It’s nearly time for ISSUE 173 to go live, but we thought we’d kick off the week with something that we love, a proper “old skooler” in the form of the ARES THOMPSON “CHICAGO”!
Now we know that this isn’t a new AEG, but it’s one that we have always truly desired, an iconic SMG that takes us way, way back and into an area of airsoft that is woefully neglected in our opinion… c’mon, who doesn’t want to channel that original “Untouchables” or “Peaky Blinders” vibe?
There’s enough airsoft replicas out there in the form of revolvers, classic 1911’s, shotguns, period “western” rifles, and SMGs to create enough of an armoury for wannabe “bootleggers” or “G-men”, and what a sight it would be to see a bunch of committed players duking it out all suited and booted!
Just an idea to start another week, but if there are any game runners out there who host such an event then please shout out, as we’d be delighted to cover it in AIRSOFT ACTION!
But what do you get with the ARES THOMPSON “CHICAGO”?
- Italian Made Solid Walnut Hard Wood Stock/Grip/Hand Guard
- Full Metal Upper & Lower Receiver
- Highly Realistic Detail
- Reinforced Metal Gearbox
- Full Steel Gear Set
- EBB – Electric Blowback Action
- Quick Release Butt Stock
And you also get a whopping 1000 BB drum magazine to sweeten the deal… what’s not to love?
It’s been a while since we had our hands on such sweetness from the past, so perhaps when we pay a visit to our mates at iWholesales later this month we’ll see if we can’t lay hands on one to see how it fares against all the “modern AEGs” out there…
As Sean Connery said in his awesome portrayal of “Jim Malone” in “The Untouchables”…
“They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That’s the Chicago way!”
