Lancer Tactical has released the new and highly awaited Multi-Mission Carbine family, which includes 2 colors, black & a black/tan two-tone. There are 2 barrel lengths available, 14.5" and 10.5", giving us 4 variants to choose from! These guns are extremely high-quality, affordable Automatic Electric Guns (AEGs). They are made in Taiwan for Lancer Tactical by Lonex. This means that the gun has EXTREMELY reliable internal components, as Lonex is well known for producing extremely high-quality aftermarket internal upgrade parts. The gun comes equipped with a complete Lonex gearbox and internal parts. The reinforced Version 2 gearbox shell is well constructed and has 8mm bearings, which reduce resistance, improve the rate of fire, and reduce strain on the motor and battery. This will allow high velocity with a nice rate of fire, all while reducing the Amperage draw on the battery, which improves battery life.
The gun's receiver and body components are as nice as the V2 gearbox. It is constructed of an extremely durable Nylon polymer and feels extremely resistant to cracking from the flex of the receiver. The gun is also lightweight and has a very solid feeling in the hand. Being lightweight is okay when you have to lug it around for some 24-hour+ milsim games or even smaller and younger players.
The rail system has removable rails on the sides, allowing you to place the rails in whatever position your accessories require. Or, if you wish to run the rail sterile, you can reduce the weight and diameter of the handguard (RIS) even further by removing them completely.
The gun's receiver is a nice upper and lower. It features finger groves on the magazine well and an oversized trigger guard. The trigger guard is something I like, as it is often overlooked, especially in the bitter Colorado winters when you need burly gloves for playing on single-digit days. The receiver resembles a CNC billet lower with pictogram fire selector markings, and the upper is equally cool-looking.
The gun's average FPS for the 14.5" was approximately 418FPS +/- 2fps with .20g BBs, which is extremely consistent and very powerful. I am confident the gun will start to settle after we put some rounds through it and break it in. Also, once the hop-up is dialed in, the gun should shoot almost a perfect 400FPS w/ .20g BB. The rate of fire was an impressive 18 rounds per second (RPS), giving a total rate of fire (ROF) that was just shy of 1100 rounds per minute (RPM). I suspect the gun's extremely high performance out of the box is directly attributed to the brass 6.03mm tight bore barrel and precision rotary hop-up unit. The only thing I would consider upgrading in the future on this gun would be the motor, and I would install a Fox Custom Long Shaft High Speed Motor.
The polymer backup iron sights are a welcomed addition to the already awesome value-packed gun. Some manufacturers choose not to include any sights at all to reduce the overall cost of their gun. While this does lower the initial cost, there is no way to effectively and consistently aim the weapon system. This leaves you only one option: to purchase some sort of optic, which adds additional costs ranging from $20 to $100. So yes, the backup iron sights add a phenomenal value to the gun. I also decided to use the NcStar Laser & Illuminator.
Also included is a rear single-point sling mount, ergonomic grip, and a snazzy polymer fast magazine. The metal single-point sling mount would make an excellent platform for Lancer Tactical's single-point bungee sling. And the mount itself is a $15 value alone.
All in all, I recommend this gun to anyone, all players, new or experienced. The guns' value and performance are unmatched, so I expect them to sell out quickly in the United States and be on backorder shortly. Lancer Tactical has outdone itself with this release, and I look forward to seeing what else they release.
