This show Steve lets his rage loose on a recent theft of an airsoft gun at the local field, and we think it’s very well founded.

Listener Segment

2. Mason Writes in and asks out thoughts on safety and fun around using a rubber knife rather than the “bang-bang” rule, and we chime in.

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?
