Simo got a secondhand CyberGun SCAR-H gas blowback airsoft rifle, manufactured by VFC. Despite wearing a black shirt that accidentally blends in with the black rifle, he points out the authentic FN Herstal markings. Upon opening the gun up, he notices that unlike typical VFC models, there are very few steel parts inside. He encounters a few quirks during the reassembly process but manages to put everything back together using a tool built right into the front of the rifle.
6mm Badger provides a practical walkthrough for airsoft enthusiasts looking to squeeze more performance out of the EMG Ballerina platform.

Blackstar give their take on the M9A4 Tan GBB from Rossi, one of their releases for 2026... "Let's go to our first review in the series of Rossi releases this year.

What do you think? But first watch Sniper-AS on what they say about it. They explain that while the rifles themselves are a choice, the real financial commitment comes from the magazines, which can cost nearly as much as a second gun if you want more than a few.
