WGC Shop updates: Again, I have received another email from WGC's Shop. New to their stock list are some more parts from 'KJ', and a handy metal slide for the new SVFs from WesternArms.

TokyoHobby are busy! TokyoHobby, a new an upcoming sales site in Japan, have come under heavy interest simply because they sell equipment at low prices (Japanese street prices) for export. I am personally awaiting a delivery from them this week.

TokyoHobby are dealing with all their emails, and will reply to all of them, so please do not send them more simply because you haven't received a reply - it will slow the whole process down for both yourself and others.

To all of you awaiting orders/confirmations from them, here's the latest from their head-honcho Miki Nakamura.

"... Thank you for your e-mail and feedback. It is now three weeks since the release of the website and we have got trendemous response in form of e-mails and orders, even more than we anticipated.

We have been shipping products according to paid customers and first succesfull deliveries have been verified by our customers from Europe and United States.

Best regards,

Airsoft Canada now back up: Primus, the webmaster of AirsoftCanada, has emailed me to say that they're new website has gone online. It's not all finished yet, but all the important stuff is there, which includes their news and reviews sections.

You can find the Airsoft Canada website at their new and catchy address: http://www.airsoftcanada.com .

New AE MP5 review: Pikachoad over @ AirsoftPlayers has been kind enough to email me with the news that they now have online their new review of the V2 Airsoft Elite MP5.

"...This gun is anticipated to sell for around $360, before shipping. Is it worth it? As always, this is a decision for you to decide. If you are looking for a full metal MP5, which a lot of people seem to be doing nowadays, and you EVER plan on doing any work on the gun, I cannot stress enough how handy the takedown feature of this metal body is..."

WGC Shop updates: There's a few new offers over at WGC's Shop. New to their stock list are quite a few parts, and curiously, a rather cheap Glock27 from KJ Works.

Gremlin GunWorx: I came across a link around the forums at kechara.net, and again over at Squad-X , so I thought I'd make a post here too, for you guys (and galls) to have a read and drool over. Andy, from Team Gremlin is a bit of an 'Airsoft-smith', and will take orders for custom made replicas. Fancy a nice EOD (End of Days)MP5 ? Why not give them a look over ?

Another new review! Well I've been at it again.. sitting here HTML editing instead of going to bed, but I just thought I'd get this done and dusted, as it was meant to have gone online ages ago.

It's a good review, the text and photos were submitted to us by JamesWilson (aka Jimmy). Funnily enough I think you'll find this TMP for sale in our forums.

Go and have a read - as usual you can find the review in the 'reviews' section. Doh!

Ilendil's page updated: Ilendil has updated his page with new info. (This is a good thing, I thought he'd gone missing or something)

It looks like he's just bought a new CA Heckler & Koch MP5 Navy to add to his collection. Do go and have a look under 'guns' at his site for some more MP5 specs and information.

New review! I've finally got some spare time to blast through this review and get it online (I've got two more to do). This great Glock18c review was kindly submitted to me by Andrew Wagstaff (aka "TheGeneral"). Here's a brief snippet of the review:

"...I’ve had quite a bit of experience with GBB, some small pistols to some enormous ones. The longer barrelled replicas seem to shoot further and more accurately. Well I can safely say that this replica beats all of the ones I’ve used... A full auto pistol is something not to miss out on and in my view it is one of the best quality full auto GBBs out there."

WGC Shop updates: There's a few new offers over at WGC's Shop , nothing of real interest, but if you're after a new AE AEG in the US, then the extra warranty will be useful:

STTI USP Tactical GBB Pistol review: I've been kindly informed by Alvin 'vaxc3' Hu that he's written a nice new review for AirsoftRetreat. Here's a brief snippet:
"When I first open the box to take out the pistol, it was like, wow. The gun is very well built for being an airsoft product made in Taiwan. The magazine for the pistol consists of almost 60% of the gun's weight. The gun is not exactly comfortable for the grip nor is it designed for smaller hands..."

Now with a little modification... and some careful design, the'd make great replicas of Lara's (TombRaider) pistols.. hmmm

MK23 Phase 2 review: Club Michelle have again been playing with some new toys. This time they've managed to get in stock the limited edition 'MK23 SOCOM PISTOL / Phase 2 PROTO-TYPE' from KSC.

This new model from KSC is a limited edition annual run of 2000 pieces. The new Phase 2 differs from the original HW GBB KSC release in that it sports differing markings throughout (US stamps, original HK logos and serial numbers), new carvings on the slide and improved sights. As ever this replica is 100% faithful to the original HK production.

Power is expected to equal that of a stock TM AEG, and the price is listed as 21,500 Yen (122GBP / 173USD).

The BIG Airsoft Quiz
? ? ?

WASP Team website update: It seems that a few people I know have been rather bored of late, or have far too much free time; as the WASP's team website has been given a huge overhaul.

Hatchet's Guide to airsoft: Hatchet's website is one of the best 'newbie' websites in the business, and it just goes to prove that us UK Airsofters do have a decent sense of humour.

Hatchet's taken some time to update his website with a new glossary page (handy for all those stupidly obscure military acronyms. FIBUA - eh?), and a new review of the Glock18c (If you can find where he's put it that is...).

To save you hours of browsing, you'll find a tiny text link in the top 1/3 of the 'Weapons' page, that takes you to the G18c review. Oh.. one mental note, the G18c isn't bent, it's just he took the photos up close with a camera, which produced those rather funky photo effects, that make the barrel look warped.
