- description
This is the CM097 at its most compact. The 9" configuration is built for close-quarters work — minimal length to snag, fast into the shoulder, and easy to drive through doorways and around vehicles — while the full-metal receiver keeps it feeling solid rather than toy-like in the hand.
What's on the outside
Despite the short frame it keeps the full feature set: an M-LOK handguard for a vertical or angled grip and a light, a full-length upper rail with flip-up sights, and an adjustable crane stock with QD sling points for fast slinging in and out of cover.

Good to know before you buy
What makes it punch above a typical CQB gun is the Platinum E-Edition internals: an EShooter Kestrel ETU over the reinforced GEN2 gearbox, giving programmable fire modes, an extremely snappy trigger and voltage protection. Tokyo Marui spec means the upgrade path stays wide open.
Frequently asked questions
How short is the CM097F compared with the rest of the CM097 range?
At 9" it's the most compact CM097, aimed squarely at CQB, while the 14.5" CM097A and 16" CM097 trade handling for reach.
What extra fire modes does the Kestrel ETU give the 9" build?
Beyond safe, semi and full auto, the EShooter Kestrel unit can be programmed for burst or binary, and it adds pre-cocking, active braking and voltage protection.
Which LiPo should I pair with the CM097F?
A crane-format LiPo at 7.4V or 11.1V on a Deans connector; go for 11.1V if you want the quoted rate of around 25 rounds per second.
Is there room for a grip and torch on such a short rifle?
Yes. The 9" keeps an M-LOK handguard plus a full-length 20mm Picatinny upper wearing flip-up front and rear sights.
Can it take TM parts and standard mags?
The GEN2 internals follow Tokyo Marui V2 spec, and it accepts STANAG M4/AR-15 magazines; one high-capacity mag is supplied.
