Last Tuesday, APS has announced on Facebook that it has become an authorized distributor of EMG products. At first, the information was quite surprising, because APS has been the real manufacturer of many products sold under the EMG brand for years.

Let's remind you that EMG International is derived from EMG - Evike Manufacturing Group - an American company operating for nearly 20 years, running, among other things, one of the largest network of airsoft stores - Evike.com. For several years, EMG has also been involved in the purchase of manufacturing rights for airsoft replicas of various products from the real firearms world. Production is then commissioned to various other manufacturers. This way APS is making licensed NOVESKE, Falkor and F-1 Firearms replicas, Ares Hellbreaker Sharps Bros, and very recently Krytac Barretta REC7.

Polish Gunfire, which sells Daniel Defense and Strike Industries licensed products, uses sublicences obtained from EMG.

Today, the situation of APS has become clearer: in Spain, a European distribution center has been opened, in which APS will also sell EMG products in addition to its own. Does this mean that buying replicas and accessories currently available only overseas will become easier? We'll see as at the moment the offer is modest.

Prices remain a separate topic. We checked them comparing 2 replicas we have reviewed in the last few months.

The NOVESKE 10.5" Gen4 Shorty costs 296 EUR at APS Europe, plus shipping. At the Polish Taiwangun store it can be bought at a sale for 175 EUR (regular price: 293 EUR)

In turn, the latest edition of the APS Phantom, the PER MKX (Phantom Extremis Rifle Mark 10) in Spain costs 235 EUR plus shipping. In Poland, around 212 EUR.

APS has been cooperating with Taiwangun for years. How will this cooperation look after opening the APS store in Europe, we'll see.
