We’re back with another of our favourite airsoft brands to start this week, to highlight the latest AEG models from our good friend EVOLUTION AIRSOFT over in Italy as we’ve been starting to look at the models and accessory parts hinted at during IWA 2024, and showcased at IWA 2025!
We’ve been eagerly waiting to get our hands on a new GHOST 3.0, as these and the RECON 3.0 benefit from the new VIPER trigger and electronics!
The GHOST 3.0 VIPER M shown in the image today not only has the new VIPER “OS”, but also comes with additional features such as;
- New Evolution Cargo Stock™, designed in Italy by Evolution.
- New EMR™ (Evolution Modular Rail) aluminum handguard, completely redesigned and CNC-machined for extreme durability, finished with Duralite™ for enhanced scratch and abrasion resistance.
- New ergonomic grip with next-gen design and Tool-less Access Grip, TAG system™ for tool-free motor access.
- New 140 BB MATRIXX Magazine
- Ultralite Carbontech™ body, designed in Italy. In addition to its distinctive Evolution look, it’s engineered to be extremely robust and totally flex-free, with internal reinforcements and an aluminum core. The difference compared to common polymer bodies is immediately noticeable.
At the heart of the GHOST 3.0 platform lies the new ETS IV VIPER electronic trigger, offering advanced fire control management. Unlike many ETU systems, the VIPER is fully integrated and does not require apps or external connections for programming, so all settings can be managed directly through the trigger in a fast and intuitive way, even when you’re in-game!
EVOLUTION tells us that;
“The Ghost 3.0 line is engineered to deliver high performance, precision, and absolute reliability. Entirely designed in Italy, the Ghost 3.0 is built for the most demanding players who expect the best from their gear in every game scenario – from CQB to the toughest and most extreme outdoor operations.
As mentioned at IWA2025, we decided to further improve our Ghost (hybrid) and Recon (full metal) range and we decided to reduce the number of models to simplify the range and make the Evolution brand clear to players. For the same reason, both lines now share the same Viper electronic trigger.”
We’ve always loved the unique “Italian Design Flair” that EVOLUTION continue to bring to the airsoft party, and the new GHOST 3.0 certainly looks like they’re continuing the tradition of being different, but in a thoroughly good way!
We’re just starting to put the new AEG through its paces, but if you’re in the UK and fancy getting your hands on one before we drop our full review then head on over to URBAN AIRSOFT to check out all the new GHOST 3.0 and RECON 3.0 models, along with a whole lot more airsoft goodness!
