Ares Tar 21 - (Add your reviews to this too)

Hello Airsoft Canada

I bring to you the Ares Tar 21. I'll try to keep this brief and concise

Its a great gun but go to my 2nd post if you want skip the talk and see what kind of REPORTED PROBLEMS there are with the TAR 21

A Rose for those who will feel its PAIN!!



Why would you buy a Ares Tar 21?

Most likely if you ask yourself this question you are a person who loves the bullpup guns and is a big fan of them all. Whether you have shot one or owned one or use to own one you know that these type of design is for you.

Not everyone enjoys the bullpup design and thats okay as it does take some getting use to when holding it.

I bought the Ares Tar 21 because I loved my P90 but I found it too short for Outdoor games and a Steyr Aug was just too long for me to engage in my running action play (For those who play with me you know I run around crazy)

Physical Features

The body is wonderful, very nice design and is strong, I have no worries of it breaking or cracking

- Comes with MARS red dot sight
- Flip Iron sights (Work well even with MARS on)
- Hard strong body
- No Wobble as I shake it hard
- Beat the body like it owes me money, no scuff marks
- Back Stock - Strong Rubbery feel better than my P90 and Aug which tended to be a bit slippery

If I beat my P90 body it will show some scuffs but on the Tar 21 I barely noticed any from my beating of it

Heres a video of me beating it let me know if you want me to hit it harder

Beating it some more!

Shooting

Accuracy test will be done when I find a adequate firing range
(ie. No pesky neighbors watching)

Firing the gun I noticed that the design of constructing the hopup chamber attached to the Gearbox gave it a nice clear, sharp and crisp noise. Very different than from my other AEGs. It is noticeably different, I can surmise that the sharp crisp sound is attributed to a good air seal

Mag Compatibility

I believe they are TM compatible as my King Arms Metal M4 mags worked

Internals
I cannot say it better than this video

YouTube - Ares TAR 21 Airsoft Tavor review by Moondog

Battery and Gearbox can be accessed at the back with one pin to push out to open it

- 300 - 315 FPS on 0.20g
- Tightbore Inner Barrel
- Hopup unit is attached to the Gearbox and can be removed
(Gives a nice crisp sound when shooting, good air seal)

Battery Compartment
- Small 9.6v Batttery
- Lipo

Gearbox
- Modified version Gearbox 6
A screw off back plate at the back of the gearbox to unscrew and easily change the spring out
- MOSFET electrical trigger (Lipo ready)
- 8mm Bushings

**The Gearbox can be quite a bitch to get too, lots of screws to take out**
