Gunner, The Military DVD Magazine

Vol 1- Chinese Version
Language: Japanese/English/Written Chin-glish

Box - Front Cover

The Gunner DVD Magazine series is being produced by ARMs Magazine and HobbyJapan. This is pretty much the only airsoft tie-in other then the WA and Marui adds in the small MOOK included. Even though an airsoft magazine is producing the DVD, this is a 100% Real Steel pr0n DVD!

This is the Chinese version, but DVD audio and Subtitles are English and Japanese only. Since most content of the DVD is interviewing American that audio is all in Enlgish. The magazine is written in Chinese and English.

DVD Jacket Insert

This is a much better DVD then the 12/2004 Arms Magazine, Real Steel trip to the Philippines. Much more technical info and direct from manufacturers. But no semi hot girls shooting guns.

The visit to HK-USA was AWESOME! Showing a real 416 in action and under the imfamous HK/XM8 dirt/water test. The Remington 870 MCS, Modular Combat System, has QD stocks and barrels. And this one guys collection, Robert Silvers, is insane and so large its held in a "bunker".

This DVD is some great eye candy regardless of language. BUT the enlgish subtitles can be hilarious at times!!!

Volume 2 - Kalishnokov

http://www.digitalwastelands.com/bbimages/airsoft/books/gunner-v1-02a.jpg

Volume 2 Kalashnikov!!!

This version is a Japanese version, so all text is in Japanese and no subtitles.

Contents include:

ROST 2005 Russian Military Show.
Spetsnaz Training
Dinner with Kalishikov
Tour Sig Sauer Factory
Tour Barret Factory
Low Light technique
Systema (Nothing to do with Systema Japan)
HK Defense
SOF Week 2005

This is the Japanese version of Gunner DVD Magazine. The Included MOOK in in Japanese text only, but has ads form WA and Marui.

This Volume spends a majority of time in Russia, but luckily the people they deal with in Russia speak english.

The trip to watch the Sptenaz training was interesting, especailly the fast they do CQB training with live rounds and has otehr team members holding targets on sticks that pop out behind doors... The Kalishnikov dinner was interesting, athough it seems Kalishnikov has given the same speech many times now. adn the trip to the Sig and Barrett factories were awesome.

There's a rumor here in the US that Gunner will come out at local retailers soon. But if you can get a copy of these first 2 volumes then it's def worth it!

Sweet! Now available in the US at AEX.
