Show Notes:

News:

1. Tokyo Marui has finally shipped out their new L96 Sniper rifle, and it comes in both Green and Black flavors.  The good news: PDI is already pumping out upgrade parts. The bad news, the internals are not compatible with any other Marui (or other brand) rifle.

2. VFC has announced their PEQ-15 replica, and while it doesn’t double as a battery holder; it is a very faithful reproduction.  Oh yeah…it has a functional laser and flashlight!!!!

3. Real Sword has their new Dragunov SVD out for preorder, and this thing looks SWEET!  They even throw in spare parts, just in case you need them!  Now that’s planing ahead.

4. G&P released an ELCAN scope for a great price, and was subsequently snapped up everywhere within a few days.  At around $50US, it’s a sweet deal.

5. We talk about P-force’s new Bio BBs that really seem to break the barrier in biodegradability.  You can see the pics and info here.

Reviews:

We talk about the new KWA MP7, and give it GREAT marks!!!!   Listen in as we talk about this amazing GBB Machine Pistol.

We got a chance to check out the new convertable 1 to 2 point sling from Sniper Pro Shop – The Tactical Operator Sling.  If you are in the market for a new sling, and are searching for a real-steel option…  If you are looking to get one, you can find them at www.nashvilleairsoft.com

Listener Segment:

1. Listener Hadley saw this new product, a “Aliens-like” team tracking device.  If this is a real piece of hardware, we want one!

2. Steve really wants the Friday the 13th Jason hockey airsoft mask from ebairsoft.com.  We’ll keep looking for the release.

3. Looks like you guys found the elusive Flat Dark Earth paint from show #19…A big thanks to Gavin for tracking it down.

News

News: Brought to you this week by the “Roving Airsoft Reporter” Conner B!!!!!

- Airsoft GI is at it again with their custom gun line. This time they have found a way to take some thing that already awesome and make it even better.  The New KWA SR10 + Daniel Defense rail system = Awesomeness!  If you’re in the market for a custom KWA M4, this one is the one to get.

- Modify just announced their new Torus 8mm gearbox shell.  As you know, they previously had a 7mm shell but since the bushing-size ‘arms race” is on, they decided to step it up a notch…er..millimeter.

- Redwolf just came out with a great review of the new KJW GBB M4. Yeah yeah, we know what you are thinking “Not ANOTHER GBB M4!!!!” But considering Tanio Koba designed the rifle, this one has our attention.

- While we’re on the subject of gas M4s; Bomber Custom has made a limited edition M733 GBB.  We think this was the news story Steve was trying to talk about in show 18 when Chris and Jonathan mercilessly pounced as he stumbled.

- Last but not least, because of the rumors that have been spreading lately, Madbull sent their BBs in to be tested for cobalt.  Their results turned out negative…not that they were worried.

- KWA (which seems to be the theme of this show,and that’s a good thing) is dealing with counterfeit guns entering the market, specifically models no longer sold in the US (ie: Glock Pistols).  They are packaged like KWA (but in old designed packaging), look like KWA but are not KWA.  Sadly KWAUSA is seeing customers that purchased these guns come to them for warranty support and are being turned away.  So, if you are shopping for a Glock pistol, and you find a “new” KWA…it’s a good chance it’s fake.

Review

Conner B. pointed us to karMeister’s review of the new KWA G2x mechbox over at the KWA forums.  This is what we like to see from an airsoft company, they recognize issues, take constructive feedback from their customers and react quickly. It’s not a hard business concept to understand, it’s just difficult to master…and it seems KWA USA is doing their share of mastering!

Tech Tip /Frankengun Giveaway!!!!

The day has finally arrived!  The awesome Echo1 Frankengun is going to a new home!!!

We’re kinda sad to see it go. It is an amazing airsoft rifle but alas…it belongs to you guys!!!   Since this was our first contest, we wanted to make sure that the loyal listeners had a fair shot at the giveaway, so we kept it a bit under wraps.

No major advertising, no huge press release!  And now we picked a winner at random from our Facebook Fans!!!!   We’ve reached out to the winner, and they had 48 hours to respond.  after the 2nd try, we have a winner!  Check out our Facebook page for more info.

We intentionally didn’t advertise the contest on any major news site or forum to make sure that you guys and gals (the loyal listeners) had a fair shot at the gun! See, we really care about ya…
