Airsoft Battle Zone has announced a new line of specialty airsoft reproductions for ww11 reenactors and collectors manufactured by SGS Custom Airsoft. Their mosin nagant airsoft gun reproduction is a nice addition to the ww11 sniper style weapons but the new PPSH41 AEG is what caught my attention. Gryphon from SGS was kind enough to stop by and let me fondle one of these early Russian LMG's and I must say I was impressed. The solid maple stock with large size AEG battery compartment is a beautiful touch and assures many battle scar memories will be etched in its oiled sweetness forever. The standardized version 7 mechbox installed in this beauty produces a ROF of approx 900 bb's per minute at 310-330 FPS which is right on par with the real steel versions of the ppsh41 still in use today. The 200 round high capacity style magazine, features a top fill port and bottom winder. The Hop up is adjustable from outside of the gun with no tools needed, making for simple field wind and elevation corrections. I was amazed at the nice hefty weight (7 lbs) and balance of the front of this AEG. The fiberglass reinforced cold cast aluminum receiver barrel shroud and magazine housing is material that is much stronger than the zinc alloy monkey metals in use by many airsoft gun manufacturers today. One more thing and its a biggy...SGS custom airsoft is located in the USA so parts and service are very reliable and only a phone call away. All in All I would have to say the Germans had best beware at airsoft games this year, I think the gamers will learn what a Regiment of Russians armed with papashas can do.
