2. Charlie 11 has released their new M29A1 airsoft/paintball mortar This thing is a work of art but it comes with a hefty price tag. Who’s to say that you can’t window shop?
3. MAGPUL PTS ACR & MAGPUL PTS/A&K Sportsline Masada news over at Arnies- Very interesting…If this is true, then this is a partnership we would not have predicted. I wonder how the recent clone raids are affecting this new found relationship?

5. There’s a new ACOG 4×32 with scope over at Gunner, and we know what you are thinking. “Not another ACOG!!!!” But this one actually has an illuminated reticle. Considering ACOGs are a dime a dozen nowadays, seeing this one with illumination is a refreshing change.
6. Steve’s mask is out, and it’s about time. Now all he needs is an airsoft chainsaw to complete the look…
