In random updates around the block, Boom Arms have the new G&P G&P Military Type Standalone Grenade Launcher Pistol in stock too at 255USD. They’ve also added several “BOOM ARMS Custom” products, namely the ever popular M4 CQBR format, an AKS74U, a custom 5.1 model (quite like the look of that one myself) and a custom WA pistol. There’s more there so have a leaf through their pages for all the latest updates.
Over at ClassicArmy they’ve updated the listing for the upcoming M15 CQB release from them including such bonuses as "colourful parts inside the gear box". Not quite sure on the advantage of that myself, although coloured main springs would be great as they you’d have some chance of spotting what power a spring is without having to fit it.
Airsoft magpies and collectors of all things shiny can rejoice. First Factory have posted news of a new M500 in 8mm format from Marushin (who else?) that comes in shiny silver with wood pump and grip. The new M500 is listed as a limited edition, but that tends to mean very little these days, and comes with real rose wood grips at a price of 41,790 Yen. The photo is that of the prototype so the actual colour may vary somewhat.
Also on their news pages is the long awaited blowback wood/metal 8mm Marushin M1 Garand (price undecided but release date to be announced shortly), both WA SCW MEUs, and the chrome version of the WA S&W 1911. Oh for anyone looking for a high resolution shot of the M1 Garand NodaYa have posted a nice picture of the Smokies version (non blowback).
Over the pond at Airsoft Extreme the guys there have updated their site to list that are going to have the new GunsWorkshop XM8 kits in stock sometime in May.
Over in Germany the lads at KHS Industries are going to be exhibiting at "IWA & OutdoorClassics 2005" from the 18th to the 21st of March at the ‘fair centre’ in Nürnberg. You’ll be able to find them in hall 5 on stand 5-322. At their stand you’ll find: KHS tactical equipment, KHS H3 military watches, the Meprolight, Karrimor SF gear, the Saab Barracuda, INOVA products, the well known Wiley X eye wear, Protec and much more.
Endoshoji have a new weekly offer on the silenced Hudson Grease Gun. The GBB from Hudon is now priced at 185USD down from 210 for the period of the offer.
Over at Laylax there’s a new power valve on the way out for the TM Desert Eagle which uses an interesting design to increase gas flow and gas evaporation rate to increase overall power output from the pistol.
If you were keeping up with Poseidon Shop‘s Seburo M-5 kit product there’s some nice photos of the finished product on their pages now.
LA Gunshop have posted a piece about the news that Head1950 have added concerning half-metal guns in Japan and posted a link over to Head1950’s pages. It looks like the good news is spreading fast over in Japan as the link is appearing on all the forums out there.
