Another biggie for Alexander of Red Army Airsoft Club to review. He gets his hands on the Snow Wolf Barrett M82A1 Sniper Rifle AEG which is affordable for those who want to own a Barrett Rifle to use in airsoft games. This has decent internals though it is recommended that upgrades are to be done in order to properly use this as a sniper rifle for airsoft games. Find out what Alexander thinks about this in the video review below, that is, if you can understand Russian.
A double barreled Tokyo Marui M870 Shotgun? This is an interesting thing to watch as DesertFox Airoft tries this custom airsotft shotgun done by Trung... "Special thanks to Trung out at High Ground Airsoft in Spring, Texas for letting me use his double barrel Tokyo Marui M870 shotgun. This custom Tokyo Marui M870 shotgun fires 6 BBs from each barrel at ~350 FPS and is powered by high pressure air (HPA).
You can see the air tank back pack on my back in the video."

"Patrol Incident Gear is pleased to introduce the BBC-1 Helmet Bag, a fully padded, full-featured carry case for your Helmet. The PIG BBC-1 Helmet Bag was based on a PIG lab design from years back, and we recently brushed off the dust and upgraded a few features to bring it to market.

A complete review of the Echo1 Troy Industries Battle Rifle is online for everyone to read at the Echo1 USA website... "The Troy Industries Battle Rifle series was introduced in the 2016 SHOTShow and received a huge amount of hype since it will be an up to date Try rifle with the TRX hand guards, Battle Axe stock and all at the fraction of the price if it was pieced together. Once again Echo1USA is working with MadBull Airsoft and a firearms company Troy Industries to make a great rifle for the collector and the player that looks true to life.
This will cover all of your questions about the gearbox and parts used to make this great rifle take only costs around $200 with all these features. If you are in the market for a new M4 rifle this will be your best choice as you will see. This Troy rifle is already upgraded but you can still do more to customize it to your needs."
DrKompas shows a short video of his custom M249 Blowback powered with HPA which looks good to watch and we always prefer HPA for support weapons and blowback makes it even better... "Shooting from prototype of HPA powered GBB conversion for M249 and other airsoft machineguns. 300psi, muzzle energy 3.2J - 5.7J (depends on BB weight)."
For UK-based airsoft players and businesses, an update from the United Kingdom Airsoft Players' Union (UKAPU) on a potential setback for airsoft in the Policing and Crime Bill. An amendment has been tabled to do away with the airsoft exception. Matthew Furey-King writes on the UKAPU Facebook page and we have copied it for everyone to read below:
There has been an unprecedented attack on UK airsoft. Charles Henry John Benedict Crofton Chetwynd Chetwynd-Talbot, 22nd Earl of Shrewsbury(!), President of the Gun Trade Association, has tabled an amendment which aims to do away with the airsoft exception in the Policing and Crime Bill. That means we will not get our promised lethal threshold of 1.3J for full auto and 2.5J for semi auto/single shot, instead, we'll be stuck with the 1J legal limit for airsoft, forever, across the whole of the UK.
This is a replication of the attack we faced earlier in the year from the Gun Control Network, working through Lynn Brown MP. This time, it has gone further and an amendment has been submitted. The Earl of Shrewsbury is a party whip who has vast power, influence, and wealth, who is quite capable of wrecking our hobby by lumping us with a paltry 1J limit (328fps with a .20g BB).
We have two things going for us; One is that we are in the right. The forensic evidence supports our position (as do the government). The other advantage we have is that there are tens of thousands of us and we have a very strong presence on social media. At the moment both UKAPU and UKARA are making enquiries and looking at strategy. Soon we will ask the community to get involved and spread the word. The community is just about all we have to fight with.
We are doing everything in our power and we are preparing a campaign, so please watch our page closely, get the word out and prepare to fight hard for the future of your hobby.
Airsoft does not have the money or influence of the firearms trade. Grass roots lobbying from players is a proven and potent weapon, but this time, we are going to need an overwhelming and enthusiastic response from every single one of you.
This time, we need you, the community to stand with us as one. Together we can spread our message out and beat this latest challenge, but we need you, your friends, and everyone else involved in Airsoft to communicate the same message to those in power.

