Notice there is very minimal cool-down lag near the end of the mag. Way cool.

Damn!
CRW-Airsoft beat me to building the MGS4 M4 Custom. Not to mention, they did a damn fine job, if you ask me. But don’t take my word for it, take a look for yourself!

Hot damn, she’s sexy!
Great work CRW, and we look forward to more great products from you in the future.
This M4 Custom is Coming Soon - so as soon as it’s available on their site, we’ll post up a link. In the meantime, enjoy the sexy picture.
Cheers all, and great work CRW!

ECHO1USA P90:
Finally, not only another manufacturer makes P90’s, but they are cheap! Everyone’s favourite manufacturer of AEGs for the budget airsofter now is making a P90TR clone, called the E90. Now all we need is a Five-seveN clone!
Tokyo Marui AKS 74U:
TM has jumped on the AKS 74U bandwagon, with this offering featuring their new “recoil engine” (this is the same gearbox found in their AK 74MN). They hope to raise the bar by including an aluminum receiver, but a lack of wood, and a new magazine design that makes it incompatible with all other AK mags may put it short of the VFC model, or even some of the more budget priced versions i.e. the Unicorn AKS 74UN.

UPDATE #2:
I got the SCAR-H in yesterday - the fastest shipping of an AEG in recorded history, I swear. Well, for me, anyways. Thanks goes out to MOPIC for getting it to me blazingly fast.
The original intention of the Trigger Master was to go into my MGS4 M4 Custom project, however I’ve decided to put a Systema Revolution gearbox/motor in it instead. Well, whenever the bloody thing is released, that is.
Why I chose the SCAR-H for the Trigger Master
The SCAR-H and SCAR-L are notorious for not being able to fit a large battery. An 8.4V mini gives the AEG a terrible rate of fire, and the motor sounds like it has to spin up for almost a second on a semi-auto trigger press. I plan on installing a Li-Poly 11.1V 1200mAh battery instead of the conventional 8.4V mini (and upgrade any mechbox internals as necessary), and one of the main selling points of the Trigger Master is that it can control battery consumption, and has a low-battery warning. Because LiPo batteries are sensitive to over discharge, this is a perfect solution to solve the battery problem on a SCAR, while giving yourself the benefits of computer-controlled fire and 3-round bursts.
The “Unboxing“
OK, it wasn’t shipped in a box, but a cardboard envelope. No big deal, right? You tell me. The circuitry hopefully isn’t sensitive to static discharge, because it was shipping in a Ziplock bag, and not a static bag.
Other than that - the documentation included is minimal. Installation guide can be found online here for an M4, or here for an AK. I’m installing the Trigger Master on a SCAR-H (same as an SR-25) and there are no specific instructions for a SCAR-H or SR-25, but the example for the M4 is close enough to what I’m looking for. But that’s the next part of the review.
It would have really been nice to see a hard-copy of the Full Documentation ( <– PDF link) included, so I have a portable record of how to configure the unit on-the-fly. So be prepared to print one off yourself, unless you have a photographic memory and can memorize the programming instructions.
Maybe I missed it, but I’m also looking for the initial “setup”, or “training” instructions for the unit. Once installed, the unit mut be “trained” to your gun. Those instructions are not included, as far as I can tell. These would have been VERY useful - and are included in the Full Documentation. So again, you’ll want to print a copy.
Shipping
Shipping costs are reasonable, packaging is sufficient, and shipping times are acceptable (not out of the ordinary).
First Impressions & Summary - Pre-Installation
First thoughts are fairly positive. Looks good, has lots of extra wire to ensure proper and easy installation. Documentation would be great, but is not shipped with product. Cost is reasonable for what the product offers, and shipping costs are standard.
Next, is the installation…

Hey everyone,
I’ve recently been made (painfully) aware, the site runs pretty slow for some users. I’m working on a few changes that should improve things, and in the meantime, I’ve taken the BG wallpaper out to save some loading time.
I’ll investigate some other design options, and see what we can come up with to fix the problem.
Thanks everyone.

I was going to write a review on the TORNADO Grenade from Airsoft Innovations, but why bother, when all you ever need to know (including the best MSPaint stick-man tactics, I’ve ever seen) is right here.
Well done man. Well done.
ROFLMAO.
PS - It should be noted (on a serious level), that the burst tests we conducted yielded almost the exact same results. On average, only 4-5/10 people in a circle felt (or were hit by) the grenade’s BBs.

It should be noted for those keeping score at home, I received my Trigger Master unit on Friday. Hooray!
But wait. I don’t have the gun I’m going to install it on.
The gun is a CA SCAR-H, purchased from a local (Canadian) retailer. Just awaiting on it to arrive, and the review shall commence.
Thanks to Don at Unconventional Airsoft for the fast shipping.

!
Hong Kong-based retailer CRW-Airsoft has released a MSG4 “Old Snake” LBV package (yes, complete with the Hideo Kojima patch) for $100 USD + shipping. Everything you need to be just like Solid Snake! Well, cigarettes are not included.
What is included is quite good - even taking the obvious price inflation because it’s related to MGS4 into consideration.
Features:
Description:
Colours:
YOU BUY NOW!
I figured I’d post this - because it would GO SO GREAT with my Solid Snake M4 Custom project. Maybe I should buy one, and sell it with the completed project… ah, who cares. 
Here’s some eye-candy for you people too lazy to visit CRW yourself:
Now, all you need is a set of OctoCamo, and super-tight buns, and you can be Solid Snake too!

Well AirSharp has stated they won’t be making their 1917-1919 models anymore. But the Machine-Gunning fun isn’t over yet.
For the enterprising of you out there, AirSharp is selling detailed blueprints on how to build your own - for only $40 USD.
Check out their page for details: http://www.air-sharp.com/hey19.htm
And for the rest of us (those who can only dream of owning one of these), here’s some eye-candy:

Well this is where I am going to chronicle the building of my RPK project. I’ve already started:
My goal is to come up with something resembling this:
I’m using an Element AK47 metal body as the base for my RPK receiver. I got a custom outer barrel and a real steel bipod.
Anyways, the task was to fill in the lightening (less weight, not electric discharge) grooves on the side of the body, and the first step in this process is sanding:
I scuffed and sanded with automotive pad then used some 320 grit sandpaper to sand the groves and the area around the sling loop hole. I also used a file on the inside of the hole.
The next step was to start filling the grooves. I used a epoxy I got from Lee Valley. Here it is dry and set. It really is hard as the metal. I would actually say it feels like ceramic. Its hard to tell from the pictures but I over filled the holes and have a lot of sanding ahead of me… Oh also on the inside of the body, over the sling hole, a buddy glued a metal piece in with Gorilla Glue.
In the next few days I am going to try to glue on the side reinforcements (like on a real RPK) and finish the epoxying. The next step after that will be to dremmel both the gas tube and the front sight (my madness will prove it self later on, I hope *crosses fingers*). I will take a picture of the epoxy stuff and post that as well. I also have left to order:
metal front set
steel top cover
AK74 type selector switch
I’ve decided to go with King Arms for all of the above, as King Arms AK accessories seem to always have a very nice finish.
Still a lot of work ahead of me. Wish me luck all…
