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!

RELOADED<br />
ROSSI NEPTUNE 10.5” SAS<br />
AFTER SIX MONTHS IN TESTING BILL NOW GIVES HIS VERDICT ON THE ROSSI NEPTUNE 10.5” SAS,<br />
HOW IT HAS FARED SO FAR, AND HIS JOURNEY TO TAKE IT FROM A BASIC AEG TO SOMETHING THAT<br />
HE’D BE HAPPY SHOWING OFF AT ANY LEVEL OR AIRSOFT GAME FROM SUNDAY SKIRMISH TO FULL-<br />
ON MILSIM!<br />
It’s true that every airsoft platform I work with, and<br />
most certainly those that end up full-time in my<br />
personal armoury undergo a “journey” from the<br />
point they are lifted free from the box to the point<br />
where I have them just as I like them, both in terms of<br />
look and performance. I can’t actually believe<br />
that the ROSSI<br />
very regular basis, with every step of my testing<br />
and development of their then-new AEG being<br />
documented and shared. It’s also been a period of<br />
getting to know Dave at Dave’s Custom <strong>Airsoft</strong> a little<br />
better as he kindly acted as intermediary in facilitating<br />
my getting hold of the “SAS” in the first place, and<br />
since then has acted as something of a co-conspirator<br />
during the process of turning the AEG into something<br />
that I’m now very proud of!<br />
Every step of a project-journey means that<br />
there is the potential to meet new friends and<br />
kindred spirits, and I have to say that<br />
my airsoft<br />
NEPTUNE<br />
10.5” SAS<br />
(aka my “poor<br />
man’s L119A2”) has been with<br />
me for six months already, as it seems<br />
like only yesterday that I sat down with the<br />
guys from ROSSI at IWA.<br />
But yes, that time has gone by, and I’ve been<br />
corresponding with Rafa at ROSSI EUROPE on a<br />
“career” has been kind to me<br />
in that I’ve met many wonderful people involved in<br />
the industry, and the road I’ve travelled so far with the<br />
“SAS” has been no exception. I’ve spoken to friends<br />
old and new to garner the information I needed to<br />
take a stab at really getting this AEG into “Obi Wan”<br />
territory, and whilst not a direct replication I’m pretty<br />
darn happy with the overall build.<br />
Whilst the AEG itself is a sound proposition, and<br />
I’ve not heard whisper of complaint from anyone<br />
that has bought one since they first arrived in the UK<br />
(and indeed further afield as I now follow the ROSSI<br />
EUROPE page on FB), like any new platform that’s<br />
really only the starting point, isn’t it?<br />
“EVERY STEP OF A PROJECT-JOURNEY MEANS THAT THERE IS THE POTENTIAL TO<br />
MEET NEW FRIENDS AND KINDRED SPIRITS, AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT MY AIRSOFT<br />
“CAREER” HAS BEEN KIND TO ME IN THAT I’VE MET MANY WONDERFUL PEOPLE<br />
INVOLVED IN THE INDUSTRY, AND THE ROAD I’VE TRAVELLED SO FAR WITH THE “SAS”<br />
HAS BEEN NO EXCEPTION. ”<br />
