Right apologies but this week has been busy so I’ve been a behind in my emails. First up is an email from ECHO1USA relating to Barrett replicas. In light of others news from elsewhere in the globe they have a reminder in relation to licensing issues:

Gents, […] We have to announce that we have Barrett Rifles’ trademark and licensing.

We have to warn [other manufacturers] that their products do NOT have legal licensing & trademark and will be enforced by us in many countries.

In the end of this year, we will release Barrett AEG REC 7 rifles (by www.ECHO1USA.com) and Barrett AEG M82A1 A2, A3 and CQB version (by www.SOCOMGEAR.com) (MSRP $600 USD).

The followings are some photos when we are doing real M82 measurement (Our external parts will be 100% same as real guns.)

Thanks. ISGK

Stefano from Bioval has sent over the results of the tests that they commissioned in relation to safety concerns relating to BBs. The published materials details tests across a broad range of BBs in relation to their safety and penetrative ability.

The tests have been conducted by Levante Labs, Std. Fd. U.W., 1 Centro Carvina, 6807 Taverne, Switzerland, and look to be some of the most comprehensive tests ever published on the internet in relation to BBs.

We have been commissioned by our client to execute a study of 6mm ammunition used in the sport/game of airsoft (henceforth bbs). We have been further commissioned to execute supplementary studies on new ammunition as soon as it is made available to the market. Our
client has asked us to limit the technical terms in this study so as to allow a person with no prior experience in ballistics to understand the significance of the results. We have also been asked to add our comments, observations and conclusions.
