Listener Questions:

1.    Mason O Writes:

So i just bought a WE scar gbb and I’m loving it. I’m loving it so much it fact that i began to wonder “why doesn’t everyone use these?”  I mean gas blowbacks are as realistic as it gets, much simpler to repair and upgrade and have a tendency to be sturdier and longer lasting than AEGs. so why did they fall out of style? I know people who claim to be or at least try very hard to be hardcore milsim types, but they just don’t want a gbb rifle. some problems like, the price of gas and effects of cold weather i understand, but ive heard of ways around both. (like CO2 being better in the cold) what do you think? .

2. Erik Writes:

Why doesn’t anyone do an airsoft podcast where players talk about their games? I find that the best part of most of the podcasts I’ve listen to is when people actually talk about there experience IN the game. I mean the gear is great, the training is rad, but the best part is when people have some AWESOME game story! Like the episode when one of you two threw a grenade and it feel a tad short and blew up but never hit anyone, or when one of you didn’t change your mag and ended up being killed and so on. Bring the awesome!

Vocab:

Austin returns with another great vocab lesson this week:  The Robert Furlong (For those not familiar with the name, Rob Furlong is known for the longest kill shot in history.)

We ALL know one of these. They don’t have a specific weapon, despite what their title suggests. However they love to shoot whatever they have, and think they are an amazing marksman. Thus, these people love to call you out from 150+ YARDS while they are using something that wouldn’t even shoot that far. These people tend to have a short fuse, and are also vulgar, especially when calling you out. Some think they know everything there is to know about airsoft, but are a clearsofter upstairs. Don’t usually run with high grade AEGs.

Tech Tip

None formally this week, but if you pay close attention we give you a secret on how to prolong the life of your trigger switch.  There will be a quiz later, it’s is full of essay questions.

Listener Questions:

1. I just finished listening to Show 35, and you guys were talking about
the “mini” modified Dragunov with the full suppressor barrel but
couldn’t remember the name.  That’s the VSS Vintorez.   – Dalton P.

2.Why do high end  performance AEG manufacturers like KWA not include Mosfet systems in their guns?  – Thomas B.
