Sorry folks if we're still in the FPS video game reportage, since these are what will consumer a good number of any airsoft player's hours for the cold weather, so we're not yet done with reporting some of the sightings we have as game publishers try to put one good promotion over the other. We just had Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and now we have this commercial from Ubisoft for their Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier game.
Yes, indeed! But then, I will need to sell a good list of my airsoft guns and gear just to complete it. With the cold weather setting in, I'll be needing a good set of thermal clothing to keep me warm outside, especially in the woodlands and doing winter airsoft. These Columbia Omni-Heat Electric Heater line-up should do the trick, that is, if I can afford them.
The marketing people of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 are now at full throttle as they follow through with their new tradition of having celebrities star in their commercials. Last time it was Kobe Bryant and Jimmy Kimmel for the COD Black Ops Live Trailer. COD MW3 feature Sam Worthington, Jonah Hill and Dwight Howard in the "The Vet & The n00b" live trailer.
Video gamers, sci-fi fans, medical personnel, rescue, and security people would surely welcome this as they have been waiting for the technology that will be able to detect even your heartbeat from afar. Each type of people have different purposes for such technology such as monitoring patients, motion games, rescuing people in a fire, and of course, intruder detection.
Who says so? No other than Travis Haley of Haley Strategic Partners say so. Travis, formerly the CEO of Magpul Industries Corp., and the founder and partner of Magpul Dynamics, says that airsoft provides the convenience for training with firearms especially when it's not convenient to use real steel firearms. If you're a real steel shooter, then read this article even closely.
Nothing beats a milsim or large-scale airsoft events that's peppered with lots of big guns, whether these are tanks, howitzers, mortars, and fixed gun implacements. These are meant to add more realism and also as objectives for airsoft games. We need more of these, but then that's up to airsoft event organisers to decide and spend on.
We look towards Italy to find a weapons system that has been developed for the "Soldato Futuro" or Italy's equivalent to the "Future Soldier" systems project in the US. Here we find the Beretta ARX160, a modular and lightweight rifle that is unique system in itself, and is more flexible design as compared to other future soldier rifles such as the FN SCAR, the Magpul ACR, and the HK XM8.
This blog entry from the Firearms Blog makes me want to tell airsoft manufacturers that they better get their asses moving to make one for the airsoft market. As we have seen the proliferation of airsoft Glock carbine conversion kits, is it also appropriate that they also provide higher-capacity magazines for these converted carbines to be used to their full potential?
Trick or Treat! It's that time of the year again where you get to dust off your Zombie Killer airsoft gun and go into halloween airsoft events which are obviously zombie-themed. But I know some people who have the Zombie Killer always on their side when they go to regular airsoft skirmishes, having it ready when they encounter airsoft zombies! Yes! Airsoft is a game where zombies actually exist, and having an AEG with a crazy ROF is one way of making them go back to their graves.
The German Army finally got themselves a new Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR), and naturally, a german company makes it for them. A few hundred H&K G28 DMRs were ordered and sporting a chromed-lined 16.5" RECCE barrel which many say as the new standard for DMRs. While it is a direct descendant of the HK416/417 rifles, its design was originally intended for the civilian market, rather than for military and law enforcement. You might wonder why a civilian version got adopted by the German Army.
