up to the job. AEGs don’t stop on the last
round being fired, gas rifles just aren’t reliable
enough and pistols not robust enough.
Things have changed in recent times though:
the use of airsoft guns has been adopted
by government agencies, branches of the
military, law enforcement and private security
companies around the world. This is because
build quality and realism have improved
dramatically.
Systema and Celcius make fantastic,
electrically-powered training rifles, and many
of the latest gas blowback rifles – the WE
G39 range for example – can be adopted for
training purposes. On the pistol side, KWA
was perhaps the
first company
to bring
out a range
of dedicated
training pistols – but
Socom Gear has now released, in
conjunction with Viking Tactics, a
1911 specifically for training. So it
should make an awesome all-yearround gas blowback sidearm for the
airsoft skirmish theatre.
