Top Tech M4 Carbine AEG

Top Tech M4 Carbine AEG

G&G's Top Tech line of airsoft guns bring a revolutionary new addition to the hobby: reliable blowback in an AEG. Previous attempts involved using springs to imitate real life bolt actions but they caused excessive wear and broke down regularly. Top Tech's new system system involves pneumatic blow back with a piston driven gas operated mechanism. Compressed air is moved into the bolt which creates the blow back and keeps the stress out of the gearbox.

Official Specs:
Material: AL6061/Aluminum Alloy/Nylon/Fiber/Steel/Zine/Plastic
Overall Length: 780mm
Weight: 2700g
Inner Barrel Length: 357mm
Muzzle velocity: 90-100m/sec with 0.2g BB
Motor: 25000 rpm Hi-torque
Spring Guide: Ball Bearing
Magazine: 450 Rounds

Okay, so I get the marketing hype, what does this mean in real life. Hands down, a much more authentic replication. This feature is a subtle change during an actual skirmish but it is just one piece of the pie that makes up the realistic military replicas that airsofters enjoy. It's actually shocking that other retailers haven't zeroed in on features like this.

If the blow back is pneumatic, does that mean I am going to loose FPS? Nope! You can lock the bolt back and prevent it from blowing back and the recorded FPS was only 2-3 fps less indicating no impact. We observed the following average FPS:

.20 BB: 342fps
.25 BB: 305fps

G&G has not only made a unique addition to AEGs they have done so at an affordable price. You should expect to find the Top Tech M4 Carbine in the $400 range when first launched.

So, they've changed AEG internals. How does this affect upgrades? AS-R didn't have a chance to upgrade the gun during our hands-on time but we did check in with G&G and get the scoop. They were quick to point out that traditional types of AEG upgrades such as bigger springs to increase FPS could be added with no problems since their blowback piston is external to the main functionality of the gearbox. Any upgrade that can be used on a standard G&G carbine can be used on the Top Tech.

So do I want this gun just because of the blow back? I'm glad you asked! While the pneumatic blow back system is an excellent upgrade on the gun, what good would it be if it wasn't supported by a solid and well built gun? The full metal body and excellent construction is very noticeable the first time you pick the gun up. It feels very hefty and also features licensed markings.

Another feature I haven't seen in other AEGs is the working safety indicator on the back of the safety lever. As you cycle through safe - semi - full you can observe what state you are in on the reverse side. Accurate! The gun also features a working forward assist that when pushed releases the tension on the spring for storage.

Overall, this Top Tech M4 Carbine is an excellent weapon that has proven reliable and a top performer in skirmishing. It's solid fell, strong construction and realistic performing parts escalate this above other AEGs on the market and make it worth a serious look.

Airsoft Minigun Weapon

Airsoft Minigun Weapon

You are here because you want to know more about this crazy weapon of mass destruction. You want the best airsoft weapon, you want a one man army right? For those of you who are not aware of this beast the airsoft minigun takes after the gattling gun, with multiple rotating barrels. The airsoft minigun is an awesome airsoft weapon but it all comes with a price, look to spend anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000 for one of these.

The airsoft minigun is a multi barrel machine gun capable of firing over 700 rounds per minute at over 400 FPS! Using the gatling gun rotating barrel design and an external power source. The airsoft minigun is able to shoot the popular airsoft bbs we are accustomed to, and is also capable of shooting metal pellets. The airsoft minigun is extremely powerful, enough to destroy a 42 inch television. I only mention this because you can see a video of it!(bottom of the article) The airsoft minigun is also used by some law enforcement agencies for non lethal crowd control.

The great thing about this airsoft minigun compared to a real minigun is that you can actually carry this beast, since it weighs less than 40lbs! Of course this is not including the battery or external power source which will have to be carried by backpack and the airsoft bbs on top of all the other optional airsoft gear that makes you look cooler! (and might be slightly functionally). You might also want to bring some extra airsoft bbs considering you will probably spray through 700 in a minute if you are heavy on the trigger. The airsoft minigun has a magazine capacity ranging anywhere from 1500 to 1700 airsoft bbs, the body is made of all metal except for the trigger handle. The total length of this airsoft minigun is about 3 feet (36″ inches) depending on the brand.

