Quick Start Guide

  • Charge your Battery: Plug your charger into a 3-Plug UK wall socket and connect the balance connector (a small white connector) on your battery to the corresponding port on the Evolution USB charger. Your charger will cut off when your battery reaches capacity, but you should never leave it on charge unattended. We recommend using a Battery Safe Charging Bag for charging and storing your battery.
  • Load your magazine: Open the feed hatch on the top of your High-cap magazine. Pour BBs in until full.
  • Wind your magazine: Wind the wheel on the bottom of your magazine 5-10 times or until the noise changes and the wheel becomes firm.
  • Put on your Eye Protection: Safety when using Airsoft guns should be your number 1 priority. Always wear eye protection before loading your AEG and ensure any spectators are also protected.
  • Connect your battery: Remove the butt plate from your stock by pressing the tabs on either side at the "toe" of the stock, pushing the tabs through to the rear, then lifting it free. Inside the central tube, you'll find the Mini-Tamiya connector. Position your battery inside the central tube, then connect the Mini-Tamiya connectors. With your wiring neatly tucked in, replace the butt plate.
  • Insert your magazine: With the fire selector switch set to "SAFE" and the barrel pointed in a safe direction with your finger off the trigger, insert your magazine by pushing it up into the magazine well.
  • You're now ready to shoot! - Never shoot at animals, or humans who aren't in an Airsoft skirmish

FAQ

Q: What Ammo/BBs do I need?

A: You'll need 6mm plastic Airsoft BBs between 0.20g and 0.28g in weight. This bundle includes 2000 x 0.25g BBs, which should last most of a day of outdoor play or several short CQB sessions. Never attempt to shoot any form of metal ammo or "paint" ammo, as these are not designed for Airsoft AEGs and will cause internal damage.

Q: What battery do I need?

A: This Beginner Bundle includes the correct 7.4V 2000mAh Li-Ion battery and a USB Balance Charger for the Muzzle Flash Blaster AEG. Evolution includes a Li-Ion battery to provide more shots before recharging and a more robust alternative to LiPo batteries. The Muzzle Flash Unit has an internal rechargeable battery which can be charged using a USB Type-C Cable (included).

Q: How old do I need to be to buy and use an Airsoft gun?

A: Airsoft guns can be legally purchased by anyone over 18, but can be used by anyone of any age. We recommend adult supervision for users under 14 years old, at the parents' discretion. Most skirmish sites have a minimum age of 14 or over for attendees, some of which require under-18s to attend with an adult.

Q: Can I buy this for someone else?

A: Yes, provided you are over 18 and either have a Specific Defence under the VCRA, or choose a "Two-tone" colour variant.

Q: Do I need a UKARA or a License?

A: Not necessarily. You’ll need a UKARA membership or other valid defence under the VCRA to buy realistic colours (Black, Tan, etc.). Two-tone options can be purchased without UKARA. There’s no license required to own or buy Airsoft guns.

Q: Does it hurt to get shot with this?

A: It can sting, similar to a rubber band snap on bare skin, but less than a paintball. The sensation depends on distance, clothing, and protective gear. Airsoft guns produce muzzle energy around 1/14th of the average Paintball Marker, so hits hurt far less than hits from paintballs.

Q: Is an Airsoft gun dangerous?

A: Only if misused. Airsoft guns must never be brandished in public or in an area visible from public land. When transporting an Airsoft gun, ensure it is unloaded and concealed in a gun bag or case. When shooting, both the shooter and any spectators must use eye protection. It is also important that you don't shoot at targets beyond your property boundary.

Joule Charts

Special Instructions
