Airsoft Press Release: Toy Gun Rambo - One Man, Many Millions

noreply@blogger.com (Red Denal) — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 13:22:00 +0000

ARCADIA, Calif., Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Airsoft is well known, but ten years ago it was a niche sport. This in large part can be attributed to one man: CEO Kent Wu of Airsplat.com. His story is an example of what happens when you combine a passion for a sport with an unyielding and sharp business sense.

Airsoft guns are different from air guns, rifles, and pellet guns, in that they use 6mm plastic bb's that weigh far less than metal pellets or sabots, and are safe to use. They're great for police training, military simulation, and play. Ten years ago, Airsoft had a small US presence because they were expensive to produce and ship from Asia. Kent was an avid player of the sport, but was unsatisfied with buying them. Usually ordering something meant paying a hefty shipping fee for freight from Asia, and waiting months to receive the order. On top of that there was always the issue of potentially having the entire shipment confiscated by US Customs. Not that Airsoft guns are illegal, but sometimes over zealous CBP agents would be unclear on the regulations and seize it.

Fresh out of college, Kent saw an opportunity. He took his $5,000 in savings, rented a 200 sq foot office space and started AirSplat.com, one of the first ever US based distributors for Airsoft. Working from a one man operation (sales, distribution, and order processing), the company quickly outgrew its initial confines to its current headquarters in Arcadia. Now it's grown into the largest Airsoft retailer this side of the Pacific. Kent and his company essentially paved the way for this sport's popularity in the United States. His company is the only US based retailer to deal directly with manufacturers, getting the best prices which turn into savings for customers.

Just looking at the public reports, Airsplat has steadily grown to a staff of 35 and pulled in $14.6 million in revenue last year, according to the INC. 500/5000 listing. Kent is no stranger to awards either, as this is his second year in this lineup, and amongst others he has received (www.airsplat.com/awards.htm). He's regularly on the lookout to expand his company's presence in the marketplace. Airsplat has donated to Airsoft charity events, sponsored Airsoft teams, and has created a new online video review series –Airsplat On Demand - where experts give reviews and technical insight to Airsplat products. Airsplat's unique marketing methods and business practices have created a loyal and lasting customer base.

Airsoft News: PNP Reiterates Gun Ban Includes Airsoft Guns

noreply@blogger.com (Red Denal) — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 02:45:00 +0000

The chief of the Metro Manila police reminded the public that airsoft guns or gun replicas have been included in the election period’s gun ban.

Director Roberto Rosales, chief of the The National Capital Region Police Office, urged airsoft gun owners and enthusiasts, in a statement, to refrain from carrying their guns so as not to violate Commission on Elections Resolution 8714, which included airsoft guns and gun replicas in the list of items covered by the gun ban.

He advised them to just leave their guns in places where they practice or play their hobby.

He said two men identified as Tristan Castro and Jonas Eslao were nabbed on Sunday morning for carrying a .45 caliber airsoft pistol and a gun replica at the checkpoint in Ortigas Center, Pasig City.

Earlier in the day, the NCRPO reported that three policemen, a member of the Philippine Navy and a government official were among the 11 people arrested in the first few hours of the implementation of the total gun ban on Sunday, the National Capital Regional Police Office said.

PO1 Aldrin Almanzan, SPO1 William Ronquillo, Navy's S1BM Michael Basahan, who all wore civilian clothes but were carrying their service firearms were arrested at a checkpoint put up in Las Piñas City, NCRPO spokesperson Rommel Miranda said.

Another policeman PO1 Dennis Quinto and Lawyer Tecson John Lim, the provincial administrator of Quirino province were also held on Sunday in Quezon City and Manila respectively.

“We won't spare our own men in this campaign. So, all those who plan to violate the (gun ban) must think twice,” Miranda said.

The NCRPO has set up 70 checkpoints in Metro Manila as the nationwide gun ban took effect ahead of the May 2010 elections. During an inspection, Miranda said Rosales reminded the police personnel manning the checkpoints to be courteous and respect human rights of the motorists and the public.

Meanwhile, Rosales also appealed to election candidates to file their application for Temporary Security Detail (TSD) at the Joint Security Control Center soon to allow them to employ security personnel with a legally issued firearm.

As of Sunday afternoon, 26 applications had been approved and 131 applications were still pending for approval.

