ISSUE 156 - DECEMBER 2023
40 THE CAGE: AOR
As we continue to delve into the
loadout and camo options used by
the guys of the AA LEGION there’s
one that is sought after by many,
but sometimes hard to find in “big
boi” sizes, and that’s AOR! Bill and
Stewbacca dig into their personal
gear lockers to look and the 1 and 2
variants and find that when it comes
to finding “SEAL” camo days are in
fact getting easier…
66 AA LEGION: PORTUGAL
As fellow players we all love to hear
about how airsoft is played around the
world, and this month we’re pleased
to share with you the AAR from
arguably one of Portugal’s largest and
most unique events, SALAMANDRA,
as Miguel takes us inside the action
again!
Salamandra has become one of
Portugal’s staple Airsoft events and
it combines most aspects of airsoft;
missions for milsim, skirmish, roleplay
and of course a great get together
with players from all over the country,
and many other countries as well!
46 RED CELL: MP5 UPDATE
It’s time for Red Cell to return to one of the most iconic firearm
models out there, one that continues to be a firm favourite with
airsofters old and new, and that’s the H&K MASCHINENPISTOLE 5,
or more simply the MP5! This is a platform that many of us at AA
love for very different reasons, bit now we look at how some of the
test pool are faring after, in some cases, extended hard use!
Any way you look at it, there’s a good few members of the RED
CELL and wider AA LEGION crew that just “love the Koch” in all
its myriad forms, and H&K platforms form a part in some way or
another of all our personal armouries!
60 AA LEGION: GETTING PERSONAL
Having already introduced ‘Military
Anny’ Wu in Issue 148, and Marck
West in Issue 150, Stewbacca got to
sit down in person with NZ-based
Norah, AKA “Nonocat” and of
course her man in the chair Romain
“Thunderspear”, those behind the
Nonocat Airsoft channel during their
visit to Taiwan during late October and
early November for the G&G World
Cup CQB Championship and share
some thoughts on how and why she
does what she does (with Romain’s
help!) within the airsoft community.
74 AA LEGION: TAIWAN
With 2023 nearing its latter quarter,
it’s been the best part of a whole
year since Stewbacca had anything
to report on his continuing journey
through the realm of competitive
shooting in Taiwan, but finally in the
calm wake of a somewhat destructive
typhoon he travelled South with
team SPPT to take part in a level 1
competition in Tainan, the second
most Southerly major city on the main
island.
86 AA LEGION EVENT REPORT: G&G CQB WORLD CUP 2023
We talk a LOT about the global airsoft community in Airsoft Action,
and at the back end of last month Bill was given the opportunity to
travel to Taiwan and pay witness to this in its very best form! Along
with Stewbacca and Anny he attended the 2023 G&G CQB World
Cup in Taipei, and now the team share their thoughts on a truly
unique and fabulous airsoft event!
We often refer in-house these days to Taiwan as being “Airsoft
Central” as so many of the very best manufacturers are now based
on this wonderful island, so when G&G ARMAMENT invited Bill
to attend their CQB World Cup event you can bet your sweet one
that he was on it like a shot!
