Trying new things is always good in airsoft so you can become a better player as well as being proficient at what you do. The BB Warrior is into trying new things and recommends that you should too... "Today we're discussing why trying new things in airsoft can really help you have a better time on the field by mixing things up."

Airsoftjunkiez are now taking pre-orders for the PolarStar Airsoft MRS Regulator which they are expecting to be ready to shipped to retailers by the end of this month. You can purchase this together with a 42-inch breaded line from them... "Introducing the new Modular Regulator System (MRS) designed and manufactured by PolarStar Airsoft. This ultra compact regulator stands just 3 inches tall and threads directly onto the HPA tank. In so doing it eliminates the need for a separate UFA and keeps your air rig profile to a minimum. What sets this regulator apart from competing models is its integral on/off valve. This enables you to depressurize the system prior to unscrewing it from the tank to elevate wear and possible damage on the tank threads and o-ring.
The regulator can be purchased without a line for those who already own a line and wish to upgrade their regulator, or it can be purchased with our own braided air line. Our air line is 42inch long, super flexible and has a soft braided outer sheath."

Tips from Tactical Rifleman when choosing a handgun for your own use... "Generally most people that are looking to buy their first firearm want to get a handgun for self-defense, after that its for hobby, sport or collecting. First thing I tell everyone is that when looking for one, is that it must be comfortable in the hand when you pick it up. If you don’t like the way it feels then you won’t want to shoot it. The important part of this is that you won’t be familiar with it when/if it ever becomes time that you have to use it.
Some people want to ask about caliber sizes for the handgun and this is a very debatable subject but I say use what you can comfortably manage. Bottom line here is that shot placement is the key."
