Skeletonized MTW billet receiver, genuine carbon fibre outer barrel, INFERNO Gen 2 engine with binary trigger option, and a Delrin-bearing CNC speed trigger. Under 1kg total. Amethyst Purple anodised finish.\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Article I is not a rifle build — it is a speedsoft tool engineered around a single question: what does an HPA platform look like if you strip away everything that isn't needed for tournament-format airsoft? The answer is what you see here. No charging handle. No buffer tube. No stock. No rail. A skeletonized MTW-spec receiver carved out of billet aluminium, a carbon fibre outer barrel where you'd normally have a handguard, and an INFERNO Gen 2 engine running through an upgraded control board. Total weight: under 1kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe engineering decisions tell you who this is for. Tournament speedsoft formats reward weight reduction, fire rate, and trigger responsiveness above everything else — you are running on bunkered courses, transitioning targets fast, and the difference between winning and losing a snap exchange is measured in fractions of a second. The Article I removes mass from every component that doesn't directly contribute to firing a BB. What remains is a platform that responds to inputs faster than anything in conventional rifle format can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe INFERNO Gen 2 engine is the proven Wolverine HPA core, retuned for the Article I with the new control board and Heretic Labs programming. The headline feature is the binary trigger option: in binary mode the gun fires once on trigger pull AND once on trigger release, effectively doubling effective fire rate from a single trigger finger movement. The CNC speed trigger itself runs on a Delrin bearing for an extraordinarily smooth pull, with user-adjustable pre-travel, post-travel and actuation points. Fire rate is adjustable from 5 to 35 RPS, muzzle energy from 0.8 to 1.65 joule (290–420 FPS), all set without opening the gun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the receiver is MTW-spec, the Article I inherits the entire MTW ecosystem of aftermarket parts — grips, triggers, barrel extensions, engine internals, hop chambers. If you want to upgrade or service it later, the parts pool is huge. The carbon fibre outer barrel houses a 150mm inner barrel as standard; swap the inner for a longer or tighter unit and the front end rebalances accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:16px;color:#1B3A6B;margin:18px 0 8px;\"\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne Article I in Amethyst Purple.
