Recently, the entire RAINBOW Airsoft Team purchased these shotguns in preparation for Code Red Airsoft's 2011 Halloween Zombie Night. For only $50 dollars, we were a little skeptical on how these things were going to work. In the box, we had: the shotgun itself, one shotgun shell, a sling, and instuction manual. The shotgun feels and appears to be made out of a decent plastic, but still nervous because of the abuse our team put on guns.
The shotgun comes in many different styles. It is made with a full stock, collapsing barrel, no stock with a rail system, and shorter barrel. The team decided...

If you knew anything about me (Trench), you would know that I abuse my airsoft rifles. Thats why I had to find a rifle that was built for me. So I decided to make a custom airsoft rifle built from the ground up that applied to my specific needs. I knew that I wanted an M4 type base weapon that was light weight, durable, and shooting 350 FPS (Feet Per Second), at 15-20 RPS (Rounds Per Second). So I decided to start with the light weight aluminum body. I went with the Matrix Challenge Kit - AIM Sportsline M4 Carbine. The reason for that you ask? Well bottom line, I was on a budget. I then stripped...

-------------- In RAINBOW's very first Web Series episode, there was a lot of comments about my Red Dot Scope cover being closed, which would render it useless. What most people don't know, is that I play every actual game with the scope exactly as pictured above. I will explain in this article exactly how my Leapers Red Dot works with the cover closed, and every other option available.

First I will explain how the Red Dot is used with...

Hey guys, Ranger here. I'm going to squash the latest controversy between the two most leading and competitive weapon systems around in airsoft to date. The Airsoft Electric Gun, and the Gas Blow Back Gun. The two most sought after weapon systems in airsoft. Im going to start out with the pro's and the con's between the two types of weapon systems. First on the list, is the GBB system. This weapon system is the more realistic of the two. With a full metal body, its weight often resembles the real deal. As you fire this weapon you will immediately feel the realism by the blow back system....

The Echo 1 M4 was my first higher quality airsoft rifle. Before, I was always using pistols and spring guns. After deciding to get back into airsoft, I walked into the shop looking for a gun. The owner instantly asked for my price range, and i told him "whatever is cheapest but will allow me to compete with the pros". Right away he pointed at a few different rifles. I picked up a G3, but the owner pointed at some M4's. He sold me on the M4's upgrade capabilities, and ease of replacing parts compared to other guns.
As soon as I returned home, I charged up my battery and placed it on the gun....
