Description

The MK18 is another Gun that has an almost-cult following, due to it being a current issue for Special Forces, and also due to the beautiful 20mm Rail System. This replica features a fully licensed Daniel Defense MK18 Rail System with numbered Rail Slots and all the appropriate markings, which, for the price, makes this an exceptional offering. This replica being part of the EDGE Series also gives it the benefit of a MOSFET, incredible external build quality with Nanocoating, as well as a Unique Serial Number.

The MK18 SA-E19 EDGE is constructed to a fantastic standard, as Specna Arms usually do for their higher end models, and features Zinc Aluminium for the Outer Barrel Assembly, Receiver and Buffer Tube, with Nylon Fibre Reinforced Polymer being used for the Pistol Grip and Stock. Various trim components of the Rifle (such as Screws and the Sling Plate) are made from Steel. The Receiver features a Nano Coating finish to prevent scratches and keep the body in good nick. The Receiver also has a Unique Serial Number which is great for identifying/proving ownership of your Replica.

The Outer Barrel features a Birdcage type Flash Hider which can be unscrewed to reveal a 14mm CCW Thread for Suppressors, Tracer Units and other Muzzle Devices. The 20mm Rail System is Daniel Defense licensed as mentioned, and features Numbered Rail Slots as well as all the markings that should be on the real thing. The Receiver also has a 20mm Rail which comes with a set of Flip-Up Ironsights installed out of the box. The Receiver features Daniel Defense trademarks, as well as typical AR Platform Fire Controls, such as a Safe/Semi/Auto Fire Selector. The rear of the Receiver features an Ambidextrous Sling Plate, which allows a Sling to be connected from either side of the Gun, making it comfortable for Left and Right Handed users. The Adjustable Stock will move to one of Six Positions, to suit all shapes and sizes of user, and is also where your Battery should be installed. Simply squeeze the tabs at the rear of the Stock to remove the Rubber Butt Pad, and access the Deans connector inside. A Deans to Mini Tamiya Converter Lead is included in the box, if you wish to use the traditional Mini Tamiya Connector. We recommend a 7.4v 1450mAh LiPo for this AEG for the best combination of performance and ease of installation. 


The GATE ASTER

ASTER V2 is a younger brother of well-known TITAN V2. This world's first 4th generation AEG Control System is destined for most of AEGs with gearbox V2 on the market (including stock, low- and mid-tuned) and even for high-tuned guns (in case of EXPERT firmware). It was designed to achieve maximum reliability at attractive price and hence it has extremely profitable price-performance ratio.

Transform your AEG by replacing trigger contacts with computerized controller equipped with innovative optical sensors, including proximity trigger sensor which offers even 250 sensitivity settings. Gain unique tactical advantage thanks to extremely fast trigger response and lots of other useful functions. ASTER's smart fuse protects your AEG’s battery, motor and the controller, even in case of reverse battery connection. This feature, along with the optical sensors, makes ASTER the most durable drop-in unit on the market. You choose how to configure ASTER – simply via trigger or through USB-Link / Blu-Link* and our advanced GCS App. To enjoy full potential of ASTER, you can upgrade its firmware to ADVANCED or EXPERT.


  • Protection against battery reverse polarity
  • Proximity trigger sensor which offers 250 possible sensitivity settings!
  • Option to configure its main settings simply via trigger or completely through GATE Control Station App for AndroidWindows and macOS (also for iOS in 2020, after Bluetooth® dongle release)
  • Built-in RGB led makes programming easier
  • Removing of safety lever is not required
  • No modification of gearbox shell needed, even in case of KRYTAC* and ICS (*when bolt catch lever is removed. This applies to ASTER Rev 1. Next ASTER revisions will be fully compatible with KRYTAC gearbox)
  • Optical gear cam sensor supports all types of gears: Infinite Torque-up, DSG, SSG, 19-tooth and standard
  • Binary trigger function as basic function
  • Premium level functionality at fair price – extremely profitable price-performance ratio

Internally the Gun features a Rotary HOP Unit, which can be accessed by pulling back on the Charging Handle. This allows you to apply backspin to your BBs and theoretically improve range and consistency, when paired with the right BB weight and HOP settings. The other major feature of this RIF is the ESA™ Quick Change Spring System, which allows you to rapidly change the Main Spring of the Gun without having to disassemble the Gearbox. This is a massive advantage to those who play at multiple sites with different power limits, or those who want the option of quickly changing over to DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle) rules. Simply remove the Stock and Buffer Tube to gain access to the Spring Guide. The 'ORION Gearbox' featured inside has a reinforced frame to handle high power springs and is designed around their quick change spring system. Other perks of the ORION Gearbox are: 6.03mm Inner Barrel, Steel Gear Set, Full Steel Rack Piston, Aluminium Sealed Nozzle, Aluminium Double Sealed Cylinder, Aluminium Double Sealed Piston head w/ Bearings, 8mm Bearings and a Spring Guide mounted on Bearings.

Included in the box are two 125rnd Mid Cap Magazines, the Gun itself, a User Manual, 20mm Foregrip and Deans to Mini Tamiya Converter Lead. If you're looking at building a Special Forces loadout, or you want a solid replica built to a stunning standard, brimming with internal goodies, then the Specna Arms Daniel Defense MK18 SA-E19 EDGE is perfect for the task.

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.
