Popular Airsoft Magazine September 2008: Snipers!

Brahma

Solitary. Mysterious. Deadly. These are just a few descriptions of a sniper that we have encountered during the making of this issue. More often than not, we regard snipers in a more melodramatic way--as hun­ters stalking its prey... or even as a lone assassin waiting for the kill. Why the fascination about snipers?

Top Tech TM4 Carbine: This is just not another M4 AEG

OptimusPrime

You may cringe that there's another M4 in the airsoft market, as the market is already saturated by a lot of variants of this AEG.  But we don't mind, as the variety of M4s in the market just makes aftermarket parts for the M4 AEG widely available, sort of like having a “Toyota” around.

Who Needs Gas? A Closer Look at CM.030 and DE M81 Ver. 2 AEPs

Brahma

An automatic electric pistol (AEP) is a smaller-frame AEG that runs on a 7.2V battery. Its internals are shrunk down in order to fit in a smaller frame—such as a pistol or small machine pistol—giving a lower muzzle velocity than a stock AEG. Arguably, they are more reliable than pistols that run on gas, especially in cold weather.
