Assessment, Part 1: M4s.
We started off looking at the Echo 1 Stag Arms M4 Commando sent to us from Pyramyd Air. Here's the lovely box in which your AEG will arrive.
Inside the box, you will find all these goodies.
The Echo 1 Stag Arms M4 Commando - a nice, basic M4
Compare the size of the commando version and the standard M4 (commando version on the bottom in the photo).
Our second M4 was the DBOYS M4 with CASV. Here's a look at it in its most basic form.
Check out what Ox did to his to turn it into a DMR.
Then we looked at the KWA M4 - a really nice AEG sent to us by Airsoft Extreme.
Tricks of the Trade, Part 1: What to pack for an airsoft op. If you're interested in getting a copy of this list, feel free to e-mail me at
CQBRadio@gmail.comTricks of the Trade, Part 2: In this section, we spoke with Booligan of Airsoft Retreat and many other airsoft websites on the net.
Assessment, Part 2: M4s
We got back into M4s by looking at the Jing Gong M4.
Next M4 - the Classic Army M4 Sportline.
Here's a look at the slightly different stock that this AEG has.
I put on a new flash hider and added this flashlight and flashlight holder just to change it up a bit.
Our final M4 was the new Echo 1 Stag Arms full-metal M4. Pyramyd Air supplied this AEG for review.
Retailer Review: In our retailer review, we talked about Shorty USA.
Just In: We talked about some new items that are on the airsoft market, as well as some helpful websites. The first one was Airsoft Forum and there you can find pictures of various airsoft loadouts.

EBAirsoft is selling a big, chunky grenade launcher for $149.

WORD ON THE STREET, Part 1: An update on airsoft events happening in New England.
Massachusetts: Operation Resident Eval
ASSESSMENT: Our first AEG reviewed in Assessment was the H&K dual-power MP5 sent to me from Pyramyd Air.
Here's the included speedloader with the "guide" at the end of it to help make sure the BBs end up in the magazine.
The second AEG we looked at was the H&K MP5 - a step above the dual-power MP5 from H&K. Thanks again to Pyramyd Air for this AEG.
This AEG comes with: the gun, a sling, a sight mount, a reflex sight, instructions, a charger, some fuses, and a 9.6 volt battery.
A solid lower receiver and the H&K trades.
Skirmish ready and not too expensive - the MP5 from H&K.
The last gun we reviewed was the super-compact Well G55 gas blow-back MP5K. Thanks to Airsoft Extreme for sending me this item for review.
With a great rate of fire, this is a nice gas gun and a great CQB weapon or a back-up for a sniper or DMR.
TRICKS OF THE TRADE: Next, we spoke with Scaar from AATV. He and Shadow do in-depth and pretty funny review of airsoft items.
LOADOUT: Loadout was all about gun bags. The first two are from UTG and Pyramyd Air sent them to me to review.
Lots of straps inside to hold your guns in place.
The 2nd bag was the UTG Soft Case
The last 2 bags were the Condor Rifle Bags - one from Airsoft Extreme and one from Airsplat.
A look inside the outer pocket.
Storing my LR300 in the bag.
Here's the bag in black. It also comes in tan.
RETAILER REVIEW: In our Retailer Review, I interviewed Patrick, the chief operating officer from Pyramyd Air. Check out the Pyramyd Air site - http://www.pyramydair.com/
JUST IN: New items to the airsoft world is what we talked about during Just In. Take a look at this strange but interesting JG PDW.
Hope you enjoy it. Check back on the blog for updates.
