ChrissyG on the forums has been kind (and lucky!) enough to be given one of Gunfire’s new range of rifles to review.
You’ll have to read the full review for all of the details, but here’s an extract:
Recently, a package arrived at my door containing a new gun which I am reviewing on behalf of Gunfire in Poland (www.gunfire.pl). The package was to contain a brand new M4-A1 clone which retails for the price of 195.83 Euros (around £177). As with every time any of us recieve a new gun, I tore open the box to find a brow plain cardboard box with some "Gunfire" advertising on it and lifted the lid…

All in all the rifle looks quite promising, with the inclusion of a mosfet as standard quite a selling feature given the increasing popularity of them in all high-performance AEGs.

Josh from Gunman has been in touch with details of the latest in their series of Iron Cross WW2 games:
Iron Eagle – ‘Eastern Front - Border Battle’
Suddenly and without warning, early on the morning of 22 June 1941, over three million Axis forces lunged across the Soviet state border and commenced Hitler’s infamous Operation Barbarossa. Spearheaded by four powerful panzer groups and protected by an impenetrable curtain of air support, the seemingly invincible Wehrmacht advanced from the Soviet Union’s western borders to the immediate outskirts of
Leningrad, Moscow, and Rostov in the shockingly brief period of less than six months.
Faced with this sudden, deep, and relentless German advance.
The first of the Eastern Front battles will see the German advance into Russia, with Minsk in sight, can the Red Army hold of the advance of the superior German war machine.
The first game will be an Ops weekend at Tuddenham, it will be Russian vs German (no Brit or US) but i’m happy for you to use any 2ww weapons or Bolt actions;) Kit wise, if you have nothing, ill have a pile of russian and german clothing to rent out FREE!
More info to follow!
What is Iron Eagle?
The Iron Eagle campaign is based on a German Advance rather than the Allied D-Day battle which are more Allied based games. We have chosen the Eastern front to add a new dynamic to 2ww Airsoft and using the same format as D-Day, there will be Operations weekends followed by main battles at fitting sites and all the stops will get pulled out to make every weekend truly memorable. Hope to see you all in the field.

No, not really. Ting from RMW has instead set up a new company specialising in equipment for those of you insane enough to not only own Eastern bloc kit:
As you may know, Rhino is a spinned off from Russian Mania Workshop. We are now working hard to fill up the warehouse. 
Here are some products online, they are the Prime CNC Metal Body for WA M4 GBB with Colt Defence trademark. The new metal body also has a different color coating which is semi gross black which is more realistic than before.
http://www.rhinoairsoft.com/details.asp?ProdId=PRIME_MB_WA03&cat=8
The other one is the Bomber custom M16VN GBB, if you are Vietnam fans, don’t miss this great replica, the upper and lower receiver are both made by CNC process, to remind you, this is limited edition.
http://www.rhinoairsoft.com/details.asp?ProdId=BM_M16A1VN_GBB&cat=2
Furthermore, we just stock in the Bomber speed bolt for WE SCAR, the original WE SCAR bolt is made by steel which is very heavy. Hence ROF is comparatively slow. Bomber has made an aluminium version speed bolt so that the ROF of the SCAR after installed the speed bolt is dramatically increased. This is especially obvious when using japan 134a gas.
http://www.rhinoairsoft.com/details.asp?ProdId=BM_SCAR_BOLT&cat=5
We do offer discount when you buy a WE SCAR with the speed bolt. So, you can install the speed bolt in CQB game with weaker gas so your enemy won’t hurt too much and use green gas in jungle for longer effective shooting range.
About Magpul-PTS, just a quick update, the long waiting Magpul ACS stock will be available next week, Rhino Airsoft is now taking pre-order.
The Magpul PTS ACS (Adaptive Carbine/Storage) is a drop-in replacement for the standard M4 AEG stock body.

Having returned from another memorable film-sim game organised by Gunman Airsoft (with thanks to First and Only for offering up The Asylum), I thought it was only fair to this time write a review.
The review is extremely honest, and quite detailed. If you don’t have time to read the whole thing, here’s an extract:
I’ve tried to be as honest as possible about this event, and what I hope comes out of this is that the event was a greatly enjoyable and a very memorable experience from the perspective of the Communist troups. I’ve been highly impressed by Gunman’s Filmsim events (so much so that I’ve attended every Cold War event so far, and intend to continue doing so, despite the lengthy drive down to Suffolk / Kidderminster), and I’ve yet to experience sim events of this calibre elsewhere. There’s few people so committed to getting the experience right that they would plough cash into buying considerable kit for people to use, and this is reflected in the experience I’ve had at each of their games.

