Airsoft Milsim News Review | PTS Bronze FAST FTC & MICRO MOUNT – AMNB Spotlight

By Chris Bravo - March 15, 2024

It’s like Swiss chocolate, you need to try it once!

The Unity Tactical FAST™ is a series of optic mounts that provide end users with a quicker sight picture than standard height mounts. PTS is the official licensed airsoft manufacturer for their FAST Series (and many more) and they dropped a Bronze version some time ago already which is only available to airsoft for now!

As we’re big fans of the FAST Series and run it through our different rifle setups, we came across the Bronze version lately too. To us, it’s more like a “chocolate” color instead of Bronze that’s why we call them the choco dipped FAST Mounts. Nevertheless, they perform like a boss and with all PTS licensed products we had in our hands before, the workmanship is top notch and what you expect from such a licensed product.

They won’t let you down in the field, that’s for sure!

PRODUCT SPECS

The PTS Unity Tactical FAST™ Micro Mount features built-in standard height back up iron sights (BUIS) that keep your airsoft gun uncluttered without reducing capability. The FAST’s built-in front/rear BUIS is perfect for backup on super short PDW/SMG platforms where rail space is critical for mounting lights and lasers. Also, the front sight post can be removed so that the rear BUIS aperture can be used with a traditional front sight such as the PTS FUSION folding front sight, creating a more conventional sight radius. Both front and rear BUIS are completely adjustable for windage and elevation.

The PTS Unity Tactical FAST™ FTC (Flip-To Center) Aimpoint Mag (Magnifier) Mount feature the first-ever Flip-To-Center (FTC) mechanism (patent-pending), providing stowage completely within the footprint of the weapon’s receiver while not occluding the host optic’s sight picture at all. ypically, with a legacy flip-to-side magnifier mounts, the magnifier is disengaged, it hangs off the side of the gun thus creating a major snag hazard.

The revolutionary FTC function completely solves this problem by completely eliminate this danger. This provides the most optic capability with the lowest profile during all modes of operation. The mount utilizes a force-to-overcome mechanism for rapid transition so there are no levers pull or buttons to press in order to disengage the magnifier. Additionally, the mount is quick detach for rapid removal and installation in the field. It is compatible with Aimpoint® Magnifiers (3XMag-1, 3X-C) and some other 30mm magnifiers.
