- Evolution Recon 3.0 Viper MK18 Mod. 1
Product description
The Recon 3.0 comes equipped with:
- New Evolution Cargo Stockâ„¢, designed in Italy by Evolution.
- Aluminum handguard, completely CNC-machined for extreme durability, finished with Duraliteâ„¢ for enhanced scratch and abrasion resistance.
- Ergonomic grip and Tool-less Access Grip, TAG systemâ„¢ for tool-free motor access.
To further enhance durability, the Evolution Cargo Stockâ„¢ slides on a tough aluminum buffer tube instead of the standard plastic one used in most products of this category.
Attention to detail is evident in every component: precision finishes, internal reinforcements, laser markings, steel sling mounts, and integrated flip-up sights. The construction is rock-solid and wobble-free – even after extended use, the Recon 3.0 will feel as solid as day one.
VIPER Electronic Trigger™ – designed for those who seek real performance
At the heart of the Recon 3.0 platform lies the new ETS IV VIPER™ electronic trigger, offering advanced fire control management. Unlike other ETU systems, the VIPER is fully integrated and does not require apps or external connections for programming – all settings are managed directly through the trigger in a fast and intuitive way, even during gameplay.
The VIPERâ„¢ uses a hybrid electronic architecture that combines optical and magnetic sensors to deliver the best of both worlds.

Professional-grade internals for consistent performance
Under the body, the Recon 3.0 rifles feature a reinforced aluminum gearbox with 8mm ball bearings, PM steel gears with delayer for high ROF, a high-speed piston with full steel teeth, and a spring guide with forged steel core and bearing. The rotary hop-up system allows precise tuning while maintaining shot-to-shot consistency with any BB weight.
Quick, tool-free access to the motor compartment and easy spring guide extraction without removing the gearbox make future upgrades and customizations effortless – just like the ETU which, out of the box, supports brushless motors.
The 6.01 precision barrel with flared muzzle ensures tight and accurate shots.
Plenty of space for high-performance batteries
The new ergonomically-designed Evolution Cargo Stockâ„¢, engineered in Italy, is one of the most versatile and user-friendly stocks on the market. Two side compartments triple the available space for batteries, in addition to standard Li-Po or LiFe ones. The rotating buttplate allows battery swaps without ever detaching the plate from the stock, simplifying the operation.
Despite the generous battery space, the stock remains compact and free of unwanted play.
More Safety
Lithium batteries (LiPo, Li-ion) can be very dangerous in the event of a short circuit or if the wires are damaged. Most users tend to underestimate this risk. The new Evolution Cargo Stock features a built-in safety system that automatically lifts the buttplate slightly if the wires are not positioned correctly, preventing them from being pinched.
A no-compromise magazine
The Recon 3.0 comes standard with the Matrixx™ 140 BB mid-cap magazine – widely considered one of the best mags on the market. Its dotted texture not only allows full customization but also provides a solid, reliable grip, even with gloves on. The specially designed front section near the mag-well acts as a firm pull point for ultra-fast reloads under stress.
Its tempered steel spring ensures consistent feeding, even with heavy BBs and extremely high ROFs in advanced custom builds.
