The EMG Daniel Defense 9.5" Helios MK18 RIII GBBR Gel Blaster Rifle by Golden Eagle represents the pinnacle of realism, build quality, and performance in gas blowback gel blasters. Officially licensed by Daniel Defense and manufactured in partnership with EMG Arms International, this rifle delivers an authentic military-grade experience unmatched in the Australian gel blaster market.

Unlike aftermarket airsoft conversions, all Golden Eagle GBBRs are purpose-built as gel blasters directly on the factory production line, ensuring correct tolerances, durability, and reliable long-term performance.

Proven Reliability – ViperTac Endorsed

At ViperTac, we have proudly stocked the Golden Eagle GBBR range since it first arrived in Australia, and these rifles have consistently proven themselves to be robust, reliable, and exceptionally well-engineered.

One of the standout advantages of the Golden Eagle platform is the excellent aftermarket support. Spare parts and upgrades are readily available, and ViperTac carries a full range of replacement and upgrade components, giving customers long-term confidence and serviceability.

Unmatched Realism & Internal Authenticity

This MK18 RIII GBBR fires and field strips almost identically to a real-steel M4, a detail frequently praised by military and ex-military customers. The internal construction features numerous steel components, including the hammer and bolt catch, delivering realistic recoil impulse, weight, and handling.

Attention to detail is outstanding, with precise fitment between parts, durable alloy construction, and laser-engraved authentic Daniel Defense markings. This is a rifle built for enthusiasts who demand realism without compromise.
