The heaviest day of the Military, Outdoor and Airsoft (MOA) Exhibition 2018 organised by the QRF Magazine in Taipei, Saturday saw a deluge of airsofters, industry representatives, as well as purchasers from around the world. The latter is significant as we see airsoft dealers and retailers from Asia and Europe checking out products and sealing deals with potential suppliers to keep airsoft players happy in their locations.

If you are an airsoft business, the MOA Exhition is an event that can be hard to ignore. Whilst the bigger names in airsoft can be found at the SHOT Show in the U.S. as well as the IWA Outdoor Classics in Germany, the MOA Exhibition showcases some brands and companies that do not have presence in this bigger trade fares. There are interesting techs and products carried by the smaller companies in Taiwan that checking them out in person is worth a trip to the island.

The airsoft media got a get together as usual. For now it is an informal affair with Airsoft.nu, WMASG.pl, Airsoftology, TacticalTwo, Hyperdouraku, Arms Magazine, QRF Magazine, and of course Popular Airsoft. The more airsoft media reps present here, then we might have a side event so that both the airsoft media and the Taiwan airsoft industry can have a more beneficial relationship. Apart from the usual talk on the exhibit floor, our Hot Pot dinner has grown bigger.

Whereas we were four before, now we are nine. Hopefully, next year we get to see more of the airsoft media in Taipei to join us in covering the event.
Full story of the event to follow, videos are on the Popular Airsoft Facebook Page as well as the second day photos.
