The airsoft range at LAB7 is expanding.
We are pleased to welcome Specna Arms to Malta, giving local airsoft players access to one of Europe’s best-known airsoft brands through the LAB7 online shop.
Whether you are preparing to buy your first electric airsoft rifle, replacing an older platform or looking for dependable BBs and equipment, the arrival of Specna Arms gives Maltese players more options at several experience and performance levels.
The initial LAB7 range includes electric airsoft carbines from the CORE and EDGE families, along with biodegradable BBs, batteries, charging equipment and gas for compatible replicas. Current availability can be viewed through the Specna Arms collection at LAB7.
What is Specna Arms?
Specna Arms is a European-based airsoft brand offering replicas, components and accessories for players at different stages of the hobby.
The company focuses on combining recognisable airsoft platforms with modern internal systems and practical features. Its range includes lightweight polymer models, full-metal carbines, electronic trigger systems, quick spring-change mechanisms, precision barrels, magazines and supporting equipment.
Rather than offering one type of rifle for every player, Specna Arms divides its products into different families. This helps beginners, regular players and performance-focused enthusiasts choose a platform that fits their priorities and budget.
Why LAB7 is adding Specna Arms
At LAB7, we regularly search for brands that can bring something useful and distinctive to customers in Malta.
As the local airsoft community continues to grow, we want our range to offer more than a small selection of generic products. Airsoft players have different needs depending on their experience, preferred playing environment, equipment and personal setup.
Specna Arms fits this approach because its range covers several useful categories:
- Lightweight airsoft carbines
- Full-metal airsoft rifles
- Programmable electronic trigger systems
- Quick spring-change platforms
- Biodegradable BBs
- Batteries and charging equipment
- Gas for compatible airsoft replicas
Adding Specna Arms allows LAB7 to support players who are entering the hobby as well as experienced customers looking for more advanced features.
Why Specna Arms is popular with airsoft players
A choice of different platforms
Not every player wants the same type of airsoft rifle.
Some prefer a lighter replica that is comfortable during longer games. Others want a more substantial metal construction or advanced electronic settings. Specna Arms offers different ranges to address those preferences.
The brand’s official range includes approachable CORE models, lightweight FLEX options, established ONE platforms, advanced EDGE models and higher-specification product families.
LAB7’s opening Specna Arms selection focuses mainly on CORE and EDGE carbines, supported by consumables and equipment.
Modern electronic trigger systems
Several of the Specna Arms models available from LAB7 include HAL or HAL² electronic trigger units.
An electronic trigger unit, normally shortened to ETU, manages aspects of how an electric airsoft rifle responds when the trigger is pressed. Depending on the specific system, features can include adjustable trigger sensitivity, active braking, pre-cocking and programmable firing modes.
The HAL² system fitted to the RRA SA-E07 EDGE Gen.2 also supports Bluetooth connectivity and settings through the Specna Link mobile application.
These features are particularly relevant to experienced players who want greater control over how their replica behaves.
Quick spring-change systems
Many Specna Arms carbines use an ESA or ESA2 quick spring-change system.
The purpose of this system is to make spring changes more convenient than they would be on a traditional gearbox that requires more extensive disassembly. This can help users configure compatible replicas according to the limits and requirements of different organised airsoft environments.
The precise system and procedure vary between models, so owners should always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and the rules of the venue where they play.
Upgrade-friendly designs
Airsoft players often change their setup over time.
A beginner may start with the standard rifle and later add suitable magazines, optics, grips or other compatible accessories. Experienced users may focus more closely on electronic settings, hop-up adjustment, battery choice or internal components.
Many Specna Arms platforms use familiar AR-style layouts and common accessory interfaces, making them practical foundations for players who want to personalise their setup gradually.
Compatibility must still be checked for every part. Similar-looking accessories are not automatically suitable for every rifle.
Specna Arms CORE vs EDGE: what is the difference?
Two names that buyers will frequently encounter are CORE and EDGE.
The best option depends on weight, construction, features, experience and budget.
Specna Arms CORE
CORE models generally prioritise lighter handling and accessible performance.
Current CORE Gen.2 carbines stocked by LAB7 use fibre-reinforced polymer receivers alongside metal components and modern internals. Selected models include HAL electronic trigger systems, reinforced gearboxes, quick spring-change systems and adjustable hop-up units.
A CORE model may suit:
- New airsoft players
- Players who prefer a lighter rifle
- Fast-paced indoor or close-range play
- Users who want modern electronic features
- Buyers seeking an adaptable AR-style platform
Lighter construction does not necessarily mean basic internals. The current CORE Gen.2 range includes features that were previously more commonly associated with higher-priced platforms.
