X-Fire/PDI-Japan, with Tomo at the lead of their group, filed this report that we copied fully from their website.  The highlight here is the release of the Tokyo Marui AKS74U that features the same blowback features such as the TM AK74MN.  Another TM is the M4 PMC which is a limited edition, so those who are into limited copies better reserve one for yourselves right away.  We're saying too much now, let's let Tomo say the rest of story when they were at 08 Hobby Show Shizuoka.

Airsoft International Magazine

The June 2008 issue of Airsoft International Magazine is now at retailers... "Fighting Against Success As we move effortlessly into yet another volume of Ai, we as publishers are holding off (as best we can) a cover price hike. Ai has now been the same price since we launched. Paper and print charges have risen, but we've done our very best to keep the cover price static, but I'm afraid to report that Ai will increase in price at some point in volume 4.

Landwarrior Airsoft

This good looking AK47 from Cyma at Landwarrior Airsoft would surely give VFC some headaches, and really looks good in the photo..."What happens when you take a AK 47s, strip it down and rebuild it from scratch using real wood and full metal parts? So it looks like the VFC version, except this one works better! This is a one off price due to the many hours to put it together!

Gunner Airsoft

If you do not fancy a dark earth colour on the DBoys SCAR-L replica, or you the dark earth verion is already out of stock, you can choose the black one instead, and Gunner Airsoft has it... "Hot release! CA replica, Aluminium machined Upper and polymer lower, and 400fps. With real trademark on the left side of receiver." This one looks closer the Classic Army SCAR-L CQC version which has been my favourite primary.

    In Love Again: Metal-bodied TM P90 RD
    Always lusted after but never possessed till now -- this is the TM P90 RD for me. Went the whole hog with a Systema FTK, GnP metal body, Prometheus sintered bushings, and a Sanyo 9.6v battery pack. Very accurate in stock form, it is everything I thought it would be.
  • Galaxy 6.5K
    Pinoy Airsoft Evolution 4 Video Review: Galaxy G.5K
    Finally, the Pinoy Airsoft Evolution Review Series just released their latest review: the Galaxy G.5K (MP5K). A shortened version of the MP5, the MP5K is sort of a pistolised version of the MP5 PDW and one of the nastiest little buggers in the real steel world. This is one of the favourite replicas of players who always dreamed of doing ala-matrix style in CQB sites. Moreso, this easily concealable weapon is an excellent choice for close-in security.

    A&K M249 Para Video Review
    One of the better produced airsoft video reviews on Youtube.com, the AnK M249 Para is presented like you almost think you're watching a Discovery Channel program. PinoyAirsoft.org now has its PinoyAirsoft Evolution video series, which they started with the KSC Glock 23F. Overall, they already have three video reviews available at Youtube.com, and in the near future they will release a video for the Galaxy MP5K.
  • JG_sig552.jpg
    Jing Gong JG SIG 552
    As Jing Gong (JG) has been known for, this is yet another clone of the Tokyo Marui SIG 552 Automatic Electric Gun (AEG). The good thing about All China Made (ACM) AEGs, JG especially, is their clones turn out to be better than the original most of the times in terms of function and affordability. Now let's see if the reputation of JG holds true in their version of the SIG 552...
  • Marushin 6mm FN Five-SeveN USG
    Marushin 6mm FN Five-SeveN USG
    Numerous enthusiasts enlisted in forum petitions for an FN Five-seveN GBB replica. But not much heard from them after Marushin responded with two versions, one in 6mm and another in 8mm, perhaps because these failed to live up to high expecations. Overall, however, the 6mm version is a good product from a reputable manufacturer.