The Haley Strategic Partners D3CR Series got a new member of the family. The HSP D3CRX... " The NEW Disruptive Environments™ Chest Rig X has been redesigned to improve comfort, storage capabilities and work seamlessly with D3CR accessories. The X harness was added for comfort and ultimate adjustability. The addition of 2 Multi-Mission pouches allows the rig to be more streamlined and carry mission essentials where they count. The full field of velcro allows the rig to be outfitted with the latest D3CR accessories as well as assist in the full contact connection with plate carriers. Just like it's predecessor, it is designed and optimized for work in urban, vehicle, rural and other confined settings.
Driven by mission versatility.
When used as a stand alone, the platform is low profile enough to be worn fully loaded and not print on a normal/loose fit jacket or sweatshirt. When used on a armor platform with a quick release system, such as SwiftClips™, it can be attached or stowed in seconds, giving the end user the versatility to transition from low vis to high vis or vice versa.
The rifle magazine pouches accept AR type magazines as well as AK 7.62 x39mm and 5.45 x 39 magazines. The Multi-Mission Pouches accept 1911, Glock, Sig, M&P, XD and other standard double or single stack pistol magazines, as well as many handheld lights, multi-tools, and 37mm/40mm grenades.
The rig intentionally does not include a radio or dedicated full size medical pouch so no matter the posture, essentials such as communications and medical kits can remain on the end user at all times."
It's nice to see the FNC airsoft version again as USAirsoft reviews the G&G FNC AEG... "I've been wanting to make this review for a long while now and finally it's here for you to enjoy. Let's take a trip back a couple years with the G&G FNC, a full metal long rifle that has been sought after by many collectors but is it something you'd like in your collection? Is it over-hyped or is the respect deserved, you decide with this video today."
MoaiHobby just got the WE SCAR-H Open Chamber GBB Rifle.... "The ONLY GBB SCAR Airsoft Model in the market. It has an Open Bolt System and this is the SCAR-H Black Color Version. It has CNC Aluminum Alloy Upper receiver, reinforced Generation II Metal Bolt Carrier, and has an initial velocity of 380fps."
The title will definitely catch your attention so better find out why The Firearm Blog thinks that handguns suck... "It's no secret, handguns are pretty terrible relative to their larger counterparts at pretty much everything. Gun guys know this, but Hollywood and clueless politicians are responsible or perpetuating the myth that they are much more capable than they really are."
Airsoft GI has this video of a fundraiser held by airsofters in Texas... "After the cowardly attack on Dallas and DART PD officers in July, GI Tactical and D14 Airsoft came together to raise a bunch of money for the Russ Martin Show Listeners Foundation, a charity that supports families of Police Officers, Firefighters, and Emergency Medical Services that have fallen in the line of duty.
Airsoft GI and GI Tactical would like to thank D14 for partnering with us to make this happen, and our incredible community for coming together in a time of need for our brothers in blue!
If you would like to donate, please visit: http://www.russmartin.fm/donate."

DesertFox Airsoft goes to have some fun with tracer BBs when he was at the High Ground Airsosft Summer Palooza with the Umarex HK416C... "Star Wars themed game play from High Ground Airsoft Arena's Airsoft Summer Palooza. The laser blaster effect was done by using a G&G Armament tracer unit with Elite Force .20g glow in the dark BBs."
An interesting product, called the MV System or the Multiple Velocity System is featured by RA-Tech in this video... "The MV system (Multiple Velocity system) for the GHK AR Series GBB. By switching 2 different stainless steel nozzles, the shooter can change FPS from high (410FPS) and low (330FPS)."
eHobby Asia has this video of the just released Hephaestus AMD-65 GBB-R that is available at their online store... "The first completed AMD-65 GBBR on the market. Less than 400 units will be available and no plan to reproduce it again in the near future. Based on GHK AK Gas BlowBack system, excellent out-of-the-box performance and reliability.
Except the Fire Control Assembly, Bolt Carrier Group and HopUp unit, all other parts are newly produced to resemble the appearance of AMD-65. There is a unique serial number on each gun '1' and '∞' selector marking, and steel-made 800-meter rear sight with "A" mark as on the real AMD-65.
The Steel-made parts with refined finishing (QPQ process, the same as GHK AK series) which truly resemble the look and feel of the real AMD-65.
Features:
Package includes AMD-65 GBBR, GHK AKM Gas Magazine, BB Loader and Manual."
