SHOT Show 2015: More Reports from AMSTV, ASGI, & Finally, Airsoft Obsessed

Logan

We report on the Day 4 videos and indeed Airsoft Megastore still has more videos to feed us and keep us engaged as we update ourselves on what's new and what's up in the airsoft industry at the SHOT Show 2015 which ended yesterday, the 23rd of January 2015. Red Mckenzie still had the energy to go around and bring us some reports that will interest our readers.

We all have heard about the cooperation between PolarStar Airsoft and Elite Force/Umarex. This means that complete airsoft guns of HPA-powered airsoft guns will be out on the market that will be powered by the Polar Star Fusion F1 Drop in HPA System. PolarStar has been cooperating with VFC on complete ones, and with the cooperation of Umarex and VFC, this new agreement is not at all surprising.

Since we have mentioned about Elite Force, Red gets hold of Vince Mann a former face of Airsoft Megastore and now working with Elite Force.  They discuss about the Elite Force G36 series that come with programmable MOSFETS. He also follows through with another video taken from the KWA booth, and this features the new KWA AKG KCR Gas Blowback Rifle. We don’t know if the ZShot booth visit is the last in the Airsoft Megastore videos from the SHOT Show, but here he presents us the Ares Airsoft Amoeba Modular Handguard System.

We have been looking forward to video reports from Airsoft Obsessed, and they didn’t disappoint as the Tominator, as Tom Harris is known in the airsoft community, visits the G&G Armament Booth.  The first one is the discussion of the new M1 Garand AEG, which is the second M1 Garand AEG offering in the market, right  after the ICS M1 Garand AEG. Together with Rick of G&G, they go over the DSG/High Speed Set Up which for those who are looking for high ROF setups, then they might to check these out.  To top off his G&G visit, they present the new versions of the popular and affordable Combat Machines.

The Tominator also visited the Jag Precision booth, and checks the much vaunted E&L Airsoft AK line-up. For those looking for airsoft AKs that will go a long long way in terms of durability like the real AK, then the E&L Airsoft AKs are the go to AEGs. He also checks the booth of Code Red Headsets, the popular radio comms store amongst airsoft players in the U.S.

Airsoft GI uploaded a video giving us a rundown of their interviews with other airsoft manufacturers and vendors some of the videos we have already posted here. But expect more from them post SHOT Show 2015 as they have interviews with KWA, Krytac, Elite Force, G&G, ASG, Condor Outdoor, Polarstar, Palco Sports, ZSHOT, Spartan Imports, Jag Precision, Valken, and more.

In the real steel area, we see Larry Vickers of Vickers Tactical visit the Surefire exhibit area as goes over the latest products apart from the usual line of tactical lights, which means the SOCOM Suppressors, Flash Hider, Blast Diverter, and the new XC1.  He also visits the Mile High booth to discuss the Wilson Combat .308 RECON in the AR-10 format.

To end our SHOT Show 2015 Week Feature, here is a video from LWRC, showing their new firearms line-up. We have been looking forward to getting more LWRC in the airsoft market, but it seems to have slowed down to a halt. If representatives from Classic Army are reading this, it's time to put out new LWRC AEGs.

But this is not the last of the SHOT Show 2015 reports, as we expect more to come in the following two or three weeks as others still have to process their photos and videos taken from the show. Expect more in our news section.
