KWA Performance Industries was one of the big players at the 2012 SHOT Show, both in airsoft and in tactical training products. With KWA, they're one and the same. Instead of seeing airsoft as only a hobby that can be adapted for some training purposes, KWA USA has designed and produced airsoft replicas specifically for the professional training market. This means that almost every feature needed for real-world practice by tactical trainers or LE is present in their PTR line, in addition to KWA's phenomenal reliability. KWA training products are also ideal for players who hold their equipment to the highest standards. This started with KWA's PTP, or Professional Training Pistol, line, and continues this year with the gas blowback rifles in the PTR, or Professional Training Rifle, series. Read on to find out what products KWA is releasing this year, and which product features will fit your needs, whether professional or personal.

Along with all the licensed products covered in our Knight's Armament article, Classic Army also had a few of their own items on display at the 2012 SHOT Show. The first one we're likely to actually have in stores is the CA Krebs Custom Enhanced Speed Load AK47. This is a licensed replica of the modified Kalashnikov platform rifles sold by Krebs Custom Inc. If you took an AK and fixed everything that an modern rifle shooter disliked, you would have the KCI Enhanced Speed Load AK47.

The Magpul PTS PDR has been one of the most anticipated airsoft projects since it was revealed in early development at the 2011 SHOT Show. At that time, it was only a shell with a magazine, but people were captivated by the design and the idea of a compact PDW type rifle that could take STANAG magazines. This year, at SHOT Show 2012, we got to check out the completed AEG. Read on to see why the PDR may be one of the best designs we've seen for a bullpup or PDW weapon.

We blogged about the upcoming HK416 and HK417 series rifles a few posts back, but we got a chance to hold the first AEG models at the 2012 SHOT Show. Umarex will be distributing these with full licensing in the US, and it sounds like they will come with a 1 year warranty. While we don't have solid information on pricing or velocity yet, Umarex USA has informed us that these could arrive within 60 days. Since the HK416 is in use by many US Special Forces, these will certainly be in demand for US Special Forces or SEALs replica loadouts. Pricing is expected to be upwards of $400, but is not set yet.
