The APS Silver Edge Gearbox has greatly improved the APS AEGS that were released after its introduction. The APS team has been busy working on improving on it and their efforts paid off with the eSilver Edge gearbox wich comes with a Super Dynamic Unit (SDU) chip and Micro Switch Trigger that gives even better trigger response. More information has been revealed below:
"eSilver Edge Gear Box
After years of development, APS finally released their first Electronic Gear Box, named eSilver Edge Gear Box. A micro chip (Super Dynamic Unit) S.D.U.™ that works together with magnet gears set, reinforced piston, quick change spring guide and micro switch trigger that gives you instant trigger response when shooting. Below are the features of this eSilver Edge Gear Box:
Outstanding GearBox Specification:
Based on our design and testing, eSilver Edge Gear Box works perfectly under 7.4v to 12.5v. The current are always stable at <11 Amps in any voltages between 7.4v to 12.5v. Low and stable Amps means it drains less battery and the lifespan of the components could last longer.
Use of Advanced S.D.U.™ chips
The S.D.U.™ chipset that used in eSilver Edge Gear Box has a unique function that stop the gearbox from further damage if electric current is too high. Simply to say, electric current / Ampere will increase if there is a malfunction inside the gearbox. For instant, bad motor, damaged gears or short circuit. When our S.D.U. detected more than 5 trigger presses in exceed Amps, the whole gearbox will shut down to prevent further damage. User has to disconnect and then reconnect the power supply to reboot the gearbox, we strongly recommended user to check the internal immediately if mal-function happened.
Micro Switch Trigger
eSilver Edge Gear Box standard comes with micro switch trigger works together with the S.D.U.™, providing you an instant trigger response when shooting. Base on our testing, the response time of the switch is just 0.02 sec, with the short stroke design of the trigger, it is unbelievable fast and you won’t feel any trigger delay when shooting.
Reinforced parts
APS standard Silver Edge Gear Box has long been famous in its durability. APS eSilver Edge Gear Box further develop its strength, our electronic parts could works between -20°C to 80°C and our mechanical parts could works between -40°C to 85°C. The gear box shell is reinforced, it works under M190 spring used. The rear wires of the gearbox were braided with PET sleeving provides extra protection for the wires. eSilver Edge gearbox standard comes with full steel teeth piston that increase the durability of gearbox too.
Ambidextrous design
There are several electronic gearbox manufacturers in the market but none of them come with Ambidextrous design. APS eSilver edge gearbox revolutionary made an electronic gearbox that could be used in Ambidextrous guns, it works perfectly on APS Ambidextrous rifle fully compatible with V2 Gearbox in the market.
To conclude, APS eSilver Edge Gear box has so many advance features that it will sooner become one of the best gearbox in the market. The Electronic S.D.U is replaceable, repairing is easy and friendly. It comes with Dean’s plug but optionally convertible to Tamiya plug with EBB / AEG function base on request (MOQ 20pcs). Parts are TM compatible, which means further upgrade is available if needs."
It's now official. Yesterday, SIG SAUER released two press items that are airsoft related. What we have been aware for sometime now is that the company are planning to enter the airsoft market on their own. Their announcement confirms this as they end the licensing of SIG-branded Airsoft and Airgun products and the release of two airsoft guns under their SIG AIR ProForce Airsoft Line . This means that Cybergun do not hold the license to product SIG products for the airsoft market anymore.
Press release below:
The next is the introduction of the SIG AIR ProForce Airsoft Line for Professional Training with the ProForce M17 and P229 Airsoft Pistols. We wonder if WE Airsoft are the OEM for ProForce Airsoft Line given that they have the F226 (P226) and M17 GBB Pistols with the latter we spotted on display at the WE Airsoft booth during the MOA 2018 in Taipei.
SIG SAUER Introduces the SIG AIR ProForce Airsoft Line for Professional Training
NEWINGTON, N.H., (January 17, 2019) – SIG SAUER is pleased to introduce the new, high-end SIG AIR ProForce airsoft line for professional training. SIG AIR ProForce products are designed as replicas of their centerfire counterparts in look, balance and handling characteristics and engineered to SIG standards for precision, accuracy, and reliability. Initial SIG AIR ProForce airsoft pistol offerings include the M17 airsoft pistol and P229 airsoft pistol.
“The SIG AIR ProForce line of airsoft guns is designed for professionals who train frequently and want the option of training safely in realistic force-on-force scenarios,” said Joseph Huston, Vice President and General Manager of SIG AIR. “SIG SAUER is a huge proponent of training, and we will continue to offer our customers numerous new product options to facilitate the safe practice of gun handling and target shooting in various environments.”
The new SIG AIR ProForce M17 airsoft pistol is similar in look and feel to the U.S. Army issued P320- M17 9mm pistol and features a polymer frame and metal slide with full blow-back action. The proprietary drop magazine holds 21 rounds of 6mm polymer or biodegradable BBs. An adjustable hop-up feature creates spin on the BBs for additional stabilization in flight, resulting in increased distance and accuracy. A picatinny accessory rail allows for quick and easy mounting of a laser or tactical flashlight.
Available in two power source options – 12g CO2 cartridge or green gas – the SIG M17 Airsoft pistol will be available with an optional optic plate mount for red dot sights. Velocity is up to 330 fps with muzzle energy of 1 joule (using a .20-gram polymer BB); however, results may vary depending on temperature and altitude. Available in Coyote Tan.

