Elite Force 4CRL AEG Airsoft Gun Review

2014/08/25

Action Sports, Airsoft News, Airsoft Reviews, Articles, News, Reviews, seal of excellence

Elite Force is one of the most trusted names in the airsoft world. The company not only has a terrific array of airsoft guns and gear but, also, is based in the United States. The Elite Force 4CRL is the company’s field-rated airsoft rifle, and is the big brother to the Elite Force 4CRS – their CQB-rated airsoft rifle.

Design

Appropriately, it has a long overall length of 35 inches and features a fixed, M-16 style stock. The rifle comes with a distinctive and attractive orange flash hider (something that CAN’T be said for most airsoft guns) and flip up front and rear iron sights. The orange flash hider design is taken from the MK 12 Special Purpose Rifle, or “SPR”, that is one of the many rifles used by U.S. Special Operations Forces. The Elite Force 4CRL is actually a classy hybrid of several rifle styles – from the M-4 style rail system to the SPR flash hider to the M-16 style stock; It all blends together into a beautiful airsoft rifle that you won’t be disappointed to field. In terms of its overall look, the one thing that bothered me was its “short” (in comparison to overall length) rail system. The rail system only measures about 7 inches in length and, if you have longer arms, you may be a little hard-pressed to use the thumb-over-bore shooting grip with your support hand.

That being said, I have seen several customized Elite Force 4CRLs with the rail system exchanged for a longer one and the gun is completely upgradable in this respect. In fact, the 4CRL is upgradable in just about every respect, and makes for a great base gun to build on if you are a technically-minded airsofter. I have also seen several customized versions of the rifle with the fixed stock changed out in favor of a collapsible, M-4 style stock. That way, the airsoft player has more options on the length the gun sticks out from the shooter’s body. To make a long story short: You have a lot of options with how this gun looks and functions if you are not happy with its already-stylish, out-of-the box design.

Performance

Before getting the chance to use the Elite Force 4CRL, I spoke to several players who recommended that we check it out, boasting how well the rifle performed in their games. I was very happy to find out that these players were not simply talking out of the side of their mouths as the Elite Force 4CRL is the real deal. At first, I thought the airsoft rifle was constructed with a nylon fiber receiver as there was no way a full length rifle would weigh so little. I was wrong – the receiver is full metal and the entire gun weighs about 6 lbs. This actually pretty standard for an airsoft rifle of this type – it just feels a lot lighter because of its proportions. Much like a bullpup style rifle, the weight of the 4CRL is closer to the body of the shooter as it has a short rail system and full, fixed-stock. Because of this, the Elite Force 4CRL is actually a lot more maneuverable and easier to wield than most M-16 style airsoft guns.

Official Features & Specifications:

400 FPS w/.20g
Full metal CNC’s Body
Full Metal Gearbox/Gears
300-round Hi-Cap
Front and Rear Metal Flip Sights
Newly Designed Full Metal Quad-Rail
SPR Flash Hider
Contoured Trigger Guard
Textured Nylon Fiber Grip
Fixed Rear Stock
Functional Bolt Catch
Full Length Top Rail
Metal Outer Barrel w/ NATO 5.56 Trademarks
Full Elite Force Trademarks
Li-Po Ready
1 Year Warranty

With the large, fixed stock, you can fit a whole host of battery types and sizes inside. Nowadays, everyone seems to want to use high-output lipo batteries. So, I wanted to make sure I tried one in the Elite Force 4CRL. I had no problem running an 11.1V 15C lipo battery in the gun. Over the course of several games, I didn’t run into any bad overheating moments or metltdowns – something I, unfortunately, encountered with a WE Katana AEG a while back. It may go without saying, but I would not run an 8.4V NiMH or 7.6V lipo battery in the Elite Force 4CRL. It is just far more capable than either class of battery would allow it to be.

While you can run an 11.1V lipo in the gun – for my everyday usage, I stick with a 9.6V NiMH nun-chuck style battery. They are reliable, have a low-chance of exploding on you, and are a lot easier to charge. I chronographed the rifle at at both SC Village in Norco, CA and Hollywood Sports Park in Bellflower, CA and the results were really close to the advertised rating. Keep in mind, I run .25g BBs in all of my magazines and the 4CRL was clocked at 382 FPS at SC Village and 386 FPS at Hollywood Sports Park. This is definitely in keeping with the 400 FPS rating using .20g BBs. The Elite Force 4CRL’s rate of fire is very good for a stock gun, and we got chrono readings of about 15 rounds per second with a 9.6V battery. If you are seeking a higher rate of fire, you could stick an 11.1V in it and reach about 20 rounds per second.

The airsoft gun was also very accurate, thanks to a reliable, rotary hop-up unit the rotates around the axis of the bore. This design is much more stable than hop up units that rotate perpendicular to the axis of the bore and means your shots will be more consistent. The included 300-round high capacity magazine fits reasonably well, with only a modicum of wobble.

