OptimusPrime

Jonathan Higgs of Airsoftology continues his "Truth About Bio BBs" and for part 2 it is about the High Power Airsoft and Elite Force Bio BBs. It is a question that many airsoft players and retailers ask if these claimed biodegradable BBs which are produced to be environment friendly are what their manufacturers claim to be. Some of the BB providers published tests conducted by government agencies or third party testers authorised by regulators.

"What's 'Too Young' For A Milsim?"

OptimusPrime

Good question. But if you really want Milsim, we always suggest following the allowable age for young people to be drafted or volunteer to serve in the military in the country where it is being organised. This usually means minors are not allowed to participate. Airsoftology talks about this and other topics such as burst-fire and sidearms for airsoft medics.

"Baofeng Radios Now Illegal?"

OptimusPrime

These should alarm airsoft players who own the programmable Baofeng handheld radios to use for communications in airsoft and milsim events. But did the FCC really ban Baofeng radios in the U.S.? It looks like its all about the FCCC part 90 certification for Private Land Mobile Radio Service and that Baofeng needs to its have its radios comply and operate in 145-155 MHz and 400-520 Mhz bands to avoid being in violation. Airsoftology talks about this and about bullpups in this Q&A Mondays episode.

"Tippmann Mail Call:

"Should Airsoft Fields Limit Your Ammo?"

OptimusPrime

Do you agree that airsoft fields limit your ammo? It depends as we there are game scenarios in which your are limited to the number of BBs or rounds that you can expend in a game, or how many magazines you can use. There are even game fields that insist only on biodegradable BBs to be environment friendly. Watch Airsoftology talk about this and other topics in this Q&A Mondays episode.
