BRINGING OUT THE BIG GUNS
Airsoft Action|July 2021
HAVING A MAN ON THE GROUND IN TAIWAN, AIRSOFT ACTION IS ABLE TO BRING YOU REPORTS FROM COMPANIES THAT MAY OTHERWISE GO UNNOTICED INTERNATIONALLY. PENGHU ARMS FACTORY IS ONE SUCH COMPANY AND HAVING DISCOVERED THEM, STEWBACCA SOON MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE COMPANY – AND THE STUNNING AIRSOFT REPLICAS THEY PRODUCE!
BRINGING OUT THE BIG GUNS

PengHu is Taiwan’s western county of islands in the Taiwan Strait off the coast of the main island’s southerly city of Tainan and is akin to the Florida Keys, with raised highways and bridges interconnecting the major islands of the small low-lying Archipelago that represents part of Taiwan’s first line of defense in this somewhat tumultuous waterway - both in terms of actual local weather and the tense politics of the region.

Undoubtedly, like most others, the only time I’d ever heard of it before I came to Taiwan was in the movie “Spy Game”, where the islands are mentioned as the staging area for a US fleet which is eventually used to mount an incursion into nearby Southeast China to effect a rescue of the main protagonist. Other than that, I hadn’t much prior knowledge of the area.

Likewise, I hadn’t heard of “3D Military Movie Props Ltd.” beforehand either. I first encountered its proprietor, Well Hsu, shortly after I arrived in Taiwan and attended the Hooha shows (organised by local magazine Combat King Monthly) where I happened upon his booth. He was exhibiting his early prototypes of their Browning M2HB HPA powered airsoft heavy machine guns, as well as an air-powered mortar system that was comically launching foam projectiles across the exhibition hall at intervals.
