Description

CYMA's Platinum range of Airsoft AEGs is setting a new standard for high performance and high-end features at a price point never before seen in the world of Airsoft. This arms race between companies means as the new AEGs are released the improve every time and the price continually falls, with Airsoft skirmishers take the spoils! You wont hear me complain!

The full Aluminium construction of the CM.097A lends itself well to keeping the replica lightweight whilst maintaining an admirable level of battle-worthy robustness. The only polymer parts on this replica are the pistol grip, adjustable sliding stock and certain internal components. The replica features a steel SF style 3-Prong flash hider attached to the 14mm CCW threads on the tip of the aluminium outer barrel.

A mock low-profile gas block and gas tube are concealed beneath a sleek aluminium M-LOK handguard, featuring built-in steel QD sling points, which are also present on the stock of the rifle. The handguard features M-LOK attachment points at the 3, 6 and 9 o'clock positions, keeping the weight down whilst delivering modularity. 

This attaches to the modern, angular VLT style upper receiver in a monolithic fashion, allowing the user to mount optics of any size at any position on the 12 o'clock 20mm Picatinny rail. When pulled, the mock charging handle exposes the ejection port and locks the mock bolt to the rear, allowing easy adjustment of the HOP without having to hold the charging handle back manually.

The mock bolt can be released using the bolt catch on the left side of the receiver, giving off the satisfying sound we all love. The only difference between the Cm.097A and the CM.097B model is the angle of the ergonomic pistol grip, with the 'A' variant offering a steeper grip angle more in line with modern shooting stances. The lower receiver has an extended mag release fence machined into the left side, leaving an opportunity for installation of an ambidextrous magazine release should you so choose. 

The fire selector markings are highlighted in white for safe and red for semi and full auto modes to ensure you know which modes are the dangerous ones! As we arrive at the rear of the rifle there is an ambidextrous buffer ring sling point, adding to the multiple sling mounting options present on the AEG, and a knurled buffer ring to assist removal of the 6-position buffer tube which provides access to the quick change spring system within the version 2 gearbox.

Inside this AEG is almost more impressive than its externals, which set the bar extremely high. The 6.03mm precision inner barrel, reinforced V2 gearbox with quick-change spring, Polycarbonate Piston with full steel teeth, CNC Machined Steel Gear Set (13:1), 8mm bearings, CNC Machined Aluminium Silent Cylinder and Piston Head, Bearing Spring Guide and High-Speed Motor are just a handful of the pre-upgraded features the CM.097A provides out of the box.  The MOSFET and Microswitch Trigger make for a rapid trigger response and rate of fire, whilst serving to protect your internals and battery with features such as low-voltage cutoff and active breaking to ensure the gearbox completes a full cycle every time the trigger is pulled.

If it's a pre-upgraded, modern, light weight AR15 AEG you seek, you have stumbled upon the perfect solution in the CM.097A Platinum edition. The replicas combination of modularity on the outside and inside, beautiful matt finish on its externals and its high-speed up-rated internals make it the perfect skirmish tool for the competitive Airsofter who is up to date on modern 'black rifle' trends.

Further Information

Special Instructions

Please note that this rifle has been updated by the manufacturer and now comes pre-fitted with a Deans style battery connector, as such an appropriate Deans battery or Deans adaptor will be required.

The externals of the replica are metal where they would be on the real world gun. This includes things like the outer barrel, handguard, and receiver. If a real-world gun has polymer parts then the gun will still be marked as full metal externals, examples of this would be an M4, where the Stock and Pistol grip is always made from Polymer.

Joule Charts

Special Instructions

These table can be used as a reference to see if the BB weight you are using will be over acceptable Joulage limits at some Airsoft Sites in the UK. To check if the weight can be used chrono your weapon using the BB you intend to use, and then compare it to the chart.

FPS, Power and Joule Limits can vary from site to site, so please get in touch with where you're going to play with in advance to avoid disappointment.

Suggested limits are based on Joulage Limit rules used Halo Mill: Proving Grounds, with a 350fps limit for Automatic Replicas, 400fps for Semi-Automatic Replicas, and 500fps for Bolt Action Replicas.

Tap the tabs below to open the relevant chart for your replica.

Suggested limits are based on Joulage Limit rules used Halo Mill: Proving Grounds, and is the equivalent of 350fps, using 0.20g BB resulting in an upper limit of 1.14j.
