Following a late summer break, the Airsoft Action HQ Crew has returned to the office with everything updated and unleashed Issue 179 of their free to read magazine. The entire AA Legion is ready to hit the ground running as they head into Q4 and all the excitement of Show Season 25/26. For their readers, they have prepared another issue crammed-to-the-brim, with a focus this month on all things “9 Mil.” Bill gives his first look at the awesome new Stribog AEG from Delta Armory while Stewbacca sets his sights on the MD-9 GBB from VFC. This theme continues into RED CELL as the team details their experiences with some of the newer and more esoteric SMG models in their long-term test pool.

Sticking within the Armoury, they get together with Mike from the British Forces Airsoft Collection, to look at what he creates and how readers can take their own UK-centric builds to a whole new level. Their good mate Ratty returns to the pages of AA as he and Rich recount their recent brush with real-world drone technology. Bruno fills the TECH-slot as he gets behind the latest HOLO2 optic from Holy Warrior. Miguel offers tips on “end-of-season” options for a 2026 summer wardrobe, and Bill gets scarily intrigued by PHANTOMLEAF camo in Kit & Gear.

To round things out this month, as always, they turn to airsoft events around the world. Stewbacca and “Military Anny” tell of their exploits at this year’s Bade Street Showdown, and then Stewbacca lands his main, in-depth report on the Action Air World Shoot 2025. All in all, they present another corker of an issue, and they hope that their readers will be both enlightened and entertained with their take on the very best in global airsoft in all its wonderful forms.
