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!

8 ARMOURY: KING ARMS TWS 9MM SBR GBB<br />
We’ve been trying to re-establish “clear comms” with KING ARMS<br />
for a while to get the story from source, and finally having done<br />
so Bill is going to look at their “9mm SBR” in some detail, and tell<br />
just why we’ve been wanting to talk about this potential “game<br />
changer” for some time!<br />

18 ARMOURY: G&G SGR 556 AEG<br />
Just when you think that G&G have taken things as far as they can,<br />
BOOM, off they merrily go in a totally new direction again! We’ve<br />
been testing an AEG that takes a new direction for them, one that<br />
we’ve been waiting for… for a while… and Bill now takes a very<br />
close look at the SGR 556!<br />

26 ARMOURY: ICS CXP APE SE AEG<br />
When we see a new AEG or GBB it’s often the case that we’ve seen<br />
the total development of a range, and had hands on with many of<br />
them! Bill looks back at his long association with the CXP program<br />
from ICS, and sees it mature fully with the new CXP APE SE!<br />

32 ARMOURY: RWA BATTLE ARMS DEVELOPMENT SBR<br />
We’re very lucky to have regular contributors that are based around<br />
the world, and when it comes to a lot of the new AEG and GBB<br />
platforms that we see hitting the market obviously their “source” is<br />
the Far East! This month our regular speedsoft guru in Hong Kong,<br />
Larri, brings in his first in-game look at the latest BAD SBR from<br />
RedWolf!
