Shout Outs

1. Yosser of Yosser’s airsoft Oddesy sent this one in as a way to help with the lost grenade pin issue we mentioned last show, and we have to give him and his blog a huge thanks!

2. Operation Eagle Claw - Colorado's first urban multi day airsoft event coming June 24-26, 2011 (PS, it's been postponed since we recorded the show.)

3. “The Worst Airsoft Team” in NE Florida/Jacksonville and their awesome coffee nights...just don’t try to figure out what their acronym is...you might regret it.

4. And...A huge thanks to Griffin, our big contribuitor this show!  

We have just 5 of the frog patches left. Head over to the store before you miss out on this run!  And, we have new patches en route...and just in time for the summer!

Show Notes

News:

1. Burst Wizard has Dean connector option now  for $3 dollars more per unit (over the $39.99 US price). Sure beats soldering your own on.

2. Jag Precision is proud to present Gearbox Simulator. Virtually build the ultimate airsoft V.2 gearbox Free on iTunes!!!!  Create hundreds of variations to find the perfect setup. Whether you are building a high speed, high torque, or setup made for high durability, this app will help you find the right combination of parts you’ll need. It's a touch buggy now, but it's still a cool idea...plus it's FREE.

3. Raptors Airsoft have added a video to their Guide To Airsoft AEG Springs.  if you every wondered what a variable pitched spring was, then thsi is the answr you've been waiting for.

4. Airsoft Surgeon Redcat  ---  Marui Magic Perfected for the wallet busting price of $1466 US!  Limcat slide, 2011 upper frame and blazing red frame; this flashy piece is not one for subtlety. The slide design is one of the newer varieties added to the Airsoft Surgeon repertoire towards then end of 2010; a CNC Aluminium job with a striking design almost cathedral like ribs with teeth like strips

.... heck who are we kidding, at this price it better take out our trash and walk the dog.

5. Marui Strike Warrior - Still Marui magic like the story above, but for a much more attainable $161.  And did we mention it has a meat grinder front end?  Stapleguntastic!

6. Cactus Hobbies Premium Masks And finally, Popularairsoft.com has a great story on the newCactus Hobbies Premium line of masks.  They come in 3 flavors:  the Templar from hellgate in Green Blue and Gold,  the Elliot 40D with 3 different flame color choices, and Snake Eyes from GI Joe. You can pre-order them over at evike.com for $89.99 US, with an arrival date of sometime in April 2011… And now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

Airsoft Vocabulary

Griffin teaches us the linguistic side of airsoft with the word of the show:

Airhard:  [air'-hahrd] - noun

1. Players that use super-upgraded GBB M4s, play the rain, diving in the mud, screaming "We can't let the Tangos cross this bridge!!!",  planting claymores, throwing grenades, 3-day games, yelling "Caesar, we, who are about to die, salute you." and "Soft contact with OPFOR- 2 mikes ago, 1 click south.".

The chararistic trait is playing games were you need to locate a bomb, transport engineers to the bomb, allow them to diffuse it, plant it in enemy base, arm it, and exfil.

Reviews

We had to cut the reviews of the Lonex magazine and GasCan from this show due to time, but fear not.  We have them ready for #46 in a few weeks.
