Bolster Tuned Airsoft Platforms

If you have plans to upgrade an SMG-5 to shoot like a laser beam, with the rate of fire of a minigun, why bother doing all the legwork and fine-tuning yourself? The Bolster Tuned CM.041 SMG-5 Upgraded AEG; Warhead Edition is the latest generation of the well-received Bolster Tuned CM.041 series, put together by the same team that built the ultra-high-end Bolster Armouries ONYX AEG series and benefits from all the experience and expertise gained from a lifetime of Airsoft tech work and several successful Bolster Tuned AEG drops.

This new generation of Tuned SMG-5 is rocking a Warhead 27K Brushless Motor, Bolster Armouries EZO bearings, Replacing the basic CYMA ETU, we have the space-aged Gate ASTER™ II ETU, offering a wealth of programming options and equipped with the latest EXPERT Firmware. The HOP-up has been modified with Bolster Armouries HOP-up screws for better air seal and setting retention and a Prometheus  purple hop rubber was added to extend the range out to 60 meters and beyond. An FPS Softair Carbon Fibre Reinforced Tappet Plate ensures reliable feeding with the powerful Warhead brushless motor and an SHS Hardened Steel D Type Pinion Gear was added to cope with the higher levels of torque and speed. Unlike other custom Airsoft gun services, Bolster Tuned platforms are all pre-built and ready to ship the next day with no lead time!

A lot of extra work was put in to refine the mass-produced CYMA gearbox and make it run like a Bolster. The inner surfaces of the gearbox have been polished for reduced friction and modified to house the ASTER™ II ETU. The angle of engagement has also been corrected, meaning 11.1V LiPo's are a go for the upgraded CM.041 so you can hose the enemy down with a torrent of BBs like a fireman hoses a blaze.

With upgrades added and work done, the price has increased, but by a far smaller margin than it would if you took a stock CM.041 to a technician and paid for this amount of work to be done. Finally, we can pick up and play with an exceptionally well-built AEG with all the fine-tuning necessary for exceptional performance already complete, and done with care, to an exacting standard.

When we tested the Warhead Edition we were absolutely stunned; it's even faster than the original Tuned CM.041! 330 FPS on the dot with remarkable consistency, 60m+ effective range and an absolutely scary rate of fire of 27 rounds per second; more than enough to outshoot anything else you can buy off the shelf!

The sneaky counterpart to the Bolster Tuned CM.041 upgraded SMG-5 AEGs has returned and it's better than ever! Enter the CM.041 SD5 SMG-5 Upgraded Edition; a full metal SMG-5 SD5 replica built by the same team behind the ultra-high-end Bolster Armouries AEG series and previous Bolster Tuned AEGs.

As with its less discrete brethren, the first thing the Bolster Armouries team do with the CM.041 SD is to tear it to pieces and build it back up to fulfil its true potential. This new generation of Tuned SMG-5 is rocking a Warhead 27K Brushless Motor, Bolster Armouries EZO bearings, and a Bolster Armouries AOE Correction Washer along with complimentary parts to keep it running reliably long term. Replacing the basic CYMA ETU, we have the space-aged Gate ASTER™ ETU, offering a wealth of programming options and equipped with the latest EXPERT Firmware.

The HOP-up has been modified with Bolster Armouries HOP-up screws for better air seal and setting retention and a 4UANTUM Friction Pro High-Performance Hop Up Bucking was added to extend the range out to 60 meters and beyond. An FPS Softair Carbon Fibre Reinforced Tappet Plate ensures reliable feeding with the powerful Warhead brushless motor and an SHS Hardened Steel D Type Pinion Gear was added to cope with the higher levels of torque and speed. Unlike other custom Airsoft gun services, Bolster Tuned platforms are all pre-built and ready to ship the next day with no lead time!

A lot of work was put in to refine the mass-produced CYMA gearbox and make it run like a Bolster. The inner surfaces of the gearbox have been polished for reduced friction and modified to house the ASTER™ ETU. The cylinder windows have been radiused to increase the strength of the shell to withstand the force of repeated piston impacts, and the bearing holes in the gearbox shell have been smoothed out. The angle of engagement has also been corrected, meaning 11.1V LiPo's are a go for the Bolster Tuned CM.041 SD5 so you can hose the enemy down with a torrent of BBs like a fireman hoses a blaze.

Based on the CYMA CM.058 Bizon, this rare Russian SMG replica is a sight to behold with its distinctive cylindrical magazine, side-folding skeleton stock and menacing trumpet flash hider, but inside, things get even better!

Like the more conventional Bolster Tuned CM.113 AKS-74U, the Bizon is rocking a Warhead 27K Brushless Motor, Bolster Armouries EZO bearings to keep it running reliably long term. Replacing the copper trigger contacts, we have the space-aged Gate ASTER II™ ETU, the ASTER II boasts several quality of life improvements, more customisation options than ever before and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity built-in, allowing you to change settings wirelessly on your smartphone or mobile device.

The HOP-up has been enhanced with a Delta Armory BERSERKER Flat Hop-Up Bucking to extend the range out to 60 meters and beyond with astonishing accuracy. To give it the insane rare of fire Bolster Tuned AEGs are known for, the team fitted CYMA Platinum 13:1 CNC High-speed gears, and the result is an incredible 27 rounds per second. A Guarder Reinforced Tappet Plate ensures reliable feeding with the powerful Warhead brushless motor and the sub-par stock piston head O-ring has been replaced with the Bolster Armouries Enhanced Piston Head O-Ring to enhance air-seal qualities for minimal FPS deviation between shots.