The drop magazine holds 25 rounds of 6mm polymer or biodegradable BBs and a picatinny accessory rail allows for the mounting of a laser or tactical flashlight.

Airsoft Nation reviews the airsoft grenade offering from Action Sport Games (ASG), the Storm 360... "BB grenades might not have the guaranteed room clearance like Blank-Firing grenades, but it’s way more rewarding hearing 100+ BBs fly around claiming HITs when you toss one in.
For countries that don’t allow blanks, or players who are under 18 it’s a great alternative, and personally a lot more satisfying.As it’s name suggests, the ASG Storm 360 Impact Grenade; hits the ground, exploding into a spinning frenzy while launching 165 BBs in a full 360 degrees.
Let’s look at what’s in the box."

You'll just need to select the HPA engine and rig you want to power this and take it to the next airsoft game.]
Forgotten Weapons feature the G11 rifle from Heckler & Koch in this video. Will the German company allow Umarex to have an airsoft version of it? We sure hope so... "I have been waiting for a long time to have a chance to make this video - the Heckler & Koch G11! Specifically, a G11K2, the final version approved for use by the West German Bundeswehr, before being cancelled for political and economic reasons.
The G11 was a combined effort by H&K and Dynamit Nobel to produce a new rifle for the German military with truly new technology. The core of the system was the use of a caseless cartridge developed in the late 60s and early 70s by Dynamit Nobel, which then allowed H&K to design a magnificently complex action which could fire three rounds in a hyper-fast (~2000 rpm) burst and have all three bullets leave the barrel before the weapon moved in recoil."

Just how budget friendly, you ask? Watch and find out."
The GHK SG 553 GBBR gets joined by the longer SG 551 Tactical GBBR that you can find right now at RedWolf Airsoft... "The SG 550 family is a gun manufactured by firearms maker Swiss Arms a former division of Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft. The SG 551 is a variant of the SG 550 with a shorter gas tube and different handguard. Several different versions were then spun off from the 551 over the years which brings us to the one we have today.
The 551 functions much like its shorter brother the 553 with the same firing modes (semi, three rd burst, full auto) and touts the same ergonomics. The 551 being a longer gun has a longer sight radius and rail system on its handguard allowing the direct adaptation of accessories such as grips, lights, lasers, or different optics.
The gun is a GHK product, which means superb gas efficiency and feel. The GHK system is renown for being one of the best in terms of maximizing the gas output of their GBBRs and providing realistic shooting experiences as close as possible to the real deal.
About GHK:
Famed Taiwanese airsoft manufacturer GHK as been known to make some of the best performing and gas efficient gas blowback rifles available on the market. Starting off with bringing some of the best AK GBBRs to market GHK quickly became the industry standard when talking about said platform. Not satisfied with just being the leader of the GBBR AK market they quickly branched out and took the GBB AR market by storm. With their engineering know-how they rose to the top of the game as well, making he GHK M4 a highly sought after product.
Includes:
The Heckler & Koch MP5 will get Magpulized, if ever there is a word for what Magpul will be releasing later this year... "We all owe a debt of gratitude to roller delayed blowback firearms. In particular, Heckler & Koch GmbH's legendary MP5 family. They've saved the presidency, exposed the Matrix and stopped a relentless Alien hunter. Here at Magpul, we are paying our respects with all-new products for this awesome platform. Coming Late 2019."
Rich is back with a new episode of the Eagle6 Airsoft Q&A Show to talk about airsoft tech stuff... "In today's episode we answer more of your questions submitted by you the customers. If you have any more questions tech related or otherwise please put them in the comments below for next week and thank you so much for your support in helping us grow."
WhispTech talks about the Slimline CO2 Pouch he designed in cooperation with OneTigris... "This was an idea that I brought up awhile back but think forgotten in all the hustle of the site. I have searched high and low for even a shotgun shell holder of this design but usually because for shells hold 12, or even 1tg 7 and all different designs but not really meant for co2 however can be used.
As an airsofter we sometimes have to carry co2 be it for my rifle or for my pistol. However I don't need to carry 12 co2 and even 6/7 is unnecessary so designed this low profile pouch to be worn either on belt or plate carrier that holds 4 co2 cartriges which is plenty. For my rifle thats roughly 120 shots per each canister or 3-4 pistol mags worth at roughly 25 shots per mag so 100 shots. That is why we don't need so many. 3-4 to carry as backup for refill is plenty. "
