It’s 2026 and it’s the first issue of AIRSOFT ACTION for the new year, and as always we have SO MUCH to tell you about and share with you from the big wide world of airsoft!

Although the focus from many manufacturers for the coming year appears to be heading down the GBBR path, there’s still a bunch of absolutely brilliant AEGs out there, and of course the AEG is where things properly kicked off!

With this in mind Bill gets under the hood of the latest CYMA AR with an integrated tracer unit, and then takes a look at “going long” with a brilliant AR-compatible B&T “APC556” from Double Eagle. Bruno continues the “range theme”, getting BBs downrange with the Silverback TAC-41, whilst Boycie moves on with Part III of “Project Stacatto”.

We wrap things up in “The Armoury” as the team give their thoughts on what they found to be the “Best Rifle of 2025”, and Bill takes a look at just how Angry Gun have moved into new territory with their L403A1 MWS and Knights Armament conversion kits!

Dan returns to tell us about his long-term testing of the Altama “OTB” boots before we launch on into our usual international event coverage, this month with Matt reporting in on the AMS “EASTERN FRONT” MilSim in the USA, Stu goes “over the beach” again at POLK 4 in Taiwan, before Miguel tells us all about the latest EXPO AIRSOFT in Portugal!

Once again there’s a little of “everything 6mm” in the first issue of the year, and we hope that it will help get you properly in the mood for your own airsoft adventures to come in 2026!
