New Classic Army M4A1 Carbine
This is the newest full metal aeg by Classic Army, the CA M4A1 Carbine. With the success of the Classic Army Full Metal Mp5 Series, CA has decided to put out a full metal M4A1 Carbine to try to compete with the popular Tokyo Marui Company. The Classic Army Metal AEG Series are a great value, although they are known for cheap internals, once replaced with upgraded or stock TM parts they are just as reliable. This gun has a one piece metal outer barrel which is a remedy for barrel wobble and sports the CA M4A1 Metal Body 2nd Version. The price is unkown at the moment.

New First's Factory Product Line
This is the complete 2001 product line from First's Factory. The new product line consists of 5 main series: The P90 Custom Series, Shadow Series, Dark Knights Series, M16 Complete Series and the H&K Complete Series. Each of the guns in these the product line are fully decked out with the latest accessories and upgrades and hand built by First Factory gunsmiths. Althought these guns are quite pricey, the workmanship put into each individual gun is outstanding. The gun I like the most is the Genocide Assassin Shadow AUG, it just looks way too sexy.

Accessory Add-On for Takara Swat Series
This is the new accessory add on package for the Takara LAPD Swat Series. The add on kit includes every single H&K MP5 ever made, in addition to the scope and red dot provided in this kit, the package also comes with a vertical grip and ris for the MP5 aswell as a detachable silencer. I dont know about you guys but I think these dolls have gone too far! They have more MP5's in every possible configuration than I do! Anyways I hope you get a sense of what these dolls are like as they are highly detailed and extremely realistic.
