At IWA 2011 and on several news websites there were a lot of rumours about a new gearbox design of RealSword and complete new AEG's like the M16/M4 models. Those new models will be equipped with a completely new mechanism: the gearbox and engine are much more compact and reproduce the movement of the head as a GBBR through an elctro-magnetic system. This system completes with the Recoil System Shock.

Till today these where mainly rumours and prototypes, RealSword just confirmed these new models and send us the first exclusive looks  on their manuals. Check out the pictures below of the RS M4A1/RIS GBB model and the RS M16 A4 AEG:

This is a great article about Realsword i found at our friends of Popular Airsoft, a really nice read. Also check out their latest issue of the Popular Airsoft Magazine...

Real Sword gave the airsoft world a first look at what China’s People’s Liberation Army totes – the Type 97 (Chinese designation QBB-97), a light machine gun (LMG) with a bullpup configuration and adapted to fire 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge from M16-compatible magazines. The RS Type 97 and 97B AEG is an airsoft gun made as a replica of the Type 97 and 97B Chinese assault rifles. By 2008, the company is at it again, keeping the airsoft community abuzz with the release of its Russian SVD replica.

Chatting with Helen Lin, Vice GM, we learned that RS International Industry Hong Kong Co. Ltd is made up of avid airsoft enthusiasts who have seen the sport’s evolution from the early CO2 days to its present. Back then, Tokyo Marui (TM) products and their clones dominate the airsoft market, she said, which prompted the founders of RS International to take a closer look at how TM develops their AEGs.
