BB2k Airsoft have awesome Facebook and YouTube pages and have had the chance to visit Umarex at IWA. They’ve also shared photos of Umarex’s HK MG4 AEG. Checkout their pages and like and subscribe to them for more updates.
Whilst IWA 2021 isn’t quite what everyone hoped this year for the obvious reasons that doesn’t mean the news and new releases aren’t coming. Umarex have posted a video covering the highlights of their upcoming new products. This covers items outside of their airsoft lineup including paintball calibers, however these rubberised calibers tend to provide interest in 6mm versions. Lets face it these are interesting ideas and designs.
The GreyShop have a new NVG mount module for various helmet styles on their website. There’s room for insignia and a battery pack to the rear to counterbalance any NVG fitted to the front.
Modern helmets such as “OPS-Core” or “LSHZ 1+” have special mounts for the NVG or Action camera, but often these tools need a special counterweight-balancer or an additional power source, which should be installed on the back of the helmet, without a special Module on the Helmet, this is not possible, so it must be made a full part of the helmet.
The helmet module can be installed on helmets such as “OPS-Core”, “LSHZ 1+” or similar ones with a special interface made of velcro. The module is installed so that it covers the area from the back to the top of the helmet.
GreyShop
On the back of the module there is a pocket for the NVG counterweight or an additional battery in the form of batteries or a power bank for the Action Camera. Velcro is sewn around the perimeter of the module for additional insignia and technical means.
BB2K Airsoft have posted a YouTube video of their experiences at the Umarex booth at IWA2021 and the new releases on the way. There’s the HK MG4 and a rather nice M29 revolver too. Please don’t forget to like and subscribe to their channel.
Nitecore have a new torch or rather “lamp” out called the LR60. It’s a multipurpose device, works as a light source or a mobile battery pack and runs off 21700 or 18650 batteries. Handy for weekend games, camping or working in dark environments.
As a new member of the NITECORE Lantern Series, the LR60 is an innovative gadget to combine a camping lantern, power bank and Li-ion battery charger for a unique and ungraded user experience.
Nitecore
As a Power Bank:
The LR60 can be used as a portable power bank available for a USB QC fast charge output of 18W when using 1~2 x 21700 / 18650 batteries to get you out of the outdoor charging predicament for your USB devices.
As a Camping Lantern:
The LR60 utilizes 9 x high CRI LEDs (CRI≥90, Color Temperature: 4000-4500K), with a maximum output of 280 lumens and a max beam diameter of 28 meters. The highly translucent PC diffuser allows all light source to be evenly distributed and softened.
To prevent accidental activation, the LR60 is equipped with dual power buttons located on both sides of the base which perform the same functions and enable simple operations of brightness adjustment and mode switching. Available with 3 brightness levels and 2 special modes, it is also equipped with 3 illuminable directions and multiple illuminable direction settings to save power and suitable for different purposes.
As a Li-ion Battery Charger:
The USB-C port is compatible with various mobile power sources to charge 2 x 21700 / 18650 Li-ion batteries. It can automatically detect the battery level and automatically adopt the optimal charging modes between CC and CV. The Over-Discharged Li-ion Battery Activation can energize your batteries and the blue indicator enables you to be informed of the charging status anytime anywhere.
With an ultra compact and portable body, the LR60 also has 2 ways to offer hands-free uses with its magnetic base and hanger. IP66 rated and 1m impact resistant, it is applicable for multiple scenes including outdoor camping, family emergency, maintenance checks and EDC (Everyday Carry).

This is a 10 inch slide and accessory kit to convert .50AE and L6 models from Cybergun/WE into “the famous Zombie killing handcannon”.

