Airsoft Extreme gives us a look at the Apex R-Series of AEGs which they are now taking pre-orders... "The R-Series is the next evolution in Apex’s mission to bring you a feature packed AEG at a surprisingly good price. The R-Series is centered on a new aggressive receiver design, one that instantly differentiates the Apex brand from the multitudes of M4 clones on the market. The R-series receiver combines practical function with updated combat rifle styling. All controls are fully ambidextrous.
Internally, the R-Series uses the same gearbox as the Mark 13 series, but with the electric blowback function removed to better battery performance and piston lifespan. A 6.03mm tightbore barrel and metal rotary hop up unit comes standard. Every carbine length R-Series shoots approximately 400 fps, and every CQB length R-Series shoots approximately 360 fps.
The Apex R-Series builds on its tradition of being Always Predator, Never Prey."
