  Watch Ranger as he shows you how to properly pivot turn with a airsoft rifle, and how to properly switch from your airsoft rifle to your airsoft pistol. Remember this is for airsoft only. Be sure to be safe with your airsoft guns and always use eye protection.
• Solitary Complete trailer

• T-Virus (Resident Evil) Sinnet Preview by TIAT
  The T-Virus Sinnet is a nod to the mythology and imagery of the Resident Evil series. More specifically, the look of the sinnet was inspired by the fictional, man-made virus, created by "Umbrella Corporation". Relatively easy to tie, the sinnet makes a great bracelet or belt.

• "Desert Quicksand:" The Definition of Stuck by Nutnfancy
  Now DUDE…that’s is stuck! Murphy’s Law in full effect on another Nutnfancy tactical shoot. This time we’re hosting CEO of Tactical Solutions Keith as comes down to our neck of the woods. Awful weather was in store which made the desert treacherous for travel. What looks to be a firm gravel dirt quickly becomes a mud bog when it’s been soaked like this. No matter the truck or technique, when you’re in, you’re in. Even careful driving with the outstanding Nissan Pro-4X and it’s locking differential can’t bring us out of this Desert Quicksand. Luckily I was by the road as I flipped this brody and dug in…making a quick extraction with my tow strap from another passing vehicle possible. But between here and there is a world of mud and slop as everything conspires against us to get this shoot going! When it rains, it pours. You just gotta’ laugh./////////////// Music: DoKashiteru
• 2011/03/11 Earthquake, Yokohama
  横浜市にて撮影。車に荷物を取りに行く途中地震に遭遇、逃げながら撮影した物です。震度5強だったそうですが歩くのも難しいような状況で、付近の工場等から沢山の方が避難されておりました。私の職場もかなりの被害を受けており、復旧に時間がかかりそうです。
• "Elevations of Rimfire:" Tactical Solutions and TNP, Pt 1
  Join The Nutnfancy Project up in Boise, Idaho as we touch base with Tactical Solutions and crew. For years they have made some the coolest and most useful modifications to Ruger and Browning .22s: the Pac-Lite and Trail-Lite receiver barrels and the X-Ring .22 barrels for 10/22s. The TacSol barrels transform these guns into super lightweight and good looking guns with perhaps a tactical flavor. The threaded barrels help too, prepping the gun for either the TacSol proprietary compensator or a suppressor (perhaps their own Cascade design), both useful in many POUs. Produced in some wicked colors, PFIDude and myself check out the production and finished products of these and some other newer TacSol products here. Kinda’ like their new full size Glock TSG-22 .22 conversion slide (milled out of 4140 steel), the 2211 .22 1911 conversions, AR-22s, and X-Ring 10/22 receivers. Of course while we kid around along the way, I make sure we hit the key points of the designs and make some honest observations where appropriate. And somewhere along the way a Great Pyrenees finds interest in PFIDude’s crotch…what?! Keith, crew, and their dog were great hosts in this TNP visit. We are motivated to get out and shoot these guns after the visit with Keith and do just that. But windy conditions, a rushed schedule, and some jams conspire against us and we end up down in the TNP desert stomping grounds make the shoot a reality. But things get interesting then. In a driving rain and a blizzard the TacSol shoot finally takes place and in the end we give these guns a real test in these harsh conditions (with enough mud for anyone!). ////////////////Music: Jason Shaw

• (Airsoft Series) Jugger What?! behind the scenes and bloopers
  http://RainbowOps.com – Here is a peek behind the scenes with the RAINBOW team as they filmed the first episode of their web series titled "Jugger What?!". Hope you enjoy the video.

  We had a blast filming this episode. We try to keep the series as close to an actual game of airsoft as we possibly can. We of course glorify it a little bit because when you boil it down, we’re just grown men playing with toy guns. Hahaha…

  These were filmed in Southern California.

AEG Wizard: Burst Wizard LV

You may notice a new supporter for the site with the website AEG Wizard. I thought I’d add some information about their invention.

According to their press release the Burst Wizard LV allows you to easily retrofit a burst unit to your own AEG. The simple addition allows you to tune burst fire, enforce single shot or slow down the rate of fire on an AEG. Not bad for 40USD:

AEG Burst Wizard was invented for Airsoft hobbyists who want to have more functions, fun and safety when playing the AEG games. We know most players would like to have more capabilities especially more firing modes out of their guns besides just semi-auto and full-auto modes. Up until now, adding more firing modes like the 3 round burst and sniper mode to their guns require significant rework to the gearbox assembly and certain level of skill to achieve them.

