Bruce of BB2K Airsoft got his hands on the latest gas shotgun from Tokyo Marui, the KSG, for this video review... "The Kel-Tec KSG is a very innovative and compact pumpaction shotgun. Thanks to the bullpup and the twin-tube magazine it is only 660mm long but still has a capacity of 12 + 1 shot. Tokyo Marui has taken the KSG and built an impressive Airsoft."
Brian Holt of Team Blacksheep writes about his experience with the Fox Airsoft Mystery Box and Gun Giveway... "Fox Airsoft in Parker, Colorado is offering a great deal on a mystery box! These limited time offer mystery boxes are focused for the Airsoft Techs to help them rebuild or upgrade their rifles or sell/trade the parts they might not need and still make a profit in the long run!
We are big fans of Airsoft Mystery Boxes! (videos from past ones linked on the bottom of the page).
Here is a box I got from them and lets see what $100 got me!"

Redbeard Combatives does a comparison of airsoft and sims as tools for tactical training. An interesting video looking into airsoft as as training tool... "Any tool you use for training has to be used properly. Otherwise it devolves into a game and you've lost the training benefit of it."
RandomTrashy reviews the Samson 3x Magnifier which he pairs with the Yukon Short Dot and other optics... "The Samson 3.5x magnifier and base combination. This system features the rotary actuated mount base and patented push button flip-to-side action. The Samson 3.5x magnifier features clear crisp high quality glass with excellent color preservation characteristics. The Samson 3.5x magnifier was specifically designed to meet the demands of high level operators and law enforcement professionals. At 35mm the magnifier accommodates a larger range of optics with greater light transmission and reduced edge distortion. If your mission profile calls for rapid transition between CQB and medium distance target engagement look no further than the Samson 3.5x magnifier and QR combination. You can own the best glass and the toughest flip to side mount on the market."

He makes a list of the top 5 real steel guns that he saw at the SHOT Show that he wants to have airsoft versions of for this RWTV episode...

