Lack of site updates. Here’s why – 2008 CQB League Registration Imminent

First off, let me apologize.  While I’ve been striving to bring as much timely news and information as possible, this is apparently a one-man show for the time being.  I’ve had some great contributions from people so far, however everything falls on one person’s shoulders at the end of the day.  Mine. So with [ READ MORE ]

Coming Soon – Classic Army CA416 (HK416)

Well, as excited as I was to hear about the upcoming release of Classic Army’s HK416 remake, the CA416, I was again disappointed by a lack of trademarks on the gun. I know, I know – if I want a pretty HK416, I can always get a VFC.  But for once, I’d like my workhorse [ READ MORE ]

Review: Linton LT-6288 Radio

LINTON LT-6288 UHF (420 ~480MHz) I bought it off a eBay retailer, after reading Crunchmeister’s (from Airsoft Canada Forums) thread about a decent radio that I wouldn’t have to shell out a fortune for. NOTE: This is a UHF Radio, there may be some legalities towards it’s usage in your Country. If you wish to contribute info, [ READ MORE ]

MGS4: M4 Custom Project – Final Update

Well, the MGS4: M4 Custom Project is pretty well finished.   I’ve left the wiring to the front for now, although I have all the tools and equipment I need to use a rear-wired Li-Po battery in the buffer tube.  Which is probably the route I’m going – only problem is I’ve had enough offers to buy [ READ MORE ]

Interesting Read: “Toy Soldiers” by Amy Guthrie

A friend sent this my way today.  After giving it a good read, there are a few issues I have with the article, but overall it definitely gives an unbiased and down-to-earth look at our sport from an outsider’s perspective. I particularly thought the part about a 350fps projectile needing to be squeezed out of someone’s [ READ MORE ]

Mad Bull Airsoft – Delta Ring Mod Tool: A solution for WA M4 users.

As many WA GBB M4 users have shortly discovered after purchasing, the Delta ring on the Upper receiver of their expensive little toys is not compatible with many after market modification parts (front-ends).  This is because the Delta ring threading is approximately .3mm thicker on the WA M4. One un-satisfied WA M4 owner tried the Mad [ READ MORE ]

Airsoft Fun – PIMP MY AIRSOFT!

http://dragonflyteam.free.fr/pimpmyairsoft/ Probably the most fun I’ve had with a “dollmaker” web script ever.  I won’t get into my previous engagements with it, but this “Pimp My Airsoft!” site deserves good mention. Above is a sample (albeit a tame one) of something you can create with it.  I re-created my JG HK416 Custom job as a pixel-art GIF. Using [ READ MORE ]

eHobby Asia’s New Storefront

http://www.ehobbyasia.com/ or http://www.shop.ehobbyasia.com/ Shout out goes to “Conscript” on the Airsoft Canada forums for pointing this out to me.  Like many other Canadian Airsofters, I’ve been a long-time customer for eHobby Asia (almost 3 years, I think). It’s great to see them open a full web-side online store, outside the confines of eBay. The site is easy to [ READ MORE ]
