Trending in Airsoft 2019 (Currently)

October 9, 2019

With airsoft companies constantly looking for ways to innovate the airsoft world, there is always something new to look forward to. With time moving forward, the trends are constantly changing. Weather it be gear, accessories, airsoft guns, or even camouflage. I am going to talk about some of the current airsoft trends in 2019.

AR Pistols

I would say the release of pistol caliber rifles in airsoft started in about 2017. However the trend didn’t pick up until the middle of 2018 and carries on into 2019. With manufacturers like Classic Army, G&G, and Ares all having versions of a rifle with a pistol caliber style magazine. I think it is safe to say that AR Pistols have made a permanent home in airsoft.

Camouflauge

Everyone has a personal favorite when it comes to camo patterns. I personally love Multicam and Woodland. I know a lot of others who would agree with me. However with new studies and releases of different camouflage patterns. There are some patterns that gain popularity. With everyone’s personal opinions set aside. The current trendy camouflage is CADPAT! That is right! I am just as surprised as you are! Canadian Disruptive Pattern is the current trend. Released back in 2002 for the Canadian Armed Forces. CADPAT has made its way around the airsoft trends. I do believe that eventually everyone will go back to Multicam. (Cisco is a little salty!) We have notice that Multicam Black is starting to rise in popularity again.

Grenades

There are a plethora of airsoft grenades on the market. Both sound grenades the the “Thunder B” Style or BB Spreading grenades like the Z-PArts ERAZ Greande. The newest airsoft grenade to hit the market is an updated version of a classic! Airsoft Innovations released their Tornado 2 Timer Grenade! Shooting out 200 BBs at 240 FPS, with a 360 degree spread. This will tag everyone in the target room of your choice! Airsoft Innovations has released a plethora of awesome products throughout the years. The Cyclone Grenade, XL Burst Banger, and the 40 Mike are some of my favorite products. The Tornado 2 Timer Grenade gives you different options of use compared to their impact grenades.

MOSFETS

Since about 2014, MOSFETS in airsoft have become very popular. To the point where some manufacturers are including them out of the box! MOSFETS originally were used to help regulate the electricity flow. They have now evolved into being able to program settings and increase the performance of your airsoft gun. Companies like GATE and JeffTron are after market MOSFETS that will help increase the overall performance of your airsoft gun!

Tracer Units

Glow in the dark BBs have been around for a long time in airsoft. With more players now wanting to record their game play and see track their BBs. Tracer units have become more popluar. Companies like AceTech and XCortech have made the huge advancements into tracer units. Allowing for more compact designs.

The WE MSK GBBR Is Now Available for Sale!

September 24, 2013

This gun has been a pretty widely anticipated release. I know a lot of video gamers out there are fans of this gun from the popular Call of Duty and Battlefield franchises and now you can get an awesome airsoft gun version. The MSK is a very futuristic gun with an aluminum upper receiver, polymer lower receiver, ambidextrous controls, and a high tech stock. The blow back action is crisp and provides amazing feedback to the shooter when fired. Though the entire gun is really nice, the pièce de résistance on this gun is the trigger. The trigger pull has absolutely no slack in it and the breaking point is smooth and decisive. Additionally, since the trigger has such tight tolerances the reset is very quick which will allow for rapid and accurate follow up shots. Combine the aforementioned features and build construction with the carbine length barrel that’s featured on this GBBR and you have a fantastic airsoft gun capable of amazing CQB and long distance play.

If you’re at all interested in the WE MSK, and you should be, then give our customer service line a call at (909) 869-0671 during business hours to place your order.

September 18, 2013

Watch out folks, the all-new WE Tech SMG-8 has just hit the streets. For all you high speed operators out there, this gun may very well be the next gun you’ve been waiting for. At four pounds and fourteen ounces this compact, modular, and lightweight, SMG packs plenty of punch, at an affordable price.

airsoft-we-smg8-gbb-blk-c — Solid External Construction

Overall, the external construction of this airsoft gun is superb. It is constructed of an extremely high quality polymer, that gives it the heft and feel of its real steel counterpart, which is also constructed with a polymer receiver. WE Tech has been in the airsoft industries for quite a while and they have developed a strong reputation of producing high quality external bodies for their gas blow back airsoft guns.

airsoft-we-smg8-gbb-blk-g — Removable Side Rails.

The front end of the gun features two removable metal 1913 Picatinny (one on the right and one on the left). This is a nice option if you want to shave some weight off your gun and while also slimming it down. Additionally, the gun comes with a monolithic upper rail, allowing you to place an optic on the gun with ease. There is also a bottom rail segment for further attachments.

airsoft-we-smg8-gbb-blk-i — Solid Locking Three Position Telescopic Stock.

The rear of the gun features the iconic telescoping stock.which can extend into three different positions. This stock solidly locks into place and produces little to no wobble. Also, you will be able to find the two take-down pins at the rear of the gun. Taking down the gun is simple: just push the two take-down pins out and extract the rear plate and bolt carrier group.

Upon arrival, this gun comes with one forty four round magazine, a speed loader, and an extra threaded muzzle adapter. The included magazine is sturdy, and is large enough to fill enough gas to empty the magazine on fully automatic fire.

This gun shoot BBs at around 360 feet per second and is an absolute pleasure to shoot. Due to the full metal construction of the bolt carrier group, this gun features an amazingly concussive recoil when shooting. However, it gets even better. On fully automatic fire, this gun spits out BBs and an amazing rate of fire, great for CQB engagements.
