Kit-wise, inspired by last month's look at Vipercam Black, Bill puts a full set of "black cam" together... without breaking the bank and also quizzes the Airsoft Action team on what they juse for belt kit, in this month's The Cage feature.
Elsewhere, our international "Legionnaires" have been busy... Sean, from Blackline Simulations in Canada, gives us some pointers about effective comms, Hana in China reports from the first post-lockdown MilSim, while Stewbaca into Action Air over in Taiwan.
If you want to know what it is like to produce the world's number one digital airsoft magazine and missed Reaper Op TV's interview with Bill, you can read a transcript in this issue - and some of his answers might surprise you!
Plus, we have a special photo feature showcasing the stunning creations from Clarence Lai, aka Airsoft Surgeon and all our usual columns.
We hope you are all safe and let's hope we can all back to playing the game we love very soon now.
The Airsoft Action Team.

As Covid-19 rumbles on around the world, wherever you are, we hope you are fit and well. Despite the lockdown, our Contributors have been working hard to bring you an issue packed with reports, reviews and articles - and this is a flavour of what's inside... G&G PRK-9, CYMA 132S, Specna SAJ-04, VFC SR-16 and Specna Core C03, plus a head to head between Krytac's Trident and the Avalon Gladius.
With most of us stuck inside, now is a good time to maintain your kit and gear and we have articles looking at how you can keep it in tip-top condition.
Mental Health is an issue that affects too many people, especially when isolated and AA Contributor Steve T. writes about his experiences, along with input from his colleagues.
To round everything off, we have a special report from Tomo, of Arms magazine, who reports from his recent visit to the Airsoft Surgeon Championship and which we have reproduced in his home language, Japanese, while Ioan "Iggy" Roberts reports from a fabulous CQB site just outside Christchurch, NZ.
Of course, we also have all our usual columns and features for you to enjoy.
So grab yourself a cool drink, put your feet up and enjoy the read.
Hopefully this will all be over soon and we'll again be able to say... "See you out there!"

Welcome to the second digital-only issue of Airsoft Action and welcome also to the army of new readers who joined us recently!
With the world worried about the spread of Covid-19, IWA in Nuremberg was postponed, leaving many thousands wondering what would have been on show. Well, wonder no more! We asked the airsoft companies scheduled to attend what new products they were planing to present and have an exclusive, fourteen-page report on what they told us!
If you like guns, then you are going to love what we have in store for you, which includes Noveske, KWA, Raptor and G&G, plus an awesome MCX "Dream Build". We haven't forgotten all you geardos either and look at a massive range of Kit & Gear, including 0241 Tactical and Syonix Aurora NV - night vision is also the subject of this month's "The Cage".
"Speedsoft" may be a dirty word to some airsofters but "AA Legion" member, Stewbacca, reports from an event in Taiwan, where it most definitely a huge success and when you couple that with Bill's article "The Colours of Airsoft", you might be surprised at the outcome.
Wherever you are in the world, we hope you are safe and well - and that you enjoy this new, FREE issue of the global number one airsoft magazine, Airsoft Action.

Welcome to the first ever DIGITAL ONLY issue of Airsoft Action!
Over the last nine years Airsoft Action has become the most widely distributed airsoft magazine and now we are avaiable as a GLOBAL DIGITAL ONLY publication and if that news wasn't big enough Airsoft Action is now FREE TO READ - NO CHARGE, NO SUBSCRIPTIONS, NO COMPROMISE!!
And as we go Global, we have created a Team of Contributors from around the world to write about airsoft where you are!
In this issue we have articles fromthe USA, Sweden, Australia, Canada and the UK, with SIX gun reviews, loads of events, masses of gear, plus the chance to WIN VORSK PISTOL NUMBER 001, complete with Red Dot Sight!
If you have never read Airsoft Action before, now is the time!

Welcome to 2020 and as we move into a new decade, Airsoft Action brings you more of what you want... guns, gear, news, reviews, reports and opinions, all brought to you by a team of contributors who don't just write about airsoft, they live it!
We hope you enjoy this new issue and look forwards to seeing you out there!
The AA Team.

