ARES/EMG Helios EV01 Bolt Action Airsoft Sniper Rifle in Army Green

ARES/EMG Helios EV01 Bolt Action Airsoft Sniper Rifle in Army Green

Looking for a sniper rifle that merges classic military styling with the flexibility of modern engineering? The ARES/EMG Helios EV01 in Army Green is your answer. Built on the robust ARES STRIKER platform, this bolt-action airsoft rifle pays homage to the classic M40 layout while delivering all the modern perks snipers need on the field. It’s the kind of rifle that feels instantly familiar—but packed with upgrades where they count.

At the heart of the EV01 is the Compact Power Bolt—a short-stroke bolt system that shaves down bolt-pull length while keeping the power high. That translates into faster follow-up shots and cleaner cycling under pressure. Once you’ve pulled this bolt a few times, going back to older designs feels like cranking a tractor engine in comparison.

The construction hits a solid middle ground between durability and carry comfort. The polymer chassis helps keep overall weight just shy of 2.6kg, while the receiver, fluted barrel, and bolt are full metal. This gives the rifle excellent balance and a solid, realistic feel without dragging you down over long matches or patrols.

Controls are user-focused across the board. The ambidextrous magazine release makes reloads easy regardless of your dominant hand. There’s also a loaded-chamber indicator so you always know if you're hot, and the trigger-guard safety is positioned perfectly for intuitive access. It’s these thoughtful details that make the EV01 stand out—it’s designed with actual players in mind, not just for looks.

Tool access is handled brilliantly: a set of hex keys and adjustment tools are tucked away neatly in the pistol grip. Need to tweak the hop-up mid-game or swap springs between games? No digging through your gear bag—it’s all right there. Speaking of upgrades, it’s compatible with AEG springs and features a quick-disconnect power tuning setup, so you can stay legal at any site without compromise.

On top, the 20mm Picatinny rail gives you instant optics compatibility—mount a scope or red dot and dial in your target solution. The fluted barrel isn’t just for show either; it keeps the front end lighter and helps manage overall handling. Plus, with a Harris-style bipod mount ready to go, setting up for stable shots is just a quick clip away.

The included 55-round direct-feed magazine is generous for a bolt gun, meaning you’ll spend more time aiming and less time reloading. And with an estimated 415–420 fps using 0.20g BBs out of the box, it’s ready to punch out long shots with consistency and bite. Whether you're getting into sniping for the first time or want a reliable, stylish platform to build into a full-blown DMR, the EV01 in OD Green is a smart, sharp-looking pick.
