I always look forward to knowing the winners of Hyperdouraku's Custom Gun Contest, an annual airsoft custom contest where the creative minds of Japanese airsoft players (overseas entries are also welcome) really are just on another level. For this year, the winner's designs were just awesome and wish that their creations can go into mass production.

Whilst most of the entries are really nice to have, the winners of the Gold and Silver Awards, based on online voting show how this year's designs took custom work up notch. The OICW XM29 entry, which was one of the Gold Award winner and this one of the guns that I want to see produced as an airsoft gun. The other Gold Award winner, the Jionikku M-120A1 Zaku Machine Gun is a favourite of overseas voters and it is a gun that looks it's the child of the Lewis Automatic Machine Gun and the Calico Light Weapon System.

Both the Silver Award Winners are custom airsoft pistols. The first one, a customised P08 Desert Ruger, is what a Ruger's evolution if the model was continued into the 21st Century. It has a more modern pistol grip, an under rail, and a reflex sight. The second  winner, Full Frontal Wind FN5-7, could comfortable be designed for use in another Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare game or any futuristic FPS video game or sci-fi movie. For me, are items that I'd be hesitant to use them in a game as they're just beautiful.
