Matt from Evike takes a look at the EMG Helios CMMG MK47 AEG and it’s features.
Born from the idea of a soldier being able to resupply behind enemy lines and operators being able to leave a smaller footprint to conceal their presence, the SR-47 combines the familiar M4/M16 with the legendary 7.62x39mm cartridge used by the AK-47. The SR-47 was designed to allow operators to utilize munitions acquired on the field from the enemy in situations where resupply is not an option. Additionally the SR-47 has the added benefit of sounding like a typical AK-47 and not an M16 which helped mask an operator’s presence as well as being able stay covert by not leaving any evidence such as casings from a NATO weapon.
The CMMG MK47 Resolute and Banshee series of Pistols and Rifles were designed from the ground up to merge the legendary AK47’s cartridge to the familiarity and modularity of the M16. While most 7.62x39mm AR’s are mere conversion kits, the Resolute and Banshee are specifically designed to seamlessly work on standard AK47 magazines that rock in like a standard AK47 to eliminate the need for specialty or proprietary mags.
The CYMA MK47 is a hybrid gun that at its core is an AR15/M4 platform based on the venerable Tokyo Marui Version 2 Gearbox but with a sprinkling of AK flair. This essentially allows you to run an AK like setup, but with the ergonomics and modularity of an AR15. This also gives the rifle a plethora of upgrades and customization internally and externally as both the AR15/M4 rifle platform and Ver.2 gearbox are among the most popular in the industry.