A repeat I know, but I thought you’d all like to get a second nosey at my ugly mug being humiliated on Redwolf TV.
Whilst on holiday in HK I was asked to pay a visit to Red Wolf Airsoft’s Headquarters. I didn’t quite expect a full Top Gear-esque interview and challenge – especially with a pistol I’ve never used before in a climate I’m unfamiliar with and with a whole other arsenal of excuses to boot, but…Hey, just watch the video.
I should warn you that there’s a lot of talking. If you’re the type who flicks through a book and just looks at the pictures, skip to the actual challenge at 6:00 and prepare to be…er…amazed.
Embarrassing, yes, but it speaks for itself really. I also bought a GHK AKS74 whilst at their HQ – I couldn’t resist, with them lying around. The review can be found here.

As promised, here’s the start of my review of the newly released GHK AKS74 variant:
While on my recent visit to Redwolf in Hong Kong, as unfortunately chronicled here, I was lucky enough to be shown around. One of the main things that caught my eye was some of the first of the freshly released GHK AKS74 and AK74M variants, which I covered in a recent news post. I couldn’t leave without buying one of them, and with my recent love of all things Afghan War era, it had to be the AKS74 I went for!
To make things more interesting I compared the GHK AKS74 to the Dboys Variant upon which its externals are based.

There’s been a lot of speculation over the Association of British Airsoft (AOBA), the latest in a series of UK airsoft organisations to spring up in the wake of the Violent Crime Reduction Act, after a number of people wandered across its website address.
Mathew Jarmain, Director of the new organisation has just forwarded us a press release by their Secetary, which hopefully might help clarify the purpose and intent of the organisation:
I would like to introduce ourselves and announce the formation of the Association of British Airsoft the AOBA.org.net

Freddie Drennan - Junior Airsofter/Graphics/Film
The Association of British Airsoft is run by players, for the players; the non-profit organisations main aim being to bring benefits to Airsoft players; whilst also educating the public and promoting the sport as a whole.
Membership with the AOBA brings a whole host of benefits for players, including full and comprehensive personal insurance, all members will be provided with an authentic registration card that will allow you to avail yourself of the VCRA defence and permit you to buy RIF’s. Also available is free legal advice to any player who finds themselves needing it.

We’ve been contacted with details of an airsoft two day event being run on behalf of the veterans support charity Help for Heroes:
In association with conflictzone-airsoft.co.uk and by kind permission of Mr & Mrs Parry, we are proud to present- THE BATTLE OF DAWES HILL!
The event will be held on the 19th & 20th of September and all proceeds from this event will be donated to the Help For Heroes charity.
The 2 day event comprises of missions in woodland areas and in specially constructed night game arenas, featuring special effects from TLSFX events team.
The setting is a varied site, in the shadow of Rampisham Down Radio Station in Dorset. The area incorporates - deep woodland, saplings, tall trees clearings, many natural and man made defences and an open "no mans land" area for night game which be filled with various obstacles.
Two opposing teams will fight for control of the woods whilst simultaneously completing missions to gather information & missiles to eliminate the enemy. non combatant actors will be in action throughout the weekend to add extra realism to the event.

For more information view the event’s website.
Just been made aware by Jimmy at Red Wolf Airsoft that GHK have several new GHK rifles in stock:
These have been long awaited by me, so I’m sure they have by others:
The AK105 replica may have been on on sale for a few days now, but the AK74M and AKS74 (dubbed AK74NM and AK74N)
I’m collecting an AKS74 hopefully on Monday in HK. I’ll post a detailed review as soon as I get home.
Yes, that’s right. Josh at Gunman has pulled off a bit of a coup this summer. After his success with Red Mist one last year, Gunman Airsoft have managed to land not one but three seperate events this late summer – autumn at the vast MOD STANTA site in Norfolk.
Having attended the previous Red Mist event at the Eastmere Village section of the site and the practice weekender for Red Mist 2, I can heartily recommend Gunman Events as being some of the most enjoyable around – and for me they are unparalled in enjoyment among any of the mil / film sim events I have participated in. I travel 300 miles each time, so you can’t say fairer than that as a recommendation!
Free Kit Hire
For those of you worried about getting kit together for any of these game, Gunman also offers free kit hire for these events, meaning there’s no need to scour fleabay for obscure kit – unless you’re like me and like that sort of thing. 
For more information click on a banner to be taken to each event’s site, or visit the Gunman Airsoft subforum here.
