If you're looking for a compact and lightweight AR platform with stealthy styling, the Specna Arms SA-FH06 FLEX™ HAL¹ ETU™ M4/AR-15 AEG is a great choice. This AEG follows Specna's "FLEX" build standard, with full polymer externals, plus, an alloy flash hider and outer barrel. It's ideal for skirmishers who like to move fast and keep their energy high all day.

The latest SA-FH06 is rocking Specna's HAL¹ ETU, boasting programmable fire controls and several quality-of-life functions built-in, all for barely more money than the original. The HAL¹ allows you to select binary trigger, AUG mode and sniper delay instead of semi-auto and semi-auto lock, 3-round burst or 5-round burst instead of full auto. Also available are 5 levels of trigger sensitivity adjustment, 6 levels of adjustable pre-cocking, active braking and a low battery voltage alarm. Like the original, the HAL¹ equipped version also has a 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel, giving it above-average accuracy potential and a slight rise in FPS from the same strength spring. Impressive considering its low price point!

If you need an SMG but want to stand out from the crowd, the WE06 Standard Version from WELL PRO is one way to do it! This SMG replicates the latest in the line of Russian AK-derived submachine guns, known as the PPK-20 Compact and based on the well-known PP-19-01 Vityaz.

While the Advanced Version leads the pack, the Standard Version of WELL PRO's PPK-20 Compact has more than its fair share of internal goodness. A 6.02mm tightbore inner barrel provides additional accuracy to compensate for the short overall length, the 18:1 ratio steel gears run on 8mm slide bearings for a smoother gearbox sound and the system is powered by a mighty 20K RPM high-speed motor kept in check by a protective in-line MOSFET.

Boasting a mix of M-LOK negative space attachment slots, 20mm Picatinny rails, ambidextrous fire controls and an advanced side folding retractable stock, you would be forgiven for thinking this platform had Western origins as it is very rare indeed for a Russian platform to give some thought to ergonomics. Consider this the Ruskie UTR45; at the cutting edge of external design with internals and performance that will surprise you (and the enemy team)!

For a full metal GBB pistol, the R92F is remarkably affordable and also boasts a pre-installed 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel to provide the edge when it comes to accuracy. Whether you run a US Army loadout or you're into iconic, timeless pistol designs, the R92F is a perfect fit!
