Jimmy (Moocow) has been in contact with some news from Hong Kong. The annual Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair has been running there, and he’s been talking to several of the key Chinese manufacturers:
KA GBB M4A1
Firstly, in addition to WA / WE / Inokatsu and Dboys who are apparently already manufacturing and selling GBB M4s, KA also have a working prototype and are considering sales, but area first apparently considering the commercial viability of such a project and the possibility of partnership with one of the existing manufacturers.
Many thanks to FightingCock (FC) of the Obliterators for allowing this mugshot to be taken by MooCow!
KA Blowback AEGs
Moocow reports that he considered the prototype KA M4 GBB to work better than the WE variant, with an improved FPS and reliability and better quality materials.
KA are also apparently planning to release a new range of blowback AEGs, including a Galil and SIG 556 (pictured).
New ACM Manufacturer with GBB PTW & GBB MP5
Moocow also reported on a new ACM brand, who he suspects is named P&G, although it is possible they may be P&J; apparently their representative’s dialect coupled with a lack of printed logos made it difficult to be sure. Apparently the company are manufacturing M4 PTW GBBs & MP5 GBB, which certainly makes them a manufacturer to look out for.
That’s not all; the manufacturer are also seeking to produce an AEG M60 along with other AEG support variants
LCT Airsoft
LCT Airsoft also had a stand at the expo, where they were demonstrating some of their new wares. Most of these have been identified already in previous news, but it’s certainly worth watching this space; they’re clearly determined to carve a name for themselves as cheaper Inokatsu-grade AEG manufacturers.
Pics will come as and when Jimmy can get around to sending them me (which will be soon, hopefully!)
STI / SRC
Nothing remarkable to report here, other than expect everyone’s favourite cheapsoft manufacturer to produce yet more AEG clones of existing replicas out on the market before long.
