News

News: Brought to you this week by the “Roving Airsoft Reporter” Conner B!!!!!

- Airsoft GI is at it again with their custom gun line. This time they have found a way to take some thing that already awesome and make it even better.  The New KWA SR10 + Daniel Defense rail system = Awesomeness!  If you’re in the market for a custom KWA M4, this one is the one to get.

- Modify just announced their new Torus 8mm gearbox shell.  As you know, they previously had a 7mm shell but since the bushing-size ‘arms race” is on, they decided to step it up a notch…er..millimeter.

- Redwolf just came out with a great review of the new KJW GBB M4. Yeah yeah, we know what you are thinking “Not ANOTHER GBB M4!!!!” But considering Tanio Koba designed the rifle, this one has our attention.

- While we’re on the subject of gas M4s; Bomber Custom has made a limited edition M733 GBB.  We think this was the news story Steve was trying to talk about in show 18 when Chris and Jonathan mercilessly pounced as he stumbled.

- Last but not least, because of the rumors that have been spreading lately, Madbull sent their BBs in to be tested for cobalt.  Their results turned out negative…not that they were worried.

- KWA (which seems to be the theme of this show,and that’s a good thing) is dealing with counterfeit guns entering the market, specifically models no longer sold in the US (ie: Glock Pistols).  They are packaged like KWA (but in old designed packaging), look like KWA but are not KWA.  Sadly KWAUSA is seeing customers that purchased these guns come to them for warranty support and are being turned away.  So, if you are shopping for a Glock pistol, and you find a “new” KWA…it’s a good chance it’s fake.

Review

Conner B. pointed us to karMeister’s review of the new KWA G2x mechbox over at the KWA forums.  This is what we like to see from an airsoft company, they recognize issues, take constructive feedback from their customers and react quickly. It’s not a hard business concept to understand, it’s just difficult to master…and it seems KWA USA is doing their share of mastering!

Show #18 is (finally) here and it’s about dang time!!!!! It took us a while to recover from our airsoft hangover from OP:Irene VII, but it was worth it! Aside from the news, tips and advice you crave, we talk about our experiences at Operation Irene…all we can say is WOW!!!!  It was an event to remember.

Good news for show #18, Chris returns to fill the 3rd seat, Mechbox Mechanic fans can rejoice! Even though it took an act of congress to get him away from the tech bench and on the show, it was worth it.

Also in this show; we complete the Frankengun and start the BIG giveaway contest.  Just “fan” the show on Facebook and you are in the running, it’s that easy. ( See below for full details.)

This episode’s shout-out  goes out to the team over at KWA USA, or as Steve calls then…The K-Dub Crew!  It was great hanging out with the KWA guys at Irene, and if you haven’t had a chance to see their new AEG releases, check them out at www.kwausa.com or ask for them at your favorite retailer! We have my eyes on the SR-10…

Show Notes:

News

- Steve has been doing his homework on the new Lithium Iron Phosphate (aka LiFePo4 or” LiFePo”) batteries that are making their way into the airsoft world.  They look to be  a bit safer than the LiPo models that are currently out there…tune in and listen to the discussion.

- Expert listener/reporter Conner B. has another fantastic find for us this show…and it’s a pillow?!?!!?  Oh Yeah, he found a PEQ-15 pillow for sale! Now I just have to find a way to mount this to my SAW.

-We discuss the pros and cons of the current line of Aries AEGs.   Chris has  a particularly interesting opinion on this one, and in turn references an AATV review of their new DSR.

- Chris was drooling over AXI’s Winchester M1892 Lever-Action gas airsoft gun.  “Mayor leggin’-it” is in this season (whatever that means…)

-We discuss the APS-2 based LSRP (cough, Barrett M99, cough) sniper rifle that Evike.com has online, and our personal experiences with it.

-Last but not least, we have a minor correction from Matt at Citadel Airsoft.

You’ll remember them as the Super-Awesome new 60,000 sq/ft indoor site in Worcester, MA we discussed a few shows back. We weren’t sure of the retailer that was partnered with the field at the time of that show, but now we know that it’s the fantastic team at Federal Airsoft.

Oh, while you are there check  out the great gameplay videos and pics up on the site too!
