For a long time, owning a shotgun with an integrated flashlight was practically a luxury. There were kits and accessories available to achieve it, but they usually required modifications, specific parts, and a considerable investment. In other words, it was a setup reserved for players willing to spend serious money. 

The Velites Ferrum S-IX completely changes that concept by incorporating an integrated flashlight directly into the handguard, offering a compact, practical, and ready-to-use solution straight out of the box. 

In addition to this feature, the Ferrum S-IX retains the characteristics that have made Velites shotguns so popular:

• 3-BB firing system per shot 
• Spring-powered operation, requiring neither gas nor batteries 
• Multiple inner barrels for a more realistic spread pattern 
• Compatible with standard 30-BB shotgun shells 
• Robust construction designed for CQB environments 
• Top rail for optics and accessories

Its greatest advantage remains its simplicity. It does not depend on temperature, batteries, or complex maintenance, making it a highly reliable option for players looking for an effective replica in close-quarters environments.

FULL METAL 
Ferrum, which literally translates from Latin as “iron,” is probably the perfect name for a full-metal shotgun range. 
This series uses the all-metal receivers originally developed for Velites' gas-powered line and combines them with a spring-powered 3-BB firing system that differs from the designs players have traditionally been used to. 

ADJUSTABLE HOP-UP SYSTEM 

The shotgun features a small adjustment port located on top of the barrel assembly. Inside, a selector lever allows limited hop-up adjustment. Obviously, do not expect the same adjustment range as an M4 platform—but then again, it does not need it.

The system allows players to fine-tune performance for different BB weights and achieve a flatter or more arched trajectory using 0.20 g, 0.25 g, and even 0.28 g BBs (we would not recommend going heavier). 
This increases both the shotgun's effective precision and, potentially, its usable range in game situations.
