Action Army Pistol AAP-01 FDE, Gas
The AAP-01 Assassin is the first gas blowback airsoft pistol from Action Army Company. Renowned in the airsoft community for its upgrade parts, Action Army has expanded its product line into the gas blowback pistol market. Powered by green gas, the AAP-01 is capable of both semi-auto and full-auto firing modes by flipping the fire selector on the underside of the bolt carrier. All of the controls such as the magazine catch, safety, and slide catch are either ambidextrous or reversible, making the pistol friendly for right-handed or left-handed users. Included with the pistol are two optional accessory rails for above the receiver and below the barrel for installing sights or lights/lasers if desired. The barrel is 14mm CCW threaded underneath the orange thread protector, making it compatible with most airsoft muzzle devices and accessories.
The airsoft company ASG began in 1998 when the partnership of Johnny Pedersen and Henrik Grobelnik began to distribute airsoft equipment in Europe and soon began to acquire many of the licenses that make ASG the household name it is today. In the early 2000s Johnny and Henrik worked closely with many great names in ‘real steel’ shooting to acquire early licenses with notable firms such as Armalite and Cobray. As well as exclusive license deals, ASG have fostered strong links with major brands such as Mechanix, ICS, Classic Army and Mad Bull by acting as distributors for these premium products in many areas.
Over the years over thirty exclusive licensing deals were struck with companies such as BSA, CZ, B&T and Accuracy International to name a few but ASG was still wholly based in the Scandinavian countries despite trading worldwide. All of this would change in 2012 when ActionSportGames became truly multinational, opening our USA and French offices (including US warehouse facilities). Shortly afterward, massive demand for ASG products in the UK required Johnny and Henrik to expand their team further to include a dedicated ‘United Kingdom & Ireland’ sales office based in Nottingham, England.
Without a doubt, at ASG we are well known for our high-quality range of Precision BBs. ActionSportGames currently have several ranges of BBs from our Q Blaster through to our Devil Blaster with everything in between including illuminated Tracer Blaster and our environmentally friendly Open Blaster -but it was not always so. In the early days of ASG the company launched the BLASTER BB, a product that would soon become a firm favorite with airsoft fans across the globe. Unhappy with the standards of BBs available on the airsoft market at the time, Johnny and Henrik used their engineering expertise to develop the perfect airsoft BB and created special selection processes to ensure only the finest BBs from each batch were used, This selection process continues to this day to ensure that ASG BBs are the best 6mm BBs available.
A major milestone for ActionSportGames was the production of the fully licensed CZ EVO SMG as an airsoft replica in 2014. For the first time, a European company had designed, produced, marketed, and sold a highly successful mass-produced Airsoft Electric Gun. Today this ‘Made in Denmark’ AEG is a modern-day classic, beloved of airsoft skirmishers and model gun collectors worldwide, and is the recipient of multiple gold awards from the airsoft industry.
