G&G's booth at Shot Show 2010 (Also includes Top Tech products)

Last but not least... the G&G Booth.
Here we have the G&G version of the FN2000, the GN2000. This was a prototype unit that didn't yet have the hop-up unit installed, so there is a lot of mystery surrounding this one. The FN2000 certainly isn't for everyone, but the externals were a good match-up against the real thing.

The L85 is just plain cool... It's already released, but it's very unique and comes complete with pnumatic blowback. This thing comes in 2 varients: the A1 and the A2. The version pictured below is the longer variant, the L85 A1. I didn't really want to put it back down, but eventually I had to move on.

On the first wall, in addition to the bullpup L85 mentioned above, we have "stockless" variants of the M4. Instead of a traditional stock, these only have a weighted stock tube to help balance the weapon (Thanks to RJ @ Chairsoft magazine for that explaination after seeing my puzzled look). There are awesome for CQB scenarios. Underneath them were some prototypes of the G96 line of gas powered sniper rifles. Some of these bodies are made from real wood, a really nice touch.

The next wall shows the G&G Sig 550, now joined by 3 other length variants (The 551, 552, and 553). The build quality and overall look on these makes any Sig fan want to collect the whole set. At the bottom we have more variants of the G96 gas sniper rifles, we'll have a closer look at one later.

G&G Display Wall 1-2

More prototypes are seen below. Unfortunately in an image deleting spree we lost the display of the upcoming SCAR Heavy, but we can confirm it is on the way.

These are a mix of all kinds of goodies...Some are entry level plastic bodies, some are the pro-line metal bodies, and some TopTech AEGs with blowback.

Here are some close-ups of the L96 gas sniper rifle. No release date or pricing information was available, but the L96 felt very sturdy. We are looking to add gas sniper rifles to our inventory, and this may be the one to finally do it.

And nogw for the EBR. Surprisingly light for such a big weapon. We will really be keeping an eye on this one.

G&G showed off a lot of goodies. As usual, there were a little light on the info, but we are used to that around here. Here is a video highlight of all the 2010 goodies

Spartan Imports booth at Shot Show 2010 (Classic Army, Magpul PTS, Ares)

by Armorer 2/2/2010 3:12:00 PM

Next up: The Spartan Imports booth. Spartan has been expanding their exclusive distribution of several brands in the US. On display were Classic Army, Magpul PTS, and Ares airsoft guns. Unfortunately we didn't have time to photograph the Ares stuff, but the next edition of Chairsoft Magazine will have some extra coverage in that area.

Ah yes... the MINIGUN. This is no clone of the Echo 1... this is a completely new design. The battery only rotates the barrels, which has a mechanism to load the BBs. A tank of gas is required to proppel the BBs, with some sort of adjustable pressure sytem from 300-500 FPS.

The unloaded and unpowered beast weights 22lbs, so start hitting the gym now. This thing is as solid as a block of steel. At this time there is no price or release date information.

There were some nice prototypes on display, including this Gas Blow Back M4 with "Tango Down" etched on on the receiver.

Classic Army GBB M4 Display

It didn't feel quite as solid as the KWA GBB M4s, but we expect this one to cost a bit less, which should give more airsofters an opportunity to experience the GBB goodness.

Here is a prototype of some wicked looking machine gun:

And finally, some Magpul AEG loving... This Magpul M4 is just sweet

We also felt up the upcoming Magpul ACR. Sexy time!

The ACR felt great. Unfortunately they didn't have all of the conversion available to play with, This will be a bit costly to have all of the options available, but players may like having a "one stop shop" for their airsoft needs.

Overall Spartan Imports had a great lineup on display! We are looking forward to getting more details on the EBR and GBB M4.
