G&G announced a nice extention of their productline today, with 2 revolvers, 4 pistols (two with integrated lasers), a whopping 6 AK-style rifles, and 3 M4/M16 style 'pink storm' rifles. 

The pink storm catagory is true to it's name, the guns are completely pink, therefor finding perhaps less use in a skirmish field (unless you like to stand out), but it's probably a great asset for cosplay.

Also, if you register your purchase with them, you can win a VIP trip to Taiwan!

Modify released an announcement concerning an updated version of their 7mm reinforced gearbox product.

The main new added features are:

• a thinner, more durable coating, ensuring a better fit in the body
• more durable coating, lasting longer

they have also changed the color of the gearbox, to black.

For all you airsofters out there who really want to take maintenance, tweaking and tuning, and most of al: building of your replica to a next level, Systema Engineering might have announced something for you today.

Enter the Super Challenge Kit: all parts, gears, springs and connectors, you get to put together yourself. The philisophy being one every engineer can completely relate to: if you want to be able to maintain it propperly, you are the one who has to put it together from the first to the last  screw.
