Product Description
Zeus Arms HERCULES Rifle 5.56/.223 16"
Our HERCULES Series is made to go toe to toe with the BIG Manufacturers. While we believe some of our less expensive rifles out perform many of the big name brands the HERCULES series was built to SURPASS most of the top AR's in the industry and prove you can build a superior gun at the same price as them when your not paying for the name behind all of the advertising. This series features a Cold Hammer Forged Barrel, Competition Drop in Trigger, Nickle Boron BCG, Adjustable Gas Block, Full Magpul furniture and vertical grip, Ambi Safety, AMBI Magazine Release, Ambi Bolt Catch, Curved trigger guard, Lightweight QD Compatible End Plate, Light weight Castle Nut, and a VG6 Gamma Muzzle Break for the Ultimate Recoil Reduction. We built this gun to prove we can be better than the top guns in the industry for the same price. This gun holds the Nickname "DDK+" in our shop... We will let you use your imagination for what it stands for.

Muzzle Device:
The VG6 GAMMA 556 is a high performance muzzle brake for eliminating recoil. It was designed using state of the art engineering techniques, utilizing CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and CAE (Computer Aided Engineering). This product is 100% CNC machined for optimal performance. The VG6 GAMMA 556 is a muzzle brake and compensator hybrid. It virtually eliminates recoil and minimizes muzzle movement. The unique combination of both braking and compensating features inspire shooter confidence and allows the shooter to make very fast follow up shots. Its unique chamber geometries give it a very soft feel in the shoulder and the gas ports dimensions have been strenuously tested to give the utmost control to the muzzle.

Gas System: Our Hercules Series features the Superlative Arms Adjustable Gas Block that has a patented system to bleed off excess pressure unlike traditional gas blocks. Also our gas tube gets nitride coated for better corrosion resistance than your standard stainless gas tubes. Advantages of this adjustable gas sytem include:
- The pressure used in the block is reduced only to the amount required to drive the bolt carrier. The remaining gas / pressure are bled out of the block allowing the system to run much cleaner and cooler.
- Reduction of felt recoil.
- Patented adjustment detent is located outside of the block and therefore no contamination.
- The gas adjustment screw does not restrict the gas flow; therefore there is no erosion or seizing of the screw / no loss of detent due to carbon build up. Although it is removable, we have added a safety mechanism, which stops you from unintentionally backing the screw all the way out.
- When using SBR’s and / or suppressors the bleed off port allows the excessive pressure to be exhausted out of the block reducing blow back.
