The Swamp Sniper starts first with shooting a real FNX-45 before going into a review of the airsoft version made by Vega Force Company (VFC)... "Swamp Sniper reviewing my new Beast Sidearm, the VFC FNX 45 Tactical airsoft pistol. Using the Real Steel FN Herstal FNX 45 Tactical .45 ACP pistol I compare and review it with the airsoft version, the Cybergun VFC OEM Gas blowback FNX 45. This pistol costs just under $160 and is a perfect replica of the real one. I am not a big fan of green gas as I normally prefer C02 pistols but this one passes the Swamp Sniper test. All specs and details are in the video. Vega Force Company did an excellent job with this airsoft gun. This will make a great sundry weapon for an airsoft sniper."

Ares Striker S1 Review By Patrol Base
Chochlok_airsoft_sniper reviews the Ares Airsoft Amoeba Striker S1 Sniper Rifle for UK-based retailer Patrol Base... "ARES - Amoeba 'STRIKER' S1 Sniper Rifle - Black is an Airsoft 6mm BB Sniper Rifle designed by ARES as the ultimate starter Entry Range Rifle. The Rifle is constructed with a Polymer Body, Stock and Magazine with an Alloy Rail, Barrel, Trigger System, Internals and Rail.
The weapon has multiple features only expected in more High End Sniper Rifles, such as a Top-Down Hop-Up, Short Bolt Pull and Cocked Warning Marker. The weapons biggest feature, is that it is easy to strip, taking the bolt out with a single pin, and also uses AEG springs, which are more common and easy to acquire than Sniper Springs and features and also features an internal barrel stabilizer.
The weapon comes supplied with a 45 Round Mid-Cap Magazine, giving more shots than other sniper rifles, and easily slides into place and is guided by Magazine Guides for easy insertion. The weapon also features an Ambidextrous Magazine Release, which releases not only from the Magazine Well, but is also extended to the Trigger Guard, which means that you can use your index finger to release the Magazine for a smoother reload.
The body of the weapon is constructed to be as ergonomic as possible, with a curved body for a better hold, and features a removable grip plate which can be exchanged for other sizes. The front of the weapon also features a Standard Universal Bipod Swivel, allowing for a range of Bipods to be used, as well as a 22mm Clockwise Threaded outer barrel for attaching suppressors when a thread adaptor is used.
This is the perfect rifle for anyone looking to get into Sniping, as it features many Advanced features for a low price."
GBLS DAS M4 vs AKR74M & Masada GBB
Moon Jonggyu test the GBLS DAS M4, the latest airsoft gun to come out of South Korea against the PTS Masada GBB-R and the KWA AKR74M ERG. The DAS M4 which is a electric blowback AEG that can be taken down like a Gas Blowback Rifle, and it is tested in terms of performance against these products from two known airsoft brands. We do like the format in which they conducted the test. It should be something that other airsoft YouTubers would like to look into:
Futuristic Airsoft Riot Shield Build
Callsign: Reach shows you how to make a futuristic riot shield for use in airsoft in this video... "Kevin decided to record and edit a three day riot shield build that we did and managed to inject the whole thing full of memes. The whole shield is made out of polycarbonate sheets that are highly resistant to BBs, so it's lightweight, transparent and easy to use with a sidearm. It's also got some weird angles to satisfy my deep-seated cyberpunk fetish and managed to pepper my neighbor with some .20 ricochet.
Interested in buying a shield like this? I might be able to part with one for a couple of gold dubloons. Leave a comment or shoot me an email if you're interested in us building YOU a custom riot shield.
Thanks to Kevin Krznar for editing and collaborating on the build."

BB2K Airsoft Review: Wowtac A1S Flashlight
It's flashlights this time for Bruce to review for BB2K Airsoft and he takes on the Wowtac A1S Flashlight if he can use it for airsoft and his outdoor/indoor adventures... "The Wowtac A1S (ATactical is the old company name) is in my opinion a real secret tip when it comes to a cheap and powerful flashlight. The S version comes with 1150 Lumens and offers everything also the A1 has. The A1S from Wowtac is more than a all-rounder flashlight that makes fun in the dark."

Custom Marui M4 MWS Low Temp Test
Ken 927 got another custom gun test online and he tests the Tokyo Marui M4A1 MWS Gas Blowback at low temperatures. This means that he put the gas magazine in refrigderator at -minus 18 degrees Celcius for 15 minutes though after taking out the magazine, the temperature on the magazine is 0 degrees. That's still cold enough to find out if there is an effect on the firing of the gas magazine.
