NEW TOKYO MARUI RELEASES
Tokyo Marui has unveiled several new releases at the 50th Shizuoka Hobby Show in
Japan. Shown here is the new SCAR-L CQC, released in Japan in October. Release dates
for Europe have not yet been confirmed.
Tokyo Marui’s SCAR-L CQC features the same recoil shock system as the SCAR-L. The
10in barrel comes complete with suppressor and a six-stage extendable stock makes it
ideal for CQB skirmishing. The official price in Japan is around £500.
Also on show was the new Custom Steyr High Cycle, based on the Steyr Aug A3
design but capable of firing 25 rounds per second thanks to a EG-30000HC motor.
Other new releases include a Hi-Capa Custom Match, the Hi-Capa version of TM’s best
selling pistol; the Biohazard Samurai Edge Chris Redfield, a limited edition pistol based
on the one used by Chris Redfield in the Resident Evil series which is celebrating its 15th
anniversary; and a Sig Sauer P226 E2 GBB pistol.

GEIGERRIG
WINS AWARDS
Geigerrig hydration engines, as featured in
last month’s Airsoft Action, was awarded
Best Overall Product and Best Accessory
awards at this year’s Outdoor Trade Show.
The unique Geigerrig hydration system,
which uses a pressure system to spray
water instead of users sucking it from the
bladder, also won the 2011 In-New-Vation
Award for best new product at the Outdoor
Retailer Show in America.
Garry Woodhouse, Marketing Director
for Whitby & Co said: “It is very satisfying
that the benefits offered by the Geigerrig
have been recognised by so many industry
experts both here in the UK and the USA.
The independent endorsement by the OTS
judging panel of outdoor buyers, experts and
enthusiasts and the resulting ‘Overall Best
Product’ Award will give a tremendous boost
to Whitby & Co. in the coming weeks.
”
Curt Geiger, CEO of Geigerrig said:
“Geigerrig hydration engines were
developed to provide a more effective way of
drinking and using water while on the move.
By drinking from an automatic pressurised
stream of water as opposed to sucking from
a engine and bite valve often contaminated
with ‘backwash’, users can take on 30 per
cent more water.
SRP: from £79.95