Specna Arms EDGE
EDGE models are aimed more towards players seeking a premium construction and a higher level of standard equipment.
The RRA SA-E07 EDGE Gen.2 stocked by LAB7 combines a metal receiver, licensed Rock River Arms styling, a reinforced gearbox, a precision inner barrel and the Bluetooth-enabled HAL² electronic trigger system.
An EDGE model may suit:
- Intermediate or experienced players
- Buyers who prefer metal construction
- Players interested in electronic configuration
- Users who want more features included from the beginning
- Airsoft enthusiasts seeking a premium main rifle
CORE is not automatically only for beginners, and EDGE is not necessary for every experienced player. Handling, weight and preferred features should guide the decision.

SA-C17 CORE Gen.2
The SA-C17 CORE Gen.2 is available in black and half-tan finishes.
This platform combines a fibre-reinforced polymer receiver with a metal outer barrel, an M-LOK handguard and HAL electronic trigger functions. Its relatively light construction makes it a practical option for players who want modern internal features without moving immediately to a heavier metal-bodied rifle.
This can be a strong all-round choice for:
- Beginners who have researched the hobby
- Regular players seeking a lighter primary rifle
- Players who want a modern M-LOK setup
- Buyers who want a choice between black and half-tan
Specna Arms biodegradable BBs
A dependable rifle also needs suitable, consistent ammunition.
LAB7 now carries Specna Arms CORE biodegradable BBs in different weights. The 0.20g option is positioned for standard-performance replicas and high-volume use, while heavier BB weights may provide different flight characteristics depending on the replica, hop-up setup and playing conditions.
Always check:
- The BB weight recommended for your replica
- The rules of the airsoft venue
- Whether biodegradable BBs are required
- The condition and quality of the ammunition
Poor-quality or damaged BBs can affect feeding and performance.

Batteries, chargers and gas
The LAB7 range also includes selected Specna Arms power and consumable products.
These include an 11.1V LiPo battery with a Deans connector and Specna Arms Vapor Green Gas for compatible gas-powered replicas. The Vapor product is a silicone-free 145 PSI formula intended for suitable gas blowback systems in appropriate temperatures.
Battery voltage, connector type, dimensions and discharge rating must be compatible with the replica. LiPo batteries also require a suitable balance charger and responsible charging, storage and handling.
Green gas should only be used with compatible gas-powered airsoft equipment according to the manufacturer’s guidance.
How to choose your first Specna Arms rifle
Decide where you are likely to play
A shorter, lighter rifle may feel more manageable in confined environments. A longer model may provide more handguard space or a different balance.
Do not choose entirely on appearance. Consider how the size, weight and layout will feel over a complete game day.
Choose between lighter and metal construction
A fibre-reinforced polymer receiver can reduce weight, which may benefit newer players and those who value mobility.
A metal-bodied model can provide a more substantial feel, but it will normally weigh more. Neither material is automatically better for every player.
Check what is included
Read the product description carefully before ordering.
Some electric airsoft rifles do not include a battery or charger. Check the required voltage, connector and battery-compartment dimensions rather than buying a battery based only on brand.
Also check:
- Included magazine type and capacity
- Additional spring availability
- Connector type
- Barrel thread
- Included accessories
- Recommended battery type
Avoid buying only by advertised power
Power is only one part of an effective airsoft setup.
Consistency, hop-up adjustment, BB quality, reliability, handling and field compliance all matter. A higher number does not automatically make a rifle more suitable for the environment where it will be used.
Always comply with the rules and power limits of the organised venue or event.
Leave room in your budget for essential equipment
The rifle is not the entire setup.
Depending on what is included, a new player may also need:
- Certified eye protection
- A compatible battery
- A suitable balance charger
- Quality BBs
- Spare magazines
- Appropriate footwear and clothing
- A protective transport case or bag
Eye protection should be treated as essential rather than optional.
Responsible airsoft ownership
Airsoft is a recreational activity, but airsoft replicas must be handled responsibly.
They should never be displayed or carried openly in public. Store and transport them securely, preferably in a suitable closed case or bag. Use them only in appropriate private locations or organised airsoft environments where permission has been granted.
Players should also:
- Wear suitable eye protection
- Follow venue safety rules
- Keep fingers away from the trigger outside play
- Treat every replica as though it is loaded
- Disconnect batteries after use when appropriate
- Store batteries and gas safely
- Keep replicas away from unauthorised users
- Check applicable Maltese requirements before purchasing, transporting or using airsoft equipment
