The Heretic Labs Article 1 is Wolverine Airsoft's answer to competitive speedsoft: a purpose-built HPA instrument that strips away everything milsim and keeps only what makes you faster. Born from Wolverine's Heretic Labs skunkworks programme, it was arguably the first speedsoft gun you could buy ready to compete rather than building one from scratch.
It starts with a skeletonised MTW-Spec CNC billet aluminium receiver — no charging handle, no buffer tube, no stock — and replaces the handguard entirely with a genuine carbon-fibre outer barrel (14mm CCW thread) over a 150mm inner. The result is a rifle-pistol that weighs around 950g, giving the lightning-fast handling and transitions speedsoft demands.
At its heart is the proven INFERNO Gen 2 HPA engine with Heretic Labs programming, adding a binary fire mode alongside semi, programmable burst and full-auto. The CNC Heretic Labs Speed Trigger runs on a Delrin bearing for an exceptionally smooth, crisp pull, with adjustable pre-travel, post-travel and actuation so you can tune the break to your finger. It runs at 60-140 PSI with an adjustable 5-35 RPS and no first-round dry fire.
Because it's built on the MTW-Spec platform, it's endlessly customisable, compatible with a huge range of MTW-Spec and even real-steel aftermarket parts, and it feeds from a PTS EPM-MTW magazine with empty-mag detection as well as standard M4 AEG mags. This is the Amethyst Purple colourway, one of three finishes alongside Midnight Black and Torch Orange, and it's back after a spell out of production.
What's on the outside
It is unmistakable: a skeletonised billet receiver anodised in amethyst purple, a genuine carbon-fibre outer barrel in place of a rail, a CNC speed trigger and a polymer speedsoft grip that houses the fire-control battery. There is no stock or charging handle — this is a pure speedsoft rifle-pistol. A PTS EPM-MTW magazine is included.

Good to know before you buy
As a speedsoft build it has no stock and a very short, light profile — superb for CQB and speedsoft, less suited to long-range milsim. You will need HPA gear and a small FCU battery (see below), and there is no tank, regulator or line in the box. Set the output to your site limit before play.
