In this review by Explosive Enterprises, they find the Tokyo Marui AKM is a gas blowback airsoft rifle that prioritizes consistent performance over raw realism. While it consists mostly of alloy and plastic, the finish is convincing enough to trick people from a distance. The internal design is smart, featuring a unique fire control group and a recoil buffer system that reduces wear on the metal components.
Explosive Enterprises scrutinize the T238 Airsoft Electric Loader "Pro", which is claimed to be an advanced alternative to common speedloaders, featuring a clear polycarbonate body and a surprisingly high-tech internal system. Unlike simpler models, this device includes a digital screen and a five-position switch to manage various settings, such as battery voltage monitoring and a BB counter.
In this preview by Explosive Enterprises, the GHK AK-105 appears to be a redemptive effort for the manufacturer, addressing previous quality control mishaps that once made that the AKM V3 GBB rifles more akin to expensive paperweights. This pre-production preview highlights a sturdier steel receiver that can no longer be bent by hand, which is a relief for anyone who prefers their firearm to remain straight.
Explosive Enterprises features the Tokyo Marui M870 gas shotgun which is akin to an expensive kitchen gadget you bought with high hopes: it looks the part and has some neat tricks, but using it daily reveals some quirks. On paper, it offers a choice between firing three or six BBs at once, utilizing a convenient gas tank hidden in the stock. While it feels solid enough, the balance is a little unusual, and the plastic furniture reminds you that it isn't quite a real-steel firearm.
Explosive Enterprises explores the VFC Airsoft OSW, a compact version of the FAL that manages to fix several issues found in its full-sized predecessor while somehow finding a way to introduce a few new ones. It features a shortened gas system, a folding stock, and a relocated recoil assembly that gives the bolt a bit more attitude. It’s a solid choice for those who want a battle rifle's soul in a package that doesn't require a permit for wide turns.
Preparing a new airsoft gas blowback rifle (GBBR) requires specific startup procedures. Following the methods outlined by Explosive Enterprises, users can navigate the initial cleaning, component modification, and routine maintenance needed for consistent operation. This process covers internal upgrades, hop-up adjustments, and the necessary break-in period for a new platform.
Explosive Enterprises got their hands on the 40Max Cyclops 2 if there are improvements. This is a 40mm airsoft shell featuring a single-barrel design that stores 110 BBs in a spiral track. This version introduces a top-down feed system and a longer central barrel, providing a flatter flight trajectory and a tighter spread compared to traditional multi-barrel shells.
A good look by Explosive Enterprises at the kit made by ITP for the Tokyo Marui SAIGA-12 SBS and turn it into a bullpup... "Fresh from ITP is their aluminum bullpup conversion kit for the Tokyo Marui Saiga-12K, along with a host of other parts either recently released or coming soon from ITP. Today we're exploring the whole family of Saiga parts and seeing what they're useful for."
Explosive Enterprises shows how to deal with rust in airsoft guns and how to keep it away... "Today we're fixing up a deliberately rusted airsoft gun, and reviewing how to prevent corrosion in the future. All the same principles will apply to gear, equipment, and real guns alike."

Episode 4 of Q&A series from Explosive Enterprises covers several airsoft topics, starting with a confirmation that a review of the VFC HK53 replica is planned, which will highlight its differences from the MP5. For airsoft optics, they advises against most EOTech clones, which function as red dots rather than true holographics, but points to the Evolution Gear clone as an option.