As we move into a new decade, the future for airsoft has never been brighter and it is great to see a strong British brand leading the charge, as we get an EXCLUSIVE first look at NUPROL's latest range of pistols, called "VORSK". CYMA is not a brand that immediately springs to mind when talking about top of the line AEGs but Bill found their 097B more than holds its own in both the quality and price stakes! Steve T finally gets his hands on the stunning Kriss Vector and continues with his MWS build, while Femme Fatale recounts some of her recent adventures in the US of A.
If Kit & Gear is your thing, then reading Bill's review of Wisport Tactical Gear is a must, we also tell you what the AA Team member's preferred eyepro is, while Phil plugs into Titan Batteries and Tom gets all technical as he times how long it takes different weight BBs to reach their target.
With all our regular features and columns, it all adds up to another stonking issue of the airsofter's favourite airsoft magazine!
Wherever you are in the world, we hope you have a superb Xmas and New Year and look forwards to seeing you out on the field in 2020!

Welcome to the latest issue of Airsoft Action, the best airsoft magazine as voted for by airsofters.
In this issue we have a whole bunch of guns for you to drool over, including the Limited Edition CXP MARS "Komodo" from ICS, Bolt's 416 DEVGRU and M16A4, Tippmann's v2 M4 and Specna Arm's 416.
Our "Kit & Gear" coverage includes gloves, helmets, plate carriers, cold weather kit and torches, plus a look at some stunning watches from British manufacturer NITE.
The features in this issue cover our usual wide array of topics, from "My First Gun", to the start of a TM MWS build, to the tactics used in successful stair assults. We put the Colt 1911 up against the browning Hi-Power and look at collecting Stens - we even have an article about the (not-so secret) WWII British Resistance.
Wholly owned, written and produced by airsofters, for airsofters and anyone with an interest in airsoft in all its many forms, varieties and genres around the world, Airsoft Action is a truly global airsoft magazine.

When you saw the cover of this issue, you were probably as surprised as we were when we heard about a company in the States who were fitting airsoft M60s to a restored, Vietnam-era, OV-10 Bronco! We had to find out more and you will find the full story, told by the guys themselves, along with more pictures of what they have achieved, inside.
Back on the ground, Issue 107 is (as always) packed with articles covering everything from the latest RIFs, including the stunning LCT AK-12, kindly loaned to us by RedWolf Airsoft and some excellent 'Namsoft ARs from JG, courtesy of TaiwanGun.
Kit & Gear-wise, we have full updates on the latest from both Helikon-Tex and Viper (two companies really pushing forwards with new products, designs and ideas), plus boots, holsters, camo, torches, masks and even a real-steel bipod!
Steve T puts a range of gasses through their paces, writes about Life With An AEG and also looks for appearences of the Minigun on screen, while Bill pits Ingram against UZI and Frenchie takes a look at early M16s and lets off steam in Last Post.
That's about it for this one, we hope you enjoy the read - and the variety!

With summer well and truly over in the UK, the season finished with its usual grand finale at Ground Zero, for the 2019 National Airsoft Festival and Airsoft Action was the only publication to cover the event in its entirety.
Also there, as guests of Femme Fatale, was Jet and Leah from the USA as they travelled round the UK seeing how airsoft is done here and Kelly tells how she met this great duo.
We have a real treat for you in the armoury this month - the UK's first look at the awesome VFC SR-25 ECC, somethine we have been waiting to get our hands on since seeing it at IWA. Plus we have two from KWA, the HK45 and the Ronin T6, plus WE F18-F18, plus the VFC FNX45 and a superb plastic-slinger in the form of Bolt's MP5SD SWAT.

In the Armoury this month, we take a look at the Specna Arms SA-02 Core bolt-action springer and two BLE pistols from ICS, the XPD and BM9. We also get hold of a UK-made mock supressor for the SIG MCX, which turns out to be a little gem!
As always, our features are as wide and varied as airsoft itself, as we focus on Airsoft Photographer, Lauren Davey (and also have a site report from her home site, Mid Wales Airsoft); Phil takes some pot shots at AttackSense targets and Steve T kicks off a new series called "Life With A...", starting with "Bolt Action Rifle". 
We also have an in-depth interview with Joe "John Wicks" Skillings, the man behind airsoft rental company, SixMil.com and if you are looking for a new pair of gloves, make sure you read Bill's article about the latest releases from German brand, KinetiXx ...and that's before moving onto our regular columns, such as "Versus: Sten v MP40", "The Collector: Spas 12", "The Cage: Plate Carriers" and "Last Post: Chrono Confusion"!
PLUS, PLUS, PLUS... as an added bonus for digital issue readers only, this issue also includes the latest 100-page Military1st.co.uk Product Catalogue! Simply click or tap on the images to go straight to the Military1st website, or see the videos! How cool is that?

