It starts with a full CNC machined metal receiver, and integrated M-LOK handguard, allowing for the attachment of the same accessories (lights, lasers, grips, etc.) as its real-steel counterpart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weighing in at 7 lbs., it also closely mimics the weight of the real-steel Virtus, and with its fully ambidextrous controls and 3-position telescoping stock, it shares all the same handling characteristics as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ProForce Virtus is rounded out by a full-length 12 o\u2019clock Picatinny rail which allows for the attachment of iron sights and\/or optics, and other accessories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bPbS6Y6xOXw\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ProForce Virtus is an AEG (Auto Electric Gun), which is powered by a 11.1V LiPo rechargeable battery. It is chambered for 6mm plastic BBs, which it can fire out at up to 370 fps, with a muzzle energy of 1 joule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Virtus comes with one 120-round mid-capacity magazine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ProForce MCX Virtus airsoft rifle has an MSRP of $459.99 and is now available for purchase from SIG AIR dealers.
