Show #18 is (finally) here and it’s about dang time!!!!! It took us a while to recover from our airsoft hangover from OP:Irene VII, but it was worth it! Aside from the news, tips and advice you crave, we talk about our experiences at Operation Irene…all we can say is WOW!!!! It was an event to remember.
Good news for show #18, Chris returns to fill the 3rd seat, Mechbox Mechanic fans can rejoice! Even though it took an act of congress to get him away from the tech bench and on the show, it was worth it.
Also in this show; we complete the Frankengun and start the BIG giveaway contest. Just “fan” the show on Facebook and you are in the running, it’s that easy. ( See below for full details.)
This episode’s shout-out goes out to the team over at KWA USA, or as Steve calls then…The K-Dub Crew! It was great hanging out with the KWA guys at Irene, and if you haven’t had a chance to see their new AEG releases, check them out at www.kwausa.com or ask for them at your favorite retailer! We have my eyes on the SR-10…

Show Notes:
News
- Steve has been doing his homework on the new Lithium Iron Phosphate (aka LiFePo4 or” LiFePo”) batteries that are making their way into the airsoft world. They look to be a bit safer than the LiPo models that are currently out there…tune in and listen to the discussion.
- Expert listener/reporter Conner B. has another fantastic find for us this show…and it’s a pillow?!?!!? Oh Yeah, he found a PEQ-15 pillow for sale! Now I just have to find a way to mount this to my SAW.
-We discuss the pros and cons of the current line of Aries AEGs. Chris has a particularly interesting opinion on this one, and in turn references an AATV review of their new DSR.
- Chris was drooling over AXI’s Winchester M1892 Lever-Action gas airsoft gun. “Mayor leggin’-it” is in this season (whatever that means…)
-We discuss the APS-2 based LSRP (cough, Barrett M99, cough) sniper rifle that Evike.com has online, and our personal experiences with it.
-Last but not least, we have a minor correction from Matt at Citadel Airsoft.
You’ll remember them as the Super-Awesome new 60,000 sq/ft indoor site in Worcester, MA we discussed a few shows back. We weren’t sure of the retailer that was partnered with the field at the time of that show, but now we know that it’s the fantastic team at Federal Airsoft.
Oh, while you are there check out the great gameplay videos and pics up on the site too!
Review
Irene! Irene! Irene! We just got back from Lionclaws’ Operation Irene 7 and have so many great stories to tell about the event! The bottom line: It’s like playing in a Hollywood movie! Listen in as Steve, Chris and Jonathan talk about the event.
Tech Tip /Frankengun Giveaway!!!!
The day has finally arrived! We are giving away the coveted Metal Body Echo1 M4 Stag-15, but not without 1 final upgrade. We replaced the “heart” of the system with a Classic Army Super High Speed motor, and saw a solid 3 RPS (Rounds Per Second) increase on our 8.4v battery.
If you want to be in the running to win the Frankengun, it’s easy! Just head over to our Facebook page and fan us. We’ll be picking a winner at random on September 29th, 2009 at 5pm CDT (GMT-6) If you are already a Facebook fan of the show, you are already entered into the contest!
All listeners are welcome to participate, regardless of the country you live in (as long as airsoft is currently legal in your country). We’ll contact the winner, and if you live in an area with airsoft restrictions we will modify the gun to comply with your country’s laws.
