Socom Gear once more launches a new 1911-type pistol. Package includes pistol itself, two magazines and a lanyard. If the gun follows the same line as the earlier Socom Gear -pistols, it feels very, very realistic compared to some other pistols. Pistol is also available in three colors, tan, OD and black.

Crosman Corporation – a manufacturer which is mostly known from their airguns launched their Verdict-BB´s almost year ago. Since then, we´ve heard rumors that they will launch their own Gameface -line of airsoft guns as well. Before this, they have had “airsoft” guns available under their original Crosman brand – which are really very simple and cheap “market grade” chinese toys.
Apparently their new guns have been manufactured by Classic Army, which gives more promise of quality and usability compared to the older line of guns. Gameface guns are available online from www.gamefaceairsoft.com
We´ve been preparing our fifth issue for quite a while now and we are certain that this is the best issue so far. Theres some real goodies coming up like Li-Po -battery and Echo1 E90 vs. CA90 Sportline -evaluations, quite interesting article about eye damages and large photo report from Berget 7 airsoft-game in Sweden. Of course, this is not all. Be sure to get your own copy and see the rest!
Something new has been confirmed. Apparently AGM has manufactured some prototypes of Russian PPSh-41 sub-machinegun from WWII-era, which seems to be quite well made. Obviusly, no airsoft manufacturer (even Chinese) cannot make these guns as crude as they were during the war in 1940´s.
Anyway, even this gun would not be available in 2010, this is something that people would be waiting for. There is not much other Russian WWII-guns available for re-enacting airsofters than KTWs´91-30.
Because people in ASCUK (british players, you know what we´re talking about) has welcomed us to UK markets so well, we promised to give something back at them. We offered the ASCUK-users one free article from our magazine and they voted for this article from our second issue.
Chinese newspaper, Shenzen Daily published a story, where Chinese officials destroy about 2800 airsoft guns and 1500 kilograms of spare parts. As we all know, airsoft is banned in China and officials think that is very hazardous for public safety to allow manufacturing gun-like-products in their area. Also, apparently they already have destroyed 12000 guns this year.

The long and eagerly awaited issue #4 of Airsoft Soldier is finally going to print. We know its been a long time coming, and we apologise for that. Unfortunately, we had some unforeseen problems in the design and production area, and our publishing schedule was also too ambitious. However, we’ve sorted these issues out, we have some new people on board to help us going forward, and we hope that you’ll agree that the magazine looks even better than before – and was worth the wait this time.
Our office just received a shipment in the form of a long box, and it certainly did not contain wooden sticks for our gardening hobby, which we were also expecting. The box in question revealed an airsoft version of the SVD (Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova), produced by Real Sword from Hong Kong.
