The Army Armament R604 is a Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol based on the Hi-Capa frame, which is known for its good gas performance due to large Magazines.

The Army Armament R902 Aug Military Model Railed AEG is an iconic replica of the Austrian military rifle. It is certainly one to add to your assault rifle collection. It has also been seen in Australia and New Zealand and was also wielded by Karl, the mercenary companion to Hans Gruber during their attempted takeover of Nakatomi Headquarters in the 1988 movie Die Hard.

The R902 boasts full metal construction, a long inner barrel and an integrated 3x optical sight, it is a more modern iteration of the AUG with the addition of multiple 20mm rail sections for accessories not commonly associated with AUG platforms, such as flashlights, lasers and backup sights.

We have seen Tri-shot shotguns before, and even M3 Super 90 style ones, so what makes this so special? Well, it is full metal, giving it a solid feel in the hands and a decent but not over-the-top weight, and CYMA has added a few frills to this ancient TM design to add extra realism for those that seek it, most notably the moving mock bolt carrier and charging handle, which has been omitted from Airsoft M3 Super 90 shotguns until now. If you have a taste for realism and you need a spring tri-shot to expand your arsenal this would be a great pick!
