Jonathan and Steve return for another great show stuffed full of news, advice, questions and reviews…  And a Rap????    Listener (and music producer) Mr. Silence whipped together a Bioval rap for the show, and we HAD to share it with you (don’t forget to listen to the very end for the entire song). Head over to his site to hear his other work, and tell him thanks while you are there!

Oh yeah, Jonathan finally found a way to get the international orders going for the show patches. So, if you are outside the United States, and have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to get your patch.  Now’s your chance! Plus, if you are wanting one as a stocking stuffer, you need to place your US orders by Dec 13, and international orders by December 5th!

Informative with a touch of humor, they break down the airsoft news, tech tips and advice you want to hear!

Show Notes:

News:

1.  If you live in the Long Island, New York area, you are in luck.  StrikeForce Sports is opening a 15,600 sq/ft. indoor arena in January 2010. Complete with CCTVs, a waiting room with video games, concessions and a pro shop…it looks like it’s going to be fun.

2.  Steve found a great new gadget for you LiPo fans out there, voltage meter for your Lithium Battery. Check it out at Airsoft Global.

3.  If you are a geek like us (and I’m guessing you are if you are listening then the USB grenade over at ThinkGeek.com is for you!  Check out the Zombie Brain Hoodie and Crowbar Bottle Opener while you are there.

4.  G&P has released their own upgraded Masada AEG, and they sold out as fast as they appeared. If you want to see all the details, and drool over what you missed out on, check it out here.

5.  TAD Gear got hacked…This explains why I had my # card stolen in September (no lie, I had to get over $200 is charges reversed) The bottom line is that if you purchased anything from them from August 6th, 2009 thru Nov 9th, 2009, you better call your card company and get your number changed. Big thanks to Andrew W. for pointing this out to us.

6.  G&G released their 2010 catalog (Thanks Ben for the heads up), and highlights include FNC, F2000, a few new L85s, and EBR and a LR300.

7.  Ben’s been busy and also pointed us to a new camo pattern due for release in January 2010; called A-TACS.  Check it out here.

Review:

Listener Ryan L. sent us a great review of the A&K M60 Mk43 AEG. Bottom line, if you are looking for a unique support weapon that will help you stand out from the sea of SAWs this is the gun for you.  Plus at around $300 US, it’s priced right.

Listener Segment:

1. Xandman99 sent in his recollections from Op: Irene 7, good times!

2. Wulfie sent us his own “frankengun” pictures, complete with a masterkey setup….Uh….wow…yeah…. Check it out over on our Facebook page

3. Friend George from The Score, sent us a great link to the Onion’s coverage of the leaked Modern Warfare 3 trailer.  Now this is REALISTIC MilSim!

Airsoft Advice:

Mike from Ft. Benning GA. writes in asking about cold weather and airsoft, and what we as players need to do to prepare ourselves and our AEGs for the cold weather.  Steve and Jonathan answer the call for help with some unique advice.

Well, Well, Well…We’re back for yet another Airsoftology podcast, and we have a very full house for this show.  Tim Mays and Jon Sparks join us to talk about the Airsoft Operators Challenge, the $500 cash prize event taking place during Op:Invading Winter.  Sam returns to help with our review of the KWA MP7, and Steve talks about an amazing new rifle sling from Sniper Pro Shop.

Show Notes:

News:

1. Tokyo Marui has finally shipped out their new L96 Sniper rifle, and it comes in both Green and Black flavors.  The good news: PDI is already pumping out upgrade parts. The bad news, the internals are not compatible with any other Marui (or other brand) rifle.

2. VFC has announced their PEQ-15 replica, and while it doesn’t double as a battery holder; it is a very faithful reproduction.  Oh yeah…it has a functional laser and flashlight!!!!

3. Real Sword has their new Dragunov SVD out for preorder, and this thing looks SWEET!  They even throw in spare parts, just in case you need them!  Now that’s planing ahead.

4. G&P released an ELCAN scope for a great price, and was subsequently snapped up everywhere within a few days.  At around $50US, it’s a sweet deal.

5. We talk about P-force’s new Bio BBs that really seem to break the barrier in biodegradability.  You can see the pics and info here.

We talk about the new KWA MP7, and give it GREAT marks!!!!   Listen in as we talk about this amazing GBB Machine Pistol.
