ARC-1 HPA Airsoft Rifle – Black/Dust Clear

The Maxx ARC-1 HPA Airsoft Rifle – Black/Dust Clear is a high-end HPA airsoft rifle aimed at experienced players who want a lightweight, competition-ready platform with excellent efficiency and clean, modern controls. Machined from aircraft-grade T6 aluminium, it has a refined, purposeful feel in the hands and the durability to stand up to regular skirmish use.

At the heart of the ARC-1 is Maxx’s proprietary hoseless bolt drive system, delivering a compact and streamlined design with impressive air efficiency. Running at around 100 psi for 1.2 joules with 0.20g BBs, it is built to offer consistent performance while making the most of every fill, with 3000+ shots from a 48/4500 bottle fill under the stated setup. On game day, that means less time worrying about air management and more time staying focused on the next engagement.

This rifle is set up to give you fine control where it matters most. The high-pressure regulator is integrated into the grip frame for easy adjustment and strong flow at low-pressure operation, while the integrated on/off ASA makes degassing and bottle changes quicker and safer. The adjustable trigger allows you to tune pre-travel and post-travel to suit your preference, and the magnetic interchangeable trigger face system makes trigger changes simple without turning the rifle into a workshop project.

In use, the ARC-1 is designed to feel fast, direct and easy to manage. The ambidextrous magazine release helps keep reloads efficient from either shoulder, and the physical safety and trigger trainer switch adds a practical layer for setup and handling. A detachable trigger guard also allows compatibility with blade-style trigger setups for players who want a more competition-focused feel.

Accuracy and adaptability are equally well considered. The 155mm 6.03mm tight bore barrel works with an easy-adjust flywheel hop-up system that accepts industry-standard buckings and barrels, giving you more flexibility when tuning the rifle for different site limits and engagement distances. The hop unit is also interchangeable with the Maxx M1 hop-up system, which will appeal to players already familiar with Maxx internals or planning a carefully matched build.

Maintenance is refreshingly straightforward for a rifle in this class. The tool-less outer barrel and body takedown give quick access to the hop-up components and bolt, making field stripping and routine servicing far less of a chore. If you are building out a complete HPA setup, it also makes sense to look at HPA bottles, airsoft BBs and hop-up rubbers that suit your preferred site and play style.

For players who want premium construction, sharp trigger response and practical HPA usability in one advanced platform, the ARC-1 deserves a close look.
