully replicate a wide range of real firearms. The most sought-after platform of our century remains the M4. This platform has been thought, rethought, twisted, and turned by all airsoft replica manufacturers in an attempt to achieve maximum performance from its design. Octarms  is a branch of the ARES manufacturer that successfully implements cutting-edge technology provided by Ares into the operation of airsoft replicas.

Exterior of the Replica

This replica is the Octarms X KM9 model. The most interesting aspect of this series is that they have transitioned from the plastic body found in the Amoeba series to an aluminum alloy body. Evidently, costs have increased slightly, but in the opinion of many players, it is justified. The body design resembles the Vltor series, and the front rail system, of the keymod type, has been redesigned to be lighter and provide better stability. The grip and stock of the replica are made from plastic materials. The stock features a new, at least interesting design. Above the grip, there is a mounting system for a sling. The replica is equipped with a classic, adjustable sighting system that can be folded when not in use.

Interior of the Replica

The replica's gearbox resembles version 2, but the similarity ends there. The entire gearbox is managed by an electronic unit. This electronic unit ensures the proper functioning of the replica. It is equipped with Mosfet, Active breaking, Soft start, and primarily, it can be set to operate in one of the semi, burst, or auto modes on the fire selector positions. This modification can only be performed with a special device that is not included in the package. The gears are made of steel, and the piston is reinforced. The main mechanical components are standard; gears, piston, cylinder, motor, and others. Thus, upgrades can be made if necessary or desired. The replica's motor is a high torque one, capable of tensioning quite strong springs. Due to the electronic control system, the trigger response is very good.

Power Supply

The package does not include a battery and battery charger. Upon purchasing the replica, we recommend that you look for a suitable battery and charger. The replica can operate with 8.4-9.6V NiMh or 7.4-11.1V LiPo. We recommend using high-quality BBs and not reusing BBs as it may damage the replica.
