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!

AA LEGION<br />
UK - NAF <strong>2023</strong><br />
THE PLAYERS TAKE<br />
Another year another festival oh yeah! And this one<br />
did not disappoint either,<br />
apart from the<br />
general shenanigans that<br />
happened in camping site<br />
and Jimmy forgetting his<br />
tent lol (what a plonker<br />
Rodney!) there was fun<br />
and giggles all over the<br />
weekend!<br />
Bill once again<br />
honoured us with<br />
his cooking and<br />
legendary chilli which<br />
went down a treat<br />
all round, after<br />
breakky’s in the<br />
morning we got<br />
down to business,<br />
taking photos with<br />
the Krios<br />
Photography<br />
team and showing our<br />
faces, meeting old and<br />
new friends visiting<br />
the stalls like Viper<br />
Tactical, AIRTAC,<br />
ASG, Vortex, Kydex<br />
Customs, Flecktarn,<br />
Bloc, Wolverine,<br />
Lonestar Tactical<br />
and a smattering<br />
more. Seeing all<br />
the amazing player<br />
loadouts and<br />
costumes getting<br />
ready for the<br />
battles to come is always<br />
a joy as there’s always the weird,<br />
the why, and the wonderful!<br />
This year I was playing on Bravo team, and with my<br />
wingman (Jimmy) down this year I had to step up<br />
my game and bring some<br />
firepower, and<br />
the Classic Army<br />
M132 micro mini<br />
gun (HPA) with<br />
the high-speed<br />
motor flinging 50<br />
rounds a second<br />
did not disappoint!<br />
I also was running<br />
the TM MP7 GBB<br />
as this allowed me<br />
to change on the fly<br />
from suppressive<br />
firepower to CQB<br />
disciplined shooting<br />
on semi.<br />
From this year<br />
I’ve again come<br />
away with awesome<br />
memories (and kills!)<br />
meeting up with two<br />
other team members<br />
with their M133 micro/<br />
mini guns and all three of<br />
us simultaneously laying<br />
down suppressive fire<br />
which will be a moment<br />
to remember… not only by<br />
our fellow team members around us at that<br />
moment in time but also the suppressed and scared<br />
enemy lol! Inevitably Bravo team prevailed and won<br />
the game<br />
which I’m not<br />
surprised with<br />
that kind of<br />
suppressive<br />
support.<br />
I had a<br />
blast and<br />
will never<br />
forget these<br />
awesome<br />
memories,<br />
and<br />
thankfully I can share them with you<br />
our supportive readers as I<br />
run cameras<br />
to which you can find my<br />
videos on my own (He Who<br />
Dares <strong>Airsoft</strong>) YouTube<br />
channel, but I’ll be sharing<br />
this for the AA website<br />
too.<br />
As for how<br />
things were<br />
run on site<br />
there were<br />
some good<br />
improvements<br />
this year to<br />
do with<br />
how the<br />
toilet facilities<br />
were maintained and kept<br />
clean regularly… hats off to the team<br />
on that; it may sound weird but the portaloos<br />
