Trident MK3 PDW-M – Dark Earth

The Trident MK3 PDW-M by Krytac is an updated iteration of a highly successful and recognizable AR-15 replica – an elegant yet highly versatile mix in a compact and lightweight package. Compared to the previous iterations, the MK3 -M model replaces the Keymod slots with a more common M-LOK interface system and introduces numerous enhancements to the gearbox and utilized elements. It is also devised as a “subcompact” model, making it the shortest out of all Tridents, as it puts extra emphasis on maneuverability in the field rather than brute force and suppressive fire.

The MK3 PDW-M is manufactured using modern casting and machining technologies. The upper and lower receiver, barrel, and collapsible stock are made from metal alloys in a precise and rigorous production process. The lightweight handguard is CNC-machined from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum. All elements are layered in a matte, scratch-resistant, anti-reflective coating. This technique protects the replica from the most common external damages and rough treatment in the field.
Smaller elements like takedown pins and QD slots are machined from steel for superb durability.
Only the pistol grip, stock, and magazine are made from high-quality polymers that are both durable and lightweight.

The MK3 PDW-M utilizes a standard AR-15 lower and upper receiver, which is well-known for its excellent ergonomics and aftermarket parts compatibility. The replica accepts standard AR-15-pattern magazines.
A 127-mm-long aluminum outer barrel holds the 155-mm high-precision inner barrel, which has a diameter of 6.03mm. The barrel ends with a bird-cage-type flash hider attached via a 14-mm CCW thread.
The low-profile, PDW-style collapsible stock is comfortable and easily adjusted to users’ build and preferences.
The Trident is outfitted with an ambidextrous selector switch that allows comfortable operation for both right- and left-handed users—a feature crucial in the dynamic, high-speed environment of airsoft fields and arenas.

At the front of the replica, we can find a high-quality free-float aluminum handguard with six M-LOK attachment slots – two slots at 9, 12, 3, and 6 o’clock positions. Combined with a single long RIS rail formed from two segments of the handguard and the upper receiver, the shooter can attach any accessories suitable to their preference or mission and game requirements.

The heart of the replica is a reinforced, Gate Titan-ready Nautilus V2 gearbox outfitted with 8mm high-performance bearings, a ported full metal piston, a high-torque motor, and a quick spring change system. Strengthened elements significantly increase the product’s reliability and durability. The inclusion of a rotary hop-up system stabilizes the BB more efficiently, granting better range and consistent accuracy.
Additionally, the electronics are upgraded with an enhanced FET system with active braking, low battery detection, and an e-trigger with a micro switch. All of those technical solutions translate directly to superb trigger reactions, lower power consumption, and superb protection of the electric circuit from power surges.

Thanks to its high-quality materials, precise engineering process, and well-thought-out construction, the Trident PDW-M is a perfect PDW-style replica—compact enough not to hinder maneuverability in the field yet potent enough to act as a primary replica in CQB games or as a secondary replica for snipers and machine gunners during simple airsoft skirmishes and complicated milsims alike.
