More from MadBadger Airsoft's reports from the IWA 2013 & Outdoor Classics as they checkout the Umarex Beretta ARX160... "On visiting the Umarex stand and saying hello to the guys, we noted behind them, the unmistakeable shape of the ARX160, with a member of Umarex team showing the gearbox to a visitor! We just stood there, not believing that we were now seeing an ARX160 with internal workings! Yes, there it was in all its pre-production glory before our very own eyes! All we could say at this point was, WOW!
Another video from Yosser taken during the British Airsoft Show 2013... "Yosser got to speak to Ratty about the NEW BlueStreak Airsoft site based at the former RAF Westcott airbase and the former home of the UK's missile defence research known as Bluestreak and hence the site name. Check out the video taken at the British Airsoft Show 2013 for more about this great site."
A big weekender is coming this summer in the North West of England. News courtesy of Yosser's Airsoft Odyssey...

Yosser is not done yet with reports from MadBadger Airsoft at IWA 2013 as here's another one that covers Hyde Definition adn Helikon Tex... "Hyde Definition had three uniforms on display at this year’s IWA; Woodland, Desert and a Snow or High Country uniform. We had a good long chat with them in relation to the history of the company, the recent US trials, and the future of this unique British company.
Here's another report from Madbadger Airsoft from IWA 2013 & Outdoor Classics as they visited the ASG booth... "The new airsoft concept CZ09 was pride of place on the ASG stand, and will be first available in .177 later this year, to be followed by 6mm BB. I would expect the 6mm BB version to be available for retail by next year (2014). Having had a good chat with Jesper from ASG, he was able to reveal that the pistol would be CO2 in both 6mm and .177 and the fps would make the gun skirmishable.
Airsoft Odyssey also got in a report of theirs from the IWA 2013 & Outdoor Classics with MadBadger Airsoft writing about their visit to Evolution Airsoft... "We would have to say that Evolution Airsoft impressed us on three levels. Firstly, their growing line of licensed products. Secondly, in their quality control, and thirdly, in their related area of free, long term, comprehensive warranties. With such warranties any Evolution customer should be able to expect more than a year of cost free running of his or her AEG.

Madbadger Airsoft made a guest posting at Airsoft Odyssey on the M1 Garand for airsoft... "When comparing the finish of the ICS model to the G&G model, in our opinion the collector and serious re-enactor would be far happier with the look, feel and finish of the G&G reproduction.
Another review of a product from Helikon Tex by Yosser's Airsoft Odyssey... "I do hope Helikon-Tex keep up producing and using this PCS-MP pattern in other kit they produce. I just love this pattern and at long last they have produced this smock which was lacking from their range. With sensible features and functions this jacket should be a good seller amoungst airsofters looking for a Brit/SF UK load out or even for those looking for all weather protection. As mentioned, this PCS Smock compliments the PCS-MP uniform so if you have this kit you need this jacket.
An update sent in by Yosser's Airsoft Odyssey regarding developments at SWAT Training Devices. The Versatile Training Grenade (which is also a Blank Firing Grenade) is now available in Banana Yellow, Olive Drab, and Tan colours which should be good for those who prefer a more "colourful" BFG. Also, you get to see their "Photoluminescent casing" and if you're wondering what this is, watch the video below the images.
