The Patrol Base TV team takes a look at the pre-built HPA Strike Industries Gridlok rifles, which arrive ready for action without needing a technician's intervention. These updated models feature the Wolverine Gen 2 Inferno engine and are recognizable by the air lines peeking out from the grip.

Rich Lort of Wolverine Airsoft gives a technical overview of the long-awaited MTW AK-105, shifting away from their traditional M4 platforms to deliver a purpose-built HPA rifle. Built rather solidly with steel parts, the replica avoids the typical gearbox clutter and instead integrates a patent-pending engine chassis system.

OK Airsoft decided to swap their bulky HPA tank for a CO2 adapter kit on the MTW-308 to solve a rather awkward cheek weld situation. Apparently, the old tank was so wide that aiming required either a massive riser or crushing one's face into the stock, which isn't exactly the tactical look most players go for. The move to 12g CO2 cartridges provides about 100 shots per pop, which is plenty for someone who doesn't treat their airsoft gun like a garden hose.

The MTW Daniel Defense MK18 (2026 version) has arrived earlier than expected at BZ Tactical, much to their delight. This HPA replica features a receiver machined from high-grade aluminum, mirroring the specifications of its real-world counterpart. It also includes authentic Daniel Defense furniture, such as the grip and stock, along with a PTS magazine right out of the box.

Airsoftjunkiez put out a video with Wolverine Airsoft who recently talk about their upcoming gear at Third Coast Airsoft's Stone Breaker 12, giving fans a closer look at what is hitting the shelves. The star of the table was the highly anticipated MTW AK-105, which features the Blink board. Whilst people are eager to get their hands on it, the message remains to stay patient just a little while longer as it nears its official release.

AirsoftNT does a deep dive into the world of airsoft maintenance and high-pressure air (HPA) system tuning. He begins by installing some shiny new Silent Industries upgrades for an MTW hop-up chamber, including a specialized adjustment wheel that offers 540 degrees of rotation. This extra range allows for much finer control over the hop-up pressure, solving the common headache where a tiny nudge of the dial normally sends your BBs flying toward the moon.

Kaslab Airsoft hits the airsoft field to test whether the new Wolverine Inferno XTS engine actually improves his expensive MTW setup. Before the shooting begins, he shows off a pair of Pentagon tactical shoes featuring a child-safe clicky-lace system, which is perfect for someone who admits to running around and falling over quite often. He jokes that the shoes might even help him run faster and improve his social life, though he mostly just hopes they keep his ankles intact.

Kaslab Airsoft compares the older Wolverine Inferno Gen 2 airsoft engine with the new XTS version. Whilst the newer model promises better efficiency and improved components like a stainless steel nozzle, it arrives as a bare-bones upgrade kit. This means users have to perform an organ transplant surgery by moving the solenoid and airline from their old setup to the new one, which he finds slightly tedious.

6mm Badger dives into his initial impressions of the new OG Carbon Works components for his MTW 308 platform. He begins by unboxing a carbon fiber barrel, marveling at its engineering and the tactile art of its design. Despite its feather-light weight, he finds the build quality remarkably robust, noting that the immediate feel in his hands is unlike any other accessory he has handled in the airsoft market.

Rummbolt explores whether the new Wolverine Inferno XTS engine can finally cure the dreaded "midcap syndrome" in MTW airsoft replicas. This annoying issue causes BBs to fly unpredictably as the magazine empties, usually because the high-pressure nozzle pushes the BBs too far into certain types of hop-up buckings. He compares his reliable, mostly stock setup against the new engine to see if the "extended stroke" technology allows for a wider variety of aftermarket parts without the usual headache.
