What makes the CTA Digital U.S. Army Line realistic? For one, the design of each [gaming rifle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corsair-call-of-duty-warzone) is modeled after the real deal. These even come apart just like a real firearm would. But what really makes it authentic is the fact that CTA Digital actually made [shooting and aiming](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rebuff-reality-bodylink) similar to the experience of handling an actual rifle.
