The next red letter day in the calendar of events for airsoft community is the IWA Outdoor Classics 2015. Whilst the USA and North American have their SHOT Show, for Europe, it's the IWA & Outdoor Classics. Both events is participated in heavily by the airsoft industry in recent years and thus for the European airsoft community, it’s also an event where they get to meet with the industry and update each other on what is happening in airsoft.

The IWA & Outdoor Classics (the organisers are now calling it the IWA Outdoor Classics) is over 40 years old now. It started in 1973 with just over 100 exhibitors, which was already a lot for any starting project. Now, there are over 1,300 exhibitors that even in our schedule of visiting the various companies, airsoft or not, just writing about 30 of these can already fill up 5 days' worth of reporting. How much more if over 1,000? Well, we'll just focus on airsoft, airsoft-related and tactical gear whilst we exhaust ourselves going around today until Monday, the 9th of March.

As always, there are new releases that we want to see and we hope to be surprised by some announcements from the vendors or  manufacturers. Will Krytac, ASG, King Arms, ICS, G&G, Cybergun, Modify and others we have failed to mention have something on display today that we haven't learned about prior to coming to Nuremberg? We sure hope so as we like surprises of the airsoft kind.

But what is also important for the Airsoft Community is the annual Airsoft Meetup. If you are coming and haven't signed up yet. You still have until Sunday to get your tickets. Meet both the community and industry coming together in the same room where we get updates through formal presentations.  It is growing each year and we hope it will become a tradition and institution.

So expect reports and photos from us as we give coverage the event. Not all photos can be posted here, but do follow us on Facebook, you'll get tons of IWA Outdoor Classics 2015 photos there. The videos will then be posted at our YouTube Channel next week.

See you there!
