While researching for my other article about the situation regarding legal changes to the Taiwanese firearms legislation and its previous perceived impact upon airsoft (which, hopefully, should no longer be a concern), I visited Northeast Airsoft, one of the newest additions to the plethora of manufacturers in Taiwan. While I was there we also discussed their company’s beginnings, current and future products and philosophy behind their work.
Stephen Kuo has been working in the airsoft industry for quite some time, previously representing the Taiwan based arm of the design and manufacturing department of another well-known Hong Kong boutique and custom gas gun manufacturer, with experience in design and management with regards to machined components for airsoft guns. Following his national service in the air force, he re-entered the airsoft scene with a fresh idea to put his previous skills and experience to work. At one of the airsoft shows he attended, he began canvassing for opinions regarding the viability for producing a gas blowback version of the STEN gun. Already produced by other companies in AEG format in the past, the classic British submachine gun holds a place in the hearts of many reenactors and collectors.
