When Western Arms introduced the first M4A1 Gas Blowback Rifle in 2008, they set the standard in gas blowback rifle developement with several airsoft manufacturers adopting their design for their own M4 GBB-R line-up. When it was first introduced the receiver was made of plastic but according to Hyperdouraku, they have recently adopted a metal receiver for better quality. This review is about the  COLT M4A1 American Sniper Custom Series so find out what other improvements they made for this GBB-R.

Hyperdouraku reviews the Westerm Arms Shibuya Bereyya M2FS Inox Gas Blowback Pistol. The Inox means it has an inoxidizable finish which is the first that Beretta released with that kind of finishing. The Western Arms version is the Heavy Weight (HW) construction. It has a red dotted front and rear sights with original markings and has a 6.03mm inner barrel for more accurate shooting.

Another Blast from The Past video by RedWolf Airsoft TV. This time it's the Western Arms Desert Eagle .44 GBB... "I love how we always find these lying around somewhere, in perfect condition of course. When it comes to rare Airsoft replicas, especially in the case of Desert Eagles, The Western Arms version takes the cake. Western Arms still makes replicas today, albeit, not as popular as they were back in the day, but does this GBB still have enough ‘Umph’ to compete with modern day GBBs?

One of the gas blowback pistols you might want to have as part of your collection is the Western Arms M92FS Leon GBB. This comes with a compensator and a silencer making it a good hitman's weapon. With the Magna Blowback it will produce a hard kick. It's hard to find it with airsoft retailers with the exception of Japanese airsoft retailers.

Mach Sakai gives it a full review with the video version you can watch below (in Japanese):

Mach Sakai reviews the Western Arms 1911 Biohazard Gas Blowback Pistol. This has fully engraved markings in both sides, including the Springfield Armory markings. He does a full take down of the pistol showing the internals and tested it for a round of practical shooting where he was able to hit the bulls eye. He enjoys shooting the pistol especially with the heavy weight recoil feature.

Mach Sakai gets his hands on what is a rare item to find these days, the Western Arms LA Vickers Custom 1911 Early Battle Damage Gas Blowback Pistol. He shows us the features that makes this 1911 very unique such as the ambidextrous safety, 3-hole trigger, and beavertail, finding it a luxurious race gun for airsoft practical shooting. With the Magna Blowback he can feel the strong cycle and strong kick when firing which for him makes this pistol even more fun to shoot.

Mach Sakai have reviewed a good number of the airsoft Beretta M9 and M9A1 Pistols from different brands such as Tokyo Marui and KSC, gas blowbacks or as Automatic Electric Pistols (AEP). Now he gets to lay his hands on a good gas blowback M9A1 and this time it's from Western Arms.

Mach Sakai reviews the Western Arms SCW (Shibuya Custom Works) Wilson Combat Super Grade GBB Pistol. This is a very high spec pistol with a fixed hop-up and uses the WA MAGNA Blowback System. This has the full Wilson Combat markings and comes with the Diamond grip panel. This comes with a compensator as compared to the WA SCW Wilsim Combat Tactical Super Grade version. He finds it easy to use with a light trigger, great accuracy, and easy to use.

Mach Sakai reviews the Western Arms Colt M16A4 Assault Rifle Super Version. This is based on the gas blowback design for AR platforms by Western Arms, which starter the gas blowback development for airsoft rifles and was copied or adapted by other manufacturers. Mach Sakai finds it has good live fire performance which is enjoyable for those who want to enjoy intense recoil. It is a heavy rifle when compared to AEGs, especially its magazine. But as a gas blowback rifle, it is fun to shoot.
