Some of the AA Crew are still decompressing from IWA, but as always there’s a deadline to hit!

We’re pleased to tell you though at the start of a new office week here at AAHQ that ISSUE 172 is all ready to go, so in a few days we’ll be starting to upload this to our publishing-platform-partners ready for MARCH 15… and what an absolute whopper of an issue it’s going to be, with what is probably our biggest report on IWA ever!

Of course that doesn’t mean that we’ll be scrimping on all our usual reviews and articles, and just one of the things we’ll be looking at in detail for you is the all-new range of DELTA PIONEER AR AEGs from our old mates at NUPROL!

Bill tells us that “NUPROL are certainly no strangers to creating well-researched AEGs that offer great performance at a sensible price, and I’ve been running one of the old NUPROL AEGs for some considerable time now.

But after biting my tongue for many months I can finally talk about the great new range of DELTA PIONEER AR AEGs from NUPROL following their launch at IWA 2025! With some real performance at a seriously tempting price, can NUPROL regain their place in this highly competitive market after having been meaningfully away for some time in respect of new AEG models?

I believe yes, and these new AEGs are designed to offer both new and experienced players a choice of highly functional platforms. Crafted from high-density polymer (HDP), the frames and rails provide a lightweight yet durable design, perfect for both beginners and seasoned veteran players; with seven variants available there’s something for everyone, ensuring you can find the perfect aesthetic to match your style. Each model features a power of 1.0 joule/330 FPS, making them well within UK-legal, site and safety limits.

And I’ve come away from IWA and my first proper look at the latest NUPROL AEGs feeling massively impressed again! I’m going to stick my neck out and say I believe that they’ve created a superb new range that will make a lot of airsofters very happy indeed. They look great, feel great, and thus far I can tell you that out of the box they should perform pretty darn well too; I have earmarked a new NOMAD 10 (pictured) to take out to the woods range and I am certain it will run like a train!”

So, watch this space for an update once Bill and the team have had a chance to put the NOMAD 10 through its paces, and we’ll bring you our usual full review in due course… these cracking new AEGs are already winging their way to your favourite friendly local airsoft store, and we’d thoroughly recommend that you try one for yourself when you get the chance!
