From ASCUK:
“It seems the latest crackdown on airsoft manufacturers has possibly closed the door on the clones. The only info availible at the moment is that the boss of A&K has been imprisioned and may face the death penalty, Cyma/Boyi and DE are being watched, AGM have shut down indefinatly and JG never restarted after the last crackdown.”
and:
“We have heard, whilst in China, that the head of AGM has been sentenced to 10 years (15 according to a different source) for being in possession of 30,00 replica firearms. Supposedly the heads/owners of other factories are in hiding.
What we know for sure is that all the factories are shut and that no-one can give us a restart date. Don’t expect anything from AGM for a very long time, the others? We simply don’t know.
As ever, the rumour mill will go into overdrive, but in a year where the ACM factories have been raided several times, this would appear to be the the most concerted & draconian action take to date.”
Thought I’d best keep y’all informed. there is a thread on ASCUK and no doubt other Forums too, I guess as Frenchie says we’ll have to wait and see what the full impact will be.
