Description
This is the EMG Daniel Defense MK18-style gas blowback rifle (model G106A), made by Double Eagle under licence from EMG and Daniel Defense. The MK18 is the short-barrelled carbine made famous by US special operations units, and this replica carries Daniel Defense trademarks along with a DD-licensed bolt, pistol grip and collapsible stock.
It’s based on the Tokyo Marui MWS gas blowback system, so it takes MWS-pattern magazines and a wide range of parts. The body is CNC-machined aluminium, with steel reinforcement in the parts that take the most stress.

Good to know: MWS and gas
MWS is Tokyo Marui’s M4 gas blowback system, and many rifles and magazines are now built to the same pattern. That gives you a wide choice of spare magazines and upgrade parts, but fit can vary slightly between brands, so if you’re mixing makes, ask us and we’ll check before you order. See our magazines for spares.
Gas rifles are at their best in mild weather. On cold days, keep spare magazines in an inside pocket and swap them rather than emptying one in long bursts. Use the gas recommended in the manual, keep the magazine seals lightly lubricated with silicone oil, and store magazines with a little gas in them.