Airsoft News: Airsoft rifle looks real; Port Angeles neighbors alarmed

noreply@blogger.com (Red Denal) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 01:04:00 +0000

PORT ANGELES -- A Port Angeles man unintentionally caused a scare by playing with a fake rifle while with a group of friends near an apartment building Thursday.

Five Port Angeles police units blocked the apartments near the intersection of C Street and Lauridsen Boulevard after a 9-1-1 caller reported a man or a group of people brandishing a "rifle of sorts" at the back of the apartments, Deputy Chief of Police Brian Smith said.

"Based on the initial information, it appeared to be something that looked like a semiautomatic rifle," Smith said.

After surrounding the building, police talked with the men, who were all adults.

No one was cited.

"It was a very realistic duplication of an SKS rifle," Smith said.

The Airsoft replica had a 30-round magazine -- identical to the look-alikes police use for training. The gun was heavy and lifelike with sturdy metal and a wooden stock.

"It was an extremely realistic semiautomatic rifle that any reasonable person would think was a functioning weapon," Smith said.

Fake guns typically have orange caps that distinguish them from a live weapon. This gun did not have an orange cap.

It's not illegal to have a replica gun, but it is illegal to point or brandish one in a threatening manner, Smith said.

"It's not a crime if it's not alarming people," he said.

Smith said the people playing with the gun "didn't have a lot of situational awareness."

"We spent some time talking to them," Smith said.

Airsoft News: Sackett Shows Council Airsoft Guns

noreply@blogger.com (Red Denal) — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 22:48:00 +0000

Sonoma Police Chief Bret Sackett brought his guns to town Wednesday night or, to be precise, he brought them to the City Council meeting, a few steps from his office at the police station, and passed them around the room.

POLICE CHIEF BRET SACKETT holds up a real and fake .40 caliber Glock semi-automatic pistol.
The real pistol is in Sackett's right hand. Robbi Pengelly/Index-Tribune

Sackett had his guns to make a point, albeit not like Billy Joe, the tragic figure in the famous Johnny Cash song who defies his mother, brings his guns to town and is shot dead in a bar. Sackett was there at the request of Councilmember Joanne Sanders who read a recent news story about the police department's intention to crack down on simulated guns. The chief's guns included a 9 mm Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine gun and two .40 caliber, Model 23 Glock semi-automatic pistols, the gun chosen by the FBI as the bureau's official service weapon.

Sackett said the MP5 was the same assault weapon he used as a member of the Sheriff's Department's SWAT Team, the only difference being that the one circulating through the audience fired plastic "AirSoft" BBs instead of bullets. And of the two Glocks he held up to display, one was an AirSoft pistol and one was his own, unloaded, service pistol. The two looked identical, the AirSoft version even having a functional slide and clip release like the real thing.

Sacket told the council that in one survey of law enforcement officers, 14 out of 40 failed to recognize under close examination that an AirSoft gun wasn't the real thing.

Their close resemblance to real weapons poses a clear dilemma for law enforcement officers who have encountered AirSoft weapons on the street and, in the case of a Florida student, responded with deadly consequences. That young man was brandishing an AirSoft gun with the mandatory orange tip painted black and was shot and killed by police.
*
In Sonoma in November, police arrested an El Verano man in a fast food restaurant who brandished an AirSoft gun at a customer, demanding food.

Typical muzzle velocities for AirSoft pistols can exceed 450 feet a second, approaching or even exceeding the speed of real small-caliber ammunition like the .22 short pistol cartridge.

Sackett shared a quote from a children's center in Dayton, Ohio, that children have been treated with AirSoft BBs "in the lung, liver, heart, brain and eye."

He explained that a number of state and city laws forbid the discharge of the guns inside city limits within 500 feet of a home, and that even brandishing one of the guns in a threatening manner is a misdemeanor punishable with a jail term of not less than 30 days.

Airsoft New Arrival: Echo1USA Stag Arms M8A3 - Redesigned

noreply@blogger.com (Red Denal) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:43:00 +0000

Echo 1 revealed the details of their redesigned Stag Arms M8A3...

Just arrived, The completely redesigned Echo1USA Stag Arms M8A3 now features a Crane stock and an 8mm Bearing Gearbox.

