Thermals don't jeopardize people's safety either, but another criteria that should keep it banned from night milsim events is that thermals give an unfair advantage to the user. Good news is that the Flak10 does neither give an unfair advantage nor jeopardize the safety of players.
@@TFBadBush Even if I did have money for it, I wouldn't buy it and use it on the field because that is like an X-Ray Wall hack in FPS games, thus make the game too trivial for me enjoy it and ruin the fun for other players.

Most pyro can damage hearing, yet most sites don't even issue a warning to wear hearing protection and allow children in. I'm not a huge fan of guns that fire more than 3 high power shots at once, basically overshooting with every trigger pull. This doesn't seem too bad tbf. Lasers should be banned everywhere really. Most of them are chinese shite that's not properly rated and can damage eyesight.
You know someone makes videos for entertainment and fun, Instead of money and advertising his own products. When he shows products made by other airsoft companies. That's why I always loved your channel :)
A company that literally stole money from its retailers, bailed, filed for bankruptcy, evicted from their warehouse, won't respond to anybody anymore? Sounds fun to me
Novritsch, if you see this, I really really hope you develop an Airsoft shotgun similar to the Flak 5/10. I think it would be hugely popular and in high demand, especially from someone as well established and successful as yourself. I’ve always wanted a shotgun platform that feels like a true shotgun, but I unfortunately discovered the flak when it was already too late. Either way, if you do happen to develop a shotgun, I know it will carry the same high quality standards and reliability that your other products have 🙏🏻
Seeing as it seems Airsoftg Innovations is dead and gone, why dont you try reaching out to them to buy their patents? Would love to see how you and the team would redesign the Cyclone and Bang22 grenades, plus the Flak 5 and Flak 10.
100% agree. It is a shame their incredibly stupid advertising got their products banned at most fields, resulting in the company going bankrupt and stopping development and use of actual, new innovative airsoft products. I was super stoked about the Flak 10 as the first fieldable, somewhat realistic airsoft shotgun. But here we are.
Good to know. I had seen several places suggesting the bang22 as a good grenade, but noticed that pretty much everything on their site says out of stock. I guess I know why now. Bummer. While i'm at it though, any suggestions for a good substitute?
Airsoft innovations has gone the way side. I believe they fell in hard time with the supply chain issues and had to close shop. This gun is not available as far as I know. Unless you can talk to those guys and maybe bring up a merger and adopting intellectual properties. I have a tornado II and when the fill valve works it's great!
What happened was this guns pre-orders went out to stores, primarily in Canada, and AI told all the people involved that production was ready to go etc but what actually happened is they were still in development and hadn't made a finished, production product yet and also hadn't acquired any plans for production. They basically lied and crowdfunded production. They owe dozens is not hundreds of thousands in product to multiple stores and investors who they scammed into buying supply of a gun they never were ready to produce.
I bought a tornado a year ago, tried filling it with 5 different gas bottles, neither worked, meaning the gas was spilled all over the place, and after the refund I bought 2 x 360storms which work just fine.
@@TriadAgone they were dishonest about it, and a lot of airsoft shops have refunded players at their own cost and basically lost the money to those lying assholes. But very nice of novritsch to show their cool gun, which will be banned at most airsoft fields anyways.
I mean honestly it would probably not be the best thing for casual games but it makes perfect sense for milsim games since it more or less shoots how an actual shotgun would
I would say this is really the closest to actually having a semi-auto 12ga that you can get for airsoft. It would be pretty interesting as long as it's from a reputable company that won't disappear overnight...
Great gameplay with the Flack-10! The Flack-5 has always been an airsoft gun I wanted to use however never got the chance due to complications with the company who manufactures them.
i own a FLAK-5...modded to hpa. printed an adapter so i can put a tracer on it. its a VERY scary gun to see in action. would only recommend using EPM1 mags as 5-10 rounds per pull empties you out REAL quick.
It's not for me but I'm not worried by it, let people use what they want...the minute you start banning equipment the list will get longer and longer etc. If the players are listened to you will find sites banning full auto, DMR's, ghillie suites..........just see these pieces of equipment as an extra challenge to work around.
Fuck I wish Airsoft was legal in Australia, been watching airsoft videos for years and it just looks amazing. Our laws here are crazy, we are allowed paintball yet the government banned gel ball shooters and airsoft and classified them as firearms. No chance in getting them even with a firearms licence, like i can own multiple rifles, shotguns and handguns with a licence yet an airsoft or even a gel shooter is somehow still too dangerous.
To be honest, I'm running the Jagarms BFG shooting 12 rounds per trigger pull. I can fire it rather fast, I see no problem with this thing. At least allow the Flak-5
Basically a semi-auto shotgun with more bbs per trigger pull. I think it is quite appropriate in CQB given the fps is not too high and would love to see more original concept closing in on the shotgun feeling that is kind of better with recent gas shotgun but not yet there.
So I’m working on a airsoft sniper that uses compressed air with a quiet yet powerful sniper. Fully metal and custom. Just hold down the red button by the trigger and fire. There is a small display under the scope to show the fps. And it has a TON of recoil. And a igniter at the end of the recoil barrel for a nice muzzle flash. Hardest shot: 900 fps.
Novritsch I’ve been wondering if you could do a dare for me Dare: take a pistol magazine and load in the BBs but do not put it in the gun. Instead, shoot the BBs by releasing the spring from inside the magazine. Kind of like a one time burst mini gun. Something funny to do or to consider

Too bad you can't really get one of these anymore. I'd love to have this for some distance shooting. Sadly the company is also offering refunds for products that never showed up which makes me think it will never come back in this design atleast
I’m surprised came out with a video showcasing it after all the aftermath of airsoft innovation drama. I’d say scoop up the patent if you can for sure! Did you modify the flak? Mine no where near performed like that stock by any means.
I guess some field owners might frown upon this rifle. But I think the idea is really cool and since it's a prototype you have the time right now to make some adjustments. With that I mean make the housing for the 10 bb's interchangable between 3 and 10 bb's. I think most players and field owners will allow it if it has that possibility. But 10 bb's fkin ripps. Really cool! I would hate to see it just become a collectors item because people don't want it on the fields, so please, just in case the worst scenario, make a part to allow it to be nerfed if really need be.
Take the mechanisim, put it in a AA12 frame, or a SAGIA12 frame, give it a rate of fire and ammo cap, and I’d say it should be legal, I’d have to say tho most milsim shouldn’t allow it unless it’s considered a police action in the fictional setting of the milsim (because how geneva convention works) but still

I was happy to get rid of this gun the moment I received it. The claim of being able to fire 1000 bbs from one fill of gas was never realised. After I received my gun from AI, I found out that the company pretty much folded. so much for tech support. Novritsch mentioned the decisive trigger pull. I concur with that assessment. The gun was also sensitive to the mags being used. Certain mags like King Arms would not feed at all. In my estimation, the gun was not yet ready for prime time. A shame, really, being produced by a Canadian Airsoft company.
The dream is to be able to go somewhere as cool as the places you are always at 🙏🙏🙏 I’m gonna try my best and hopefully someday I’ll be going to private islands and abandoned factory’s to play airsoft

Another great video by the way!
I loved their design, to bad the company went under. I would certainly added a Flakk5 with the internal Tracer to my list of still to buy's xD
The company went under?
I think you should make your own version of this shotgun I like the idea of it in CQB but a perfected version would be the ultimate CQB killer
Looks Like a good performing gun and too mess around with

something like this but in a body of a Saiga 12 or AA-12 would be super cool!

The FLAK10 reminds me of an AA12
They are both really fun!