Jia Dyi have been taking a closer look at a selection of World War II weapons:
Honorable clients, Each collector or player have their own preferred style or model. And if you are a collector of old guns, then you must not miss the few guns that will be introduced today, they all played an important role in World War II!
King Arms – M1 Carbine
The M1 Carbine is a light weight, easy to use, .30 caliber (7.6mm) semi-auto carbine that was a firearm for the U.S. military during World War II. Developed out of a need to arm specialized infantry, its design was to solve an issue where a standard full-size rifle proved to be too heavy and unwieldy for specialized infantry to adequately perform their assigned duty while still lugging around a heavy backup weapon. The M1 Carbine with is .30 cartridge helps to bridge the gap between a full-size rifle round and pistol round. It came into service around mid-1942, and was produced in several variants and widely used by military, paramilitary and police forces around the world. It has also been a popular civilian firearm.
The King Arms M1 replica is a beautiful reproduction of this classic firearm, use quality fabric and perfect 1:1 scale to meet the collectors and reenactor exigence. The rifle has a very realistic processing of wooden stock, metal parts and cocking mechanism which helps achieve a more realistic weight, with a Co2 powered gas recoil system helps to imitate the bolt cycling action.
Thanks to the implementation of GBB airsoft replica credibly mimic the function of charging after every shot, as is the case with the firearm. It is this well with a nice kickback gives owners great feeling of shooting, and is equipped with latest pre-shot action for better accuracy.
SRC – SR40
The MP40 submachine gun is designed in 1938, designed by Heinrich Voller with inspiration from its predecessor the MP38 and was used extensively by the Axis powers during World War II. The MP40 is made from stamped steel and designed to fire from an open bolt, it was compact lightweight, easy to use and could spit 9x19mm rounds down range at a blistering 550 rounds per minute. With over 1.1 million produced between 1940 and 1945, the MP40 became easily associated with the field grey clad Wehrmacht.
The SRC SR40 is one of the most realistic MP40 replicas on the market today. Bult from durable and authentic stamped steel, features electric blowback, imitation Bakelite furniture, an under folding stock and a drop free 60 rounds magazine.
SRC SR40 AEG has been around now for a few years but it has been improved from its original concept with fitted MOSFET giving better trigger contact wear and more stable voltage protection for the full auto only function.
ICS – M3 Greaser
The M3 is a .45 caliber submachine gun mass-produced during World War II, it was chambered for the same ACP round fired by the Thompson submachine gun, it was less accurate but lighter and cheaper to produce. The M3 was commonly referred to as the “Grease Gun” or simply “the Greaser”, owing to its visual similarity to the mechanic’s tool.
The ICS M3 replica only shoots full-auto and is built entirely of stamped and riveted metal just like the real gun. It is lightweight, easily maneuverable, and very reliable. Measuring only about 29 inches fully extend, designed for both indoor and outdoor battles thanks to its fully adjustable hop-up unit and 2 position retractable steel stock.
Internally, this grease gun AEG features a proprietary metal gearbox equipped with a steel gear set and 8mm steel bushings designed to hold up against stress from high torque motor. That gives you a high-performance AEG on the field with respectable rate of fire behind ever shot. Additionally, it comes with a high-capacity magazine that can hold up to 430 rounds and a battery storage compartment inside the body (not the magazine). All matched up perfectly to give this WWII-style airsoft gun a great competitive edge.
WE – 1911
The classic M1911, also known as the Colt 1911, is the best-known of John Browning’s design to use the short recoil principle in its basic design. It served as the standard-issue sidearm for the United States Armed Forces from 1911 to 1985 and was widely used in WWI, WWII and few others. Besides being widely copied itself, this operating system rose to become the pre-eminent type of the 20th century and of nearly all modern centerfire pistols.
WE’s expansive line of gas blowback pistols are always a popular choice for airsoft players for their price, features and reliable. WE’s version of the classic M1911 design expands and improves on the original idea by offering more bang for the buck.
The M1911 replica from WE is full metal body, semi-auto and with hard kick blowback. The metal parts of the gun include the outer barrel, chamber, recoil spring rod, slide stop, slide safety, hammer, trigger and also its vintage sleek matte chrome finish with its classic brown checkered grips. Equipped with a functional grip safety and slide safety to make its operation safe for all shooters. Moving slide and strong gas blowback system gives the user a very realistic experience. On the other side, WE provided quality parts that ensure long time usage and precision of each shot.

Airsoft Wholesale UK have posted a video on YouTube of the new Dynatex 6209 multi show impact grenade which you can snag over at their website.
The new Dynatex 6209 multishot blank firing grenade is sure to change airsoft gameplay forever. Sure, there have been multishot grenades before, but combine the six shots from this single chamber with the reliability and consistency of Dynatex, then you can not go wrong.
The cylindrical chamber holds six .209 primers and is manually rotated to the next chamber by unscrewing the base ring (one and a half turns) pulling down the chamber, rotating it and then it locks into place, then you just tighten the base ring and it’s ready to go. We have a video below showing you how to load and prime your Dynatex 6209 impact grenade and they also come with comprehensive instructions in the box.
Dynatex is the original and arguably, the best manufacturer of blank firing and training impact grenades on the market. This new release is sure to change training and airsoft massively. The quality and performance of the Dynatex BFGs are like no other, never have a failed shot again with the 6209 grenades. In the video below, we tested from various heights and found the grenade still successfully went off whilst being dropped at only 40cm of the hard floor.
This is a full metal training grenade and is based on the same size and weight as the police training grenades used by UK police. Like all Dynatex grenade products, they are fully proofed and safety approved by the proofing house before being allowed for sale. Dynatex has now switched entirely to just .209 primers now for their airsoft BFG due to length testing at the proofing house from 9mm blanks and 12g blanks.
The entire mechanism design is patented by Dynatex (patent no. EP06251303.1) and on the 6209 it moves very freely and smoothly to allow detonation from nearly every angle. We know some players run their BFGs without pins in their pouches, but we highly recommend keeping the pin secured until you’re ready to throw it for the safety of you and others around you.
What’s in the box?
Dynatex 6209 blank firing grenade
Bearing secured pin
550 lanyard cord
Instruction Manual
Six shot .209 primer chamber ring
Silver knurled securing ringThe pin included with the Dynatex 6209 impact grenade uses a bearing secure system so there is very little chance of the pin itself coming loose and falling out. The pin is easy to remove when you pull it, with only a little resistance from the pin, making room clearing a lot easier. Attached to the pin already is a small green lanyard which you can attach anywhere on your kit allowing that extra security and stopping you from losing this high-quality pin.
After various tests (and a lot of hurt ears) we tried our best to not set the grenade off to find a fault somewhere but was very difficult. We dropped it on its head, side, base and also from various heights. We found the minimum height to drop it from on its side was 40cm which is absolutely nothing compared to how hard and how far airsoft BFGs are usually thrown in the field. We are confident in saying you’ll find it dead easy to set this blank firing grenade off every time you throw it, and if you don’t, then you need to reassess your throwing techniques.
If you have had airsoft BFGs before then you know how tiresome or annoying it is to carry the extra weight after being collected and if you run six at a time on your kit that can add up to a lot of weight and space taken up. With this unit, it’ll be a mere fraction of the weight and only take up one pouch space leaving you extra room for carrying other tactical gear.
Features:
Full metal construction
Up to six .209 primers
Rotating chamber
High quality bearing pin
Small lanyard
Easy to use
