Details: Published on Wednesday, 17 March 2010 01:00; Written by Jonathan

We announce the new HD video show as well as the move to be a part of airsoftchannel.com, Jonathan reviews the tooth-saving Bitter End lower facemask, and Steve rants about the US Customs seizure of gas rifles.

Well, well, well… we meet again. And we’re glad you returned for another episode of Airsoftology Talk.

This show we cover news from the web, Steve rants about a current story hitting the US, we review the face-saving Bitter End lower face mask, and we answer your questions in the listener segment.

We have two BIG announcements this show:

- First, We have our first real sponsor…the kind that pays! We welcome Nashville Airsoft as our first! And a contest, listen to the show for all the details.

- Second, we have a new home on the web. Chances are that you are reading this on the original Airsoftology site, but in a week or so we’re redirecting this link over to our new home: www.airsoftchannel.com But keep it a secret, we’re not officially announcing it until them. Go take a peek: We can trust you, right?

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

Review

We take a close look at the new lower facemask offering from Bitter End… You may know them from their amazing mesh goggles that are used worldwide, and I’m sure you’ll be seeing more of them in the years to come. In fact, Steve liked the mask so much; he wore it for the better part of the show.

Listener Segment

1. Andrew H writes: Hey, I know you all play MW2, so i was wondering if you saw this: when you play the last mission, Endgame, if you look at Soap’s magazines are actually airsoft? they have the little bb feeder hole, not real bullets! Sorta sad on IW’s part, don’t you think?

2. Alex Kong (RAR) writes…have you seen the news floating around about multicam being approved for use in Afghanistan?

3. Matt from VA writes: Hey i have heard that KWA is going to release a AK47 some time soon so i was wondering if this was true or just some fanboy’s dream?
