Description
The Arcturus Vanguard 5" combines realistic Gas Blowback operation, accuracy, durability and upgrade potential in a modern Hi-Capa platform.
The slide is CNC-machined from metal, providing excellent durability and a realistic blowback cycle. The Gas Blowback system delivers realistic slide movement and recoil with every shot.
The 6.03 mm precision inner barrel helps provide consistent shot placement, while the adjustable Hop-Up allows the trajectory to be tuned according to the weight of the airsoft ammunition used. Ammunition in the 0.28–0.32 g range is recommended.
The ergonomic reinforced nylon-fiber grip features an aggressive textured surface for secure handling during fast-paced gameplay.
Ambidextrous controls make the pistol suitable for both right- and left-handed users. The magazine also uses durable SEFP polymer components, including feed lips, follower and base plate, designed for increased impact resistance and service life.
A RIS/Picatinny accessory rail is located underneath the barrel for mounting a tactical flashlight, laser or other compatible accessories.

5. Magazine
The Vanguard 5" comes with a 31-round gas Hi-Capa magazine.
The magazine uses SEFP polymer components, including feed lips, follower and base plate, designed for increased durability and resistance to impact and wear.
The efficient gas system can provide more than 60 shots per gas fill, depending on temperature, gas type and shooting conditions.

One of the major advantages of the Vanguard 5" is its compatibility with standard Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa parts.
This provides access to a wide range of aftermarket components for future upgrades and customization, including inner barrels, Hop-Up components, recoil springs, triggers and other Hi-Capa parts.
This makes the Vanguard 5" particularly suitable for Speedsoft and CQB players who want to progressively customize their pistol.
