INSIDE AIRSOFT VX-9: CONCEPT TO REALITY “ROSS TELLS ME THAT THE VX-9 WILL BE AVAILABLE IN A RANGE OF DIFFERENT FINISHES AND WILL BE SOLD EITHER AS A SINGLE, OR AS A “MATCHED PAIR” WITH SEQUENTIAL SERIAL NUMBERS, WHICH SOUNDS SUPER-COOL. I’LL REPORT BACK HAVING SEEN THEM IN THE FLESH AT IWA, WITH A FULL RANGE REPORT SHORTLY AFTER, SO WATCH THIS SPACE!” internally “tweaked” to make sure it attaches as smoothly and as efficiently as possible; both inner and outer barrel threads to extend the barrel have been addressed, with a custom moulded and designed suppressor made “just so” so that the VX-9 recoils correctly. Now I don’t know about you, but this level of attention to detail impresses the heck out of me! What I am loving about the airsoft industry at the moment is that more than ever manufacturers are ploughing their own furrows in terms of innovation and design. When you add that we, as players, are not content these days to accept something that simply “looks like” a particular weapon, but also want the best levels of performance from it, then those same manufacturers are giving us just that, as standard, from the moment we lift our newest airsoft pistol or rifle from the box! They are taking the opportunity to make what people want but also what they don’t know they want, thinking quite literally outside the box! Is it the place of the manufacturer to open new areas for models? I believe it is and by creating the VX-9, taking inspiration from other areas that we all love, VORSK have done this, and I can’ wait to get my hands on one! In closing, Ross tells me that the VX-9 will be available in a range of different finishes and will be sold either as a single, or as a “matched pair” with sequential serial numbers, which sounds super-cool. I’ll report back having seen them in the flesh at IWA, with a full range report shortly after, so watch this space! AA WIN VORSK NUMBER 001!
