Jailbreak!
The Wolf lowered the binoculars, a
smile touching his lips. The activity in the prison yard a half-mile
away was exactly as he’d hoped. The guards were changing shift right on
schedule. Predicable fools, he thought. He carefully scanned
the map of the complex one last time, looking for something, anything,
which he might have overlooked. The prison’s tight network of corridors
and cells would be tricky. No matter – he’s selected and hired this
assault team for their skill at infiltration and close-quarters combat.
It would only be a matter of time before his men held in the prison
below were free. The Wolf looked at his watch again, then at the
setting sun. Just about time. . .

AirsoftGI.com has really created a winner
with these budget aeg's. They have some premium accessories like the 12" railed foregrip, crane stock and flip up sights. The DMR also has a full length 6.03 tightbore. As well internally the G&G mechbox
internals with 8mm metal bushings, absolutely perfect shimming and
just the right amount of grease.Overall the fit and feel of these replica's are top notch. Fantastic balance under the magazine, smooth and snappy shot to shot performance and just the right amount of metal. At this point I'd say these are one hard to beat budget aeg series.

The tiny plastic spheres burst in through the doorway, spinning
across the concrete floor with a sound like billiard balls on tile. The
blindingly bright light that sprang from the balls flickered wildly
about the room, like a disco gone mad. The surprised defenders took a
startled step back, their attention diverted for a fatal second by the
madly-rolling lights. That second was all the attackers needed.
Following in upon the heels of their distracters, they moved with swift
precision. The air was filled with the chatter of weapon’s fire.
“HIT” yelled the defenders, signaling the victory of the attacking force . . .

Airsoft Rat
Trap Claymore
By Longbow
After seeing several videos on the rat
trap claymore I thought I would give it a try.
The size of the
claymore is as close as I could get using the Victor Rat Trap. The
real
Claymore is 8.5”X 2”X 3.5”. The unit I built is 9”X
2”X 4”,

So... What is a MOSFET switch?
A MOSFET switch is a solid state
electronic switch that takes the power normally sent through the
trigger switch assembly and instead routes that power through a
Mosfet (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor).
In this way the trigger switch is only
used to send a very low-power signal to the MOSFET switch. The MOSFET
switch then turns the current on and off without any arcing or damage
to the trigger switch and wear is virtually eliminated and its
lifetime is extended indefinitely.

Fist Fire: How We Do What We Do
(Male Perspective)
By Dan Rauscher
Disclaimer: Well, I originally started this review back
in January, but got distracted as I was watching the DVD, and ended up only
finishing the review just now, about 2 or 3 months later. In that time, Isabel wrote her review (no
doubt Rob got tired of waiting for me to write it). So, ADM has already brought you the Female
perspective on the DVD. So, now here’s
the male perspective. Please excuse the stream of consciousness writing
style.Enjoy!

The Detonics Combat Master is a smaller version of the 1911. The slide
is shorter and it has a shorter frame. Another difference is the
profile of the rear sight. The rear sight is not at the back of the
slide, but about an inch and a half forward. Another difference
between the Detonics and the 1911 is the lack of a grip safety on the
Detonics. Due to the shorter frame, and the fact that the main spring
housing is the same length as the 1911s, the space available for a grip
safety is reduced. As such, the area where the grip safety should be
is simply a part that is mounted flush with the rest of the frame.

Y&P Airsoft SOCOM MK23 NBB Gas Replica Pistol

perform with the gas blow back big dogs, but on a budget. I think we
have found your solution. The y&p mk23 SOCOM NBB - non blow back.

bargain. We were able to acquire this one from http://evike.com/.

A Girl and Airsoft by Isabel
As
a child I had a very active imagination. I would spend countless
hours purposefully going from place to place in my house with a black
cape tied around my neck and my mothers cuff like bracelet on my arm.
Leaping from the top of the stair case or the running jump on to the
bed were considered flying. The kitchen was central command from
which all manner of heroics were staged. My fathers prized Texas
instruments calculator, something I was not supposed to be playing
with, was my ultra sophisticated computer. In my minds eye I was the
graceful yet powerful superhero, like Wonder Woman or Isis, tackling
each mission with technical and physical suave and prowess. But
really I was a bit klutzy and would never be mistaken for a super
hero of any kind. But this imagination instilled in me a belief that
I could be those things I wasn't, a belief I still have. This is why
as a girl I now play airsoft.

TAA
– Tactical Airsoft Arena
By Martin

From
the outside, it is an unassuming building in the middle of an
industrial park somewhere in the urban sprawl of the DC suburbs. Only
the green and white sign over the door hints at what takes place
behind the frosted glass windows. However, the experienced airsofter
will immediately notice the occasional stray BB on the ground telling
him or her that they are indeed, in the right place.

I've had numerous conversations with folk over whether or not it's
possible to paint black plastic to look like wood so I thought I'd have
a go! In main this is not a new technique, but I've just extended it to
start with a black base rather than just "aging" an existing woodgrain
effect.
I started out with my TSD Pump
Shotgun...

After
years of, shall we call it, “traveling” to nasty and smelly
foreign lands, We've come to appreciate clean odorless gear,
especially when it's on your buddy next to you. And we can appreciate
the sinking feeling of finding that great set of pouches at the
bottom of that bin in the army navy surplus store that wreaks of
mildew and rot.

When I first got into airsoft and
started working on replica AEGs I noticed that we were using
bushings instead of bearings. I asked the local airsoft gunsmith and
his response was that 6mm bearings just couldn't take any kind of
load or speed without coming apart. At that time there was a very
limited number of 7mm boxes available and they were very expensive.
Years later and 7mm mechboxes are still rare and sometimes expensive.
So I embarked on a quest to find if I could step up my el cheapo ACM
mechboxes to 7mm and install bearings. After multiple attempts here is
what I found worked for me.

always on the lookout for small tools that I can put in my portable,

A monocular for searching the shadows?
The idea of using a monocular to spot the opposition force in the shadows gets me a perplexed
look from most people. They automatically assume that the reason for the monocular is
to only look at things far away.
