Airsoft GI – Tokyo Marui Manufacturer Highlight – Hi Capa, 5-7, Detonics
Tokyo Marui is the pioneer of current airsoft technology. Without their integration of the gear box in to the TM FAMAS in 1992 it’s highly unlikely that airsoft would be as big as it is right now.

Airsoft GI – WE AK74UN Gas Blowback Full Metal Close Quarters Combat Airsoft Gun
This gun is extremely fun to shoot! The recoil is so realistic and the addition of the little features mentioned in this video make the gun very usable and much more practical on the battle field. Additionally, the magazine holds A LOT of gas, it needs it to push that large and heavy bolt back and propel the BB.

• D Boy MK36 / G36 High Capacity Magazine
  This is a lightweight, plastic constructed magazine that is recommended for use with the Echo 1, JG, Tokyo Marui, KWA and Classic Army MK36 series AEGs.
• J-Tech Hydration Carrier with Bladder (Tan)
  The J-Tech Hydration Carrier is designed to attach to a vest with the use of MOLLE webbing and holds a 2.5 liter hydration bladder.

• Magpul USA MOE Scout Mount
  The Magpul USA MOE Scout Mount is a great new product from our friends over at Magpul that is sure to improve your gameplay experience. It is designed specifically to be mounted to the Magpul MOE hand guard and to provide a mounting point for your Surefire SCOUT or similar picatinny-mounted flashlight.
• Laylax PSS96-Zero Trigger System for Maruzen Type96

• Combat Machine M4 Raider with Polymer RIS Airsoft Gun ( Tan ) (Battery and Charger Package)
  The Combat Machine M4 Raider with Polymer RIS Airsoft Gun features a Rail Interface System made completely out of polymer. Being made out of polymer, you would think the rail would be flimsy and unreliable, however it is just the opposite.
• Airsoft Surgeon Cocking Handle for Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa (Silver)
  Airsoft Surgeon has maintained a reputation for making some of the best race pistol parts in the airsoft market, and this piece once again solidifies that reputation.
