Airsoftology Episode #8: “Playing Hookey”

April 27th, 2009

This is what Chris sent us as an excuse, very lame.

Episode #8, and Chris is MIA.  He was sick, but all is fine now. The CDC has released him from quarantine and and the topical ointment seems to be working just fine. Those darn rashes are a beast to get rid of.

This episode our friend Steve stops by to fill the 3rd seat and we just about lose our non-explicit rating.  Informative with a touch of humor; we break down the news, gear reviews and tech tips that you want to hear.

Show Notes:

News

- We’re intrigued by the newest offering from Madbull; their Crawler barrel (link to story and video at Arnie’s).  According to their site it reduces the velocity of your airsoft gun between 30 and 100 fps depending on your configuration.

- Magpul’s newest custom gun, the MAGPUL PTS MOE AEG Deluxe Carbine is out and it looks very cool.  Check out the news story and pics here.

- It wouldn’t be a show if we didn’t mention our obsession with Bioval BB’s.  We know we said they would be back in stock soon, but there seems to have been a delay.  Our theory is that they were on the hijacked freighter. Blame the Somali pirates for the delay.

- Chip Andre sent in a link to his pet airsoft project and we were amazed.  He has created a comprehensive database of  most every airsoft review from the web: The Airsoft Review Database.  All for free with no ads, so check it out at asrdb.com!   All we can say is THANK YOU Chip!!!!

Rumors

- We have all the details on the new Echo 1 ER-25K, more than what they have on their site. Also we have the scoop on their new metal bodies. If you want to know you have to listen to the show, cause we can’t share it here.

Reviews

- This show we review a new offering from Airsoft Innovations, the Tornado grenade distraction device addon.  If you own a Tornado, this is a must-have.   Check out the full review with pics at Chris’ site, We should have them up soon.  You can pick them up at www.airsoft-innovations.com

Show Notes:

Shout Outs

Chris has risen to the challenge and has decided to quit smoking and we are paying the price.  We’ve taken away all of his sharp objects so we should be safe…for a while.

News

- Friend of the show SlickAxe, from NLairsoft.com sent us a golden nugget of news this week.  Bioval is set to release their long-awaited precision glow-in-the-dark bb’s, the BBBflo.  Fully biodegradable they are a great solution for fields that require “green” bb’s or for the environmentally conscious player.

- The veil has been lifted and we all know what the three “mystery” Echo1 guns are.  For all of you that guessed MP7…you fail!  Check out the news release at their site.

-We knew it was going to happen sooner or later.  The clone market has spat out another VFC copy, this time it’s the PDW and Dboys has done the dirty work.  Listen in and hear Chris’ opinion…all we can say is WOW.

- CYMA has decided to take their success in the AEP market and have created a electric P226 pistol.  If you are in the market for a non blowback electric sidearm on the cheap, it might be worth a look.

Reviews

- This week we take a close look at a piece of Jonathan’s personal kit, his Eagle plate carrier with cummerbund.  Of course we would look at it if Chris wasn’t wearing it the entire show.   Check out the full review with pics at Chris’ site.

Tech Tip of the Week

Chris has done his tech tip about piston prep this show.  He tells us how to do some minor modifications to your piston to get the best performance out of it before the install.  Read his full how-to pictorial here.

Listener Segment

This week we have our very first listener submitted segment.  Dr. Vaughn of the Auburn Medical Group in California brings us the very first airsoft medical report. He discusses a study that tested the injury potential of airsoft and paintball on the human eye.  When you are done with the show, go check out his site and his other podcast about airsoft at www.auburnmedicalgroup.com

We also answer the last response to the no-hit calling question we posed a few shows back, and answer a “what should I buy” question from one you!  All good questions so keep them coming!!!!!!
