During the United States War on Terror after the September 11th attacks, the U.S. Army realized they needed a weapon system that could be accurate at longer engagement distances, maneuverable for close urban combat, and carried a round more powerful than that of the traditional 5.56mm that was being used. Coupled with the increased need for snipers, the American military opened up a bidding contract for their SASS or Semi Auto Sniper System program. Among the many companies that entered in 2004, it was KAC (Knights Armament Company) in Titusville, Flordia that won the bid in 2005.
The airsoft version is a faithful replica manufactured by VFC and is fully licensed which means it sports all the correct dimensions and markings. For being such a hefty looking gun, its surprisingly light for its size. The finish is a rich TAN color which feels smooth to the touch. Each control surface is much larger than traditional AR15 based guns making it easy to reach and blends in well with the overall larger size of this rifle.
Internally the gun employs the same system as the VFC SR25 ECC though it kicks harder. Most importantly, the M110 features the same mock gas block hop up adjuster as well, making the adjustment of the hop up much easier to do on the fly simply with an allen key, no longer needing to break apart the rifle. Adding to the shootability, the rifle has an adjustable butt pad for better length of pull.
