Ares M45X-S Class AEG Rifle with EFCS Gearbox in Dark Earth (AR-086E)

The Ares M45X-S Class AEG Rifle (AR-086E) is an airsoft rifle that merges tactical precision with a sleek, compact build—perfect for players who prioritize mobility, control, and cutting-edge internals. Built with durability and versatility in mind, the M45X-S makes a bold statement in the Ares M45 series lineup with its EFCS gearbox and aggressive design elements.

Crafted with a high-quality polymer upper and lower receiver, this rifle keeps things lightweight while maintaining battlefield ruggedness. Details like engraved markings, selector switch indicators, and serial numbers add realism to the design. The lower receiver features "FG HKMFG.TW N.T. T1 MULTI-CALIBER" engravings, giving it that authentic firearm replica aesthetic. The alloy handguard houses a 20mm rail system, allowing you to mount tactical accessories like grips, lights, or lasers for a customized setup.

Internally, the rifle is powered by ARES’ EFCS (Electronic Firing Control System) gearbox—an industry favourite for programmable fire modes and consistent shot performance. This full metal gearbox enhances both reliability and firing responsiveness. With an adjustable hop-up and a solid 300 FPS using 0.20g BBs, the M45X-S Class rifle ensures optimal accuracy and field-ready performance out of the box.

This compact AEG features a polymer flip-up iron sight system and a polymer trigger guard for comfortable finger placement. The dummy bolt release and alloy charging handle elevate realism while maintaining solid tactile functionality. Other alloy components include the magazine release, selector switch, and trigger, all contributing to a durable external build.

The stock on the M45X-S is a retractable unit with a built-in arm stabilizing brace, designed for comfort and control even in high-speed CQB encounters. At a total length of 575mm (collapsed to 485mm), it’s a highly maneuverable platform ideal for tight spaces. The package also includes two magazines—a 60-round short mag and a 120-round long mag—covering both stealth and extended skirmishing roles.

Powering this airsoft gun is a 9.6V battery (not included), connected via a mini type plug. Designed for 6mm BBs, this rifle performs best with 0.20g pellets for consistent accuracy. Whether you’re stepping up your CQB game or need a primary rifle with a smaller footprint, the M45X-S delivers ARES' renowned engineering in a compact, skirmish-ready package.
