Moondog grabs two of the Mac-11s and goes akimbo. Watch his take on this machine pistol.
KWA M11A1 NS2 Machine Pistol
Editor's Intro: Moondog, one of our prolific Popular Airsoft Operators for the Magazine, is giving us some of the most elegant airsoft video reviews online, having started with his video review the Snow Wolf Barrett M99 and the Ares Tavor which we shall post here later on.
Top Tech T4-18 Electric Blowback
AEG rifles with blow back mechanisms are not new in the airsoft world. In fact we have seen G&G make their first electric blow back mechanism when they released their version of the L85 A1 and the ACM version of this made by Army Armament. The old electric blow back mechanism simply hooks the fake bolt onto the gearbox spring assembly thus mimicking the bolt action. It was impressive when it first came out but it was not long until we saw the negative effects this had on the performance of the rifle like shortened battery life and higher gearbox stress.
The ICS ICAR ARM (Galil ARM)
The Galil are a series of assault rifle developed in 1967. I find the development of it a bit on the funny side as it is told that during the war, the IDF or Israeli Defence Forces armed with the FN FAL experienced problems with their firearms especially with the weight and durability in fine dust environments. On the other hand, the Arab Army was then armed with the Russian AK 47 seemed to have the advantage. So after the war, the IDF decided to replace the FN FAL and develop a new assault rifle to rival the success of the AK47 but with a touch of their own design.
The “Markings” Say It All: Avalon Mk18 Mod0
I have yet to see a Mk 18 Mod 0 airsoft version that comes as close to the real thing (not that I have seen a real one). But according to those in-the-know, and also based on my personal research, the Avalon Mk 18 Mod is the closest to the real deal NSWC Mk 18 Mod 0 assault carbine. What I have reviewed here is a loaner from MyAirsoftShop (MAS), Philippines, courtesy of Manuel “King” Rubia of MAS Triple Kill.
VholdR Contour HD 720p Helmet Cam
In 2008 I wrote about a helmet camera from VholdR for the Popular Airsoft Magazine and now here is the new version which is capable to record HD video. The VholdR Contour HD is available a while ago so nothing new about this line rather than sharing some experience about how to use it for Airsoft purposes. In fact VholdR has released the 1080p version, but I already got this before that went to market.
KJ Works M700 Take Down Sniper Rifle
KJ Works’ M700 Take Down Rifle is a clone of the Tanaka Works’ M700, which in turn is based on the Remington M700 Police Sniper Rifle. This model is basically a re-stocked Remington M700 VS (Varmint Synthetic). Remington has been manufacturing this type of rifle in the USA since 1962 with the first model 700BDL. This model was the basis for the precision sniper rifle that was adopted by the USMC—the USMC M40. This sniper rifle was widely used in the Vietnam War and into the late 70's. Current USMC M40A1 models are still being rebuilt on the same bolt actions.
Mil-Force GS-6 Tactical Rifle Sling: A Gun Slinger's Choice
As a follow up on finding gear to make your loadout lighter (please refer to the December 2008 Popular Airsoft Magazine issue), I was lucky that Mil-Force (MF) was able to recommend one of their products to further lighten down the load. The Mil-Force GS-6 Tactical Rifle Sling (available only in black for now) that was given to me for a quick review does the job in an excellent manner.
Tokyo Marui AKS74U with Blowback and Recoil Engine
As promised in the August 2008 issue of the Popular Airsoft Magazine, we were determined to make a full takedown and review of the Tokyo Marui (TM) AKS74U AEG that comes with the blowback and recoil engine. This is the second AEG that Tokyo Marui has released that features this new innovation, the first being the TM AK74MN. If you think that blowback and recoil are just unnecessary niceties for AEGs, I may have to ask you to think again.
RS Type 56: It’s as REAL as it gets…
During the period in world history when the West and the East were divided by the so-called “Cold War”, an assault rifle was born in China, the Type 56 7.62mm assault rifle. The Type 56 is a Chinese version of the Soviet AK 47. It can be said that the Type 56 belongs to the Soviet AK47 family as it was designed from small arms documents supplied by the former Soviet Union to China. Most of the advantages of the AK47 can be seen in the Type 56, especially its strong adaptability in very harsh conditions. Also, the Type 56 remains effective in any weather condition, be it rain or snow.
LCT Airsoft Hungarian AMD-65
LCT Airsoft finally produced a replica of my favorite weapon. I only say favorite because the AMD-65 was the first weapon I’ve seen as a kid so its image burned into my memory forever. It was long gone by the time I enrolled the Hungarian Army and I had to use the “boring” AK63. Today it is only used by special police and military units. I call it successor because originally this weapon was brought to life for the paratroopers, vehicle operators and officers but law enforcement agencies and almost the entire army also used it.