Key features include a free floating monolithic style RAS, back up iron sights, and a threaded outer barrel. (Echo 1)

See this videos for more of an Echo1USA Stag Arms M8A3:

Continue reading for other details about Echo1USA Stag Arms M8A3:

The STAG-15 series from ECHO 1 more accurately represents the modern AR type rifle with updated matte black finished receivers which replaced the grey receivers of the older AR rifles. Each receiver is engraved with fully licensed trademarks from STAG ARMS which dramatically heightens the rifles realistic appearance. STAG ARMS manufacturers the real 5.56mm cal. rifle and is one of the largest manufacturers of AR type rifles in the United States today.

The M8A3 features a full metal CNC machined RAS with free floating barrel. Its receiver is very similar to those found on the other STAG-15 series rifles with the exception of the selector designators which are reminiscent of those found on H&K rifles. It also has flip up iron sights with the rear sight featuring a dual aperture peep sight which is adjustable for windage. Both sights can easily be removed if needed for a clear scope picture. The stock is a traditional LE style which is collapsible in six positions to best fit the shooter. The M8A3 will accept M4/M16 series AEG magazines so you will have no problem swapping magazines with your teammates M4 rifles.

Inside of the M8A3 is a full metal Version 2 gearbox fitted with a high performance spring, ported piston head, steel gears, metal spring guide and metal bushings. This produces a sizzling 415 fps at the muzzle making it possible to easily engage targets at over 60 yards when used with .28g BBs.

Airsoft News: Store Aims For Airsoft Crowd

noreply@blogger.com (Red Denal) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:19:00 +0000

David Greene was first introduced to airsoft guns – they shoot little plastic pellets that police use in training – while he was with the Army infantry in Korea in 1995.

The idea to open a Frankfort airsoft gun and supply store popped into his head earlier this year.

That was after a teammate on his airsoft team (Frankfort Elite Airsoft Regiment, or FEAR) needed a new gun just before a competition. Nothing was available locally.

Greene, a 38 year-old civilian contractor with the National Guard, and his friends drove to an airsoft store in Cincinnati – the closest – and Greene came back impressed.

He and his wife, Heather, 40, opened Dave’s Airsoft in October, and Greene says the response on opening day was “fantastic.”

“We had a lot of people coming in,” he said. “We’ve kind of lacked on advertising so far because we’re just starting out, but word of mouth is spreading quickly.

“I’ve had a great response from friends around the surrounding area saying everyone’s been playing, but there wasn’t a store in Central Kentucky until now.”

Greene’s customers include college students, law enforcement officers and current and former military personnel.

Teams form and compete in a way similar to paintball players.

Frankfort Police enlisted the services of FEAR during a hostage training exercise. The airsoft team acted as criminals holding a classroom of students at Frankfort High hostage, and the police swept them out.

“They had to clear out of the high school, secure the hostages and terminate us,” Greene explained.

Airsoft guns were used to simulate firearms, and Greene said the officers seemed interested in using the guns for recreational purposes.

Greene said airsoft can provide low cost training for law enforcement. He plans to contact state police and others to gauge their interest in similar training exercises.

“Police can use airsoft in lieu of firearms,” Greene said, adding that it gives them a realistic and hands-on training method.

For the everyday customer who doesn’t train for hostage situations, Dave’s Airsoft offers some of the lowest prices on guns and equipment. Greene says he prices everything 2 to 3 percent lower than what you would find online.

Prices for rifles range from $139-$305, and handguns go for about $50. Soon they’ll also be selling airsoft guns for younger kids and teenagers at around $50.

Dave’s Airsoft also sells all necessary airsoft equipment, like eye protection.

The advantage of shopping at his store, Greene says, is getting to feel the gun before buying it and not paying shipping and handling.

“There’s no guesswork. You can get your hands on the weapon, feel how durable it is, see how the stitching is on the gear.”

Another key feature is an in-store firing range next to the cash register. Customers can fire a weapon before buying it to see how it performs.

Greene says about 80 percent of his customers use the target range before buying a gun.

“You can look at the gun and hold the gun, but after you fire it, that’s what makes you decide,” he said.

The hardest part of opening the store, Greene said, was finding wholesalers to supply it. Dave’s Airsoft primarily deals with Jag Precision and JG – a sister company.

JG stands for “jing gong” in Chinese, which translates to English as “golden bow.”

Greene says having a wife who’s co-owned her own store helps a lot, since she knows the ins and outs of running a business.

The two make a perfect team, because what she brings in business knowledge, he matches with airsoft knowledge.

“We even each other out,” Greene says.

Originally from Jamestown, N.Y, Greene says he’s at home in Frankfort. He wants the store to succeed, but he doesn’t want to get too big.

