IWA Outdoor Classics 2015 Airsoft Meetup Presentations

OptimusPrime

Sorry folks for the delay in posting the proceedings of the 4th Airsoft Meetup that took place last 8 March 2015 at the IWA Outdoor Classics 2015 in Nuremberg, Germany. I just finished the uploading of all the videos just last night. Finally, all the presentations of speakers who comprised the line-up for the Airsoft Meetup is now available and hosted by Slickaxe of NLAirsoft.com.

The first question you will ask is that, "What's the difference with the presentations done by the speakers at their exhibit booths?" If you just speed through the video presentations, you may or may not notice it. But if you watch and listen carefully, there are more information revealed by the presenters that were not mentioned during the quick video presentations at their own booths. With more time and slides prepared by the each presenter, you will get more information from airsoft and airsoft -related companies in three hours, in one room, and where most of the airsoft media in Europe and even from Asia were also gathered to listen and learn more.

One example is the Krytac KRISS Vector AEG was formally announced by Tim Seargeant. Another is the President of Tippmann Sports, Dennis Tippman Jr., took time from his business meetings to do the presentation himself. We get to learn more about the plans of RedWolf Airsoft, apart from the announcement of the RWA product line-up, as they cement their reputation as one of the best airsoft companies in the world. 

Gunfire was in full force at the Airsoft Meetup, including the Specna Arms women, and their presence and support are always a welcome thing at the Meetup. Airsoft Innovations' Carlton Chong also had his "Bill Gates" moment, encountering problems with his Quantum Engine Demo, as the shotgun didn't fire as initially expected. But when it did work, the result was really impressive for a realistic, shell-ejecting, and skirmishable airsoft gun.

Valken Tactical presented other products apart from their AR-1 and Valken V12 Engine, but I'd rather not mention them here and prefer you watch Josh's presentation. Thomas Mikkelsen of Action Sport Games (ASG) emphasized on their upcoming offerings and their flagship offering: the ASG Scorpion EVO 3 A1 AEG.  Always a welcome speaker at the Airsoft Meetup was Jane Liu of Modify-Tech and those who attended listened intently as she presented their upcoming Xtreme Tactical Carbine or XTC which made me hum "Dear God" and "Senses Working Overtime" as the initials of the airsoft gun reminded me of the highly acclaimed new wave band from Swindon.

Now a part of the Airsoft Meetup is the Airsoft Players' Choice Awards Awarding Ceremony where those who won in this year's Awards and present at the IWA Outdoor Classics get to receive their awards. For this year, RedWolf Airsoft, Airsoft Innovations, Gunfire, and Border War Milsim, were present to receive the awards. It was sweeter for RedWolf Airsoft and Gunfire as both are in the first group of inductees in the Airsoft Players' Choice Awards Hall Of Fame.

The guys from Gearskin EU were the last minute addition to speak at the Airsoft Meetup and they presented their self adhesive fabric you can use for you gear and airsoft guns.

Each video embedded below are in the same sequence on how they speakers presented at the actual meetup. Get a headset if you want to listen carefully as there are many useful information you can get from each speaker. Enjoy!
