As you may have read on this forum and elsewhere, 6Mil Airsoft in Cannock had a break-in the other day. Here’s a statement from them:
We would like to inform the Airsoft Community that the 6Mil business premises in Cannock were broken into on Tuesday 8th March at roughly 8:30pm and airsoft AEG’s were removed. 25 AEG’s in total were taken, mainly produced by Classic Army. The AEG’s removed predominantly covered the range of MP5’s, AK’s and M16 / M4’s.
Whilst this situation is unfortunate for the business, it is 6Mil’s main concern that there is the possibility of 25 replicas now on the streets being put to mis-use. Therefore 6Mil offers rewards for any information leading to the apprehension of thief/thieves and or safe return of the AEG’s taken.
It is regrettable that this incident made the front page of the local tabloids, the last thing that our sport needed was some negative publicity considering the current climate, however this was beyond our control.
Some of the more notable, rarer replicas include a fully custom built Hurricane H&K 416, featuring a distinctive Pro-Win gearbox. A unique TDI Arms RIS attachment, which allows a Glock pistol only to be attached to the underside of a RIS rail on a main arm.
Hurricane SR47 kit built onto a CA M4 with CA crane stock & Battery
Classic Army XM177 E2 – Very new AEG on the market.
Classic Army M15A4 Tactical Carbine with a Classic Army plastic 203 attached.
Classic Army M15A4 R.I.S. with desert tan stock, front grip and hand grip.
G&G M16 GR16A3 with G&G SR-15 RAS Kit / Smokey PEQ Box.
G&P M4A1 with ICS Tsunami R.A.S.All the Classic Army AEG’s have serial numbers and we have record of these, obviously all these could well be offered as parts only. If you see, or are offered any of the above, or even suspicious about certain AEG’s being offered at low prices, please do not hesitate to contact us, all information will be gratefully received.

As stated previously, rewards are offered for any information leading to the apprehension of thief/thieves and or safe return of the replicas taken.Quotes taken from the Staffordshire Police news website:
“Officers in Cannock are calling for witnesses after imitation firearms were stolen from a shop in the area.”“It is believed three people were seen outside the premises and loading an estate car with the toys shortly before 8.30pm yesterday (7 March).”
“One of the offenders is described as wearing a white baseball cap and another wearing a white jacket.”“Inspector Mat Derrick, Neighbourhood Policing Unit (NPU) commander for Cannock, said: “These are replica firearms and can be misinterpreted for real weapons.”
“We would urge anyone with information on the incident, or anyone who is offered these toys to contact Staffordshire Police immediately.”“Anyone with information should contact Inspector Derrick on 08453 302010 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111”.