Summer is flying by but there is no let up in the number of releases - and this issue of Airsoft Action is proof of exactly that!

We hope you enjoy the read!

With summer just around the corner, many player's thoughts turn new games, new gear and maybe also something new to put in "the armoury"! At Airsoft Action we are players too and we really enjoy telling you about the latest replicas to hit the market. This issue is no exception, as we open the AA Armoury a total of seven times, including an exclusive first look at both the stunning ARES Remington MS338 and the sublime Radian Model.1 from PTS, among others.
If you are into your gear and computer games, then make sure you don't miss our exclusive "Division 2" article, where we re-create three of the main character loadouts.
We all know the importance of having the correct eye-protection but do you know what all the standards mean and which are actually acceptable for airsoft? If not, Tom Hibberd explains everything and makes some recommendations in his must-read "Eyepro Safety Standards" feature.
This issue also sees the launch of three new features: "As Seen on Screen", "The Collector" and "Versus", alongside all our regular articles and columns.
Bill, Phil and Tom report from "Op Flashman", the latest Pilgrim Bandits Charity game, while Angelo D-V heads over to Anarchy Airsoft to get in some game time. Bill also reports from The Northern Shooting show, where the face of airsoft was well represented, albeit by a smaller number of companies than last year.
Wherever you are playing, play well, play fair and play safe!
See you out there!

Welcome to the latest issue of Airsoft Action, voted The Best Airsoft Magazine by airsoft players for three years running.
If you want to be an Airsoft Sniper but don't want the high cost, read  Bill's article about NUPROL's Tango Tactical 96 Package but if GBB pistols are more your thing, then Phil's look at the TM M45A1 will be of interest. Phil also gets his hands on KWA's excellent TK45 ERG and finds that a "Ronin" really can kick! On top of that, Bill also gets out a "big gun" in the form of A&K's awesome PKM, while Steve tackles the odd-looking WE GP1799 and checks out the Xcortech X3300W for good measure.
For Kit & Gear, Bill finishes his round up of IWA 2019 with a look at the tactical goodness that is found in "Hall 9" and also gives us an overview of an American boot brand that is bound to make a big impression the UK, Bates Boots. Elsewhere, Will writes about a classic pair of binoculars that are perfect for a variety of impressions and gives us his take on how to "pimp" a daypack to make it more useful, while Frenchie introduces his new series and also writes about airsoft writers.

We have said it before (and will no doubt say it again)... It its in airsoft, its in airsoft action - we hope you enjoy it!

Welcome to the 87th issue of The Players' Choice Best Airsoft Magazine!

IWA is probably the most important show for airsoft outside of the Far East and, once again, the Airsoft Action team was there to bring you all the news, views and gossip on what the world of airsoft has in store for us. Read our 5-page report starting on Page 24.

In "The Armoury" we spotlight three very different guns, in the form of Umarex's HK416 GBB, ASG's CZ SP-01 "Grey" and LCT's Vityaz-SN - all tried and tested by AA writers.

We know that safety is paramount in airsoft and none more so than protecting our eyesight. Wiley X is a well-respected manufacturer of military-grade eye protection and "Tactical Optician", Andy Bourne, checks out some of their range suited to airsoft.

Seeing an opponent before they see you is an important part of winning and, crossing over from "real steel", Sightmark Optics are designed to do just that. Bill Thomas gives us an overview of this "new to airsoft" brand and also, along with Femme Fatale, outlines the "Second Line Gear" they will be carrying as part of "Project Crete".

Site-wise, we visit a vast new site in Staffordshire, called "The Kingdom", re-visit "Stormforce Airsoft" where new players are more than welcome and head down to South Africa, where Alpine Airsoft are creating a huge stir with "Razor's Edge" - you most definitely do not want to miss it!