“I don’t want to be Walmart or anything, but I’d like to give back and introduce people in the community to it,” he said.

“It’s a lot of fun and it teaches leadership and builds self-confidence. It’s just a great social program where people can meet on an even playing field.”

Guy With Air Guns Pulls Prank, Goes to Jail

Lots of charges have piled up for a La Crosse guy after his Halloween pranking went way too far. Cops say 23 year-old Jordan Seielstad was lurking about his southside neighborhood dressed in black on Saturday night. Apparently tried to rob a couple of kids of their Halloween candy by pointing an AirSoft gun at them. Then pistol whipped another kid and tore a chunk of his lip off before chasing them around town in his car. Cops say they found Seielstad hiding twenty feet up in a tree. He says he was just trying to scare the kids and told them, "Happy Halloween" to let them know all of it was just in fun.

Tokyo Marui Automatic Electric Guns

noreply@blogger.com (Red Denal) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 00:06:00 +0000

TM? Trade Mark. No! It's Tokyo Marui. Read this information from wikipedia to know more about this... I rather say highly recommended brand when it comes to quality and precision of the airsoft gun.

Tokyo Marui was the first company to produce airsoft guns powered solely by electric-motor driven air compressors. This compact air compressing system, in which Tokyo Marui dubbed "Automatic Electric Gun" (AEG) in the year 1992, was implemented in their first battery powered automatic firing replica, the FAMAS F1. Tokyo Marui's original design ushered in a new era of airsoft guns. Instead of using external air systems to power airsoft replicas (see Classic airsoft), the Tokyo Marui AEG concept pioneered the use of self-providing electric powered air power. Their groundbreaking AEG system is still in wide use today, and it has been copied numerous times through the years by many other airsoft gun manufacturers.[citation needed]

Tokyo Marui's airsoft replicas are made primarily from ABS plastic bodies, but also feature some metal parts, usually where needed. Some of their more recent models, however, such as their Type 89 rifle and AK-74M have featured full metal externals. The internal gearboxes of these guns are primarily powered by rechargeable batteries. A standard, unmodified Tokyo Marui gearbox will fire 0.2g BBs at around 240 to 300 feet per second (around 0.8-0.9J) depending on the model. These gearboxes may be modified for higher performance by the installation of aftermarket parts, but Japanese law limits their power to 0.98J.

Bonding Over War Games

noreply@blogger.com (Red Denal) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 23:56:00 +0000

At Camp Bundela, barely five kilometres from the Indian Army’s Babina firing ranges in Uttar Pradesh, Sergeant Donald Jeik of the US army is enjoying a game of pool with an unlikely partner, an Indian soldier who has just developed fancy for the cue.

The 29-year-old mortar man, assigned to 2nd Squadron, 14th Cavalry Regiment, is one of the 300 American soldiers who have come from Hawaii to take part in Exercise Yudh Abhyas 2009, an annual Indo-US military drill from October 12-29.

More than 1,000 soldiers are taking part in the war games, aimed at promoting cooperation between the two militaries while sharing training, cultural exchanges, and building joint operating skills.

This year’s Yudh Abhyas features 17 Stryker vehicles— the largest deployment of these armoured combat vehicles outside of Iraq and Afghanistan.

On Monday, the two armies showed what they could achieve together as they went about the business of enforcing peace in a fictitious country (called Karera) torn apart by terrorism. Its neighbours were exporting its miseries.

The exercise involved T-90, combat vehicles, anti-tank missiles, US army’s mini UAVs and live firing of Javelin anti-tank guided missiles.

Lieutenant General A S Sekhon, the army’s director general of military operations said India had a lot to learn from the US experience — especially in the field of technology — in Afghanistan and Iraq.

US War Games Test Afghan Battle Plans

noreply@blogger.com (Red Denal) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 23:52:00 +0000

WASHINGTON: The Pentagon's top military officer has conducted secret war games to evaluate the two primary military options that have been put forward by the Pentagon and are being weighed by the Obama Administration as part of a broad-based review of the faltering Afghanistan war, senior military officials said.

FOR MORE AFGHANISTAN STORIES
The exercise this month, led by Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, examined the likely outcome of inserting 44,000 more soldiers to conduct a full-scale counter-insurgency effort aimed at building a stable government that can control most of Afghanistan. It also examined adding 10,000 to 15,000 more soldiers and marines as part of an approach dubbed ''counter-terrorism plus''.

