Colt M733 Commando GBBR Replica CGS Lightning Series - Black [CGS]

The replica was developed in cooperation between CYMA and CyberGun under official Colt license, offering realistic markings and faithful reproduction of the M733 Commando model, a compact carbine from the 1980s used by special forces in CQB operations. It belongs to the Lightning Series, which thanks to the use of a lightweight aluminum bolt carrier and an optimized return system ensures excellent responsiveness and a fast operating cycle. The heart of the replica is the CYMA CGS system, developed with T8 and based on the TM MWS platform, ensuring realistic blowback and compatibility with tuning parts.

History and facts

The Colt M733 Commando is one of the most recognizable variants of the CAR-15 family, developed in the 1980s as a compact version of the M16 rifle. It was designed to meet the needs of special forces for a shorter, more mobile weapon better suited for CQB operations.

The M733 model was widely used by special forces units. It was also a commercial firearm used by foreign military forces such as those in El Salvador and Mexico. In the United States, it was mainly used by SWAT units.

An interesting fact is that the M733 also appeared in pop culture, it can be seen in the cult film “Heat" (1995), where it was used in one of the most intense action scenes in cinema.

Construction and details

The replica is made of metal and features realistic “COLT M16A2" markings on the lower receiver. The classic upper with a carry handle and integrated rear sight fully preserves the retro character of the design.

The rifle is equipped with a short 11.5-inch outer barrel, ensuring high maneuverability and quick target acquisition - features especially important in CQB scenarios.

The front of the replica is fitted with a CAR-15 style polymer handguard, while ergonomics are completed with a classic pistol grip and an adjustable stock mounted on a metal two-position buffer tube.

The construction also includes a number of steel components that enhance durability, such as the bolt catch, iron sights, sling mounts, and parts of the trigger assembly. The replica is powered by a 30-round gas magazine.

Full Colt Industries License

The replica is manufactured under Colt Industries license, featuring authentic markings and faithfully reproduced details of the original firearm. The external construction is made of high-quality aluminum, while key mechanical components are made of steel, increasing durability and resistance to heavy use.

Reliable CYMA CGS internal system

At the heart of the replica is the modern CYMA CGS gas system, developed in cooperation with T8, based on the popular MWS platform, known for its high realism of operation and wide availability of upgrade parts. The design features an adjustable trigger mechanism, allowing precise tuning of the replica's characteristics to the shooter's preferences. To increase durability and resistance to wear, numerous steel components have been used, including the complete trigger group, hammer, bolt catch, and magazine release.

In the Lightning Series version, an aluminum bolt carrier is used, reducing the mass of moving parts, which translates into better responsiveness, a shorter operating cycle, and a higher rate of fire. The system is complemented by a polymer buffer that stabilizes blowback operation and improves overall smoothness. This configuration provides realistic recoil, dynamic bolt movement, and high user comfort both in semi-automatic and full-auto fire.