The airsoft minigun is priced high but for a reason, if you are interested in acquiring one it will end up costing you anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000 not to mention the money you’ll have to set aside for a few thousand airsoft bbs you will be shooting away. This all because of the rigorous research and development that goes into this beautiful piece of machinery. This airsoft minigun is not only made of quality materials but it is also a very complex design with many moving parts much like the real gatling gun. With a closed bold system and a collapsing design. Misfires and misfeeds are not a common occurance, and when it does happen damage is less likely to occur. As long as the trigger is pulled on the airsoft minigun it is constantly releasing compressed air. As each barrel reaches the 11 o’clock position the compressed air is expelled, repeating the process over and over with each barrel – this explaining the airsoft miniguns high rate of fire.

This is definately something most airsoft players would love to have on their side, and hate to play against! The brutal raw power this airsoft minigun delivers is just amazing!

MP5 Airsoft Gun - Galaxy GK5 Review

Galaxy GK5 Review

Interested In Airsoft Guns?

If you are in the market for high grade MP5 airsoft guns you need to look no further then the galaxy G5K. Below will will offer our review of the galaxy G5K MP5 personal defense weapon, or PDW as it is commonly known.

First Impression

To start with the first thing that will impress you about this gun is the price, most online retailers will offer it for under $100. But do not be fooled by the low prices because unlike other guns in this price range this is not a plastic low grade weapon but rather a full metal solidly built soft air gun that looks and feels like the real thing.

Build Quality

When you first pick it up you will be amazed by the weight of the gun for its size, this is due to the amount of metal used in its construction. You will also notice how tight it fits together and how solid it feels when you hold it. You will feel no loose handles or grips or rattles with this weapon. In fact even the included 240 round magazine snaps tightly into place with little to no wobble.

Performance

Out of the box using.2 gram BB's this air soft gun will shoot 320-330 feet per second with a rate of fire that is in the range of 9-11 rounds per second. In tests we were able to accurately shoot out to a range of about 75 feet, after that accuracy degraded quickly. Although if you want an MP5 airsoft gun you realize that they are meant for close quarter battle and not long range shots!

Negatives

No honest review would be complete without pointing out something that was not liked about the product. Although it was very hard to find something we did not like about this gun it would have to be the paint on the firing switch looked old and faded right out of the box. Although not a big problem or one that will affect performance it is still worth mentioning.

Our Final Verdict

When it comes to high grade mp5 airsoft guns the galaxy G5K really stands out from the rest of the crowd. With great construction, low price and good performance it makes perfect sense for anyone who wants to inexpensively get into air soft and have a weapon that can advance with them through the hobby.

The Story Behind the Gun and Its Purchase:
What American-born aisofter doesn’t like the M1 Garand and all its descendants? Well, humor aside, I had my eye on the TSD Socom II for some time before I purchased it on my 21st birthday. When I first held the gun, I was in awe at its rock-solid composition and realistic weight. Mind you, the real Socom II is a pound or two heavier (or so I’ve read), but the rifle still had a very comfortable feel and weight. I bought the gun and it’s been in my room for some time now, and only now have I collected enough data to write a review.

First Impressions:
Heavy. That’ll be the first thing you’ll think. For a mostly plastic spring rifle, it has a very hefty feel. The cocking lever requires a bit of strength to pull consecutively, but it gives the gun an awesome feel (you’ll get used to it too). The safety is still the same way as a realsteel’s: a lever at the trigger guard that when pointed back to the trigger it locked the trigger. The magazine sports 37 rounds, plenty for this gun to fire in a game to provide some minor suppression fire or pseudo-sniper fire. Yes, I said it: sniper fire. This gun’s hop-up is a little quirky in that at a certain point, the BB’s will arc to the left. Getting this adjusted to shoot as straight and far as possible is a little tedious, add that to zeroing in an adjustable hunting scope, and it requires a little more patience. However, once that chore is out or the way, you get a cheap wannabe sniper rifle effective up to about 150 feet (50 meters), give or take a few feet/meters. I also found that while disassembling most of the gun that the stock is actually a separate part of the rifle. If you have the time and patience to whittle and drill out a real wood stock for a Garand or M14/M1A, you can attach a real stock to the TSD rifle….but that’s a task for a later, much later day.

