It looks like BOLT Airsoft is not the only Taiwan-based airsoft manufacturer making their own AK AEG with blowback and recoil. In a video posted by the Kevin Lin, the CEO of LCT Airsoft, he gives a dry fire demo of an LCT AK AEG with blowback and recoil features. Both look impressive, especially the kick of the AEG.
This makes LCT Airsoft to be third company to feature blowback and recoil in an AK AEG and that means even more choices for airsoft players world wide.
Should they be treated differently? As we want more female players, some might be unsure how to treat them whilst on the field. With equality of gender being important, it is best to be sure to ask them as well how they would like to be treated and ensure that there are facilities for them to use in the field. Jonathan Higgs takes this question and others in this Airsoftology Q&A episode:

More on the EMG SAI BLU Pistol that Evike.com expect to be on their shelves next month... "Designed, manufactured and marketed, entirely in house by Salient Arms, the SAI BLU is the first production handgun from SAI. Using feedback from real world users, Salient Arms developed the SAI BLU to fill the void between M&P ergonomics and Glock reliability. With aggressive cocking serrations, ergonomically designed grip and trigger guard and interchangeable backstraps the SAI BLU is designed to perform under the most rigorous and austere of conditions, no matter what the shooter requires of it.
EMG has furthered their collaboration with Salient Arms International with the long awaited EMG BLU. Designed closely with the geniuses at SAI, the EMG / SAI BLU is designed to be as close to the real thing as possible offering shooters and enthusiasts the most realistic training analog available. Featuring a durable polymer frame, machined aluminum slide and barrel assembly and interchangeable backstraps, the EMG / SAI BLU not only looks like its real deal cousin, it feels like it as well. Authentic rollmarks and branding top off the look, making it almost impossible to differentiate the 6mm version, from the 9mm version.

Evike.com got in stock the Matrix Elite M9 GBB Pistol. A clone of the Tokyo Marui M9 GBB, you got some choices of black and silver or full metal or not... "Derived from the venerable M92FS, the American Military spec. M9 pistol was the next iteration of the standard issue US military sidearm. When slated for replacement, the 1911 platform had already served the US for over 50 years. With a possible war with the Soviets on the horizon, the Pentagon began a search for a new service pistol chambered in 9X19mm to reduce ammunition supply chain issues with NATO. Of all the competing designs, the Beretta M9 won all three competitions and was adopted by all branches in 1985.
The M9 is a short recoil, semi-automatic, single-action / double-action pistol that uses a 15-round staggered box magazine with a reversible magazine release button that can be positioned for either right- or left-handed shooters. The M9 is used with the Bianchi M12 Holster, though other holsters are often used. The military specific changes include corrosion resistant finish, hard chromed barrel, modified trigger guard and universal components.
