Fludblud does a detailed review of the WE Airsoft M712 Gas Blowback Pistol... "Here is the review of my latest purchase the WE M712 GBB, an automatic variant of the legendary Mauser C96. Overall I found it to be a solidly built and highly responsive GBB with an absurdly fast rate of fire. Its ergonomics may not be of this century (or the last) but its snappy report still makes it a formidable force in a skirmish.
A bonus is that with the C96 being 120 years old this year, this airsoft gun also ranks as the oldest design I have and the same likely goes for most airsofters out there, a must have for history buffs especially with the upcoming Battlefield 1 just around the corner."
A long list of newly stocked items at eHobby Asia as they sent in news that fully-licensed EMG SAI GRY M4 GBB is now available at their online store.

"The RWC series (Redwolf Custom) have been quiet for a while, but now RW have decided to make a comeback with some fully upgraded guns, both internally and externally, which will save you the trouble and give you performance of top notch upgraded AEGs.
The RWC Umarex SMR 416 is a fully modified top of the line AEG with the following upgrades:
The RWC Umarex SMR 416 with the above upgrades enhances the external appearances, tactical applications , stability in power, endurance of the gearbox and trigger response with the famous ASCU Gen4 Mosfet. Every pull of the trigger you know you will have a consistent power output of 400 fps and no trigger slack like traditional AEGs. Also being based on the Umarex Asia Edition HK416 itself, you could expect it to have the licensed authentic markings and marked in cal 5.56mm instead of the cal.6mm in other versions."
How To Clear A Room In Three Easy Steps? Watch this video from Airsoft GI showing airsoft players doing room clearing as part of their Black Friday Sale promo. There will be debate on why there is no minimum engagement distance in the video, but for now just watch how these airsoft players did it.

Armed drones in airsoft are coming! Aslan Zhaparov posts the video of the Project M.A.R.S. Airsoft Drone last month and it is an awesome companion to bring to the field. If you need to flush out a stubborn OPFOR, then call for this drone. Armed with an M249 and the remote pilote with an FPV to have a good view of the task at hand, this should be a game changer in the field.
Game organisers better start discussing rules on the use of such drones and how they can be taken out of the game by players without actually destroying them.
An in-depth review of the new Krytac MKII CRB and SPR AEGs is done by VIPAirsoft in this video... "The new Krytac MkII's deserve a long and in-depth review to talk about how great it is for a company to make these small changes. I do hope you stay for that discussion, but if you're only interested in the pure review, that's fine as well. Just give these fantastic guns a look, and find @KrytacArms and @KrissArms on Instagram and elsewhere, and let them know how great it is that they've done this."
Matt checks out the Armorer Works Custom AW-HX2201 Gold Standard IPSC GBB Pistol in this "The Gun Corner" video of Evike.com... "Armorer Works Custom strives to provide Airsofters with high quality guns that come directly from the factory already upgraded. Armorer Works does not simply change the finish of the gun and label it as "custom". Each gun that leaves Armorer Works has been modified with enhanced features that truly improve the comfort, performance and efficiency of the gun as well as cosmetic upgrades that are not generally seen in an out of the box gun. Custom finishes, improved grips, sights and ergonomic modifications as well as improved performance and gas efficiency are hallmarks of the dedication Armorer Works puts into providing their clients with the highest quality Airsoft products possible.
