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.

Double Eagle M86 (AK47) February 6, 2006
(Visited 22694 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 12170 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 11502 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 4614 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).

Tokyo Marui MP7A1: 6 Days to the Compact Big Bang
(Visited 15839 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.

KJ Works M700 Takedown Review January 22, 2006
(Visited 8132 times)
How does the KJ Works M700 compare with the Tanaka Works M700? If price is a big factor, airsoft snipers will be wise to go with this baby. At US$200.00, the KJ Works version is a sniper rifle worth considering even without TW’s patented Power Control System (PCS).
KJ’s M700 series is actually a clone on Tanaka’s products and marketed with a much lower price. Currently all Tanaka’s sniper rifles included the pressure control system (PCS) for adjusting the amount of air flow and the fire power. KJ’s M700 series adopted the last generation of TW’s product, which are those without the PCS. Build materials and design are more or less the same, and, fortunately or unfortunately, BB magazines between KJ and TW are not interchangeable.

Role Costs: Support vs Sniper
(Visited 3257 times)A thread over at Airsoft Core is discussing cost implications of being an airsoft support or sniper role player. With too many factors to consider (player’s preference for high end vs. low end brands, etc.), it’s safe to say that both roles cost more than the traditional rifleman role.
As any well informed airsofter knows the roles of support and sniper are the most expensive roles in airsoft. Support in needing of an LMG for the SAW. (I think I used the terms right.) And a sniper needing to deck and fine tune his sniper rifle. My question of the day is which one costs more? Im not asking stock weapons, Im asking with upgrades and accessories and any physical modification to the gun for it to reach its maximum potential. Also any gear needed to fulfill each role (i.e. sidearm for sniper, ghille suit, box mag for LMG) Top quality for everything. For LMGs Im expecting something along the lines of M249, I dont feel that conversions cut it. What guns Ill leave you guys to decide (Im not sure what all of them are anyway, nor will I be able to choose the right one if i did.) It seems like a close call but I think support is more expensive. But I really don’t know, being low on knowledge with sniper rifles and even lower on LMGs. I would like to see which one is.
