OptimusPrime

During a range session, Simo evaluated a fellow gamer’s Barrett REC10, an electric airsoft rifle modeled after the 7.62mm caliber platform from Barrett Firearms.

OptimusPrime

Simo does unboxing and initial testing of the BATON Airsoft Glock 19X MOS, a CO2-powered gas blowback pistol. He notes that this licensed Umarex model arrives with various mounting plates for red dot sights, though he admits he doesn’t actually own any optics to put on them. The gun sports a tan finish that sits somewhere between gold and desert sand, providing a nice break from the endless sea of black Glocks usually seen at the range.

Simo takes a closer look at the Baton M1911 CO2 Gas Blowback airsoft gun, which arrives looking quite sharp with its Ceracoat finish and real wood grips. Whilst it certainly looks the part of a high-end replica, the initial experience is less of a tactical operation and more of a mechanical mystery tour. Simo and his guest are immediately struck by how much it resembles actual metal, though they quickly find that beauty is only skin-deep when the parts start acting up.

OptimusPrime

Simo GBB does a hands-on review of the Carbon8 M1911 LSP, a CO2-powered gas blowback airsoft pistol. He admits to purchasing the gun on a whim, perhaps as a way to console himself after some recent losses at the pachinko parlor. It is a straightforward, no-frills model with a two-tone black and dark grey finish. Notably, it lacks a mounting rail, so anyone hoping to attach a flashlight or laser might find themselves out of luck unless they enjoy using a lot of duct tape.

OptimusPrime

Simo gives his take on the Marui Saiga 12 SBS gas blowback gun. He had purchased the shotgun used for 39,800 yen and admitted it was the gas blowback he had secretly wanted above all others. He goes over its unusual aesthetics: a compact body contrasted by an enormous, unbalanced magazine. SIMO believed the Saiga delivered the strongest recoil of any Marui gas long gun and praised its ability to fire in full-auto mode.

Shooting With The Tokyo Marui MTR16 GBB With A Long Magazine

OptimusPrime

During a test of the Tokyo Marui MTR16 GBB, Simo observed the predominantly genuine parts and specifically highlighted the 45-round PMAG-style magazine and its distinctive sight. Initial test firing with 0.25g BBs demonstrated the rifle's accuracy, particularly impressive given the small target, though some gas-related issues prompted a suggestion to use semi-auto mode; subsequently, he switched to a long magazine, appreciating its visual integration with the longer handguard.
