Airsoftology Episode #26: “24/7/365″

January 12th, 2010

Open 24 Hours

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.

Show Notes:

News:

1. TLSfx has just released their 3rd gen of their airsoft pyrotechnics line.  They have been cosmetically upgraded to closer resemble real devices, and most have seen the addition of a spoon. And who doesn’t like spoons?

2. The designers over at Ares have been hard at work in the last months of 2009, and have some new airsoft offerings to show for it.  3 new rifles are on the horizon, and are already available for preorder;  The WA2000, PPSH1 and the LMG. Expected delivery date is end of January 2010.

3.  Looks like Marui is at it again, but this time they are breathing new life into some of their aging AEG models.  They have introduced new “High Cycle” versions of the G3 SAS and the MP5A5.  With 25 rps performance from a 8.4v NiMh mini battery, a 500 round magazine, and modest 265fps performance; they pack some serious ROF punch.  Check out Redwolf’s You Tube “Highly Scientific” tests of the new guns here.

4. Classic Army has released their early 2010 new model list, and there are some interesting additions.  Most noteworthy are a pair of Dark Bronze LWRCs, the Vulcan M134-A2 Minigun, and a Mk46 SPW. They should be coming to a retailer near you very soon.

5.  This could be the most expensive airsoft pistol commercially available today; Introducing the Airsoft GI Custom F-Chu Speed Racer. For that price it better shoot the wings off a unicorn at 1000 meters.

6. And the tracking units we talked about a few shows back are finally up for preorder…and you better bring your credit card, ’cause they don’t come cheap.  $490 gets you a pair.

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

- Alex Kong, Mitch Mcguire, Robert Irwin, Ryan Limpus and Eric Fine

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.
