JG M4 S-System Review

2010-01-05T07:49:00.003-05:00

This very sturdy JG M4 S-System gun is a great one to add to your collection. It's weight makes it feel real.

The rail extends across the top - for top mount scopes - it has side rails for both sides and a bottom rail.

This version is VERY high quality using metal and strong reliable plastic for it's casing.

The front and rear sites are easily set, giving you a clear shot every time.

The JG M4 S-System gives quite the thrill when you switch from semi-automatic to automatic. This gun is accurate in it's shot too. It's definitely one to add to your Airsoft collection. It's fun, it's sturdy, it feels like the real deal.

Q5 Cree LED Tactical Flashlight Review

2009-08-06T15:42:00.002-04:00

Features a CREE Q5 LED Emitter
2-mode tailcap clicky switch: Hi > Lo
Max output is about 250 lumens
Aluminum module construction with textured reflector
Powered by 2xCR123A batteries
Price = $39.99

Review: Very useful output for outdoor use. Good for illuminating areas of a 50ft x 100ft yard. Illuminates trees approx. 200ft away clear enough to see what lurks in the branches at night. Slightly larger spill area than some others, due to a less-deep parabolic reflector. Good overall size, not too big to put in a pocket.

Equipped with a RIS fore-grip, the battery is installed in the rear extendable stock. A pistol grip is included for users to allow better aiming. Unlike the M4 RIS, you can now attach aiming devices to the top as well as the bottom of the RIS since there is no fake laser/battery on the top. Plastic parts are limited to the RIS, pistol grip and the rear extendable stock. Everything else on this gun is metal!

2009-02-16T14:45:00.001-05:00

The Marui G36 Shorty, more popularly known as the MC-51, was developed in England based on the G3 series Assault rifle.

2009-01-03T12:49:00.001-05:00

HFC M190 Full/Semi Auto

An exact replica in terms of design and function of the Marui M9, this M92 from HFC is a bargain. HFC improved the Marui design with an enlarged and ported gas valve, thereby delivering 20fps more than the Marui Tactical Master / M9.

2009-01-03T12:46:00.001-05:00

Echo 1 Model 4 A1 Airsoft Rifle Version 3

For over a decade, the M4A1 has been the de facto rifle for many factions of the United States Special Forces. An updated version of the venerable M16 service rifles, the M4 is based off it's predecessor's proven design. The M4A1 is employed by several U.S. military units, including the U.S. Delta Force, U.S. Navy SEALs, and the U.S. Marine Corps. The M4A1 Carbine is especially favored by Counter-Terrorist and Special Forces units for close quarter battles because of the carbine's retractable butt stock that has intermediate stops allowing versatility without compromising shooting capabilities.
The M4A1 is designed for fast action and light weight. It's sighting system also features dual apertures. These unique characteristics make it a very versatile weapon and very useful in urban warfare situations.Thanks to it's popularity, the range of options available for the M4 series airsoft guns are endless. This robust rifle can fulfill nearly every tactical role from close quarters battles to long range combat.

Modded Well MP5 Shooting

2008-12-12T13:33:00.002-05:00

This is a short video showing the rate of fire (ROF) you can achieve with a standard WELL LPEG MP5 upgraded with a good battery and a high-torque motor. This is not recommended as a reliable setup without diving into the gearbox, cylinder and piston. If you wanted this level of performance and decent reliability, you should look into tuning the gearbox (new bushings, shim job), heavy gauge wiring and potentially a new cylinder setup.

Moving up slightly to a better MPEG rather than a LPEG would be a better up front investment and would allow you to push your airsoft rifle harder without having to replace all the internals.
