EVOLUTION AIRSOFT
Italian online Airsoft blog , airsoftnews . net , which become very popular with us early adopters online ! After graduating university , Sergio decided to convert his passion into a full-time job by involving the co-founder of Evolution in his fledgling business , Giovanni Castelluccia , his father . Their first intention was to make the Far Eastern brands available to the European market and in a short time , Sergio gained the exclusive distribution of very important brands such as Classic Army , Systema and ICS and Evolution International ’ s activity continued as sole distributor for several years .
Sergio ’ s ambition , however , was to create his own products , so he decided to gradually abandon distribution to devote himself to innovation and production , focusing on those aspects that , in his opinion , were neglected by other manufacturers .
The first product launched on the market , dating back 15 years ( around the time I first met him from memory as I remember the launch of these !), was the XTREME PRECISION BIODEGRADABLE BB . At the
time , biodegradable BBs timidly appeared on the market causing many problems to us-ers due to their unstable production materials . Sergio ’ s solution was by way of using PLA ( polyactic acid , typically made from the sugars in corn starch , cassava or sugarcane ; it ’ s biodegradable , car-bon-neutral and edible !) as a basic material , creating biodegradable BBs with the same characteris-tics as normal ones . The XTREME PRECISION BBs have been an incredible success and cemented the path Evolution chose to follow : innovation , technological superiority and out of the box think-ing ! In the years following this philosophy was adopted for all Evolution products .
Sergio ’ s obsession was perfection . To him , airsoft replicas had to reflect faithfully real weapons so the next step was obtaining licenses to produce faithful replicas of real firearms such as Tangodown , Z-M Weapons , Lone Star Tactical , ADC Armi Dallera Custom and DSR Precision . For several years Evolution International S . r . l . focused on production of licensed replicas but for Sergio it still wasn ’ t enough , so he decided not to limit himself only to the production of replicas but to design his own original models ! He hired a well-known Italian firearm designer based on Val-trompia ( the “ Firearms Valley ” of renown !) and working side by side with him for six months , he developed from the ground up the GHOST series , an original family of rifles with a very distinctive look designed in-house from scratch .
But Sergio ’ s obsession as an airsoft player was not just about the exterior of an AEG but also the interior ! Thanks to technological development that made miniaturized electronic components available , it has been possible for Evolution International to start developing its unique electronic boards . They have gradually evolved up to the ETS III CONFIGURATION , which are built-in as standard in all the new HARD
