Valken ASL Mod M
Have you noticed in the last couple years that most paintball fields are running
airsoft games simultaneously on separate fields? It looks kind of fun doesn’t it?
Valken agrees with you and has created a line of airsoft guns to get you started.
I mean you already own 90% of the gear that you would need to play anyway
right? All you need is a gun, a couple mags and a can-do attitude! Valken’s
most recent airsoft gun is the ASL Mod-M. It is stacked with all sorts of great
options stock, that are upgrades for many airsoft guns. It has….billet style nylon
fiber receiver, ambidextrous fire selector, pro match trigger, ambidextrous mag
release, free floating modular rail, flip up high vis sights, bolt catch, mil-spec
buffer tube, 6 position vented crane stock, full metal gears, upgraded torque
motor, anodized 6.05mm inner barrel, low resistance wiring, 6mm v2 gearbox,
and anti-reversal latch access. I here you out there… “Dude, I’m a paintballer, is
that good? I don’t know anything about this stuff!”
Short answer, yes. It’s an awesome value and a great
starting point. I haven’t listed its single most important
strength though, and that is that it is a Valken product.
That means, you know it’s reputation. You know who
you are working with. If something goes wrong, you
have Valken’s phenomenal customer service department
there to back you up. When you think about it, that is the single most
import thing when trying out something new. You want to have a solid
support structure and Valken offers that. When you add that to
the pros and cons list you are creating in your head, you
almost must buy one. It’s just pure fun!
