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

Xtreme Precision have sent in their latest press release. Here’s the latest:

Dear friends,

Following the global success of our 0.20g 100% Biodegradable Precision BB’s and the request coming directly from war-game players of having our Biodegradable BB’s available also in 0.25g, we are proud to announce the release of the 0.25g 100% Biodegradable Precision BB’s.

The Xtreme Precision® 0.25g 100% Biodegradable BB’s feature the same precise and smooth surface of our regular BB’s and an amazing tolerance of +/- 0.01mm. We can surely claim that our BB’s are the most precise 100% Biodegradable BB’s on the market. Each BB is made using first class materials and go through a severe QC process in order to ensure our customers the top quality products we are well known for.

The new 0.25g 100% Biodegradable BB’s are packed in 2800 BB’s resealable zip bags. The price as usual is quite low compared to the quality level.

Please pay attention to fake products, several players e-mailed us asking if the various new BB brands that are coming out on the market that show the words Xtreme, or Extreme, or Extreme precision and similar words on the label are all made by us. Please note that only the BB’s carrying our logo on the package are the original Xtreme Precision® BB’s. Xtreme Precision® is a registered trademark. Beware of fake products and imitations.

The guys at OPSEC Airsoft Radio have sent in news of their latest show and some sad local news from them:

Hey Arnie,

This episode is dedicated to the memory of our friend and fellow airsofter, Steve Holtgrefe, who tragically passed away last Saturday, the 8th of December, at a local game. More details can be found at http://www.airsoftextreme.com

It’s been a while since we’ve posted a show with a length greater than 2 hours.. but last night.. mission accomplished! Our guest, Heath Hammond from The Regiment, got caught in the infamous Los Angeles traffic, making him about 20+ minutes late for the show. No big worries, as we absolutely roasted him in the last hour or so. Plenty of callers and laughs.. one of the better episodes in my opinion. The show is now available for download via iTunes (search for “opsec” in the Music Store) or via direct download at the below link:

*December 13th Program*
- National Airsoft Event
- New Items of Interest
- Main Topic: The Wonders of Regen Rules

Just a reminder for everyone, we have our holiday break next week so there will be no Show on the 20th of December. We will resume our normal schedule starting Thursday, the 27th of December.

Cheers, Radar (OPSEC Airsoft Radio)

Yet again we bring you some exciting news from ICS. I was kept quiet about releasing details of the forth coming releases by ICS but know the cats out the bag!

Right now the ICS FN FNC is in the processes of completing the design process and these images are of the final prototype. ICS has invested more money in to research and development to bring us the best products at reasonable prices and have invested in new machinery to do so.

The prototype you see was developed on the new Rapid Prototyping Machine and made from polycarbonate resign, which really saves time and money on development.

For more images head on in to the forums here.

Some info from Tactical Quartermaster.

We are pleased to announce we can now offer the full range of TAG gear.  Most items are on our website but if you need anything not listed just send us an email.  There is currently a £250 minimum order for TAG items as they are special order items for now.

The team over at VFC has sent us the latest on the much anticipated VFC AK AIMS. The AIM is a Romanian produced version of the Soviet designed AKM assault rifle and as we have come to expect from Vega Force Company is replicated to perfection.

The features of VFC AIMS are as followed.

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.

While on my recent visit to Hong Kong and China I was able to meet up with a lot of the shakers and movers. One of the exclusive items that I am allowed to talk about is the soon to be released JSDF Type 89 by ‘Both Elephant’.

Currently these will only be available through RSOV and have exactly the same features as the original Marui. One thing that this model has improved on is the fact that the furniture is rubber coated like the real weapon, unlike the Marui.

Also you will be glad to hear that Arnie’s Airsoft has secured and exclusive review on this product!

Thanks again to Keith and partners for setting this up!
