In airsoft you generally get what you pay for but our Airsoft GI G4 series is one example where you can get quality at an affordable price. We assemble them using a receiver, gearbox, motor, stock, and grip OEM by G&G. G&G has been a high end airsoft gun manufacturer for at least as far back as when I started getting serious about airsoft. The remaining parts such as the stock, sights, barrel, etc. we get from a wide range of suppliers but normally they are only available aftermarket. And, all those parts the customer gets at a savings.

For example, take the new Airsoft GI G4-A1 9″ TRX MID Airsoft Gun which goes for $235. A Combat Machine Blow Back M16 Carbine Airsoft Gun ($170) uses the same gearbox, receiver, and motor. If you were to upgrade that model with a Mad Bull Troy TRX Battle Rail 9″ ($120) you would already be at $335 with an estimated $45 labor cost for installation. You are already saving $100 without taking into account the crane stock, battle grip, and receiver end plate sling adapter. That is the primary advantage of our G4 series, the savings. You also get an airsoft gun assembled and quality control tested here in the United States.

On the topic of the new Airsoft GI G4-A1 9″ TRX MID Airsoft Gun we have several new G4 models that use the Mad Bull Troy TRX and VTAC Battle Rails. (All licensed and trademarked by the way.) The advantage of these “rails” being that you have the stability of a free floating hand guard without the drawbacks of a fully “railed” hand guard. You can place rail segments along the hand guard where they are needed leaving the remainder of the hand guard clear for the placement of your hands. Your hands do not have to be on bare rails and no need for rail covers. Also, I do not mind the weight savings if only marginally.

Not a day goes by without me speaking to a potential customer that is looking to purchase an airsoft gun in the $200-$250 price range. Now there are some manufacturers that have managed to produce some models that fit that range but their features are limited. You cannot find an airsoft gun with all the same features and price as out G4 series models.

For those that do not already know me this is my introduction to the Airsoft G.I. community. Many people know me best by my nickname, Phantom (which is admittedly cooler than some nicknames I have had in the past). I work at Airsoft G.I. in the sales department but have been with Airsoft G.I. almost all the way back to the beginning. Before working here I played airsoft for several years so my experience is pretty extensive.

Over the years my collection of airsoft guns has undergone a lot of changes but the core components have stabilized to include a custom built MK12 MOD0 SPR that acts as my DMR, an upgraded G&G GR-16 for general field play, an upgraded TM M733 for CQB, and as a write this I realize that is just a fraction of what I have. A good way to put it is I have backups for my backups. Although I mostly play at mil-sim games we sponsor these days I started off back in that day playing CQB in places like J&T Military Surplus and Zipper Factory.

My extensive collection of airsoft guns should not lead you to believe airsoft is my only interest. I have a range of hobbies including hiking, fishing, knives, radios, etc. However, the largest time consumer and consumer of money is firearms. Since I have always had an interest in firearms (also what lead me to airsoft) I inevitably started collecting firearms and have become involved in various shooting sports including trap, skeet, and practical / defensive shooting. Whenever time and money allow you will probably find me at the shooting range.

Through the course of my involvement in shooting and airsoft I have acquired what I admit is probably an excessive amount of tactical gear and equipment. For that reason I consider myself a gear collector (or if you prefer one of the more derogatory terms, gear whore). My collection began small, as such things do, with a Condor / OE Tech Crossdraw Vest. My collection rapidly evolved to include different rigs from a range of high end manufactures including Eagle Industries, BHI, Specter, Safariland, HSGI, etc., etc.

Anyway, long story short (too late), I will periodically be bringing you the comings and the goings; the latest and the greatest here at Airsoft G.I. from my perspective.

Best Regards,

Phantom
