In this issue

As we slowly shake off the effects of our enforced downtime, Airsoft Action continues to bring you the biggest reviews in airsoft. No "influencers" here, just honest, professional appraisal of what's important to airsofters, written by airsofters, for airsofters worldwide! With more guns, more gear and more independent reviews, Airsoft Action will always be at the forefront of what's happening in our beloved game and this issue is no exception and kicks off with a full, pre-production review of the stunning ARES KELTEC RDB, plus the sublime EVOLUTION RECON, MODIFY's M24 and CYMA's newest take on the venerable MP5. We also take a close look at the ICS VULUTURE and RAPTOR GRACH, along with masses of KIT & GEAR, plus PENGHU's BIG GUNS, PERUN's latest and TEN different TACTICAL AKs, along with all our usual features and articles. Wherever you are in the world, stay safe, stay well and, if you aren't already, we hope you'll be playing again soon!
