Secutor ASTRA XI Shadow AEG Airsoft Rifle - Black

If you’re after an electric rifle that turns heads while delivering solid performance, the Secutor ASTRA XI Shadow AEG in black has you covered. From its aggressive silhouette to its internals built for consistency, this is one of those airsoft rifles that looks like it belongs in a sci-fi thriller—but shoots like a proper skirmish workhorse. Designed with the modern marksman in mind, the ASTRA XI merges sleek aesthetics with real performance under the hood.

First impressions matter, and the ASTRA XI nails it. The full-metal build gives it a satisfying heft and durability, while the pre-installed mock suppressor and fabric shroud deliver a unique “DMR-lite” vibe. That’s not just for show either — the inner barrel extends right up to the suppressor’s edge, providing better accuracy and stability out of the box. The 14mm CW threaded barrel allows for aftermarket additions too, so whether you're slapping on a tracer unit or different flash hider, you’ve got flexibility (just keep in mind you may need a barrel extension).

Up front, you’ve got a 12-inch CNC-machined M-LOK handguard that’s lean, mean, and loaded with potential for customisation. Whether you're mounting foregrips, torches, or lasers, the M-LOK slots at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock make accessory placement a breeze. Running along the top is a continuous 20mm Picatinny rail, ideal for optics — from red dots to short dot scopes — giving you a stable and uninterrupted mounting surface.

Iron sights come included and flip up neatly when needed. With dual apertures on the rear sight and adjustable windage and elevation, you’re not short of backup aiming solutions. The upper receiver flows into a polymer dust cover and features a distinctive waffle-textured magwell for enhanced handling. Pulling back the charging handle opens that dust cover, revealing a rotary-style HOP-up unit. This makes on-the-fly adjustments fast, precise, and tactile — ideal for fine-tuning depending on BB weight or field conditions.

Controls on this airsoft rifle are fully ambidextrous, catering to both left and right-handed players. The fire selector, mag release, and bolt catch are mirrored, meaning muscle memory won't betray you mid-game. The selector clicks cleanly between safe, semi, and full-auto, and thanks to the Ares EFCS (Electronic Firing Control System), you can reprogram your fire modes with the optional EFCS programming unit.

At the rear, the UBR-inspired stock is a standout. With a fixed cheek weld and five-position length adjustment, it provides a rock-solid shooting platform without sacrificing ergonomics. Battery storage is cleverly integrated — just slide off the butt section and unscrew the end cap to reveal a Deans connector. It’s roomy enough for a 7.4v 1300mAh LiPo stick battery, which is ideal for this platform.

Internally, you’re getting serious bang for your buck. The Ares EFCS gearbox comes pre-fitted with 18:1 steel gears, 8mm bushings and bearings, and a high torque motor. This means faster trigger response, smooth cycling, and long-term durability. The quick-change spring system makes it easy to adjust your FPS if your site rules demand it, while the included MOSFET protects your electricals and adds optional fire mode programming. Expect chrono readings around 330–350 FPS with 0.20g BBs — perfect for UK site limits.

All in all, the ASTRA XI Shadow isn’t just a good-looking bit of kit. It’s a purpose-built, performance-focused airsoft gun that offers excellent out-of-the-box functionality with heaps of upgrade potential. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a milsim regular, this one’s ready to serve — and it won’t blend into the background while doing it.