Bringing new players into the game is how it continues to thrive and Gadge calls upon his many years of experience to offer some excellent advice on putting your first load-out together - and to help with that, on Page 67 we are giving away a "First Time Player's Kit" courtesy of NUPROL, including a NUPROL PIONEER DEFENDER!

On top of all that, of course we still have all our regular columns and features for you to read and enjoy.

Thanks for reading Airsoft Action - and for making us Number One for the second year running!

The Airsoft Action Team.

Welcome to Issue 86 of Airsoft Action - a 100-page issue of the Award Winning Airsoft magazine!

At the start of every year, there are two shows that are important to airsoft: SHOT in Las Vegas and IWA in Nuremberg. They are huge and Airsoft Action is on the ground to bring you all the latest from both, starting with Kelly's four-page SHOT Show report in this issue. Kelly also brings us another report from the USA, as she took part on Jet Desertfox Airsoft's innaugural event "Battle For Lost Angeles", where smartphone technology was an integral part of the gameplay.

We know you love your guns and we have a superb selection of six for you to drool over... SIG MCX, Glock 42, AKS74N Recoil, GC16 Predator, SVD AEG and G36C GBB.

Lez Lee chats to  Cybergun's recently appointed UK distributor, Hobby Airsoft, and discovers this Irish company has big plans for the future, while Bill Thomas continues our international coverage as he speaks to Toloks Club Airsoft Merida, in Mexico.

"Warriors" is always a popular feature and in this issue, Gadge Harvey pulls out all the stops with a superb 5-page article about Soviet "Stinger Hunters" in Afghanistan, before joining forces with Tom Hibberd in our first ever Quiz as, with tongues planted firmly in cheeks, they ask "How "Opeartor" Are You?" Tom also gives us some advice and guidance on how to paint your gun without spending a fortune.

Elsewhere, Matt Fury-King tells Bill Thomas how he creates his unique "airsoft vehicles", Lez takes a return visit to South Coast CQB and discovers a site where disabled players are more than welcome, new French contributor and airsoft sniper, Groquick, gets his hands on a couple of thermal vision products and Frenchie tries to keep his blood pressure undder control as he writes about the (anti-)social phenomenon known as "chairborne warriors".

There's loads more in this 100 page issue of your favourite magazine but you don't want to read it here - grab a copy and enjoy it in full!

Welcome to Issue 85 of the Players Choice Airsoft magazine, Airsoft Action.

In this issue we have not three, not four but FIVE gun reviews, including NUPROL's new RAVEN pistols, Secutor's Velites Shottie, Umarex's fully licensed Glock 17, Raptor's PKP and the oldie but goodie, G&G Springfield bolt-action rifle!

...and two awesome competitions!

There is also loads of kit and gear: Enfield's value for money Optics, ASG's New Storm 360 Grenade, Multi-Tools, Custom Pistol Stands, Soft Shells and a look inside an online company that is being noticed by more and more airsofters, Heinnie Haynes.

...did we mention our two competitions?

Ben Webb, in his first article for Airsoft Action, asks whether it is time for us to "stop gearing up for likes and start gearing up to get the job done" by putting the mission first, while Gadge ponders whether being an airsoft sniper is all it's cracked up to be and also takes a look at the (in)famous Galil Assault Rifle. 

...and our two superb competitions!

Kelly heads out to West Midlands Airsoft:The FoB and also gets your views on the use of grenades in airsoft, while Bill Thomas speaks to Stelios, from the Rethimno Airsoft Association and also previews an up-coming huge event on the island of Crete, where both he and Kelly will be reporting from later this year. We might also be able to bring you some superb news in the near future, about a deal we are arranging with the organisers - so keep your eyes peeled!

...just in case we forgot to mention, we have two awesome competitions!

Rounding everything off we have all our usual columns and features, such as "Warriors", "Airsoft Skills" and Frenchie's "Last Post".

...and also have two superb competitions, where you can win a Umarex Gen 3 Glock 17, kindly supplied by EZ Distribution and an Enfield ENFL41 Laser System, supplied by Armex. Nice!!

We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we did putting it together for you.
