This doesn’t appear to be a hoax. If it’s true, this is a blow to airsoft as a whole. Whether you like External Air Systems or not, Daytona Gun provided a high-quality platform, improving exsisting EAS GBB systems. The loss may not register with the wide majority of AEG users, but it does represent a blow to the sport.
From ArniesAirsoft via aznriptide859:
“The issue happened for more than 1 month time, here’s the update: i thought i can get back the money so that i have been shipped out 4 more 249 kits to 4 customers (Jesse / Finland), (Marcus / Sweden), (Danger Close / USA), (Alexander / USA), on 2-Dec-2011, please see attachement. But now i think i will loss that 4 kits also because i cannot feel that i can get any payment from Opforce “Ian Mazzochi”http://www.airsoftgasblowbacks.com . So i can’t ship out anything more because he own me money. Not to talk the old list amount, the current project he own me is another US$3,321.37(pls see attached file) , we argued for whole month and i said this, he said that, nothing was settled, so this is a deadend~! Now his website is still using my photos and receive payment, you can check that in facebook (Airsoftgasblowbacks Gbb). He is selling his own products but i don’t know why if they can do they should use their own photos, not mine.
Our workshop have been already closed and there is no more DG, I have changed my job and nothing related to airsoft. I don’t have any relationship with Ian Opforce http://www.airsoftgasblowbacks.com and any other issue about him is none of my business~! Please help to spread it out all around the world~! Thank you for supporting DG in the past.
What i know is that there are at lease 5 poeple paid him and cannot get the stuffs. Pls take care before you pay him.
Thanks”
From what I gather, there have been issues between DG himself and the fellow who runs/manages the Airsoft Gas Blowbacks website, which takes and processes the orders for DG guns. I don’t know if the AGBB will continue to make DG-style guns independant of DG, but for now it seems to be prudent to wait before purchasing from them.
We’ll see if more news comes from this.

The truth is Justin from Daytongun (real name Lee wai kit) has breached our contract 2 times in 2 year. Sniper x is the one who broke the story of Daytonagun breaching our contract. You can even see it online. Airsoft extreme is selling these guns and has been for a long time. We never sold them these pieces and is proof of his break as well as selling to another shop. The contract was we are the U.S. distributor.
We are now in the courts and suing him for breach of contract and character defamation. Daytongun has been emailing people trying to make us look bad because we are now making them here in the USA because we dont want to work with him anymore. He has said many thing that are not true. His list is fabricated which anyone can do with a word program.
It is true we are not accepting anymore order as of 12/29/11
I will update everyone on the courts decision. That bad thing is its the customers who hear this and believe it. Well if you are one of the few who ordered and do not want your piece you can have a refund right away. Or you can wait for us to have them made here in the USA with more upgrades. We estimate our new kits to be complete in about 8 weeks and to be Made in the U.S.A I will keep everyone updated on the courts decision.
Thank you for sharing yourside of the story with us, Mark. I’ll try to keep an eye on the story as it developes further.
I just found out some more information on the Daytonagun situation. Apparently he is trying to sell some m249 kits and whole guns. I had a friend order one and it got seized by customs. It turns out that Justin doesn’t have a dealer license and you need to have one in hong kong. My buddies money is gone and Justin will not email him back. I would stay away from anyone selling things like this that doesn’t have a dealers license or even a website. In hong kong they take this very seriously and that is where these are being shipped from.
