KWA’s Originals range has a new colourway on UK shelves, and for once the interesting part isn’t the paint. The Midnight Mint EVE-4 and EVE-9 have arrived at Airsoft Direct as complete bundles — battery, smart charger, LiPo safety sack and a bottle of BBs already in the box. The bare rifles are listed separately on pre-order for September.
If you’ve bought a first AEG before, you know the pattern: the gun turns up, and then you find out you still need a battery, a charger that won’t cook it, somewhere safe to charge it, and ammo. These two skip that step.
What’s actually in each bundle
| EVE-4 Bundle | EVE-9 Bundle | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | £289.95 | £320.00 |
| Battery | Rebel 1250mAh LiPo 11.1V 20C stick, Deans | Rebel 3000mAh Li-Ion 11.1V 10C nunchuck, Deans |
| Charger | Rebel RBC03 smart charger | Rebel RBC03 smart charger |
| Safety | LiPo charging sack | LiPo charging sack |
| Ammo | Bottle of Rebel 0.20g BBs | Bottle of Rebel 0.20g BBs |
| Stock status | In stock | In stock |
Set against the bare rifles — EVE-4 at £244.95 and EVE-9 at £264.95, both September pre-order — the bundles add £45 and £55 respectively for four items you’d otherwise buy anyway. The stick battery in the EVE-4 kit drops straight into the PDW stock tube; the nunchuck pack in the EVE-9 kit is shaped to sit either side of the buffer tube.

What the two share
Both run the same 2.5+ VPS gearbox found in the TK.45c, Ronin T6, QRF Mod series and Ronin 47, so spares and upgrade parts cross over. Both are electronic-trigger-ready if you want to drop an aftermarket trigger board in later. Both use a reversible side charging handle that doubles as the hop-up access — you adjust hop without pulling the upper apart, which is the single biggest quality-of-life difference between these and a conventional M4 clone.
Ambidextrous fire controls, quick-detach sling sockets front and rear, and PTS enhanced polymer sights are standard on both. The receivers and handguards are high-density polymer rather than alloy, which is where the weight saving comes from — the EVE-4 is roughly a pound lighter than the metal-receiver Ronin T6.
Chrono note before you order
KWA’s own spec sheet quotes 330–380 fps adjustable on 0.20g for both rifles. The Airsoft Direct listing for the EVE-9 bundle quotes a lower out-of-the-box figure of around 310 fps. The VPS system is adjustable either way, and most UK sites cap AEGs at 350 fps on 0.20g — so treat any published figure as a starting point and get the gun chrono’d on arrival before your first game day.
EVE-4 or EVE-9?
The short version: the EVE-4 is the CQB answer at 21″ retracted and 4.6 lb, the EVE-9 is the longer, better-balanced one at 27.5″ and 5.6 lb with a 10.5″ outer barrel. Tight indoor sites and vehicle work favour the EVE-4; mixed woodland and anything where you’re holding a lane favours the EVE-9.
We covered how the two platforms handle in detail in our KWA EVE-4 vs EVE-9 comparison — that piece is the one to read if you’re still deciding. This post is about the Midnight Mint colourway and the bundle kit, which is new.
Availability
Both Midnight Mint bundles are in stock now. The bare rifles in the same colourway are on pre-order for September and ship without the battery, charger, sack and BBs. If you already have a decent charger and a spare 11.1V pack, the bare rifle is the cheaper route; if you don’t, the bundle is the one to take.
