Key Features

• HAL¹ ETU™ programmable electronics – select safe, semi, full auto, or custom firing profiles
• CNC aluminium handguard and alloy barrel – lightweight, durable construction
• M-LOK and 20mm Picatinny rail – attach optics, lights, and grips without tools
• Rotary hop-up – precise, stable pellet trajectory at medium range
• Multi-position M4 crane stock – adjust length of pull to suit your kit
• Two 125-round mid-cap magazines – realistic weight and reload mechanics
• 7.4V Deans battery – quick charge, proven compatibility

Real-World Use Cases

Ideal for CQB-focused skirmish games where a shorter carbine manoeuvres tight spaces. The rotary hop-up keeps rounds on target at typical indoor and outdoor ranges (20–40m), whilst the ETU lets you dial in semi-auto precision for controlled engagements. Milsim players often favour the SA-C22 as a trusty support rifle or secondary to a designated marksman setup. New players appreciate the reliability and the non-proprietary rail system, which means standard airsoft accessories fit straight on.

Compatibility & Upgrades

The SA-C22 CORE uses standard AEG mid-cap magazines (125-round capacity supplied), so you can mix and match brands. The V2 gearbox is one of the most popular platforms in airsoft – replacement springs, pistons, and motors are widely stocked in the UK. The rotary hop-up accepts standard airsoft bucking and nub upgrades. Thanks to its M-LOK rail, you won’t struggle finding compatible lights, lasers, RIS grips, or rail covers. The crane stock slides onto a standard M4 buffer tube, so upgrades there are straightforward too.

UK Legal & Site Notes

This airsoft rifle is a two-tone (black and tan optional), compliant with UK law under the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006. Before use at any UK skirmish site, contact the site organiser to confirm their FPS limits and engagement distance rules. Most UK outdoor sites accept 310 fps with 0.20g BBs, though CQB venues may ask for a lower spring. As with all AEGs, keep the battery charged but not over-charged, and store it disconnected if you’re not playing for more than a week.
