GBB | EMG x TTI 2011 JW4 SAND VIPER GBBP!

Hi Friends!

Welcome back to the blog. In this one we're going to take a look at The EMG TTI Sand Viper GBB Airsoft Pistol straight out of the box from HC2 Airsoft!

The EMG TTI Sand Viper GBB Airsoft Pistol is a dream for "John Wick 4" fans. It's a fully licensed replica that captures the essence of the movie's pistol. Whilst it looks great, this pistol is really built for speed and competition shooting, with its oversized controls for quick action and an ambidextrous safety for control.

It boasts an alloy construction, featuring a full metal slide with serrations and vents and a polymer faux stippled none-slip grip. The grip is on point, thanks to the stippling that keeps it feeling "sticky" in any condition - with or without gloves, allowing the user to retain full control whilst shooting. Although it doesn't come with iron sights, it is RMR cut and comes with an RMR plate in the box so it's optic ready. Keep in mind, though, you'll need to grab an RMR-style red dot sight to aim this bad boy.

Features:

• Fully Licensed Product by EMG with TTI Logos and Markings
• Faux Stippled None-slip Grip
• RMR Cut with RMR Plate
• Side Optics Mount Ready
• Extended Magazine

Range test: As this is a GBBP, the FPS will depend on gas used/temperature it's being used in so this can vary. Manufacturers tests say that it is around 250-300FPS. 

I tried the Sand Viper without an optic, and with no Iron sights, that did make it a little difficult to aim so if you're looking at getting these, make sure you have an optic in mind (it also looks a little ugly without anything). That being said, this pistol is really a dream to shoot - all the actions are smooth and the controls are easy to use thanks to their oversized nature. After a little fiddle with the hop-up it was accurate. 

In the box, you get the EMG x TTI Sand Viper GBB Airsoft Pistol (by AW Custom), a 30 Round Gas Magazine and an RMR Plate. From HC2 Airsoft, it retails for £260. To sum it up, the EMG x TTI Sand Viper GBB Airsoft Pistol isn't just a collector's item; it's a high-performing, functional replica that looks great and definitely brings the John Wick vibes to your airsoft game.

AEG | DELTA ARMORY AR15 SILENT OPS 8"!

Hey friends! 

Welcome back to the blog! I recently had the opportunity to put the Delta Armory AR15 Silent Ops 8" Bravo through its paces, and after using it for a game or two, I’m ready to give my opinion on this budget-friendly AEG. 

The BRAVO series of AEGs from Delta Armory promise high-quality internals at a budget-friendly price point but does it deliver? This series of AEGs aims to strike an excellent balance between metal and polymer construction. Key components such as the handguard, sling swivel, CNC type A trigger, and outer barrel are all constructed from sturdy metal, providing the rifle with a solid feel. The remaining parts are crafted from impact-resistant polymer, ensuring a lightweight build without sacrificing durability. 

Externally, at the front of the rifle, we have a mock suppressor that has been mounted on a 14mm CCW thread (meaning it can be removed to add a tracer unit or a longer aftermarket suppressor), this is recessed into the 8” tan handguard that has picatinny rails on all four sides. This gives the user plenty of attachment points for forgeries, PEQ boxes etc. It has a 22mm RIS rail that spans the length of the rail system and receiver. This rail offers the perfect mount for any optics. Next we have a Delta Armory branded receiver with an ergonomic pistol grip and at the back of the rifle there is a 6 point adjustable stock that is customisable to the shooter.

Internally, the Delta Armory AR15 Silent Ops 8” boasts a lot of great features including a reinforced V2 gearbox with steel gears and 7mm bearings, designed to withstand the stress of M120 to M130 springs for an extended period. An SHS Piston with 14 metal teeth and an SHS Tappet Plate also make an appearance alongside a 6.03mm precision barrel. Another noteworthy feature is the QRS AEG engine and a quick change spring, ensuring easy maintenance and upgrades as you evolve as a player. The inclusion of a Hop-Up rotation chamber allows for fine tuning of shots.

