Airsoft New Releases at IWA Outdoor Classics 2024
G&G Booth
LevAR 15"
Let's start with probably the most innovative Airsoft product at IWA 2024; the G&G LevAR 15". This gas-powered lever action rifle is a unique hybrid of M4/AR-15 and Winchester/Henry Rifle looks, perfect for the space cowboys out there!
The LevAR 15" is reportedly compatible with G&G M4 AEG upper receivers, allowing you to configure it how you want, from a long sniper rifle-style setup to a compact and agile scout rifle perfect for mobile marksmen. Powered by green gas using an internal gas reservoir, the LeVAR 15" also boasts a 1913/20mm Picatinny stock interface, meaning the stock can be swapped rapidly and you have the pick of the litter when it comes to aftermarket stock options. Unconventional Airsofters who appreciate customisation options; you'll love this one!
FFR9 Pink & Blue
The FFR9 has been around for about a year now, offering incredible ARP-9 performance in a folding body kit, ideal for minimalist skirmishers and those who like to travel light. What's changed is the two new colour options; a glamourous pink/purple/rose gold combo and an equally eye-catching turquoise/white/silver scheme.
G&G is well known for offering its platforms in some funky colour choices, including the Femme Fatale Pink and Chione Winter White combat machines, and of course, the GR4 G26 Black Rose. We're happy to see this G&G tradition continue, Marmite though these platforms may be!
ESG B-10 Shotgun
Dubbed by G&G as the "Evolution Shotgun Bullpup", the ESG B-10 is similar in principle to the ill-fated FLAK12 project by Airsoft Innovations. The FLAK12 turned out to be vaporware, but the G&G ESG B-10 is fully functional and should hit retailers soon!
This AR AEG magazine-compatible bullpup shotgun shoots in semi-automatic with the option for 5 or 10 BBs per trigger pull; this is a shotgun you don't want to be on the receiving end of! The upper receiver is made from CNC aluminium and the lower is high density polymer, complete with ambidextrous controls and QD sling sockets on each side.
The ESG B-10 is gas-powered, using a non-blowback style mechanism for repeat fire with an internal gas reservoir holding enough gas for approximately 100 shots. Given the speed at which this beast shoots and the realistic shotgun-style spread, this could be the most OP Airsoft platform since the WELL PRO WE23S Minigun!
Action Sport Games (ASG) Booth
Scorpion EVO A.C.E (Anniversary Celebration Edition)
Rocking a brand new ATEK extended magazine release allowing for easier speed reloads, a new ATEK Hi-Cap Magwell and a new version of the ATEK M-LOK Handguard, the EVO A.C.E is the CZ Scorpion EVO AEG in its ultimate form.
Supplied with a pre-installed ASG Milspec M105 spring, this EVO is reportedly 11.1V LiPo ready, meaning a quicker trigger response and higher rate of fire than the already impressive 2020 Revision EVO 3A1. ASG also added its super speedy 30K CNC High-speed motor to the A.C.E spec list along with a flat dark earth lower receiver, so onlookers know you got the A.C.E version!
FLCN 5.56 AEG
ASG made its name in advanced AEG tech thanks to the ASG Scorpion EVO 3A1, released over 10 years ago. Ready to carry the torch and keep ASG at the cutting edge, the FLCN 5.56 AEG is ASG's latest offering. With externals akin to the legendary Magpul Masada, a programmable MOSFET and impressive ASG build quality, the FLCN 5.56 is an exciting new platform and perfect for those who are sick of M4s!
Externally, the FLCN 5.56 looks absolutely mint, with ambidextrous controls, M-LOK and all the bells and whistles. We don't have many details about the internals of the FLCN 5.56 yet but we are reliably informed it will have some unique and advanced features exclusive to ASG. Sounds exciting! We can't wait to find out more!
H22 STC GBB
The H22 GBB is the first gas platform from the ASG Hybrid range. Based on the KC-02 platform with a gorgeous new stock from HERA Arms and internal compatibility with Rougeworx KC02 upgrades, the H22 STC is ideal for an agile skirmisher who appreciates cutting-edge ergonomics.
The KC-02 Special Teams Carbine is already well known as a fantastic GBB DMR platform and with a new TDC HOP-up unit, removable cheek riser and adjustable length of pull, this is set to be one of the lightest and most manoeuvrable DMRs out there.
WELL PRO Booth
WE23 Minigun Variants
The WELL PRO Minigun series was one of the most impressive releases of 2023, shredding the competition with its light and economical build and incredible 36 rounds per second. New variants are inbound, including an arm-mounted model and an emplaced model with spade grips, ideal for Airsoft technicals or as a static turret for objective-based play.
Minigun Tracer Unit
As if an Airsoft minigun wasn't badass enough, WELL PRO has developed a tracer unit specifically for its 5-barreled beast. Not only does this unit provide tracer and muzzle flash functionality but also looks fantastic, a close match for real steel minigun flash hiders. Handheld miniguns may not be the most realistic primary platform choice, but it is always nice to see Airsoft manufacturers emphasising plausibility, even in mould-breaking platforms like the WELL PRO minigun!
Red Wolf Booth
Over at the RedWolf booth, we were met with quite a sight! Known as "ARC" Speedsoft Rifles, these paintball gun like platforms use a fully mechanical HPA engine, feed from M4 AEG magazines and are constructed entirely from CNC machined aircraft grade aluminium. Whether you like the speedy-boi look or not, you have to admit that these are stunning pieces!
These ARC rifles are extremely minimalist, with skeletonised receivers, no stock and practically no handguard, leaning heavily into the Speedsoft aesthetic. The extended magazine well improves reload speed, and the ambi-mag release means even left-handed Speedybois can reload intuitively.
The trigger of the ARC uses a magnetic face system, offering incredible speed and an adjustable high-pressure regulator located inside the grip with an integral tournament lock. RWA informs us that the ARC is compatible with MAXX Model CNC HOP-up units, meaning AEG HOP-up buckings, tightbore inner barrels and other M4/AR-15 style HOP-up units should also work; perfect for performance seekers!
There was plenty more going on at the 50th Anniversary of IWA Outdoor Classics but to see that you will have to wait for part 2! In the meantime, why not check out our new products?
