Before I start, we apologise for not having boots on the ground during the IWA Outdoor Classics 2024. We had scheduling conflicts that made us unable to attend the event given that it marked a significant milestone, which its 50th anniversary.

For the 2024 edition, the Airsoft industry got their own area, whilst in the pre-Covid 19 pandemic, it was Hall 8, this year it was a Hall 2 given that the airsoft industry is increasing tis presence once again after lockdowns were lifted in East Asia where some of the strictest lockdowns were imposed.

With good airsoft media presence, there is more than adequate coverage of the event and we have been scouring the interwebs, in particular YouTube for reports posted by some of the prolific content creators and media outfits in the airsoft, outdoor and firearms industries with the latter also presented here as they have products that the airsoft community will definitely have interests in.

So, we begin with Moorlander Tactical, who visited LCT Airsoft, Condor Outdoor, Vorsk/Nuprol, Silverback Airsoft, and Helikon-Tex.

 The ePig Group got hold of Airsoft Helden, which is partner of the organisers in putting up the “Airsoft Experience.” Among other reports they posted, they covered Sellmark a company that carries brands for the firearm, airsoft, and outdoor industries; FAB Defense for their tactical accessories; Barrett Firearms which licensed its designs for airsoft use; and Lowa for some tactical footwear.

 We also have Umarex TV showing the airsoft and airgun products from where else? Umarex.

Patrol Base were there too and visited the Vorsk and ASG booths to check out what's in store for airsofters.

Eddie of CRW Airsoft, which has moved to the UK from Hong Kong, gives us a preview of the VFC FN FNC & FNC Tactical gas blowback rifles.

The Heavy Recoil Club also visited VFC and they got footage of the upcoming AK74M GBBR.

Remember that these are some of the initial reports we found, and we are expecting more videos which our friends from Airsoft.nu will soon be posting. So please do look forward to their reports.
