Well…. It’s this time again…
So, some of you may have seen my previous posts in the past about the alpha and beta test. Well, now, here is another one: the MOSQUITO open beta test.

This is the third iteration of the MOSQUITO which is an open-source, modular, 3D-printed airsoft kit designed to take a V3 gearbox and hop-up chamber from a TM-based AK platform and turn them into a pure menacing machine on the airsoft battlefield, being super compact and lightweight with the same fire power as any other gun. Capable as both a primary weapon or as a sidearm backup. Able to be HPA'd as well.
The first iteration was very basic and did what was necessary:

The second iteration refined a lot of the functions and aesthetics:

This third iteration completely overhauls the design and enhances the printability of the model:

It now has beautiful and durable textured sides on many of the parts, a reworked and more reliable magazine catch, a completely reworked and ingenious battery grip solution, and many more changes. But primarily, the MOSQUITO is now open-source meaning you can make one too! It has been designed to be as easy to print as possible.
The main features of the MOSQUITO:
What will you need to make it work?
If you are after a tiny platform that packs a huge punch, this is it.
Woah there, single file please.
So, how to participate in the open beta test?
You can purchase a kit from me which includes everything (send me a message). Or, if you have your own 3D printer, you can download the 3D files and have a go at printing it yourself. Or, you can ask someone to make one for you. If you decide to make one yourself, you will have to source the screws and components yourself. Most are common parts and can be found in online stores. I have made a guide for both 3D printing and assembly instructions which list the parts required and they can be found at the bottom of the both Printables and GitHub pages.
If you decide to partake in the test, I'd highly consider joining the HYBRID AIRSOFT discord server to provide feedback and discuss the kit. The test will run from now to some time in June. No final date yet.

But primarily, the MOSQUITO is now open-source meaning you can make one too! It has been designed to be as easy to print as possible.
The main features of the MOSQUITO:
- Compact - measuring only 590mm unfolded and 383mm folded
- Lightweight - weighing only around 1.5kg when fully assembled (AEG form)
- Modular - easily swap parts out with a few pins (more to come in the future)
- Clever battery grip solution - a small gun doesn't have to mean a small battery
- Never fear for spare parts - open-source allows parts to be forever available
What will you need to make it work?
- V3 gearbox (TM AK based)
- Complete AK hop-up chamber (inc barrel and bucking)
- Stick type battery (max length 112mm, width 21mm, height 19mm)
- MP5 magazines (CYMA for best compatability)
