Airsoft Action - May 2017

Welcome to Issue 74 of The Best Airsoft Magazine!

Back in Issue 72 we reported from the extravaganza that is the SHOT Show and in this issue we take you inside what is rapidly becoming Europe's equivalent, IWA OutdoorClassics where, just as at SHOT, Airsoft Action was the only UK news stand magazine to attend.

Plus we have four gun reviews, including the much-anticipated S&T Sterling and G&G PDW 15, plus Cybergun's SIG 226 and TM's M93R AEP, while our event reports come from both Gunman's latest Cold War series and the first ever Belgium Action Air Open.

We go onsite at Combat South Woodland, talk tactical training with Warzone, get Inside Airsoft at "The UK's only 5.11 Select Premium Dealer", TacTree and put on our shades as we head to the sun and Caribbean airsoft in Aruba.

We've not forgotten all you kit aficionados either, with the latest from Helikon-Tex, plus AimCam glasses, battle belts and the classic jungle boot, while Gadge looks at UN Peace Keepers in his “Warriors” series and the SA80 family in "Real Steel".

To round everything off Frenchie discusses the pros and cons of buying second hand and also asks "When is a gun a gun?", Jerry introduces us to a company that have, quite literally, turned airsoft into a stunning art-form and Paul Yelland digs into Army RatPacks while Billy brings us part one of “Operation Mercury”.

We have really enjoyed putting this issue together and hope you enjoy reading it just as much!
