GHK Airsoft is well known because of their high end GBB rifle's. They already offer an impressive range of MY, AK, AUG and G5 models. During the Taiwan Hooha Show GHK showed a first teaser of their new GHK SIG 552 GBB prototype. This is something interesting and we will try to get more information asap. Unfortunately, there is no further information available yet about the expected launch date or price.

Airsoft.nu reports that the largest airsoft shop in Europe just opened in Sweden. Last 26 August 2017, Frysen Airsoft's new store in Jönköping finally opened with a big number of customers dropping by to check what the store has available for them. The whole facility (walk-in shop, warehouse, and office) is 600sqm (6,458sqft). Their aim is to become the biggest in the world!

Evike Superstore in the USA is over 100,000 square feet (over 9,290sqm) so they have way to go. When ever in Sweden, this is certainly recommended to bring a visit as Airsoft enthousiast... You do know a bigger airsoft shop in Europe? Do let us know :)

This is sad news again, after the fire at Redwolf UK in July, now Bulgarian company Airsoft Systems is struck by fire. During IWA 2012 a first prototype of the ASAR-15 was introduced, looks like the final model is pushed back till 2018 now. The picture above shows the factory in better times with the ASAR-15 finished internals...  

On August 24-th an explosion in a neighboring warehouse has started a fire that has completely destroyed our factory. By miracle there are no casualties, we are all fine. The complete batch of ASAR-15 rifles that were ready for deliveries to our distributors is destroyed in the fire.

Also a very large quantity of the very new ASCU2-Gen5 and ASCU3-Gen5 have been completely burned.
Currently we are working to renew the production of the ASCU series, which will be fully functional in 2 weeks.

Customer support might work with some delays, but will not stop. The ASAR project will be rebuilt. We expect to be able to start deliveries in 2018. This diaster, will not stop us! We are airsoft players that never quit their mission!