But with AEG Burst Wizard from www.aegwizard.com, adding 3 round burst and other safety features to any of their AEGs can be achieved in seconds. As a matter of fact, the AEG Burst Wizard is a plug and play computer controlled MOSFET controller that instantly transforms any of their AEGs into a 3 round burst gun. But that is not all it does for hobbyists to enhance the value of their guns! Here are some of it’s other popular features that hundreds of hobbyists around the Airsoft world are talking about:

1) Sniper mode for DMR or any AEGs (1 second delay between trigger pulled)
2) ROF change from 100% down to 50% or lower for safety and mimicking the real steels
3) MOSFET soft starting to enhance the life of gearbox and motor
4) Burst mode active braking and precision burst count tuning
5) Trigger switch arcing reducer function without needing to rewire the electrical interface
6) Small size 2.2"L x 0.6"W x 0.4"H  ( 5.6 cm L x 1.5 cm W x 1 cm H)
7) Announce the battery voltage within 0.1 V accuracy. Now they know the health of the battery installed
8) Keep the full auto mode capability but has an option to disable full auto mode altogether
9) LIPO battery low voltage cut off protection to extend the useful life of their valuable battery
10) At only USD $39.99 (half the price compared to other MOSFET products)

Best Regards, Kong (AEG Wizard)

UKAPU defend airsoft player in trouble with the law

UKAPU have an interesting story about one of their members’ run in with the law whilst attempting to import an airsoft replica:

Another victory – UKAPU defends innocent airsoft player in trouble with LAW

In August 2010, Roland Fejes (an airsoft skirmisher and now member of UKAPU) attempted to import a Deepfire M72 LAW. The Deepfire M72 LAW is a high quality airsoft replica but ordinary in function, using moscart type airsoft ‘grenades’. These are commonly imported to the UK as they are a replica which you are permitted to import or buy when you are entitled to the skirmishers specific defence under the Violent Crime Reduction Act.

To Roland’s surprise, his replica was seized when it passed through customs and his house subsequently raided by a counter terrorism unit in order to check that he did not have ‘any other prohibited weapons’. Roland was given no paperwork to explain the situation and no notice of seizure. When he was contacted by the Police he was aggressively bullied and threatened with nonsensical charges including firearms and terrorism offences in an attempt to scare him away from seeking his legal rights. He was accused of importing a re-activated real launcher.

Clearly a fundamental mistake had been made – on top of which something was very wrong with the way the authorities were handling this situation. As a normal player with no legal expertise Roland did not know how to approach this, so one of our members suggested he get in contact with us at UK Airsoft Players Union. One of the key roles we have set for UKAPU is defending individual airsoft skirmishers against prejudice in the system.

Over the course of 6 months UKAPU used our knowledge, contacts and community standing to fight this injustice. Eventually UKAPU convinced a senior Police officer to drop talk of terrorism charges, at which point UK Border Agency and Scotland Yard began disputing the legality of airsoft skirmishers importing moscart devices. Again our considered protest won through, and by UKAPU persistently refusing to let this issue drop Roland had his item returned to him this week! By this, the Police have admitted that they were wrong to prevent him importing this airsoft replica, that the harassment was unjustified and that the charges were unfounded.

Everyone who has joined UKAPU has contributed to this latest victory; We were only able to force the powers that be to respect Roland’s rights because of the strength that our members have lent to UKAPU by joining, so they should give themselves a pat on the back! United, we Airsofters can stand up for each other, so if you haven’t joined yet then please look at our website – we will need your support in the next fight!

Matt Furey-King, Chairman (UKAPU)

Pyramyd Airsoft Blog: G&G – Capital of Greedy Island?

Tom has been rambling, oops, I mean writing over on the Pyramyd Airsoft Blog when he should probably be sleeping:

Their words, not mine.  I’m just the messenger here.

According to my very new and incredible Penpal Tactical Writing Equipment, aka my “Awesome” Pen, I estimate that it’s around 11:24am London Time in your neck of the woods.  That would make it 3:24am Pacific Standard Time in mine.  This incredible device weighs around 3.4 lbs (a gross hyperbole, but it’s very heavy) and allows me to calculate the time pretty much anywhere in the world because of its global clock. It does other cool things like break glass & penetrate various surfaces with the ball point tip without damaging its structural integrity.  Anyway, you might think that’s outrageously late to be up, thinking about Airsoft, but I can assure you that there’s never a bad time of day to be doing such a thing. 

As such, I’ve put some thoughts up on the Pyramyd Airsoft Blog about my time at the G&G Booth during this year’s Shot Show, which includes a brief discussion about Snow White and the subliminal adulterated content Walt Disney animators & sound engineers allegedly inserted into some of their classic animated children’s films.

For anyone who’s interested, the new FN Herstal F2000 by G&G Armament, graciously licensed through Cybergun, is “oscar mike” to my grid coordinates for a much needed analysis & review.  I will post my findings on the Pyramyd Airsoft Blog faster than you can say, “Chione the Snow Nymph.”  You’ll need to read my latest blog for the heart-warming Cliff Notes story on her.

I hope you, News Fairy, and your wonderful readers have a fantastical weekend.