Conclusion

Retailing for about $370 dollars, the Elite Force 4CRL is an exceptional out-of-the box airsoft rifle that will last you for a long time – even without performing any internal upgrades. Then, if you decide you want to upgrade the gun, you will find it very easy to tech and fully-compatible with TM, Ver.2 gearbox parts. I have had the pleasure of reviewing several airsoft guns for our column – this was, by far, one of the best I have had the pleasure of playing with – so much so that I am awarding it our GamingShogun.com Seal of Excellence.

You can purchase the Elite Force 4CRL at online airsoft retailers like Evike, AirsoftGI, AirsoftMegastore, and many others.

Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor Unveils “Soulmate” and “B340” Mazes

2014/08/22

Jerry Paxton

Geek News, Halloween, News

LONG BEACH, Calif., (August 21, 2014) –The Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor will rise from the haunted bows of a rich, torrid history to scare all those who dare this Halloween season beginning October 2 through November 2. Dark Harbor is pleased to unveil two brand new mazes, Soulmate and B340, and an Exclusive Encounter unlike any other haunted experience onboard the infamous cruise liner.

Graceful Gale was the belle of The Queen Mary in the 1930s. As a beautiful first class passenger Gale charmed her way across the ship’s dance floor regularly until mysteriously disappearing on her final passage in 1939. The new Soulmate maze will take over the former location of the Containment maze and bring to life the haunted spirit of the frightful Graceful Gale. The story of Gale will unravel as her true spirit is revealed and those who dare will realize that Gale may not be as graceful as she appeared, but in fact is more monstrous than ever imagined. Gale will haunt The Queen Mary in order to lure suitors into her possession. Once she captures their hearts she will have her adoring minions cut them up and reassemble them to create her “perfect mate.” But Gale isn’t so easy to please and only a few creatures are suitable enough to be her dance partner. The rest of the rejects are doomed and outcast to haunt the Queen at night.

On a 1948 Atlantic voyage, third class Queen Mary passenger, Samuel, was locked away in room B340 after a violent outburst. After hours of isolation, crew found Samuel in his room, violently ripped apart. Murdered or self-induced suicide, no one knows. B340 is a new maze through Samuel the Savage’s schizophrenic journey of isolated decent into insanity. Travel through his warped mind literally and figuratively, ultimately reaching the final resting place, but only after visitors navigate a mirage of virtual B340s. Samuel is on the loose, he’s dangerous and completely out of his mind. Through his maze you may lose your own mind and find it impossible to escape.

The new Exclusive Encounters on board the Queen Mary will take a very limited number of thrill seekers on a terrifying top secret paranormal journey through the depths of the ship that have never been open to Dark Harbor guests before. Those who dare to voyage on an Encounter will be so brave they will have to sign their life away and hope that they return safely to land.

The Monster Midway, Freakshow, Mechanical Monster, The Ringmaster and all of the terrifying spirits of the Queen will return for the horror amidst freaks, food, and live entertainment.

The terror begins October 2 and runs for 20 haunted evenings through November 2 from 7 p.m. to midnight. Ticket prices start at just $20 online, with Fast Fright, VIP Passes, and lodging packages available. Season passes are also an option for optimal adrenaline seekers.

Stronghold Crusader 2 Delayed

Jerry Paxton

Geek News, News, Windows PC News

August 22, 2014 – Firefly Studios has announced that the release date for Stronghold Crusader 2, their upcoming RTS ‘castle sim’ sequel, has been moved back from September 2 to September 23.

Simon Bradbury, Creative Director of Firefly Studios said, “Over the past two years we have stuck to our mantra that the sequel to Stronghold Crusader will be ‘ready when it’s ready’ and, although we hate having to delay the release, this is the best course of action for everyone. Our closed beta gave us vital feedback from the Stronghold community and the Crusader 2 team feels that the game needs more polish before we release it. We love being in control of our own destiny, unlike with Stronghold 3, and not being forced to release a game too early.

“In the bad old days, release dates were sacrosanct and publishers could force developers to ship even if we were not happy with the game. Now we’re in a much stronger position. Our partners, Mastertronic and Koch Media, have been very supportive and we have decided to release a better game on September 23rd.”

Firefly goes on to thank the community for their patience, outlining what the extra development time will be used for. CEO Eric Ouellette said, “As an independent developer self-publishing Stronghold Crusader 2, we are privileged to have fans who not only anticipate new releases but also show understanding when things like this happen. We are a small team working on Crusader 2 and to have a community of players who encourage us to take our time fosters a positive working environment and helps us to make better games.”

Simon Bradbury said, “We want to make the best ever 3D Stronghold game, something we’re completely happy with that lives up to the legacy of the first Crusader. By postponing the launch date we can invest time and money in return for extra polish, optimisation and bug fixes, creating a game we are proud to release.”

Stronghold Crusader 2 will be released on Steam and in stores on September 23, 2014. The game can currently be pre-ordered on Steam with 10% off, exclusive mini-campaigns and more:
