Airsoftology Episode #24: “Embedded”

December 15th, 2009

OUCH!!!!!Jonathan and Steve are back for another great show full of news, rumors, questions and reviews…  And Intern Patrick joins us in the 3rd seat.

He’s been a part of the show for a while behind the scenes, and we finally got the little bugger behind the microphone…and he does a darn respectable job.

Oh, and if you couldn’t tell from the photo here, we talk about our friend (and teammate) Lamar and his (now famous) embedded BB nose shot. This is a BB hit that will go down in the airsoft history books.

Oh yeah, Jonathan finally found a way to get the international orders going for the show patches. So, if you are outside the United States, and have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to get your patch.  Now’s your chance! And you better hurry if you have been holding out, we have less than 25 sets left of the original 200 order.  Once they are gone, they are gone… and we’ll have new designs in their place.

Informative with a touch of humor, we break down the news, reviews and questions you want to hear.

Show Notes:

 

News:

1. Some airsoft players are working on a game show,and we like the idea.  It’s called Mission Milsim, and they are pitching it to the Discovery Channel in the US….All the info to help get it off the ground is here.

2. Echo 1 is set to release a new AEG on the 18th of December.  It’s  called the Platinum series; has mostly aluminum parts, shipps in a hard palstic case, has 2 magazines and includes E1’s upgraded gearbox.

3.  The new TM G36K is now available for preorder at Redwolf. Complete with “Enhanced” optics and the recoil shock feature, it looks like Marui is making sure that their presence is still known in the airsoft world.

4. Dreaming of a vacation with your loved one to Hong Kong in 2010 and experiencing an airsoft game in Hong Kong? For every order at WGC Shop during 3 Dec 2009 to 3 Feb 2010, you are entitled one chance at the draw. But there’s a catch: your order has to amount to US$888 or above to gain a chance of winning a pair of round trip tickets. Plus: 8% OFF on EVERYTHING for everyone, and 10 lucky winners get 15% off too! Not bad at all!

5.  The new G2X KWA M4A1 has been announced that it will be on sale at most authorized retaillers this week. The M4A1 CQB and M4 S-System will be joining along side it, as well as the rest of the new lineup that is already out.  Pick yours up at your favorite retailer.

6. From the “better late than never” department:  The Madbull KRISS might just finally be a real product.  We’re holding our breath until the 2010 shot show to see the finished product.7. Have you seen the newest addition to the historical airsoft world?  It’s the PPSH-41, in its full steel and wooden glory. (warning, slow link) It’s also teased in more affordable form on the ebairsoft.com main page.

A big thanks goes out to our Roving Airsoft Reporters this week:

- Eric Fine

- Robert Irwin

- Ryan Limpus

- Tyler Greek

- Tom-843

Review

Listener Tim (no, not our Tim) gives us this this show’s review:  The Real Sword SVD.  Listen in for this great run down on a unique AEG, and head over to noairsoftforoldmen.blogspot.com to read the entire review.

Listener Segment

1. Matej Writes in asking what kind of powder do you use to fill grenades with? Is it a special sort or can you use something home made? And we deliver the answer.

2. Eric writes in with a great Geardo Website….  And we agree.  But now we are spending our time there and getting nothing else done.  Thanks a bunch…

3. Matt writes in for the first time and wanted to tell us about the F.A.S.T. SYSTEM MODEL M4.  For a better visual demonstration of it, here is a quick example from youtube.  A bit pricey, but pretty cool!

December 1st, 2009

Troubadour-2003

Jonathan and Steve return for another great show stuffed full of news, advice, questions and reviews…  And a Rap????    Listener (and music producer) Mr. Silence whipped together a Bioval rap for the show, and we HAD to share it with you (don’t forget to listen to the very end for the entire song). Head over to his site to hear his other work, and tell him thanks while you are there!

Oh yeah, Jonathan finally found a way to get the international orders going for the show patches. So, if you are outside the United States, and have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to get your patch.  Now’s your chance! Plus, if you are wanting one as a stocking stuffer, you need to place your US orders by Dec 13, and international orders by December 5th!

Informative with a touch of humor, they break down the airsoft news, tech tips and advice you want to hear!

Show Notes:

News:

1.  If you live in the Long Island, New York area, you are in luck.  StrikeForce Sports is opening a 15,600 sq/ft. indoor arena in January 2010. Complete with CCTVs, a waiting room with video games, concessions and a pro shop…it looks like it’s going to be fun.

2.  Steve found a great new gadget for you LiPo fans out there, voltage meter for your Lithium Battery. Check it out at Airsoft Global.

3.  If you are a geek like us (and I’m guessing you are if you are listening then the USB grenade over at ThinkGeek.com is for you!  Check out the Zombie Brain Hoodie and Crowbar Bottle Opener while you are there.

4.  G&P has released their own upgraded Masada AEG, and they sold out as fast as they appeared. If you want to see all the details, and drool over what you missed out on, check it out here.

5.  TAD Gear got hacked…This explains why I had my # card stolen in September (no lie, I had to get over $200 is charges reversed) The bottom line is that if you purchased anything from them from August 6th, 2009 thru Nov 9th, 2009, you better call your card company and get your number changed. Big thanks to Andrew W. for pointing this out to us.

6.  G&G released their 2010 catalog (Thanks Ben for the heads up), and highlights include FNC, F2000, a few new L85s, and EBR and a LR300.

7.  Ben’s been busy and also pointed us to a new camo pattern due for release in January 2010; called A-TACS.  Check it out here.

Review:

Listener Ryan L. sent us a great review of the A&K M60 Mk43 AEG. Bottom line, if you are looking for a unique support weapon that will help you stand out from the sea of SAWs this is the gun for you.  Plus at around $300 US, it’s priced right.

Listener Segment:

1. Xandman99 sent in his recollections from Op: Irene 7, good times!

2. Wulfie sent us his own “frankengun” pictures, complete with a masterkey setup….Uh….wow…yeah…. Check it out over on our Facebook page

3. Friend George from The Score, sent us a great link to the Onion’s coverage of the leaked Modern Warfare 3 trailer.  Now this is REALISTIC MilSim!

Airsoft Advice:

Mike from Ft. Benning GA. writes in asking about cold weather and airsoft, and what we as players need to do to prepare ourselves and our AEGs for the cold weather.  Steve and Jonathan answer the call for help with some unique advice.
