What with Tokyo Marui’s G17 being slightly oversized owners of the excellent handgun aren’t able to use real steel options on their weapon. Fortunately PDI through X-Fire is releasing products design specifically for the Tokyo Marui G17.

HI,this is Tomo.

Today, I have an interesting upgrade parts.It’s Tactical Block for TM Glock17.

Detail: Made of Duralmin,CNC all machined(included a lower block).For TM Glock 17.

Tomo, (X-Fire)

Alex from Armed Forces Co. (www.armedforces.hk) have been in contact for some info about their products along with Tony from PFI (www.pfi-hk.com) that was also at the store that day promoting his new products.

The AFC custom blow back system is available as a conversion kit or a complete kit in a VFC AK with the fps adjustable to up to 400fps with .20g ammo. They’re currently working on a prototype that has a similar mechanism to be fitted in a systema with removable bolt system just like the real thing so those of you that are waiting for a higher performance armalite GBB, sit tight! There may be one coming that doesn’t require a gas tank to be carried with you during a skirmish.

More info can be found on this thread. Here

Some of you may remember PFI when they released their PFI toy grenade,
they have also released a smoke cap silencer recently that imitates real steel muzzle smoke.

This has already been posted on the forums by Tinkerbell first, here.

It comes in a nice little package as you see in the picture, along with the smoke cap and a molle compatible pouch itself, there are 2 other threaded adaptors, (apart from the 14mm ?ve thread) a 14mm +ve and a 16mm +ve thread as well as a spare set of screws for the adaptors too.

Modify have released some good gearbox related products in the past and now it seems they are taking some serious steps to bring players not only high quality products but now innovative ones as well.

Not only that but Modify has promised us a exclusive review sample to test just how good it is!

Modular Gear Set.

Modify gear set is patented. A revolutionary Modular Structure design is to allowing the user to load the gears easy, speed and accuracy.

You need not to adjust it with shims. It includes:

1) Modular Gear Set, 1set

2) Tempered Stainless Bushes w/ Double Oil Tank, 6pcs

3) Stainless Bushes, 6pcs (3 types available: 6mm, 6.1mm and 7mm )

4) Anti-reversal Latch, 1 pc

Ceramic Ball Bearing.

Ceramic balls are over 100% harder than steel balls. In a hybrid bearing, the extremely hard and smooth Ceramic Ball keeps raceways clear of contaminants by pushing them away from the contact patch. In addition, the ceramic ball remains extremely smooth, preventing ball to race damage. For the end user, this means reduced bearing wear and longer bearing life at high precision.

* Vickers Hardness 10 KG Load: Ceramic = 1550, Steel = 730

Benefits of Ceramic Ball Bearing Attributes:

• Dissimilar Materials (Steel and silicon nitride)
• Less Wear
• Lower Operating Temperature
• Higher Speed
• Extended Bearing Life
• Lower Friction
• Stiffness
• Lower Vibration

Thank you and have a good day!

While other companies seem content bringing you their own versions of rifles already on the market Madbull are working with real steel companies to bring us not only innovative products but also full licensed versions of weapon systems currently not on the market. This time they have secured the license from JP Rifle works .

We have just received an e-mail from Pacific Concepts/Ravenwood Tactical about an excellent product that is going to be a huge hit with members of the community that what to record ingame footage without carrying around fragile and expensive video equipment that runs the huge risk of being damaged durring play.

Pacific Concepts/HBD Inc has been providing innovate solutions to Industry and Law Enforcement agencies for over 37 years. After over a year in R&D, we now have a new product to introduce. We developed this camera in partnership with a major video camera maker. This is the first hardened video camera developed for mounting on a firearm. Waterproof to 10 ft, runs off two AA batteries.

Our R&D was aimed at producing a camera for law enforcement use, mounted directly on the fore end or barrel of a entry gun for SWAT use. As the prototype was displayed, we started receiving new uses from all directions.

Paintball players have shown a huge interest, along with bow hunters, handgun hunters and shotgun hunters.

On the law enforcement side we have had requests for mounts for ATV’s, bike patrols, water bikes, boats and a hand held, waterproof, easy to use camera for boarding boats. The corrections field is using them for video taping cell extractions, deployment of less lethal launchers and riot situations.

The uses seem to be only restricted by your imagination.

Please contact us if you need any more information tellwood@hbdinc.com

Simon over at MadBull has mailed in an update regarding their KX3:

Gents,

Here are some tips. You can modify your KX3 to adjust volume and make metal punching sound.

We already add this instruction (attached) onto our website.

Also, we will have more color of KX3. Instead of using “painting,” we use “anodizing.” We will have Multicam (authorized), Tan, Dark OD, and Light Gold very soon.

Best Regards, (Mad Bull Airsoft)
