Winter Blowback
Airsoft Action|February 2018

With winter upon us and temperatures dropping, its back to plastic bodied gas blowback pistols... Or is it? Georaga takes a look at g&g’s latest venture into GBBS with the gpm92 to see if their new gas innovations make this pistol a viable winter wonder!

Winter Blowback

I’M A HITMAN! Okay, not really!!

Now, the M9…

As a gun, I bloody ADORE the M9! It was the first real steel firearm I shot at a range over in the States (a Taurus M9 in chrome …oooh! Shiny!) and after several years and a variety of different pistols, the M9 is still one of the most comfortable I’ve experienced shooting.

Anyway, back to airsoft….

Imagine it’s 2008. Its 11.55pm on October the 30th and it’s my birthday at midnight... I’m 17... Can you see where this is going? The clock counts down... tick... tock... tick... tock... 3... 2... 1... NOW!

Basket full and card details already filled out, I dropped all my summer’s savings on my first airsoft haul. As an excited, about to be 18 year old, the selection on the market at the time was much smaller and the prevalence of cheap Chinaclones was definitely the most appealing way into the hobby; so I bought a JG M4 S-System, a JG M4A1 Carbine and my first (transparent) M9 by, I think, KWC (now trading under Black Viper).

After a while I transitioned over to the Socom Gear M9A1 SOC, which came with a Gemtech Trident suppressor that made it look like it came straight out of the game Hitman 2 – Silent Assassin (the “9mm SD” for those old-school gamers like me). As a filmmaker on YouTube and thanks to its “Hitman” looks, it starred in a tonne of action videos across the YouTube film network I belong to, including my silly video “How To Be A Hitman”. However, as time went on and I actually played more and more, the lack of hop on that pistol started becoming an issue. It was time to sell it on to a new owner and keep an eye out for that next M9.
