APS Ghost Patrol Carbine SDU 2.0 AEG

Spice up the competition with the flashy Ghost Patrol Ghost Patrol Carbine SDU 2.0, a new entry into the field of aggressive and optimised skirmish shooting. Boasting full metal construction and gleaming metallic blue accent colour, beastly sound amplifier and a whole host of included goodies and features that come together in a unique package that looks and sounds great and shoots even better!

First and foremost, at the front of the rifle attached to the barrel, we have the menacing sound-amplifying muzzle device that provides an aggressive snap with every shot so everyone in the skirmish will know who hit them. The muzzle also matches the style of the rest of the carbine, extending the front with a modern touch.

The 10-inch floating handguard is the perfect length that is optimised for CQB skirmishing but also bridges the gap between CQB and outdoor events. The handguard features an M-LOK rail system for attaching a whole host of accessories at each 45-degree angle along the length of the barrel. This gives you options to augment the rifle depending on your playstyle or objective such as attaching foregrips for extra stability or lasers, torches, rails and even hand stops. The choices are endless with an M-LOK system! To get you started with this, you can attach any of the included accessories, such as the front hand stop and 2 x 20mm RIS rails.

Below the handguard is the gleaming barrel that shines in metallic blue to stand out from the crowd and gives the carbine a modern, competition style look. The free floated barrel designed to match real steel 3-gun setups is used to maximize accuracy and get those hits on target. The inner 6.03mm tight bore barrel only adds to this precision.

Included in the package are a set of high quality adjustable ironsights. The front and rear sights can be adjusted by a small central dial to adjust the height allowing you to stay accurate no matter the situation and distance. For additional precision, the rear sight features an aperture type design. Also included is a QD (quick detach) sling that can be attached either side of the handguard as well the underside of the stock for multiple carrying options.

You will notice that the front sight is attached by a small area of 20mm RIS rail, just enough to hold the sight and leaving the rest of the handguard to sport more of the M-LOK system, giving you additional customisation options as well as reducing weight for a unique type of handguard not seen on many carbines.

The full alloy receiver features several engravings unique to this rifle, such as the Ghost Patrol logo and 5.56 calibre on the left hand side, in keeping with the sleek and modern style. The metallic blue selector and release really pop against the reinforced black polymer body. The rifle showcases a unique flat, speed trigger, perfect for quick response and rapid fire style of gameplay for those who love laying down as much fire as physically possible! The bottommost part of the trigger is angled to avoid any potential finger slippage.

An ergonomic pistol grip completes this luxury body and for extra grip it sports a textured finish on the sides, upon closer inspection the texture itself is in fact the APS logo, which is a cool little detail and comfortable to boot. The rear of the grip sports a sturdy ridged design, there's no way this rifle is slipping out of your hand, regardless of the weather conditions. The pistol grip can be customised using some of the included accessories such as the larger backstrap as well as a strap for the front to add a middle finger rest for additional stability.

The charging handle can be found at the top rear of the receiver and is an enlarged ambidextrous design to ensure you can find the control when you need it, even with your eyes up scanning the environment for your next target. On an Airsoft AEG, the charging handle is not used to cock the weapon but is instead used to pull the mock bolt carrier backwards either for realism's sake, or to access the HOP-up.

The bolt release catch can be found just above the magazine catch and can be used to lock the mock bolt cover open for a HOP-up adjustment by pulling the charging handle back and pressing the lowermost surface of the bolt release catch down. This should hold the mock bolt to the rear, and provide access to the gear adjuster for the alloy HOP-up unit. The gear can be turned to tune the amount of backspin applied to your BBs and set the Phantom up for your ammo weight of choice. With your adjustment complete, you can now hit the upper portion of the bolt release catch which will send the mock bolt plate home with a satisfying "clank".

Another trick up the Carbine's sleeve is the fast deploying PDW stock with spring-loaded functionality to quickly extend stock in the heat of battle. No more extending the stock manually, just a single push of the underside button snaps the stock back, ready for action.

The battery compartment of the APS Phantom can be found inside the stock at the rear of the gun. The easy detach compartment can be accessed by removing the pin at the top of the buffer tube, revealed when the stock is fully extended, and then removing the top panel. To save space when the stock is collapsed the battery compartment is super compact, but will snugly fit a small PDW stock battery with a Deans connector. For the APS Carbine, we recommend a Specna Arms 7.4V 600mAh 20/40C Battery for PDW - Deans for the best combination of easy installation and performance.

Though you cannot see it from the outside, the APS Phantom is as well equipped when it comes to internals as it is externally. The well regarded APS eSilver Gearbox has been installed inside, offering a microswitch trigger, a quick change spring system with a strengthened spring guide design with built-in bearings, 8mm bushings and a bearing equipped piston head to guarantee smooth cycling and minimal stress transferred to the internal parts. The microswitch trigger works together with the SDU 2.0 MOSFET to provide an impressive trigger response, to the extent that you can hammer the trigger and almost reach full auto like speeds! The internal surfaces of the gearbox have been polished and buffed, saving you a job if you ever decide to push the Phantom even further with internal upgrades which is entirely possible thanks to the gearbox's Tokyo Marui compatibility. The SDU 2.0 also allows for programmable fire modes, meaning you can set the Phantom up for bursts of varying duration by swapping a "burst" mode for either semi-auto or full-auto. For more information on how to do this, see the "Special Instructions" section below.

So if you are looking for an exciting and competition-ready rifle, with a unique sense of style in M4/AR15 variety, the Ghost Patrol Carbine SDU 2.0  is a flashy way to stand out from the crowd and will give you that edge to really get the job done. Endlessly customizable with an extravagant feel, your opponents won’t soon forget what pipped them at the post.

Special Instructions

This AEG makes use of the APS SDU 2.0 MOSFET, allowing programmable fire modes which can be set using the controls on the gun itself.

The button to program the fire controls can be found inside the magazine well, on the right side of the gearbox shell when viewed through the magazine well with the rifle inverted. Holding the button down until you see a red light blink twice will select the next mode in the following sequence:

Mode 1: SAFE - SEMI - FULL AUTO (default)

Mode 2: SAFE - SEMI - 3 RND BURST

Mode 3: SAFE - 2 RND BURST - FULL AUTO

Mode 4: SAFE - 3 RND BURST - FULL AUTO

Mode 5: SAFE - 3 RND BURST - 9 RND BURST

Pressing the button down until you see the red light flash twice will scroll through the fire modes to select the next mode.

For example, if you are starting on Mode 1 and you want to select Mode 4, you will need to press and hold the button down until you see the red light blink twice 3 times in succession. Following this, the SDU 2.0 will be set to Mode 4.

To restore the factory default fire control settings, select Mode 1 by double tapping the mode selection button.
