Umarex Elite Force M4 CFRX Eye Trace AEG Airsoft Rifle Field Test Review

No Comments

In this Filed Test Shooting Video for the Umarex Elite Force M4 CFRX Eye Trace AEG Airsoft Rifle, I test out the Velocity in fps using my Chronograph and the Accuracy in both semi and full auto shooting .20 gram Airsoft BB’s at a paper target setup 30 feet down range. Unfortunately I do not showcase or demonstrate the EYE TRACE Airsoft ammo in this video as I do not have any at the moment on hand, but I will make a dedicated video to show what the EYE Trace Airsoft Ammo looks like in action in lower light conditions. If you are interested in information like details and specifications along with closer up video of this AEG Airsoft Rifle, then make sure to watch my Table Top Review Video for it here.

Starting with the velocity test for the Umarex Elite Force M4 CFRX Eye Trace AEG Airsoft Rifle, using .20 gram Airsoft BB’s I place 5 rounds through my Chronograph. I was very impressed with the results I got in this test, my average 5 shot velocity was 402 with the slowest readying being 401 and the fastest reading hitting 403 so only 2 fps apart. This will allow for very consistent elevation accuracy and a tighter grouping as my accuracy results did end up showing.

For my accuracy Test for the Umarex Elite Force M4 CFRX Eye Trace AEG Airsoft Rifle, I first shot 10 rounds at a fresh paper target setup 30 feet away while shooting from a semi rested position with my hands on a sand bag up front sitting on a stool in the back. I did have to remove the rear stock as my battery did not allow for the stock to be reattached, so I was not able to rest the stock on my shoulder which may have helped a bit but either way i did get a nice 1.5 inch 10 shot grouping that was fairly tight on the bullseye (just a hair to the right) with the sight settings right out of the box. The sights are fully adjustable so if you need to make some changes you can for different shooting ranges. Switching over to full auto the grouping did open up as expected as this AEG does move around a bit in full auto, but with over 50 rounds in full auto the grouping widened to a little over 3 inches or so.

The Umarex Elite Force M4 CFRX Eye Trace AEG Airsoft Rifle performed very well for me in this Field Test Shooting Video hitting the claimed velocity and shooting a nice tight grouping in both semi and full auto. It is a really nice looking AEG Airsoft Rifle with its two tone black and Tan color scheme, and I like that it has a hidden trick up its sleeve with the ability to light up and shoot EYE Trace Airsoft Ammo when you want that feature. As it is not a low cost AEG solution, I would like to have seen a bit more metal in the build but this does help keep the weight down as it is not a compact small M4 setup. I am looking forward to trying out the EYE TRACE rounds as soon as I can get some, and will report back to you when I test them out and make that video.

Manufacturer: Umarex.
Model: Elite Force M4 CFRX
Materials: Mostly plastic/some metal.
Weight: 5.2 pounds (2360 grams).
Total Length: 32.4-35.4 inches (820-900mm).
Barrel: 16.1 inch (410mm) barrel non-rifled.
Propulsion: AEG.
Action: Single action semi & full auto.
Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB’s (Eye Trace compatible).
Ammunition Capacity: Mid/High cap 340 round magazine.
FPS: 370-400 fps.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex Elite Force M4 CFRX Eye Trace AEG Airsoft Rifle is fairly short and light as it is basically a simple on and off switch as it is not mechanical but rather electrical. For this reason there is no real creep or feel of a release. When you get to a point in the trigger you close a circuit that activates the electric motor cycling the spring shooting in either semi or full auto depending on your selector switch position at the time.

Accuracy: At this time I have not made my Field Test Shooting Video or even shot the Umarex Elite Force M4 CFRX Eye Trace AEG Airsoft Rifle, I am planning to make a video for this rifle at the end of this week if all goes as planned. I do not have any of the “Eye Trace” Airsoft Ammo to show how this works and looks but I will be able to do my traditional accuracy and velocity testing here in the Replica Airguns Indoor Sea Can Airgun Range. When I do get access to some of the Eye Trace Airsoft Ammo I will make a short video most likely in a lower light situation to show how it looks.

Build Quality: The Umarex Elite Force M4 CFRX Eye Trace AEG Airsoft Rifle does have a lot of plastic in the build including the upper and lower receiver, hand guard, rear stock, front and rear sights, grips and flash hider but as expected there are metal part where they are required as in the inner and outer barrel, magazine, buffer tube, trigger, selector switch, magazine release, charging handle, dust cover and of course many internal parts. It does have a decent weight to it being a fairly long AR and so it feels solid enough. I would have liked to have seen metal sights and perhaps a metal receiver since it is not a cheap or inexpensive AEG Airsoft Rifle.

Realism: The Umarex Elite Force M4 CFRX Eye Trace AEG Airsoft Rifle is based on the M4/M16 platform of course in a modern version with all the tactical additions. It looks and feels the part for sure with lots of working parts including the safety, selector switch, charging handle, dust cover, adjustable rear stock, pop-up front and rear sights as you would expect. Most of the hardware should be interchangeable with a real steel AR if you want to personalize the look of it. The addition of the Tracer element will add to the realism when shooting it in low light situations, but so far I have not tested it as I do not have any Eye Trace Ammo on hand.

Pros:

  • Eye Trace System unique and great in low light situations.

  • Lots of accessory mounting options with Picatinny top rail and side adb bottom M-LOK.

  • Full adjustable Pop-up sights.

  • Pre-installed MOSFET for improved electronic performance.

  • Ver 2 Full Metal, fully upgradeable gearbox.

  • 6 position adjustable AR compatible type rear stock.

  • I like the two tone black and tan finish.

  • Has the Elite Force Branding from Umarex.

  • Easy to get at adjustable Hop-up.

Cons:

  • Plastic receiver and orange tip.

  • Battery options limited due nunchuck compatible space.

  • Pop-up removable sights are plastic.

Comments:

Umarex introduced the “Eye Trace” line of Airsoft Rifles at SHOT Show this year and I have been somewhat eagerly awaiting getting my hands on one to try this new system out, but unfortunately we do not have any of the Eye Trace Airsoft Ammo to do that with. I am not sure if Umarex is low on supply or perhaps it was missed in the order? Either way I will be testing out the new Eye Trace Airsoft Ammo when I get my hands on some. in the future. Just to be clear on how this works, the Eye Trace Ammo is florescent and these New Eye Trace Airsoft Rifles have a blue light you can turn on or off that activated the florescent Airsoft Rounds illuminating them to look like tracer rounds coming out of your barrel. The new Eye Trace Airsoft Rifles work just like a standard AEG Airsoft Rifle when using normal Airsoft BB’s, so I can test the Umarex Elite Force M4 CFRX Eye Trace AEG Airsoft Rifle as I always do so stay posted for my Official Field Test Shooting Video for it coming out very soon.
