What To Expect In Airsoft After The SHOT Show 2013

OptimusPrime

Indeed, 2013 sounds like an exciting year for airsoft with all the revelations of upcoming products that would delight airsoft players from all over. The build-up has started last year with big and small airsoft outfits getting more creative at producing new models, or improving on just newly released models with their upgrade or custom work.

The airsoft people on the ground at the SHOT Show 2013 have been doing a magnificent job reporting what they see and observe on the exhibit floor, whilst our jealous selves get their feeds for us to post here.

What we have noticed is that KWA is stepping up the game in terms of output and innovation, and putting together all these partnerships they have with real steel companies and even their own competitors. What they have put out is an ever spreading out net in the airsoft world.  Their presence is now being felt around the world, with Europe being the last frontier in tapping the major airsoft markets, as brought about their appointment of Defiance Airsoft as their European partner and their development of the KRISS Vector GBB SMG under licence from KRISS Arms S.A.  We will see more and more KWA this year as their profile, whilst already high, is now sky high.

Even this report will be full of KWA videos, with a smattering of reports from their other and fierce competitors. So start first with Airsoft Megastore with their video recap of Day 2 of the SHOT Show 2013:

"Catch up with the Airsoft Megastore TV crew as they journey onto to day 2 of Shot Show 2013. On day 2 they get the latest news from KWA and Thumpy. Learn more about the KWA PTS collaborative efforts and get the latest scoop from Thumpy himself. Be sure to stay tuned for more!

Dr. Airsoft of Airsoft Medicine reminds everyone to always check their YouTube Channel to watch their latest SHOT Show 2013 video as they have been prolific at putting up their video reports. Clicking play on the video below will start the SHOT Show 2013 video playlist they have:

"We have new videos posted to our YouTube Shot Show 2013 Playlist, including ESS SHOOTING lenses with a gun, a peek at the G&G M1 Garand, and an antifog coating demonstration with Edge Tactical."

Yosser, with his Airsoft Odyssey Blog, might not be there at the SHOT Show 2013 like us, but he has eyes glued to his monitor as takes in reports and he reports on the Action Sports Games (ASG) CZ Scorpion EVO and more goodies as provided by Mad Badger Airsoft:

"We may not be at Shot Show 2013 living it up with the Airsoft press but still have ways to get you the intel that counts.

Roving reporters from Mad Badger Airsoft are doing the rounds for us and getting you the intel. Check out the latest update from the ASG Booth with news on the hugely anticipated CZ Scorpion EVO and more here."

But here's the main batch of videos from the SHOT Show 2013 as of this writing as Evike.com's EvikeTV just sent us a boatload of videos for us to post. We put them separately rather than in a playlist to give you the freedom of which video report you want to view first. Matt did a good job in all of these videos:

Those videos would last you half day if you're not at work or in school. But we are not done yet with  the reports as there will be more this weekend even as the SHOT Show 2013 wraps up. We're looking forward to the Airsoft MeSS where the airsoft media will be partying post SHOT Show.
