Heretic Labs was born as Wolverine Airsoft's skunkworks speedsoft division — a deliberate decision to develop a line of HPA competition guns free from the constraints of the milsim aesthetic. The result is the Article Series: pistol-format HPA rifles that reject everything non-essential. No buffer tube. No stock in the traditional sense. No charging handle. No weight that doesn't contribute to performance. Each Article iteration refines the formula further.
Built on the MTW-Spec platform, every Article accepts the same engines, FCUs, and electronics as the full MTW range. The INFERNO Gen 2 or XTS engine sits in an identically aligned receiver — Intrinsic Alignment is present on every Article. The carbon fibre outer barrel serves the double function of structural front end and ultra-lightweight alternative to a conventional handguard.
The Article III is the Article with a stock — specifically, the Heretic Labs Carbon Fibre Stock with a 1" Drop Stock Adapter. This takes the ultra-light carbon fibre construction philosophy from the front end and applies it to the rear, giving you a cheek weld and shoulder mount point without adding significant weight. The carbon fibre stock is structurally rigid and exceptionally light, and the 1" drop adapter sets it at the ergonomic position Heretic Labs determined works best with the Article's pistol-format receiver geometry.
The Article III retains the Heretic Labs Speed Trigger with its distinctive red finish — matching the red INFERNO Gen 2 engine visible through the skeletonised receiver. The control board delivers semi, burst, full-auto, and binary fire modes. Carbon fibre outer barrel up front as with the other Articles.
