Overview
The EMG CGS Lightning Series Colt Model 723 Gas Blowback Airsoft Rifle is a faithful tribute to one of the most iconic fighting rifles in modern military history. Officially licensed by Colt and manufactured by CYMA, this rifle blends classic AR‑15 aesthetics with modern gas blowback performance. Designed for realism, reliability, and upgrade compatibility, the Model 723 delivers an authentic shooting experience straight out of the box.
Patterned after the historic Colt Model 723 used by military and special forces units, this rifle features period-correct furniture, engraved Colt trademarks, and a robust gas system built for skirmish use—not just display.
Authentic Colt Construction & Historic Styling
At the core of this rifle is a cast aluminum alloy M16A2-style receiver set, complete with deep engraved Colt trademarks for unmatched realism. The C7-style upper receiver features an integrated carry handle and classic rear sight, staying true to the original service configuration.
Externally, the rifle is finished with a CAR‑15 two-piece polymer handguard, original-style M16A2 slim grip, and matching stock. These components provide a lightweight, balanced feel while maintaining the authentic look that collectors and milsim players demand.
The 14.5-inch outer barrel makes this rifle extremely versatile, offering excellent maneuverability in CQB environments while still providing effective accuracy at mid-range distances.
CGS (CYMA Gas System) Performance
The heart of the rifle is the CGS (CYMA Gas System)—a brand-new gas blowback design focused on efficiency, durability, and real-world usability. The system is fully cross-compatible with Tokyo Marui MWS-spec parts, opening the door to a massive aftermarket ecosystem for future upgrades and tuning.
Compared to older gas systems, CGS offers smoother cycling, improved gas efficiency, and consistent performance across varying temperatures. This makes the Model 723 an excellent choice for players who want a dependable GBB rifle they can take straight onto the field without extensive modifications.
Lightweight Bolt Carrier & Steel Internals
To improve cycling speed and recoil response, the rifle is equipped with a lightweight aluminum alloy bolt carrier group, delivering a faster rate of fire while maintaining realistic blowback action. Critical wear components—including the trigger mechanism, bolt catch, and front sight—are made from steel, ensuring long-term durability under sustained use.
The result is a rifle that feels lively in the hands, cycles reliably, and stands up to the demands of regular skirmishing.
Ready to Play, Built to Grow
Out of the box, the EMG CGS Lightning Series Model 723 is field-ready, shooting within a skirmish-friendly 340–380 FPS range. The included 30‑round STANAG gas magazine offers realistic capacity and consistent feeding, enhancing immersion during gameplay.
Thanks to its MWS compatibility, this rifle is also an ideal platform for players who enjoy upgrading over time—whether that means enhanced hop-up components, aftermarket internals, or external customization.
