Today we will be doing a performance comparison of the three most available SIG P226 airsoft pistols on the market. The KWA M226 PTP, the KJW SIG P226, and the WE F226. The price points are all pretty similar on these pistols, with the KWA coming in at $170.00, the KJW at $150.00, and the WE at $140.00. Looking at the outside, they are all good looking pistols. The KWA has a nice flat finish with KWA PTP engraved markings, features a metal frame, and has a lightweight aluminum slide. The KJW has a shiny but durable paint finish, a metal frame, metal slide, and fully licensed SIG SAUER trademarks. The WE has a nice flat two-tone finish, metal frame, metal slide, and on the grip of the pistol it bears the markings F226 and Seal Team Six. Now its time to see which gun gives you the most bang for your buck; Literally!

We have a handful of new products posted online. Magpul PTS has finally come out with the Precision Rifle Stock, or PRS, for AEGs. This stock is durable and extremely cool. A must have for any AR10 or SR25 owner.

Read on to see some of the highlights, and check out all the new products on our website at Airsoft Outlet NW

Today we are going to take an in depth look at the Echo1 MTC-1, Echo1's latest offering in the 'Not An M4' Lineup. The first thing I notice is that the MTC looks fantastic. It has a nice matte textured finish on the polymer externals. The rail system, the entire top rail, and the buffer tube are made from machined aluminum, and are anodized black rather than the typical Chinese low quality paint. The top rail has built in fixed iron sights, and the airsoft rifle features steel locking receiver pins. The crane stock has rubberized cheek rests, and a nice aggressive texture on the stock plate to avoid slipping on your shoulder. It takes M4 magazines right out of the box, no adapter needed. M4 magazines fit and fed well too.

After taking it to the range for some test firing and chronograph, here are the performance results

Today we are going to take a closer look at the long awaited HK 416 CQB from Umarex. First, I can confirm that these are actually manufactured for UMAREX by VFC. The externals are what I have come to expect from VFC: solidly built, accurate to the original, and an excellent finish. Of course there are licensed trademarks and they look great. With the exception of the “warning this is not a toy” marking, they are perfect. Unlike many past 416 clones this has a true 416 upper, lower, RIS, sights, magazine, and pistol grip. The pistol grip and front sight are the older style, but are quality parts. The stock, however, is a standard M4 crane stock, not the HK variant. I personally prefer this stock due to the ease of getting a battery in it, but I hear they will release a version in the future with the authentic HK stock along with an updated pistol grip for those that must have it.

Next, we took the rifle to the range to get a feel for how it performs. Umarex claims it shoots 335fps /w a .20g BB. Our chrono results were 359 FPS +/- 3 FPS with a .20g BB. This is very consistent for a stock gun, and for those that want to play outside the higher than advertised FPS is a good bonus. For those wanting to use it in CQB, sadly you will have to respring the gun. With the hopup adjusted for .20g BB's the HK 416 CQB was hitting a man sized target out to 150 feet, and a paper plate sized target out to about 100 feet. That's a pretty respectable showing for a short barreled rifle. The rifle was tested with a 1300mah LiPo in both 11.1v and 7.4v. The HK 416 CQB operated flawlessly with both batteries and fired 18 RPS, and 13 RPS respectively. Fair warning, though: while the gun is LiPo ready, UMAREX does not warranty the use of 11.1v LiPo packs, so use them at your own risk.

Now for my favorite part, lets see whats under the hood!
