Tokyo Marui Unveils The AA-12 AES At The 54th Shizuoka Hobby Show

OptimusPrime

Tokyo Marui pulled out a surprise at the ongoing 54th Shizuoka Hobby Show, with the unveiling of the first Airsoft AA-12 Automatic  Electric Shotgun (AES) in the world. This caught everybody by surprise as not even a hint was said when they posted their teaser images as part of their tradition a week before the Hobby Show begins. Oh boy! We do like what we see and we hope it performs as well as the Tokyo Marui M870 Tactical Gas Shotgun.

We're not yet posting an AAR of the 54th Shizuoka Hobby Show as we'll be waiting the images of the Tokyo Marui Exhibit Floor. But what we have right now are the first hand information of what will be the first batch of products from the company this year. This includes updated information on the M4 MWS Gas Blowback Rifle and the U.S. M9 Pistol with a Variable Hop-Up System.

But if you can't wait for our report, we highly recommend that you visit Hyperdouraku for their full report which is now online.
