Jonathan and Steve have made it to the 1 year mark, and have a great show full of news, rumors, questions and reviews…  And if you are looking for the video version, it’s coming soon.  They had been delaying this post as we are still working out the video kinks, but we wanted to get the post and audio up and not keep you waiting.  Keep checking back as they’ll have the video version very soon.

Patches: You better hurry if you have been holding out, the store has less than 10 sets left.  Once they are gone, they are gone… and there will be new designs in their place.

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

Show Notes:

News:

1. The “PimpMyGun” site has a new version out , and it has ton of new models and options.  We still find ourselves spending hours at a time there building our next AEG or just wasting time…  Thanks a bunch Dr. Noob!

2. EBairsoft.com has something every Modern Warfare 2 fan would want on the field, a Task force 141 fleece jacket; just like SOAP and Roach wear on the winter missions. No news on price or availability just yet, as it’s still coming soon.

3. The WE H&K 416 is finally available for order at redwolfairsoft.com. And it sold out as fast as it went up…here’s the link so you can see what you missed out on.

4. SRC has their 2010 catalog out now and a few things caught our eye.  They have GBB Mp5s, AKs and G36s on the way, have upgraded their mechboxes (Gen 3) and (If we’re reading it right) have a V2 compatible CO2 M4 series. Check it out here, but be warned it’s a HUGE download.

5.  The Socom Gear version 2 Barrett is the next generation of their affordable M82 replica,  and is available for preorder at Redwolf.  It looks like there are many improvements over the first version, but a bigger price comes along with it as well.  But, you get a signed letter from Mr. Barrett himself!

6. Classic Army is finally back at making their M24’s. But, they are now the “enhanced version” which are shooting much harder out of the box (440-460 FPS)!  Looks like AirsoftGI has them ready to order now.

As always, a BIG thanks to our Roving Airsoft Reporters this week:

- Alex Kong (aka the Canadian RAR), Ryan Limpus, and Eric Fine

Review

If you are looking for a new AEG to add to your arsenal,you should keep the KWA KM16 SR-12 on the lop of your list.  Jonathan and Steve take a look at this high-end AEG that sports LiPo ready internals, a machined 12” rail system and 420+ fps out-of-the-box performance.  Listen in and see why they both agree that this DMR is definitely worth the $395 price tag.

Airsoft Vocabulary

This show’s word is: Clearsofter.

Basically it’s anyone that rolls out to the local field or backyard with nothing more than a clear airsoft gun from the local discount chain store…but it could also double for anyone that shoots the cheaper clear colored bbs if you want to stretch the meaning.

While it can be mistaken as a broad derogatory label for a new player, it’s more of a general classification of a player in the early life-cycle of airsoft…and trust us, we’ve been sent packing back to respawn by our share of clearsofters.

Listener Segment

1. Robert Irwin (RAR) writes in: Since it’s year end, I wanted to share my top 3 from 2009:  My number one was the groundzero weekender ‘09. My second would be the release and purchase of the AGM sten gun. Lastly since I started in December 08 this has been my first full year of airsoft so that is also brilliant.

2. Listener Andrew sent us a great music video for anyone who likes guns, and you have got to watch it all the way through to the end for the really heavy artillery. The artist’s site can be found here.

3. RAR Alex writes:  Hey guys I was listening to you guys talk about the blow back on the G36k (Tokyo Marui) and how it can’t be disabled. But I was watching the Redwolf video on how to disassemble the gun and looked closer at the blow back. Don’t quote me on this but it looks like you can disable the blowback. Also he sent us some really funny pics…we’ll get them p on the facebook page ASAP.

Jonathan and Steve return for another exciting show full of news, rumors, questions and reviews… and this time they have wandered into uncharted territory;  Web Video. Lets see how many computer monitors they break when their disfigured faces pop up on screens around the world.

Don’t forget, patch orders are open for anyone anywhere in the world. So, if you are outside the United States, and have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to get your patch,  now’s your chance! And you better hurry if you have been holding out, there are only a few sets left.  Once they are gone, they are gone… and there will be new designs to take their place.

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?

4. NL Airsoft has launched their own [NL]Airsoft.com video channel! They are accepting movies from Vimeo, YouTube and Google Video and, you can upload movies yourself! Submit your favourite movies now!

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…
