PolarStar Airsoft's answer to Wolverine Airsoft's SMP, the F1 Drop-in HPA Engine is now in production. Whilst similar to the SMP it uses a separate nozzle and poppet and can be dropped to any AEG gearbox as there is the centerline and offset versions...

"Yes, that's right! The long awaited F1's are finally in production and are slated to be released in March.

F1 Center-line: $350.00
F1 Offset: $375.00

F1 will be slightly more air efficient than Jack..."

Bolt Airsoft posted on their Facebook page a video showing the prototype Bolt MB5 BRSS AEG being tested. This is probably is the first MP5 AEG that comes with blowback and recoil features. It has been some time now since somebody released a new MP5 airsoft gun and this one should be good for those looking for a CQB AEG that has the BRSS features. No idea yet when this will be released though, hopefully we will find out more during IWA 2016.

They now claim to have made an MP5 AEG model with strongest recoil power in the world! First impressions on the video look solid, hopefully this model is a bit more reliable than their M4 models. That sound.... is at least different ;)

UPDATE: Release is set for June 2016!

On november 30th 2015 BO MANUFACTURE annoucned their very promissing MTO Magnetic platform. This week they announced all their M4 AEG's from BO and VFC purchased in a BO shop will be eligible for the MTO technology!

Within months after the MTO Phantom kicked off (sometime in Spring 2016), we will activate a MTO Workshop Factory right at the production plant in Bordeaux. Each BO AEG owner will be able to contact us through a dedicated web platform to have its M4 replica modified to MTO. More details (pricing, date, process,...) soon available!

Keep faith, it is coming! All the BO M4 AEG are MTO ready. BO MANAUFACTURE will also join the Arisoft Meetup and shop their 2 pre-production models :) 

At long last our new Cyclone grenade is ready to ship. Samples arrived and a review is online soon! You can grab yours at your favourite retailer or direct from us here: http://bit.ly/1VUQTvC Production at our Toronto headquarters is going full steam (we had to seriously expand staff to keep up with initial demand) and we’re getting some really great feedback from our early adopters around the world.

The Cyclone airsoft impact grenade is our newest fully reusable gas powered BB firing airsoft frag grenade. Building on our experience after creating the original Tornado grenade 6 years ago, we’ve managed to make the Cyclone smaller, lighter, more powerful, faster to reload, more reliable and (most importantly) more affordable than any grenade out there. Essentially, you set the trigger, fill with gas and BBs, destroy the enemy as you would with a real grenade, and repeat hundreds of times.

We did write about Cybergun obtaining the GLOCK contract back in October 2015, unfortunately we figgered out this was only for specific market training needs. As confirmed by Cybergun.

Now Cybergun announced availability of this airsoft version to this specific market, the waiting starts for the official introduction into the Airsoft Market. Perhaps during IWA 2016? ;)
