C’mon, if you’re an airsofter EVERY DAY is a GUNDAY!
Yup, we’re back in the office at AAHQ and we’re kicking off the week with some news on the latest AR-inspired AEG from ActionSportGames (ASG) that we were lucky enough to get our hands on at IWA!
ASG tell us of their new ASG HYBRID SERIES H-15 B.E.T. ;
“The first in our one-of-a-kind Hybrid series, the H-15 AEG BET rifle brings the Scorpion EVO’s legendary performance to one of the most popular platforms in airsoft. Using the same tried and tested internals in a new aggressive assault rifle body creates a unique high-performance rifle.
This version of the H-15 BET comes with an M85 spring already installed. This spring lowers the power of the airsoft rifle to conform to the safety standards of certain regions. An M120 spring is included in the box.
This rifle combines metal and polymer components the same way a real assault rifle does. The collapsible buttstock, magazine and pistol-grip of this rifle are crafted from high-strength polymer while all other components, from its chassis to its barrel, trigger and rail are comprised of durable metal. Taking a closer look at these components, it features an array of high-end pieces including a HERA ARMS CCS buttstock, PTS EPG-C pistol grip and a Retro Arms trigger. Additionally, this exceptional rifle features our own ASG custom M-Rail handguard allowing the user to attach accessories to make it their own. Also included in the box is a midcap magazine with a capacity of 180 rounds.
Inside, it comes with all the great internals of the EVO with some amazing parts of its own. This includes an electronic trigger unit with integrated Mosfet, which allows the user to program the replica’s firing modes. This airsoft rifle has four distinct modes: safe, single fire, burst fire and full auto. The ECU also provides cycle detection with smart, self-adjusting Active Break and pre-cocking. It also includes a quick-change spring guide, accessible through the buffertube, a rotary hop-up unit and a T-plug battery connector. These components deliver the tried, tested and beloved performance of the EVO with the stunning new body of an AR, thereby putting the Hybrid in H-15.
With this specific version of the H-15, it comes with a pre-installed full length integral B.E.T. which provides a unique aesthetic flare to this already stylish airsoft rifle. The wider handguard allows the attachment of accessories even with the integral B.E.T. installed.
We are proud to provide the airsoft community with this new AEG which delivers fantastic performance in a stellar new body and announce the start of our new Hybrid series!”
Now THAT’S a lot of goodness all wrapped up in one sweet AR-shaped package, and it’s great to see ASG back in the carbine-world after spending so long on the EVO… we sincerely hope that this is the start of a whole new line for them, and we’ll be watching closely for more news on this if and when it appears!
All we know is that we’d very much like to get our hands on one of these for testing, so we’ll be speaking nicely to the bois at ASG UK to see if we can make this happen soon… we’ll be diving into ALL the new things we saw from ASG at IWA in ISSUE 174, so as always, watch this space!
