8 ARMOURY: ARCTURUS PP-19-01 PE Z-TAC SP1<br />
We devote space to show reports because this is where we get a<br />
first taste of new models. At SHOT ’23 the AA Crew got their first<br />
look at the new PP-19-01 PE from Arcturus, and now Dan lands his<br />
report on an exciting development that other manufacturers might<br />
want to take note of!<br />

20 ARMOURY: SPECNA ARMS SA-FX01 FLEX<br />
AR-styled “9mm” are nothing new to the airsoft world, but when<br />
one gets dropped into the market from a manufacturer that<br />
constantly pushes the boundaries it’s something that we take note<br />
of, and although SPECNA ARMS have created “PDW” models<br />
before the SA-FX01 FLEX has promised to be more than a sum of<br />
its parts!<br />

28 ARMOURY: CYMA CM106A PLATINUM RAPID STRIKE<br />

the range with the latest model from industry-giants CYMA and<br />
finds their new RAPID STRIKE very much to his liking for a number<br />
of very good reasons!<br />

36 KIT & GEAR: EDGE TACTICAL EYEWEAR<br />
Eye protection (eyepro or shooting glasses to you and I) is one of<br />
the most important aspects of safety no matter what you shoot,<br />
and Bill has been testing three models from EDGE EYEWEAR for a<br />
while now, a company that provides “eyepro” offering the highest<br />
levels of performance and protection!
