The .usa MCR airsoft replica by Matrix/Golden Eagle has proven itself to be one of our best investments since our teams original start in the mid 2010's.
As part of our "modernization" process following a several years long hiatus, it was imperative that we increase our firepower, as we were finding ourselves outgunned and unable to properly engage in support by fire tactics that the team had originally utilized years ago.
With the purchase of the MCR airsoft replica, we quickly saw an advantage in having an AR platform based infantry automatic rifle, as it increased our flexibility compared to our previous experiences with other systems such as the MK46/MK48.
The light-weight design makes for a very beneficial ease of use; as some of our smaller, younger members are able to field the MCR with great ease.
The "dual-feed" capability has allowed for us to quickly prepare the system for a support role utilizing the belt field box magazine for higher sustained rates of fire, or an assaulting role utilizing STANAG compliant style mid to high capacity airsoft magazines, which reduces overall weapon weight, and increases maneuverability/manipulation. We are also fond of the dual-feed system as it increases overall unit standardization for magazines.
Selective fire is greatly appreciated as well, for this let's the MCR be used at locations where rules set by certain playing fields/events dictate semi only indoors/CQB. While it may be restricted to semi automatic in this circumstance, it's supportive role is still viable due to ammo capacity.
While our particular version of the MCR may only be suitable for simulated combat, our experience with it has allowed us to see the value in this platforms real world variation; so with that, a special thank you to Fightlite.