A Delta Armory branded box smartly presents the AR15 Silent Ops 8” with a combination of black and red accents. Upon unboxing, you immediately notice how lightweight the AEG is, there’s no rattling or instability exhibiting great build quality. It is a standard size M4 so it would be perfect for all airsoft environments including CQB. I’m not a fan of tan anything really, but in certain lights this half tan, half black replica is closer to DFE (Dark Flat Earth) than tan. Aesthetically, I like the recessed suppressor.

So, how does it shoot? It was consistent on both semi and full-auto. I tested it using an 7.4v Lipo as I was a little cautious as it doesn’t have a built-in MOSFET, and it was consistent/had no feed issues but it didn’t sound great and it a slow rate of fire however when it was tested in the field, I used an 11.1v Lipo and that rate of fire/sound was much improved. When it was put through chrono, it was achieving 335 FPS on 0.20g BBs which is perfect for any site in the UK.

In the box, you get the Delta Armory AR15 Silent Ops 8 inch Bravo AEG, a Hi-Cap magazine with a capacity of 300 BBs, flip-up iron sights, and a silencer to complete the tactical look of your rifle. As for cost, it retails for £209.95 from Airsoft Direct, I think this is a great price point for what you get.

AEG | DELTA ARMORY AR15 MK18 ALPHA!

Hi friends! 

Welcome back to the blog! Today, I have another AEG review for you, and in this one we’ll be looking at the Delta Armory AR15 MK18 ALPHA! 

The Delta Armory AR15 MK18 ALPHA is a part of the latest generation of AR15 replicas from Delta Armory. As a part of the ALPHA series, this replica, like the others in the series, is defined by its robust alloy construction. It features a full metal body, including the hand-guard, body, trigger, stock tube, outer barrel, flash hider and other external parts. This construction helps give it a solid and realistic feel. 

Externally, at the front of the rifle we have a bird cage flash hider mounted on a CCW thread, a full-metal classic MK18 one piece Daniel Defense style RIS handguard which features 22 mm RIS rails allowing users to attach various accessories such as foregrips and PEQ boxes, expanding customisation options to suit individual preferences. There is a set of iron-sights included in the box that can be mounted on the top RIS rail. Following on we have the Delta Armory branded metal receiver with its own unique serial number. The AR15 MK18 features a CNC Type A trigger which is a stand out feature - offering the shooter a superior trigger response, a stippled pistol grip to enhance grip in wet and cold environments and at the back of the rifle we have the ALPHA series stock which houses the battery and is adjustable. 

The internal components of the Delta Armory ALPHA series include a SHS Piston with full metal teeth, SHS delayer chip, quick-change spring system (QRS gen. 2), spring guide with bearing, QRS motor quick change, rotary hop-up chamber, reinforced gearbox for 120-130 springs, 6.03mm inner barrel, high-quality 8 mm ball bearings, durable metal gears, and SHS feeder lever. 

The Delta Armory branded box smartly presents the AR15 MK18 with a combination of black and red accents (y’all know I’m a hoe for good packaging). Upon unboxing, you immediately notice the satisfying weight due to its solid metal construction, exhibiting great build quality without any rattling or instability. It looks like a classic MK18, which is a firm favourite amongst airsofters. It is a standard size M4 so it would be perfect for all airsoft environments including CQB. 

So, how does it shoot? It was consistent on both semi and full-auto. I’ve never used a Delta Armory replica so I wasn’t sure what to expect but I certainly wasn’t disappointed. I tested it using an 11.1v but was a little cautious as it doesn’t have a built-in MOSFET, but it was consistent, had no feed issues and also sounded great. When it was put through chrono, it was achieving 337 FPS on 0.20g BBs which is perfect for any site in the UK. 

In the box, you get the Delta Armory AR15 MK18 AEG, an unjamming rod, a mid-cap Delta Armory branded magazine and the all-important manual. In the UK it retails for around £264.95.
