AIRSOFT AIRSOFT NEWS NEWS GEIGERRIG PRESSURISED HYDRATION Platoon Stores is a new stockist of the revolutionary Geigerrig hydration system. Unlike its competitors, Geigerrig takes the ‘suck’ out of your hydration problem with its air pump system. The bite valve sprays water rather than wasting energy trying to suck fluid through. The additional purification kit allows you to collect water from natural sources and purify it in the hydration system, without the need for purifying tablets – and works for up to 50 gallons. Tried and tested by Platoon Stores, it is recommended as a professionals’ choice. Shown here is the RIG 1600 Ballistic, a 26-litre pack with a three-litre bladder, which retails at £114.95 Distributed by Whitby & Co: 01539 721032, www.whitbyandco.co.uk.

Airsoft Action was privileged to be invited to an exclusive first look at the five AK variants. The guns are assembled here in the UK. They feature metal bodies, real wood furniture where appropriate and have been designed to be as close to the real thing as possible – some even have Russian markings. Due to commercial sensitivities we cannot bring you too much information at this time. We’ve had a good close look at the first pre-production models though, and if the final versions are as good as M&C says they will be then we can’t wait to put them through their paces. Pricing has not yet been settled but an M&C spokesman has confirmed they will be “very competitively priced, and available ” early in the New Year. M&C is not releasing any other details at this time so watch this space... More importantly though: M&C has agreed to add a rifle of the winner’s choosing to our Camouflage Competition Prize Pot!