Size: 9:10
Definitely a primary. If you are trying to use something this big as a secondary, you’re either as big as Volgin, or you have more limbs than the average human.

Design: 9:10
The RIS rails get in the way of the iron sights when attached, but otherwise a nice look for the gun.

Comfort: 9:10
Supremely comfortable. I think it was Patton who said “This is the greatest battle rifle ever…” or something like that (he was talking about the Garand, though). The teardrop grip is checkered and comfy to hold and aim with, and I love that the charging handle is metal. Cold steel is a great feeling from any airsoft gun.

Accuracy: 8:10
Takes some tweaking, but it’s an overall good gun for minor sniping. If you can’t afford the cheap sniper rifles coming out, this gun will get most of the job done for you once you’ve adjusted it properly.

Durability: 10:10
Like a rock…or is it a Chevy? Anyways, a tough rifle that you can PT with if need be, as well as do some good skirmishing with.

Good Gun to Get?
Yes, defintitely. Especially if you want an M14 that isn’t going to cost over a hundred dollars.

Airsoft Grenade Tactics

Airsoft Grenade Tactics

As airsoft gets more and more popular over the years, manufacturer’s race to manufacture products that can deliver more action and realism into the sport. The realism of airsoft has evolved incredibly! One such innovation being an airsoft grenade. Airsoft grenades are now a major influence in most airsoft skirmishes and MILSIM games & a must have for most proffesionals. There is a lot of thought and process that goes into making airsoft weapons, manufacturers work endlessly in the design to make it look, feel, & function much like the real weapon. The airsoft grenades are no different.

Airsoft hand grenades are small antipersonnel weapons made to be thrown manually by hand, and explode a few seconds later (anywhere from 1.5 – 3 seconds). An airsoft hand grenade will usually have a “kill” radius of 10 to 20 meters and can spray anywhere from 30-100 airsoft bbs. It is also important to keep in mind the blast pattern of the grenade, this will depend on the design and quality of the grenade. Some airsoft grenades will require more skill than others because of the blast pattern it has, throwing it the wrong way will result in the airsoft bbs all blasting into the ground instead of actually hitting your enemy.

If you have never been good at throwing objects a far distance much less with accuracy there is a solution for you as well. Airsoft grenade launchers are designed to launch your grenade faster! farther distances! and with better accuracy! Airsoft grenade launchers are available in different forms, they are available as a stand alone weapon, an attachable piece to a rifle, or already part of a rifle. Airsoft grenade launchers that attach to a rifle will usually be mounted under the barrel. It is recommended that if you are buying an airsoft rifle with a grenade launcher already assembled into the weapon you check to see that the airsoft grenade launcher can be unmounted, that way if there is no need for grenades in the game you don’t have to tote around a grenade launcher under your airsoft rifle barrel.

There is one big drawback to all this excitement and hype with airsoft grenades. A decent airsoft grenade will cost you around $40 and the better ones are even higher at prices of up to $120. Many of these airsoft grenades are comprised of multiple pieces some being really small like the holding pin for example.

Throwing one of these airsoft grenades in the middle of an intense airsoft battle with lots of adrenaline pumping can leave you not remembering where you threw your airsoft grenade or in what area it landed. Many airsoft players even after finding their grenade were not able to find all the pieces.

Airsoft grenades are a must have for players that have been in the game for a while, not to mention it would also look really nice hanging from your airsoft gear! They can add excitement and much more realism into an airsoft skirmish, best of all you can use airsoft bbs that have already been used to fill up your airsoft grenade. This is definitely something you should have in your stable of airsoft weapons.
