Well it’s that time of year again where the loons that love the sport head out to Tokyo for the biannual Black Hole Show. This year’s show took place over the 5th and 6th of January and needless to say I grabbed my camera and headed on in to the city for the event.
Now over the years I have been to the show I have reported that it has got worse, this year was no different and the show was dominated by booths selling re-branded Chinese copies and German Nazi memorabilia, which out of personal views I avoided like the plague.
So to find out just what went off at this year’s show head on in to the forums and read all about what you missed here!

It is only a few days away until Tokyo Marui releases their latest AK74MN on 12.20.07.
For those unsure about this new gun, Tokyo Marui has developed a new “Recoil and Shock” gearbox where you will have both blowback features and a recoil shock effect after every shot. Tokyo Marui has proceeded to make the AK74MN in a full metal Aluminum Die-Cast receiver gun with many gimmicks replicated.
Here are a couple of images from the latest ARMS 01 issue as they uncover the gun’s gimmicks, features, and performance. ARMS’ latest Shooting Impression consists of all the gun’s features from the battery to the performance! The original thread has been updated with more information here! TM AK74MN

Even with a trip to Hong Kong, China and other locations within Asia I’ve still been working hard to bring you some of the most in-depth and image heavy reviews on and off the Internet.
This time it’s no different! With a huge host of features the VFC SCAR Light Gen. III has to be the most realistic version on the market, coupled with VFC’s dedication to the highest quality in manufacturing and customer service makes this a must on all SCAR fans Christmas list.
For the full review head on in to the forums here.

The guys over at MadBull Airsoft were kind enough to send me a samples of thier new products to review.
Now these items were first off the production line so no one else has seen these yet, infact even Simon Lee the CEO of MadBull hasn’t seen them yet! So that’s dedication to getting you the news first!
For the rest of the images head on over to the news section and check out the new Quicksilver silencer and the Long Patriot kit!
Well the wife finally asked me to sort out my office and throw away some of the “Junk” (Airsoft spare parts) that has accumulated over the year and although I reluctantly agreed I realized that a lot of it is reusable with a little imagination and modification.
So why not take a look in the Project suggestion section of the forums to see if that junk really does need to be thrown away, or even submit your own modification to save people some of that hard earned cash?
Take a look at my tutorial on how to turn your standard 6 position crane stock into a 6 position battery crane stock!
Over the years of playing Airsoft I have made a lot of purchases, some better than others and that is clearly evident when looking in my spare parts and junk box! While some of them are destined to be thrown away eventually, others with a little creativity and skill can be used again.
One of these poor choice purchases was a Prime 6 position crane stock, the one that can’t take the battery. Now when this piece was originally bought I had need of moving the battery to the back of the gun, In fact I probably had no intention of purchasing another gun, 30 guns odd later and it didn’t seem like such a good choice after all….. Or was it?
Happy New Year to you all, and happy modding!

Over the festive period I will be writing a series of reviews on MadBull’s GemTech Licensed products that have been released over the course of 2006. The first in the series of reviews is on Madbull’s GemTech G5 silencer that was only released by GemTech this year.

This year Madbull secured the rights to manufacture Gem Tech licensed products based on factual equipment made by the company. This is the first in a series of reviews on MADBULLS, Gem Tech licensed products that are hitting the market.
But first, a little information on who Gem Tech actually are. GemTech is recognized as the world leader in modern firearm silencer design. They maintain a staff of experienced designers and production engineers to bring you the latest in silencer technology for government, law enforcement, military and qualified civilian applications.
I will also be reviewing the following items:
Along with other new products, such as the new “Shark Accelerator” Hop-up bucking set. We will finish the series with an Arnie’s Airsoft exclusive interview with the top-man himself.

For those of you that might not have already seen it, I have written an in-depth review of the new Tokyo Marui M14 SOCOM that was released this month. I have compared the bodies to the original renditions of the M14, and as the thread progresses we talk about turning it into the M1A.
Tokyo Marui M14 SOCOM
C.Q.B Rifle .308
Tokyo Marui has kept this latest offering under wraps for a while now and finally it’s been released. Rumors here in Japan was that it was supposed to be released shortly after the original M14 was released, but decided against it due to internal marketing strategies here in Japan. Never the less it has finally been released just in time for Christmas, or for you Asians out there, New Years! (FarEast)
Several major retailers and other key people in the Airsoft industry have joined forces to help with the start of saveairsoft.org. The aim of the site is simple and whilst the individual efforts of hobbyists can never be discounted or replaced, an organised front is at the same time also needed to help pool resources and efforts. From a hobbyist point of view they look to distribute as much educational material as possible, through retailers and sites alike. There’s also a worthwhile online petition hosted there where everyone in the UK is encouraged to have their say (I understand that this material will then be presented to the appropriate politicians).
Retailers and sites that in all honesty would not normally deal with each other have set aside differences in the worthwhile effort to help protect the industry they work in and the pastime they enjoy. All retailers and gaming sites are invited and encouraged to pledge their support, help and initiative towards the common goal.
It’s great to see a start to a more unified front being put forward by the companies and organisations involved with Airsoft, and with luck some good in relation to the proposed VCR Bill will come from the efforts. As far as I know, Wolf, AD, Airsoft Armoury, Dragon Valley and Ambush are all involved so far, within a week it’d be nice to see every Airsoft related UK company on there.
If you’re a UK retailer or site organiser please get involved in the effort now, as there is a very real threat to your businesses ceasing to exist by the end of the year. Use it or loose it.
I’m nto quite sure why, but featured content from previous months isn’t showing. It’s to do with the way that news is archived at the end of the month, but I don’t really have the time to work out exactly what’s wrong with it at the moment. Don’t worry though a new set of content will appear this month for everyonw to fill in the space. More to follow.
Let me preface this review by stating a simple fact, I despise the AK47, I think like the VW Beetle, the AK is simple and ugly and there are a lot of them out there. Now that I’ve offended all of the AK fans who are reading this, let me say that anyone who has ever talked with me knows that there is one AK out there that can warm my cold dead heart, that gun being the AKS74U.
