Ares Amoeba AM-009 EFCS Tan

Overview

Ares is a relatively young company in the airsoft industry, yet it offers high-quality products and services at an attractive price. The platforms manufactured by ARES successfully replicate a wide range of real firearms. The most coveted platform of our century remains the M4. This platform has been thought, rethought, twisted, and turned by all airsoft replica manufacturers in an attempt to achieve maximum performance from its design. Amoeba is a sub-brand of the ARES manufacturer that successfully implements today's digital technology into the operation of airsoft replicas.

Exterior of the Replica

This replica is model 009 and, like other Amoeba models, is made from plastic. This is not a bad thing, as it significantly lightens the overall weight of the replica. The front rail system is made from aluminum, and the rail sections can be rearranged at will using hex screws. The grip and stock of the replica are made from ABS plastic. The stock tube is made of metal, as is the attachment system for the outer barrel. The stock is adjustable and provides decent space for the battery. The rear cap can be easily removed by pressing a button. The replica is equipped with a classic, foldable sight system. Note that it is not adjustable in any way. The magazine release button is enlarged for easy access. The fire selector is located on the left side.

Interior of the Replica

The gearbox of the replica resembles version 2, but the similarity ends there. The entire gearbox is managed by an electronic unit. This electronic unit ensures the proper functioning of the replica. It is equipped with Mosfet, Active breaking, Soft start, and most importantly, it can be set to operate in one of the semi, burst, or auto modes on the fire selector positions. This modification can only be done with a special device that is not included in the package. The gears are made from steel, and the piston is reinforced. The main mechanical components are standard, allowing for upgrades. Ares has equipped this toy with the ability to quickly replace the spring without removing the gearbox, just the stock tube. The motor of the replica is a high torque one, capable of pulling fairly strong springs. Thanks to the electronic control system, the trigger response is very good.

Power Supply

The package does not include a battery and charger. Upon purchasing the replica, we recommend that you look for a compatible battery and charger. The replica can operate with 8.4-9.6V NiMh or 7.4-11.1V LiPo. Crane-shaped batteries are recommended for NiMh, and compact stick batteries for LiPo. It is recommended to use 0.25g BBs for optimal performance and do not reuse BBs.
