The story of Stolen Valor in airsoft rears its very ugly head again. We are seeing postings on Facebook of an individual who has been claiming to be a U.S. Army Ranger exposed to be a fraud by someone who is a retired Ranger himself. We're still looking into the issue but for now here is Unicorn Leah and Jet DesertFox, airsoft's first couple, talk about the issue.
One of the biggest airsoft events with the not-so-tactical name took place last 19-21 August 2016 in Sokolov, Czech Republic, just near the border with Germany. Over 1,800 players took part in Operation BeerZone 8 where they went into some airsoft action during the day, and barley juice action after the game. Here is the first part of their video highlights by GsP Airsoft.
Many airsoft players always prefer their gearboxes to be rear-wired as much possible so they can use their buttstocks as battery compartments. ICS Airsoft got another video in their ICS Class Series where they show you how to rear wire their Transform4 Electric Blowback Series.
Diles46 checks out the a new airsoft field in Missouri called "The Rock". Too bad it's not like Alcatraz Island as it is a rock quarry but definitely a place for airsoft players in the state... "The new field in Missouri, The Rock, is IMHO, Airsoft at it's best. Awesome and unique field with great, purpose built buildings laid out perfectly inside a friggin' rock quarry! Lots of fun and ran by a solid and experienced crew. A definite "destination spot for anyone within this part of the USA."

In this video by Southern California Tactical Airsoft, they feature these nicely designed Hi-Capa GBB Pistols from Armorer Works... "Armorer Works newest release with the best features you'll ever look for on an pistol. It features a customized, ported, lighter, skeletonized HI-CAPA slide, hammer, and trigger. The gun also comes pre-assembled with a full metal striker head with integrated lower accessory rail for an aggressive look.
Zenitco announced on Facebook the PR-1 Cap for 24mm AK Threads for easier maintenance for AK users... "Introducing a small, yet convenient tool to have for regular rifle maintenance. The PR-1 cap attaches to any 24mm AK thread on one side, and the other accepts any standard plastic bottle-neck. This cap simplifies cleaning and has been called an invaluable tool by customers for those that do not have a separate workspace or perform weapon maintenance at home.
For those that need it, this cap is now available and in serial production.
Personally, I have never listened to as many rave reviews for one product in such a short time as I have for this. I hope others find it useful.
Editor's Note: This is not a makeshift suppressor kit and attempting to use it in such a capacity may be hazardous to the user's health, and depending on local laws, illegal. This item was made after multiple requests and is very popular among civilian shooters in the Russian Federation and the Czech Republic. Plus, a plastic bottle won't do anything to stifle the sound of a 7.62 or 5.45. ;)

Mancraft sent in news last week that the Mancraft Air Stock Support MK1 or M.A.S.S. is now on pre-order.

Tang of Jag Precision gives you tips in buying used airsoft guns... "Do you see a lot of deals online or in boneyard sections of stores? How do you tell if it's a great deal or one you should avoid? Tang has an old Tokyo Marui AEG picked up used off Ebay. We're going to show you some common misconceptions about what makes a good deal for airsoft and why sometimes it's more expensive to fix a 'project gun' rather than buying something new."
Find out what makes the Dominator International DM870 Shotgun, available at RedWolf Airsoft, is a realistic airsoft shotgun in this RWTV review... "There were many shotguns that have come before where they have tried to push the boundaries between airsoft and real steel. While many have come close, nothing has blurred the lines quite as much as the Dominator International DM870. This week Marck shows us close to the real thing this airsoft shotgun is."
We continue with the Stolen Valor issue that has struck once again in the U.S. Airsoft community, as those who are in the know have worked hard to ensure that no posers should be making false claims about being in the service or served in certain units, especially elite ones, to get respect. Unicorn Leah and Jet DesertFox have an update on this.
The Ranger Green version of the D3CRX Chest Rig from Haley Strategic is now in stock... "The NEW Disruptive Environments™ Chest Rig X has been redesigned to improve comfort, storage capabilities and work seamlessly with D3CR accessories. The X harness was added for comfort and ultimate adjustability. The addition of 2 Multi-Mission pouches allows the rig to be more streamlined and carry mission essentials where they count. The full field of velcro allows the rig to be outfitted with the latest D3CR accessories as well as assist in the full contact connection with plate carriers. Just like it's predecessor, it is designed and optimized for work in urban, vehicle, rural and other confined settings.
Driven by mission versatility.
When used as a stand alone, the platform is low profile enough to be worn fully loaded and not print on a normal/loose fit jacket or sweatshirt. When used on a armor platform with a quick release system, such as SwiftClips™, it can be attached or stowed in seconds, giving the end user the versatility to transition from low vis to high vis or vice versa.
The rifle magazine pouches accept AR type magazines as well as AK 7.62 x39mm and 5.45 x 39 magazines. The Multi-Mission Pouches accept 1911, Glock, Sig, M&P, XD and other standard double or single stack pistol magazines, as well as many handheld lights, multi-tools, and 37mm/40mm grenades.
The rig intentionally does not include a radio or dedicated full size medical pouch so no matter the posture, essentials such as communications and medical kits can remain on the end user at all times."
Team Blacksheep does a review on the airsoft version of the Russian SR-3M "Vikhr" AEG as made by AY. We don't know if this is compatible in using the VAL and VSS Vintorez magazines done by other manufacturers, but surely this is one of the more affordable versions in the market... "Checking out the unique SR-3M rifle that is not really seen on the field. Makes for a great CQB rifle in the AK realm."
