It seems that as a website we’ve somehow broken community guidelines on Facebook which has resulted in us being blocked from our own Facebook page(s).
We’d like to apologise to anyone who’s posts or material we’d normally interact with but sadly we’ve been muted. It appears that Facebook initially took offence to BB bottles in the shape of grenades and then LCT Airsoft. We’ve appealed the decision but been told that we’ve not followed their Community Standards regardless. It appears that airsoft is something that Facebook won’t tolerate or discuss.
Needless to say we’re flabbergasted, as we all know airsoft is legal, we don’t condone anything illegal, we promote safe and responsible gaming and we’re not a retailer.
Specna Arms have shared images of their pistol prototype and some more details on social media. It’s still in the design phase but they say they intend on it being CO2 powered. Obviously it’s a bit Glock like, but they’ve not yet mentioned which setup it will be compatible with or if they’ll make sure it will fit Glock styled holsters yet.
After pictures with the new receiver sample, we have for you a completely new 3D project – Specna Arms airsoft pistol replica.
The visualizations show the prototype, which may undergo some changes, so have that in mind while commenting on it. If you have any suggestions, we’ll be glad to hear them.
Let us share some details on the pistol:
– Based on a polymer frame
– 174 mm length metal slide
– The slide has special cuts for better reload
– The front part of the slide is profiled for easier holstering
– Enlarged and fitted to the line of the pistol grip magazine release
– The slightly elongated beavertail for shooter’s protection against accidental clipping with the slide
– The trigger guard designed to allow a more comfortable grip.It will be equipped with
– Fiber optic sights
– Cutout for red dot sight (compatibility decision pending)
– Bottom RIS rail
– Overlays on the back of the pistol grip to enhance the grip thickness.We design the SA pistol to be compatible with internal parts and accessories (e.g., holsters) from popular brands. To facilitate the change of the magazine and improves the grip stability user can mount an optional magwell. Trigger and red dot added only for illustrative purposes. Red magwell was used only for its better presentation in visualizations. Ultimately, it will be dark.

The latest issue of Airsoft Action is out, you can see the article up on their webpage:
The latest issue is out today and with lockdown easing and games re-starting, Airsoft Action is at the forefront of what’s happening around the world.
In this issue we get “up close and personal” FOUR SUPERB RIFLES, in the form of ARES’ MUTANT series, EVOLUTION’S GHOST, KWA’s LM4D and EMG’s sublime BARRETT FIELDCRAFT and if you like your rifle to be more “AK” than “AR”, don’t miss RED CELL, as the crew look at TEN different “Classic” AKs.
On top of all that, we also look back at the KWA QRF and ACTION ARMY’S AAP-01 – and we haven’t forgotten pistols either, as we update our VORSK Diary with their Custom Shop release, the VORSK VENGEANCE!
For Kit & Gear we get into TACTICAL FLEECES and PLATE CARRIERS, Bill W-R sorts out some 5.11 kit for those of a larger stature and Frenchie continues his “Site to Street” series with VIPER’S VX BUP.
We head to PORTUGAL and TAIWAN to catch up on games and Action Air and round off with some SIMPLE UPGRADES and a look at what’s hot in UK retail right now.
…and if that wasn’t enough to get your juices flowing, then the 166-PAGE SPECNA ARMSCATALOGUE we have published alongside this issue most certainly will!

AMNB have posted a review of the Helikon-Tex coffee kit we mentioned a while back, it’s worth a read and checking out so head on over to their pages. With outdoor games coming back and weekends away we all know that sometimes coffee just is the answer!
When they launched this set I did ask Helikon-Tex about their grinder and confirmed with them that it was made of stainless steel with ceramic querns. I have asked them about replacement filter meshes for the french press but sadly they don’t sell any and have been unable to date to confirm if you can get compatible ones anywhere. If anyone has used a metal filter press for long enough you’ll know that the mesh (take Bodum as an example) will finally give away with continual use and cleaning’s.
Now I should point out that I consider James Hoffman the absolute guru when it comes to coffee videos and he posted a video review a bit ago on the old hand grinders. I’m hoping he’ll cover some more of the travel kit in the future as well.
Hyperdouraku has reviewed on his blog the BCM MCMR which is made by Vega Force Company (VFC). His whole review is up here. If you missed it BCM refers to Bravo Company Manufacturing and is under license by VFC. Hyperdouraku has been able to have a look at a sample of the 11.5in barrel version prior to the scheduled June release. You can see the translated review here courtesy of Google’s usual facilities.
AirsoftGI have posted a video of the JAG Scattergun Masterkey that we mentioned last month. Sadly it’s not on JAG’s shotgun pages yet. Much like their Reaper shotgun this takes 28 round shells and fires 3 or 6 round in a selectable burst shot.
ATRG have posted a review of the new Marui pocket rocket that is the LCP NBB pistol.
I’m rather protective of this blog, so it’s rather rare that you’ll see a guest review pop up. Rare, but not unheard of. A guest article has to meet a certain amount of criteria for me, and to even consider handing the reins across to someone else, they have to meet certain benchmarks:
– The reviewer must be knowledgable in the area of that particular review or discussion piece, able to offer an insight that is backed up by attained knowledge.
– The item must be of interest to my audience but also something I have no future plans to buy, or at least didn’t plan to buy before agreeing to the review.
– I have to like and trust the person who’s appearing as a guest reviewer, and the reviewer has to trust me to accurately copy across their review onto my blog..So before we get into the review itself, who have I entrusted this particular review to? It’s a man that many of you might know, at least a few of you will have met him and others have likely conducted business with him… the reviewer is, Mr Heroshark.

Fancy a new receiver for your Tokyo Marui MWS? Now in stock at Bang Bang is the SLR AIRSOFTWORKS CNC ALUMINUM B15 set priced at 2,730.00HKD.
Airsoft Taiwan have posted a video review of the EMG Strike Industries ARK-17 GBB. Compatible with TM G series upgrades and with looks from Strike you can’t go far wrong.
4UAD have posted a very thorough review of the Marui MWS and the GBB system behind it. Check it out below and like and subscribe if you like there work.
Although it was a late one, the Marui MWS M4 still shakes the market when it first came out. Some people said its very weak, and breaks when you charge 12 kg gas to it, and some people just absolutely loved it and call it the king of GBB. This GBB rifle is filled with quite some performance Myth and Tale and we figured today is gotta be the day we bust this performance Myth wide open!!! with Scientific test obviously~ Be ready for the first Grading System Challenge Ep.1 “Is the Tokyo Marui MWS M4 any good”?
