ICS AK74M March 11, 2006
(Visited 7322 times)
I Chih Shivan Enterprise Co., Ltd. or ICS has thrown a 4-part gearbox into the AK74M. Each part; trigger assembly, motor section, piston assembly, and gear section can all be detached from each other which can make for quick part swaps if you’ve got a broken piece rattling around in there somewhere.

Tokyo Marui MP7 Review with Images February 9, 2006

Double Eagle M86 (AK47) February 6, 2006
(Visited 21516 times)
The Double Eagle M86 AK-47 marks a major turning point for China-made airsoft guns. This is the first high end production AEG from China and we must say that Double Eagle has outdone themselves on this one.
First Impressions
The Double Eagle M86 AK-47 is modeled after a Romanian made AK-47 variant, so the first thing you will notice is the difference in selector pattern from the traditional AK. One click down from safety is semi-automatic for controlled, accurate shots. Drop the selector down another click to full auto and at the squeeze of the trigger the M86 fires 13 shots in under a second. The overall finish of the gun is outstanding as you can hopefully tell from the image. It is extremely hard to tell the plastic parts from the metal parts because the finish is that good.

Classic Army M15A4 CQB
(Visited 11456 times)I was fortunate enough to get a hold of the Classic Army M15A4 CQB for the weekend, thanks to a friend who was enthusiastic enough about the gun to actually want to have it reviewed in order to spread the good word about it.
First Impressions
The first thing I noticed about the gun was how rock solid the thing was. No creaking or wobbling present throughout the length of the gun. Given the length and compactness of the gun, it was quite hefty, weighing in at 3kg without the battery. The overall feel of it is much like its real steel counterpart, especially with the battery in place, since you can even hold it just by the barrel, lift the gun to the horizontal position and shake it a bit without any noticeable squeak or wobble. The strength and weight might be attributable to the fact that most of the gun is made of metal, with the exception of the pistol grip, vertical fore grip, sliding crane stock and two included rail covers.

Tokyo Marui Glock 18C EBB Review February 5, 2006
(Visited 10640 times)
A few months ago, I ran into a bit of a problem. My other gun had broken, and I was left with only 150 dollars and a need for a semi-automatic weapon. I decided to try this new EBB pistol, which was seemingly getting mixed opinions wherever I looked. However, most reviews by people who actually owned the gun were good, so I decided to take my chances.
I got the gun without incident from Rangers Airsoft, which took about 5 days.
The gun was packaged neatly in the box, with the manual, a small box of Tokyo Marui High-Grade 12g BBs, and, of course, the gun itself. It came with 2 targets, which I used later.
Shotguns vs AEGs?
(Visited 4376 times)There are some who crave the shotgun appeal and wouldn’t mind going head to head with an AEG-wielding opponent. RenegadeC offers us a glimpse of why shotguns should be your primary weapon of choice. As for me, the shotgun may look scary but with no full auto capability, that’s like bringing a knife to a shootout.

Tokyo Marui FA-MAS F1 February 4, 2006

Editor’s Note: Bob the Angry Potato was kind enough to share his review of the Tokyo Marui FA-MAS F1. BTAP says more reviews are on the way (FMC C8, the HFC M190 Full-auto metal version and the Hi-Capa 3.8)
Impressions
I got this gun in the mail today (Courtesy of Peter of AIM, great service! Thanks.), and promptly rushed home to open and try it. The first thing I noticed was the fact that it was quite small. The gun was a bit larger then your average sub-machinegun, yet somehow managed to have a giant inner-barrel that beat almost all other weaponry.
The gun in the case looked fairly plasticy, yet upon picking it up and inspecting it more, there were a few metal parts on the gun (Outer barrel, cocking handle, trigger guard, and a few other things).
What I noticed, however, were the fact that there were 6 SIGHTS in total, used in different combinations for different scenarios.
The 6 different sights were 2 grenade sights (Front and back, then an unrelated one in front of the cocking handle), the front iron sight, and then a rear sight with 3 different settings (Daytime, dusk, and night). This, once one figured it out, was not very confusing (The grenade sights would do fairly well with a rifle grenade set, soon to be purchased).

Classic Army CA33E: A Love Story in the Making February 3, 2006
(Visited 6626 times)The first time I laid my eyes on an image of the CA33E, I knew deep down that I had to have one.
Let me give you a backgrounder. You see, during those days, I was still lingering in that “love-hate” stage with my CA MP5A4. It’s that certain stage in an airsoft relationship when you get to know your gun well enough to be able to take its quirks with the “here-we-go-again” attitude, but you start longingly gazing at your teammate’s new, shiny AEG and having dirty thoughts of holding it by your side as you sleep… It was in this juncture of my relationship with “El Gato Negro” (my MP5) that I “accidentally” stumbled upon a review of the CA33E. There it was, right before my eyes, sleek, seductive, calling out my name. I could not find any valid excuse that would ruin its reputation in my eyes. For days I searched and trawled through the net, hoping to find a major fault, a flaw in its manufacturing, a sob story involving the CA33E. All I found were little kinks, minor, acceptable, liveable with. (more…)

Tokyo Marui MP7A1: 6 Days to the Compact Big Bang
(Visited 14888 times)Six days to go before Tokyo Marui releases to the world its new airsoft technological wonder, the MP7A1.
The Real Steel HK MP7A1 PDW (Personal Defense Weapon) was introduced by Heckler & Koch back in 2001 as a replacement for the military pistol, which is, ultimately, the original purpose of a PDW. It sports a “big bang” for the buck, as its 4.6×30mm hardened-steel-core FMJ (full metal jacket) round can penetrate 22 layers of Kevlar or a Kevlar helmet at 50 yards. It will also reportedly penetrate NATO CRISAT body armor with no trouble, at this distance. Coupled with this strength is its portability, especially the fact that it can be carried in a specially designed hip holster, much like a regular pistol could.
