Where to Shop in Hong Kong
(Visited 9769 times)When airsoft shopping in Hong Kong, follow this advice from menatarms over at Arnies Airsoft:
You need look no further than what I termed “Airsoft Central” (not to be confused with “Central” or financial district/downtown on Hong Kong island) located in “Mongkok” district on the Kowloon Peninsula. To get there take the MTR metro and exit “E” and get on to “Sai Yeung Choi” Street. Head towards “Dundas” street, then to “Gwan Wah” street. On Gwan Wah street you will have located “Guns & Guys”, “DenTrinity”, and “Tokyo Model”. Locat at No.1 Gwan Wah Street ground floor of the building, you will find more shops, including Modern Model Company and WAR4. On Dundas Street there is also ARM FORCES shop. Might I suggest lunch or a snack at BOOM ARMS CAFE, an Airsoft themed restaurant that also sells guns & accessories. UNCompany is located on Wan Chai street in “Wan Chai” district on Hong Kong island side; it’s a little out of the way AFA being located away from the rest of the AS shops, but you can take the MTR to Wan Chai and get on to Wan Chai street (you may wanna call first for directions from MTR as it is bit of a walk).

KJ Works M700 Takedown Review
(Visited 7617 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.

Airsoft Pranks in Schools
(Visited 988 times)Yet another piece of bad publicity for our beloved sport. The student in question obviously wasn’t smart enough to know that with authorities a little tight because of the Florida shooting incident, any stupid stunt would likely warrant a similar response from authorities. He’s lucky to be alive.
A 17-year-old Forks High School student with a toy handgun prompted a 15-minute school-wide lockdown in Forks on Wednesday.
The male student allegedly aimed and fired a spring airsoft gun containing plastic projectiles at several friends in the high school parking lot, according to the Forks Police Department.
The student was being held Thursday at the Clallam County Juvenile Detention Center in Port Angeles, and law enforcement officials are considering possible criminal charges.
“Toy guns that look real at schools . . . is not funny, and it is not a game,'’ Forks Police Chief Mike Powell said in a press release.
“Serious and deadly consequences can result in this type of activity.'’

Role Costs: Support vs Sniper
(Visited 2673 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.
New UTG Guns Under Development
(Visited 5154 times)Airsoft Atlanta has the lowdown on the next generation of UTG guns to be released in 2006:
I thought I would give you an update on what’s going on behind the scenes at UTG. Keep in mind that the products are not yet in production, but will give you an idea of what’s around the corner.
As for AEGs, they are working on their version of the AK Beta. This is the AK with the black furniture and the shortened frontend. It also looks like they will be releasing a new MP5A4 model with a flashlight foreend and a G3 SAS clone with a fullstock. There also appears to be a UTG AEP on the horizon as well - an electric USP model. We are looking forward to reviewing each of the new guns as they become available.
On the springer side of things, it looks like UTG will release a spring version of both the AK47 and the AK Beta. And they will also be releasing an extended magazine for the UTG 870 shotguns.
