Airsoft Action - October 2023
Even though we're currently having our annual vacation and office shutdown, here we go with the the very latest issue of AIRSOFT ACTION, and as usual it's a bit of a beast with 100 PAGES of free-to-read news, reviews, event reports from around the globe, and a healthy dose of attitude and airsoft opinion! Kicking off with our headline review this month Bill gets some serious rangetime in with the KING ARMS TWS 9MM SBR, an AR GBBR that actually uses G-SERIES magazine many of you probably already have for your handguns... why are more people not talking about this breakthrough gas model... we have no idea, but we'll certainly say our piece! Following on from there we have a first look at the all-new SGR 556 from G&G, the just-released ICS CXP APE SE,and the newest BATTLE ARMS DEVELOPMENT SBR AEG (courtesy of Larri in his first-ever AEG review!) from our old mates at REDWOLF! Then there's a further FIFTEEN SMG models that are moving on through the RED CELL testing program, along with a recap on the ROSSI NEPTUNE SAS six-months in! In terms of kit Bill reflects back on the clothing and gear that he used on the FAST TACTICAL training course he attended recently, and the good folk of the AA LEGION "GO GREEN FTW!" And then... THEN... we have our annual report from the AA crew that attended the NATIONAL AIRSOFT FESTIVAL in the UK, a BIG game report from Portugal thanks to Miguel, and our power-duo of Stewbacca and Anny firstly get "Inside LCT" for an update, and secondly bring in the lowdown on the DING DING CUP Steel Challenge in Taiwan, an event that AIRSOFT ACTION was honoured to support! So, you want more gear, more guns, more news, and more airsoft? You'll find a bit of everything airsoft in this issue, so kick back and get stuck in!

KING ARMS TWS ASG 9MM STEYR SBR L9-A2 GBB<br />
work with a team of likeminded<br />
friends who train and<br />
play together regularly then it<br />
is my belief that you can hold<br />
your own with a gasser in<br />
pretty much any scenario.<br />
Of course the main<br />
constraint to gas platforms in<br />
my, and just about everyone’s,<br />
mind is cost. Again, I’ve said<br />
this before, but basic gas<br />
platfroms, especially AR-styles,<br />
are coming down and down<br />
in price and in time even the<br />
most “bare bones” models<br />
will get more durable and<br />
reliable. However, once you’ve<br />
bought into a gas platform<br />
the expenditure has only just<br />
started as unlike AEGs gas<br />
magazines ARE expensive.<br />
I’d go as far as saying that<br />
to date the cost involved in<br />
setting yourself up as a gas<br />
user is largely down to buying<br />
a decent mag load, and you<br />
can easily double the cost of<br />
the platform itself by adding<br />
sufficient mags to actually fight<br />
with.<br />
And this is where the TWS<br />
9 WINS, and I mean TOTALLY<br />
WINS! I’m a self-professed<br />
“Glock man”, and in my<br />
airsoft pistol collection I have<br />
22 G-SERIES variants… okay,<br />
there are a number of G17<br />
models as this is the handgun<br />
that I have shot and trained<br />
with “real”, but there are also<br />
some fancy-pants models that<br />
are “G-based”. Pretty much all<br />
of them will use the magazine<br />
from any of the others, so<br />
that gives me a large pool of<br />
potential mags to draw from…<br />
“THE POINT I’M MAKING HERE IS THAT EVEN IF YOU OWN A SINGLE G-SERIES MODEL<br />
THE LIKELIHOOD IS THAT YOU WILL ALSO OWN A BUNCH OF MAGS TO GO WITH IT,<br />
AND ALL OF THEM SHOULD WORK IN THE TWS 9, SO THAT’S A WHOLE HEAP OF COST<br />
AVOIDED FROM THE GET GO!”<br />
