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.

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 SD 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 SD! 320 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!

If you dream of a beastly DMR build but don't want the hassle of building one yourself, the Bolster Tuned EMG Daniel Defense M4A1 RIII™ DMR Upgraded AEG is your best option! Based on the already impressive EMG Daniel Defense M4A1 RIII™ 14.5" AEG but ram-packed full of upgrade parts and tuned to absolute perfection, the Bolster Tuned M4A1 RIII™ is locked to semi-automatic and hits out at an impressive 410 FPS with a 0.2g BB, ready for DMR duty!

On the outside, the EMG M4A1 RIII™ is practically the perfect DMR base gun, with enough length for the DMR look paired with a light and agile RIS III M-LOK handguard, ergonomic Daniel Defense Buttstock and gorgeous licenced Daniel Defense trademarks. As part of the Bolster Tuned upgrade process, the original pistol grip has been swapped out for the popular PTS Syndicate EPG pistol grip, offering the improved strength of Dupont Zytel polymer and a motor engagement angle more suitable for upgraded builds with high performance parameters.

Inside, you'll find a Gate ASTER™ MOSFET paired with the Gate QUANTUM™ CNC trigger, offering over 470 trigger sensitivity adjustment options along with the usual advanced ASTER features. The standard ball bearing bushings have been swapped out for Bolster Armouries EZO Bearings for a longer lifespan and an FPS Softair Carbon Fibre Reinforced Tappet Plate ensures reliable feeding and the strength to handle the high power main spring.

To get your BBs way out there and onto target, a Tru-Hop Gen.3 HOP-up bucking paired with a Maple Leaf OMEGA nub was installed, giving you impressive accuracy for a high first-round-hit probability. The Warhead 45K Base Brushless Motor and a Laylax EG 18:1 Hard Gear Set provides the durability, torque and heat dissipation qualities for peak efficiency, shocking trigger response and a long lifespan of reliable performance.

With a scary-fast trigger response, exceptional range and the ability to hit small targets out to 60 meters and beyond, this isn't just a high FPS platform locked to semi; each and every Bolster Tuned M4A1 RIII™ DMR is hand-assembled, tuned to perfection and put through rigorous testing on our 65m range. If it doesn't meet the Bolster standard, it doesn't leave the workbench until it does!

If you always wanted an MPX but you want it to shoot as good as it looks, this is the one to go for! The Bolster Tuned Sig Sauer MPX Upgraded AEG is based on the SigAir MPX but has all the creases ironed out, and is thoroughly upgraded on the inside with some of the best parts in the business.

Inside, you will find the phenomenal Gate TITAN MOSFET making its first appearance in a Bolster Tuned build, providing exceptional trigger response and rate of fire while adding a plethora of customisation options and eliminating the potential of trigger contact corrosion. The TITAN is paired with a Warhead 27K Base Brushless motor for guilt-free full auto mayhem thanks to its low heat build-up and exceptional reliability.

To make the most of the TITAN and Warhead combo, the team added Laylax EG 13:1 High-speed gears, further increasing rate of fire into the realms of the incredible. Laylax gears have a superb reputation amongst techs and were an essential replacement for the stock SigAir gearset. The Laylax Prometheus Purple HOP-up Rubber and Nub makes an appearance, as we might expect, and the usual Bolster Tuned internal polish and expert shimming process has also been carried out, with phenomenal results.

There is more going on with the Bolster Tuned MPX than we can list here (see the Full Description for more details), but check out our YouTube review to see this thing doing its good work. If you've been held back from buying an MPX because you have high standards when it comes to performance, this is the MPX for you!
