Ares - Kel-Tec RDB17 Bullpup AEG Airsoft Rifle (OD Green)

The Ares Kel-Tec RDB17 Bullpup AEG in OD Green is a breath of fresh air for players who want something that looks, feels, and performs like nothing else on the field. Fully licensed by Kel-Tec and finished in rugged, woodland-ready OD green, this modern bullpup airsoft rifle delivers compact agility, full-length accuracy, and a futuristic silhouette that doesn’t compromise on performance. If you’re tired of running the same M4s as everyone else, this is your chance to break the mould — and still dominate the game.

At just 695mm in overall length, the RDB17 is shorter than most carbines, yet it houses a 420mm inner barrel for serious accuracy and range. That’s the magic of the bullpup layout — the action and mag well are pushed to the rear, making the rifle more compact without shortening your barrel. Whether you’re working corners in CQB or engaging targets in open woodland, the RDB17 gives you snappy handling and consistent precision in one streamlined package.

The OD green polymer body is more than just a colourway — it's high-density, impact-resistant, and molded with Kel-Tec’s distinct, tactical styling. The squared grip textures provide excellent handling even with gloves or in wet conditions. Five sling points are built into the design, giving you full flexibility in carry setups. A CNC-machined aluminium top rail runs nearly the full length of the rifle, allowing for optics, magnifiers, and all the tactical extras you could want. Beneath the handguard, you’ll also find a lower rail for vertical grips or under-barrel accessories.

Inside, this AEG runs on Ares’ proprietary EFCS gearbox — a tech-packed unit with an integrated MOSFET and microswitch trigger. The result? Crisp, responsive trigger pulls and excellent fire control, even during long bursts. Unlike traditional bullpup rifles that often suffer from mushy, mechanical triggers, the RDB17 offers a clean, direct electronic feel that rivals much more conventional rifles. And with a quick-change spring system accessible at the rear, it’s easy to tweak your FPS without tearing down the whole gun.

The hop-up is rotary and cleverly concealed in the magwell, adjusted using a tool stored in the pistol grip — a smart little detail that highlights Ares’ thoughtful design. The downward ejection system not only adds realism but also makes the rifle truly ambidextrous, eliminating the usual lefty-bullpup struggles. Fire selectors and mag releases are mirrored on both sides, ensuring intuitive operation for all players.

Performance-wise, the RDB17 clocks in around 330 FPS on 0.20g BBs, which is spot-on for most UK field limits. Battery space is housed in the handguard and accessed via a steel pin — it’s built for 7.4v LiPo batteries and comes Deans-wired out of the box. That means more efficiency, less resistance, and snappier performance straight away. Two magazines are included: a full-length 130-round mid-cap and a compact 100-round shorty — both STANAG-compatible, so your existing M4 mags will slot right in.

If you’re after an airsoft rifle that delivers modern ergonomics, elite internals, and a field-proven design wrapped in a distinctive OD green shell, the Ares RDB17 Bullpup is it. Smart, compact, and ready for anything — it’s the future of rifle play, now available for your next skirmish. And don’t forget — if you find it cheaper elsewhere, we’ll beat the price.
