Classic Army CA33E Review
Redwolf Airsoft has posted up a great review on the new Classic Army CA33E AEG. From reading the review, it seems as tho CA has done a great job in the CA33E, with a rock solid build and with upgraded power right out of the box, this new gun from Classic Army should make a great skirmish weapon with tons of upgrade potential. Wanna know more? Check out the CA33E Review on Redwolf Airsoft.

ICS M4A1 Review
Redwolf Airsoft has also posted up a review on the new ICS M4A1 AEG. Looks like the new mechbox design by ICS turns out to be a great new feature that allows for quick repairs to the mechbox. With tons of great features and accessories all packed together, the new ICS M4A1 is probably the most feature packed AEG right out of the box. The new refined Armalite metal body is a great accessory which makes this gun a great value. Read more about the ICS M4A1 at Redwolf Airsoft.

Planet Airsoft hits One Million Viewers
You know when I first created this website, I never would have thought I would even get 100 visitors let alone one million visitors. I originally created Planet Airsoft as my personal hobby site, but it has come so far since then. I just want to say a great big thank you to all the people who have supported my website continously, you guys are my motivation and without you guys, I would have closed down this website a long time ago. I actually thought about giving up on this site several times but you guys are the ones that give me hope and for that I can not disappoint you all.

Planet Airsoft would not be what is today without our loyal visitors. I can't thank you guys enuff for all the kind emails and positive feedback that you guys have sent me. Currently many things are happening in my life and I have been really busy with school and what not, I appologize for not updating this site as often as I'd like, but I promise I will try my best to keep you all updated with the latest airsoft buzz. Take care everyone and keep shooting down those tangos!

New Tokyo Marui MP5J AEG
Tokyo Marui has released a new MP5 variant dubbed the MP5J. The MP5J is basically a MP5 High Grade with several external differences. Most obvious is the weird looking retractable stock which has been reinforced for more rigidity and improved for better a better hold onto the shoulders. The MP5J also comes with a low profile scope mount for all those cool optics out there and a QD PDW style flash hider which hides a threaded tri-lug muzzle for silencer attachment. One of the new features of the MP5J is the 3-shot burst firing mode. Nothing too special but externally, the new high grade MP5's are much better in terms of construction and reliability.

Classic Army to Make M249 AEG
Spotted this at Arnies Airsoft. Seems like Classic Army has been secretly developing their own version of the M249 SAW. This AEG should be very interesting, I am sure there will a great deal of improvement from the Top M249 which has a few reliability issues that need to be addressed. CA will be using a TM style mechbox in their M249, which means you dont need to spend an arm and leg on the ANGS upgrade kits just to make your Minimi shoot nice and reliabiliy. Knowing CA, I'm pretty sure they will try to have more metal parts than the Top M249. I am very excited to see this gun when it comes out, if CA does it right with this project, I am sure they will give Top a run for their money.

Colt 1911 .45 Photos from Space Cowboy
This is for all you 1911 fans out there. Thanks to Space Cowboy for sending in these kick ass photos of the Colt 1911 pistol. You know, no matter how many times I look at a 1911, they are still so sexy, and these photos just reinforce that sexiness even more. The 1911 is an old pistol and has been in service for many years, maybe its the slimline silhouette it makes or the big .45 calibre barrel that gives it that edge. But one thing is for sure, the 1911 started the .45 craze and to this day, you still see new pistols being made with styling from the 1911. Stay tuned for more awesome photos from Space Cowboy, he keeps sending me so many nice pics that its hogging all my hosting space haha. Thanks Jon and enjoy the pics!

New Western Arms Gas Blow Back Pistols
Western Arms Japan have been hard at work producing many new pistols over the spring season. Here are a couple of WA's newest works, featuring several additions to the Para Ordnance, Wilson Combat and Beretta series. I especially like the new Parkerized finishing in the Para Ordnance HRT Mil-Spec and the Wilson Combat Professional Model. The SCW Para Ordnance tho, does it look funky or what? Looks like some crazy sci fi robocop cyborg stab u in the face gun.

New Classic Army CA33E Released
Classic Army's newest complete full metal AEG is out, the new CA33E is a replica of the HK33 rifle and Classic Army has sure packed in a whole lot of new features into this AEG. It's full metal construction consists of an easy-detachable metal body, cocking tube, front site, one-piece outer barrel and aluminum flash hider. The CA33E will also have a metal hop-up unit with improved hop-up bucking, a high-torque motor and metal spring guide. Out of the box it shoots 330fps and comes with a 330 round hi cap magazine. Reminds me alot of the old CA MP5's, they were a great value with lots of goodies but, like all CA guns, its best to upgrade the mechbox a little to make it more reliable. This new AEG from CA is definately going to sell, its a great gun at a great price.

New Products at Redwolf Airsoft
Redwolf Airsoft has some funky new products in stock, first up is the new MILSPEX camouflage cover for AR-15's, they come in short and long depending on your weapon and available in urban, desert and woodland camouflage. The urban ones look like they would work well in snow games for all your hardcore players who enjoy playing in the snow. This would be a good alternative for people who wish to camou out their guns without actually painting them.

TC M14 AEG from Hong Kong
Tokyo Model Company of HK has notified me of a new M14 AEG manufactured by a Hong Kong company name TC, this gun is available in very limited numbers, it is another custom aeg project in HK like the Airsoft Club M14, design and contruction is very similar to the Airsoft Club version, but from the pictures and from what I know about the Airsoft Club M14, it seems as tho this M14 may be of higher quality in terms of contruction material and workmanship.
