New with them is a new automatic scoring target with remote digital display and control unit priced at 5,229Yen.

There's also some shooting glasses called "Performer" that look very similar to those recently launched by Guarder. The glasses come with in three lens colours (smoke, yellow and clear) and are priced at 4,179 Yen.

There's also an electric plate (the typical fall down setup) with remote reset for easy target practice, no price is listed yet.

New on their site is a milspec ID wallet, and a black fleece jacket (as seen in the promo image, presumably in the Middle East somewhere). There's loads more in their products pages, unfortunately no list of suppliers and dealers/retailers that stock their products at the moment.

There's also shots of Tanaka's new M93r copy - the SIC93. The SIC93 comes with a 36 shot magazine, is made of heavy weight ABS and is a replica of the 1st version M93r. There are no markings on the pistol even for the fireselect although the safety mechanism has the red dot decal inset. Semi and triple shot can be seen, automatic fire cannot be confirmed.

RRP for the SIC93 is set at 13,800 Yen and the price for the SL8-1 kit is 49,800. Oh the SL8-1 comes with two magazines in the box too

Also on the Laylax pages are details of a new GBB valve key that they've released and Zero Trigger units for the Tokyo Marui VSR10 series.

This comes in two variants available built from metal and AB plastic. The regular comes in at 800 USD and deluxe version costs 900 USD and weighs 2600g. Both packages include a 40mm shell. The main difference seems to be that the deluxe version has a reflex quadrant sight.

Just a small note to let you know that 858airsoft.com has put together a second video, this one of game footage, it can be found on our site though the video quality is not the greatest. If you have not seen our original video it can also be found online, this is also filmed at night but much better quality, but is a 858QRT recruitment video. J.M.L. (858airsoft.com)

Sure there's loads of spring rifles out there, but a few more can't hurt, they make decent cheap props.. office toys etc.

The springer features accurate ArmaLite markings, and is primed either by pulling back the handle hidden inside the foregrip that flips down or using the normal charging handle under the carry handle. The stock is also functional with power output in the region of 0.5J.

Sadly there's no details at all about price or further specs (metal parts etc), although it's listed as available at the Classic Army website.

We were told that Systema has been in talks with Classic Army for a few months now, as CA has expressed interest in Systema's new PTWS and it's gearbox design.  CA has expressed their wished to build out CA PTWS style guns and have Systema provide the gearboxes for their guns.  We were told Systema is considering the offer, but is also considering making a downgraded gearbox geared for the hobbyist market to sell to CA at a lower cost.

While talks are currently in their infancy, it seems promising that something will develop in the coming year.  This would evolve into a lower cost alternative to the PTWS for the hobbyist market, unless Systema decides to crack that market as well.  Systema, however, seems intent on sticking with the law enforcement and military training markets for the time being.

Have a look through their products lines, as there's a heap of outer wear, shirts and headwear and other gear and examples of their work online. Check them out if you're after some personalised gear.

The full 5.11 Tactical Range is now available to buy online at Polimil and Niton Equipment who both hold 5.11 stock. You'll see that the price structure is much better than you'd expect. Gone is the straight USD/UKP conversion of simply swapping the Dollar for a Pound sign that you normally see elsewhere. The US retail price on 5.11 pants is 69USD and here in the UK they are pricing them at 31-35UKP.

The 5.11 clothing range are proving to be highly popular, for example the Backup Belt System found in their clothing products was made in conjuction with Blackhawk Industries.

Legality regarding the use of these spent munitions ranges from country to country; but if it's legal to build where you are the AT4 can be a decent base for a custom Airsoft launcher project.

The AT4s are available through RPB Industries at a price of 150USD. Military issue AT4 anti-tank rocket launcher tube. These items are listed as being inert and demilled to ATF specifications and are missing the rear sight.

As some of you will know IveryMusic have recently released Tim Ivery's debut album "Before You Wake". Ivery Music has been a very strong supporter of Airsoft behind the scenes, and a huge supporter of this site. Tim Ivery announced a while back that 10% of all album sales generated from the Airsoft community will be deposited in an Airsoft protection fund, to allow for legal research to be done into attempting to protect the legal status of Airsoft. So for all their support, come on guys, buy a copy of the CD/DVD set. The music package includes a DVD with lots of bonus tracks, music videos etc, and for only £16 - inclusive of postage and packaging that represents extremely good value for money. Head on over to iverymusic.com and sign up to their forums, (they've put up a dedicated forum section for Airsofters); if you're interested go to the shop page, and buy that album. (IveryMusic)

The CA M249 is indeed in the works still with them. The CA release will use a TM compatible gearbox, so should be pleasing to anyone after a 249 that's more than an expensive paperweight in stock form. Several varient prototypes are in the works, and the line is due for release in the first half of 2005.

The G36 line is going to be expanded with a scope/handle version coming to light shortly. It's unknown if it's the G36/KE/K varient at the moment. There's a mystery new AEG lined up for next year sometime, but as it's still in development at the moment and not near completition they are cagey about details being released for the moment... so you'll just have to guess as to what it is.

There is a Christmas sale going on at Airsoft Armoury. This sale includes some of the most popular airsoft products around, and also allows for you to make a custom sale package. These custom packages can have up to a 5% additional discount. They also have a unique feature in which you can get a full quote instantly! This quote includes all the sales discounts, as well as all shipping charges! (Airsoft Armoury HK)

That's right - after over 6 years business with Classic Army, we are at last saying goodbye. Over the years their support, service and speed have decreased so much we've had to think about letting them go. We pride ourselves on being able to maintain good stocks of everything we sell, and get it to you (the most important bit!) as soon as we can. Classic Army just can't provide this level of service, and this shows with the lack of stock they are able to supply on a constant basis. If you buy a gun, you want to know that if anything goes wrong, the spares will be available to fix it. That's our thinking too!

BUT, it wasn't hard to find better quality replacements - we will be providing superior ICS equivalents for the whole C/A AEG range, backed with lengthy warranties and 100% spare parts backup. We'll also make sure that, and in most cases this has already been done, all other C/A products previously sold by us have been replaced with much better alternatives, such as ICS, G&G, G&P and HurricanE.
