If one thing that gets our attention, it's Tanio Koba's creation. The giant among airsoft designers have collaborated with KJ Works and the result is the new KJ Works M4 Gas Blowback Rifle. Reasonably priced at US$305 at eHobby Asia, it boasts of the Tanio KOba's GBB System which many have craved for when viewing Tanio Koba's GBB creations at Youtube. This should give stiff competition to WA and WE in the gas blowback area. We hope the magazines would be reasonably priced too.
