Not exactly a rumour since reports have been going out since last year on the Robinsons Arms XCR AEG to be made under the SOCOM Gear brand as we have reported some details here. We are expecting a release of this AEG by the year's end, but with the photo above, it means it hasn't reached full production stage. Thus, expect the release by next year. Perhaps they would show a full working model during the Shot Show 2011.

New video from People Airsoft, this time, not exactly a review, but a side by side comparison of two new sniper rifles in the airsoft market today, the Echo1 USA Airsoft M28, and the Javelin M24. A helpful video for those looking for airsoft sniper rifles. Depending on your budget, you can consider the pros and cons of both rifles.

People Airsoft present a video comparison between the SOCOM Gear and Snow Wolf Barrett M82A1 rifles. According to them the SOCOM Gear version is a more faithful replica and better build than the ACM version. But which would you pick for your use? Better watch the video if you prefer a more exact version over a rifle that does not faithfully mimick the original, but has a price advantage.

People Airsoft made of review of the MadBull Airsoft ACE M4 lipoly-ready stock tube which is also instructive as they show how to install to your M4 AEG... "Thanks for the great review. You don’t need bulky batery box for your M4 AEG anymore. Using special design M4 stock tube to store your battery and make your AEG look like real thing!"
