"Toy-Tec Airsoft Calico M100: Classic and Complicated DISCLAIMER: THIS IS AN AIRSOFT TOY. No firearms are present in the video. An overview of a classic piece of airsoft history Toy-Tec's Calico M100 pistol. This is an externally-powered (originally refrigerant gas but nowadays more easily CO2 or HPA) mostly-plastic replica with an exceptionally complex fire control mechanism but surprisingly sophisticated capabilities for a 1980s airsoft gun. (If you're confused by the format check the date) A Japanese review of the 'Super Calico' variant can be found here:"

"Arrow Dynamic Airsoft M202A1 FLASH Review: Command'oh DISCLAIMER: THIS IS AN AIRSOFT TOY. No firearms are present in the video. Occasionally we get ahold of a piece of hardware so weird that despite knowing full well that almost no one watching will end up buying one we just have to review it. The Arrow Dynamic M202A1 FLASH definitely checks that box and might be the weirdest 40mm launcher we've handled.
