A few interesting items have shown up at the IWA in Germany.
First off red wolf air soft have a prototype MG34. No news on who is making it as yet.
G&G have announced their m1 garand of course. Seems that the new super secret gear box design has been scrapped. It was ment to go ping once empty but it was to complex and expensive, so it seem to be a bottom loader like the ICS version.
Bigger news is the 1903A3 Springfield, same system as the kar98. Handy for US and home guard impressions.
And finally mention has been made of them doing a Lee Enfield. I'm waiting on confirmation, so don't hold you breath. Pic of some of these are on face book.

From what I read it is more like an internal ~120 round high cap. Very disappointing if true :(

There is just so little information about it. And it wouldn't surprise me. Glad I bought the ics

The Redwolfs MG34 is a limited production run, and going to be priced around $1200-$1300 range iirc. I think it's more or less a Zeta Labs rebrand.

Tanaka Kar 98k, AGM MP44 x2, Marushin MP40 GBB, AGM MP40, Maruzen Walther P38, WA Walther P38.

No mention of the A&K MG42 though, strange, as I've been informed it's "imminent".



When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!

The 1903 has already been made by G&G but has also been "cloned" by S&T (smart team)

Picture from IWA of the G&G

Another shell loaded rifle? This time a mosin?

Also they are making a KAR 98 springer and gas powered rifle (Think they are shell ejecting marushin rip offs.)

A shame if the K98s are shell ejectors, normal springers are what we need! I think I read that the G&G Mosin will come in both shell ejecting and mag fed versions at least. Still gas though. :slap:

And still no sign of this elusive lee Enfield. My take on it. They have mistaken the moisin for an Enfield

You have the iron airsoft enfeild (Matrix) but no sign of it being sold in the UK atm.

Can only be brought at Evike.

from polular airsoft:

G&G also released their WWII series: the M1 Garand (mid and hi-cap magazine version), and two versions of the 1903 Enfield. The interesting thing about the 1903 is that it uses 8g CO2 cartridge instead of a 12g what makes the logistics a bit easier and cheaper. (enfield i s a typo i think as it should be 1903 springfield) :slap:

Hi Cap garand mag:


Springfield CO2 Mag.


So for those that havent brought the ICS M1 version G&G will bring you standard mags! :happydance:
