Performance, mechanics and precision

Operating with a Gas Blowback (GBB) system , the Vanguard offers realistic shooting behavior thanks to a CNC-machined aluminum slide and MIM steel internals. The threaded compensator reduces muzzle rise for cleaner shots and improved stability. Optimized sealing and gas efficiency enhance shot consistency.

Construction and compatibility

The reinforced polymer frame lightens the overall weight without sacrificing strength, while the machined slide ensures durability and a realistic recoil feel. Compatibility with standard Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa parts facilitates upgrades (barrels, valves, springs, magazines) and customization to player preferences.

Ergonomics and field features

The stippled SEFP polymer grip provides a secure hold even in wet conditions. Fiber optic sights allow for rapid target acquisition, the ambidextrous ejection control is suitable for right- and left-handed users, and the integrated Picatinny rail supports lights and lasers for CQB.

Maintenance and usage tips

Regularly lubricate the cylinder head and valves, check the seals for leaks, and use a fuel suitable for the climate to maintain performance and longevity. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations when performing upgrades and verify Hi-Capa compatibility to avoid friction and premature wear.