Video footage from the Swamp Sniper showing a sniper/DMR gameplay with Jet of DesertFox Airsoft... "Airsoft Sniper DMR Gameplay with the Swamp Sniper and Jet Desert Fox in the swamps at Ballahack Airsoft Field for Elite Force Day. I'm using what I believe is the best stock airsoft dmr sniper rifle, the Limited Edition HK G28. Check out our story as the day unfolds."
More and more airsoft players are making upgrades with their battery connectors, transitioning from the default Tamiya connectors to the Deans (T-Connectors). Advantages cited are usually lower resistance and cooler batteries that translate into better run times and performance. ICS Airsoft shows you how to connect one to your ICS AEGs.
Photos released by PolarStar Airsoft on their upcoming product, the Modular Regular System... "Some up close looks at our upcoming Modular Regulator System (MRS). The MRS stands 3 inches tall making it roughly the same size as your standard UFA and features an integrated tournament lock and on/off valve so the system can be depressurized before removing it from the tank."
Another video from the Gun Gamers when they visited the SKWAirsoft/Zoxna booth during the SHOT Show 2017, and they check out the Secutor Rudis and Gladius Series Pistols... "E House and Andre stopped by the Zoxna booth at SHOT Show 2017 to check out the Secutor brand Rudis and Gladius series of airsoft handguns."
We are starting to hear more about the Lancer Tactical M4 ARC (Advanced Recon Carbine) Series. So what are the unique selling points, if there are, of these AEG series? Here is Airsoft GI with a video on the AEG series... "Internally, the gun features Lonex's performance gearbox with upgraded, aftermarket components. The rifle features Lonex's Original Gear Set that has been constructed out of high quality steel and heat treated for durability. The piston is constructed out of a high density polycarbonate material with steel teeth that are designed to mesh properly with the gear teeth for continuous reliability and performance. The piston head is constructed out of a polycarbonate material and ported for maximum air seal. The benefit of having this type of piston head results in a longer lasting assembly over other piston heads made out of a weak plastic construction. The cylinder is made out of aluminum and is Teflon coated for maximum air seal, the cylinder head and air nozzle are also constructed out of a more dense polymer material.
In conclusion, Lancer Tactical has done an excellent job, in collaboration with Lonex, providing a beautiful work of art while still providing the airsoft gun at an affordable price. High performance and affordability can't get any better than this. These airsoft guns are sure to be a game changer on the field from the new to the more experienced airsoft player."
Team Blacksheep posts the news release from Revision Military about the sting operation that took place with their aid during the SHOT Show 2017 and the SnowSports Industries America (SIA) against distributors of alleged counterfeit products or imitations of Revision products. Multiple arrests were made including the boss of Lancer Tactical.
"This week, Revision again aided law enforcement in two successful sting operations against alleged counterfeit eyewear distributors. This is the second consecutive year that Revision has aided in a significant sting operation. This year, Revision, working in conjunction with the Dearborn and Ohio County Prosecutor’s Office in Indiana, aided in the execution of sting operations at two separate trade show events—on January 18th at SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada and January 26th at the SnowSports Industries America (SIA) Snow Show in Denver, Colorado—resulting in multiple arrests.
Warrants were issued for owners of two companies: Airsoft Wholesaler, Inc. (a California-based company trading as “Lancer Tactical”) and Guangzhou Yijia Optical Technique Co. Ltd. (a company based in Guangzhou, China trading as “PTide”). Both companies are accused of selling unauthorized counterfeit versions of Revision Military’s Desert Locust® goggles, and “Lancer Tactical” is also accused of selling imitation versions of Revision Military’s Bullet Ant® goggles. Revision has tested samples of products distributed by these companies and has verified that the counterfeit goggles from both manufacturers fail ANSI testing, EN166 anti-fog testing, MIL-PRF-32432 abrasion testing, and have V50 ballistic values well below Revision product standards.
Changqing Chen (aka Chang Chen), co-owner of “Lancer Tactical” was arrested on the tradeshow floor at SHOT Show in Las Vegas; the other co-owner, Changying Chen (aka Lily Chen), is still at large. The representatives of “PTide”—owner Chen Jiajun (aka Jiajun Chen) and sales manager Zhang Ping (aka Ping Zhang)—were both arrested on the SIA tradeshow floor in Denver. All four individuals face six felony charges: corrupt business influence, conspiracy to commit corrupt business influence, theft, conspiracy to commit theft, counterfeiting, and conspiracy to commit counterfeiting."

RetroArms got an update for all customers and fans on their CNC'd airsoft products... "We are back with some fresh news. A lot of you maybe now asking, if we are still sleeping during this long winter. We were working on some great things and we want to also reply on your questions. First big deal is that we want to focus on manufacturing outer parts of airsoft replicas and some of our inner parts will be removed from our offer. All of these parts will be in sale section and they will be no longer manufactured.
Our CNC magazines made a lot feedback from you, some of them were good, some of them not. We are preparing to manufacture our own polymer magazines, but we needed first to make prototypes for testing. We made them by ourselves without need of 3D printer, because the quality of product would not match with the reality. But a lot of you wanted these CNC magazines in mass production, so we decided to make them also from EN AW 7075 dural (aluminum) in 11 color variations. We need to test them properly before release. All of these first magazines will be for AR15 (M4) airsoft replicas. In first wave spring powered (low/mid-caps) and lately rotary hi-caps. Price of these magazines is not ready yet
Colored anodizing. In the end of last year, we changed supplier for surface anodizing. In this state we are happy with new one, we have offer of 8 colors (silver, black, yellow, orange, red, blue, light blue and green) and soon there will be three more (gold, grey and bronze). Because we use EN AW 7075 dural (aluminum) which is not possible to anodize, we need to count with some limitations, more of it here. Answer why we anodize almost everything is here.
We also started to sell colored gearboxes version II., that are requested a lot."

Footage from the Brain Exploder about this "football-style hit" during an airsoft game... "Playing on a crowded day can be frustrating but it can get right down dangerous. Luckily everything turned out ok in this case and we can have some fun with it but it could have gone much worse.
Shoutout to my buddy Lucas for taking the hit like a pro and walking it off we hung out afterwards and he seem to be doing well but I'm not a doctor."