Both options were drawn from a detailed analysis prepared by General Stanley McChrystal, the senior commander in Afghanistan, and were forwarded to the President, Barack Obama, by the Defence Secretary, Robert Gates.

The Pentagon war games did not formally endorse either course; rather, they tried to gauge how Taliban fighters, the Afghan and Pakistani governments and NATO allies might react to either scenario. Admiral Mullen has discussed its conclusions with senior White House officials involved in discussions over the new strategy.

One of the exercise's assumptions is that an increase of 10,000 to 15,000 troops would not give US commanders the forces they need to take back havens from the Taliban commanders in southern and western Afghanistan, where shadow insurgent governors collect taxes and run court systems based on Islamic law.

The Obama Administration initiated a review of its war strategy late last month after questions emerged about the legitimacy of the Afghan elections on August 20, and a troubling update on the war by General McChrystal.

What was intended to be two or three weeks of intensive White House meetings has stretched on for almost a month.

General McChrystal's analysis has drawn wide support inside the Pentagon. It suggests that 44,000 troops would be needed to drive Taliban forces from populated areas and to hold them until Afghan troops and government officials can take the place of US and NATO forces. The extra troops would allow US commanders to essentially triple the size of the US forces in the south of the country, where the Taliban originated and have their strongest support.

The increase of 10,000 to 15,000 soldiers would give General McChrystal one US advisory brigade of about 5000 to speed the development of Afghan forces and a large number of support forces.

US officials say Mr Obama might settle on a plan but delay announcing it until after a run-off in the Afghan elections, scheduled for November 7.

Airsoft Gun Related News: Carjacker Nabbed After Hitting Ferndale Dealership

noreply@blogger.com (Red Denal) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 23:44:00 +0000

Suspect thought to be tied to Troy incident, as well

FERNDALE/TROY — A convicted thief suspected of forcibly stealing vehicles from car dealerships in Ferndale and Troy was arrested following a police chase on Woodward Avenue near I-696.

According to Ferndale Police Detective Lt. Bill Wilson, at around 3 p.m. on Oct. 21, Ferndale officers responded to a reported armed robbery at the Fresard Buick-Pontiac-GMC dealership at 21800 Woodward Ave.

The caller indicated that a Fresard salesman had been showing vehicles to the suspect, 21-year-old Bryan Lance of Pontiac, in the dealership lot when Lance put a gun to the salesman’s head and stole a used 2009 Chrysler 300. He then took off down northbound Woodward, Wilson said, and officers from Ferndale, Pleasant Ridge, Berkley and Royal Oak began a high-speed pursuit.

As Detective Brendan Moore noted, “Carjackings are fairly common, but it’s pretty unusual for something like this to happen at a dealership.”

Moments after the theft, a Pleasant Ridge officer conducting a traffic stop on Main Street near 10 Mile Road observed the stolen vehicle pass him as it headed northbound on Main, Wilson said. The officer followed Lance to a nearby parking lot, but as he approached the suspect vehicle, it drove back onto Main and sped away traveling southbound.

Near 10 Mile and Main, Lance crashed head-on into an SUV occupied by a man and woman. The collision did not cause any injuries to the passengers, however.

“(Lance) couldn’t have been going that fast when he made contact with the car,” Moore said. “It appears that he slowed down significantly and tried to swerve around them.”

Lance then exited the stolen car, pulling out a fake handgun as he began to run southbound on Woodward, Wilson said. Witnesses on the road reported that Lance pointed the gun toward them and then toward a Ferndale officer, who was exiting her vehicle and preparing to approach the suspect from the south.

“Our officer had been monitoring the pursuit on the radio,” Moore said. “She was already stopped, and then she saw him running toward her with a gun pointed in her direction.”

The officer responded by firing two shots at Lance, which missed him but caused him to surrender to police. Wilson stressed that no one was hurt in the incident.

After Lance was arrested, the officers discovered that his weapon was not a real gun, but a toy airsoft pistol. “It’s not at all uncommon for criminals to use a toy gun like that,” Moore explained. “Those airsoft guns look very realistic and could absolutely pass for a real handgun.”

The officers also found that Lance was in possession of some fake police gear, including a phony police badge and some toy handcuffs. Moore stated that Ferndale police are still investigating why Lance was in possession of these items.

“That’s the real stumper of the case,” he said. “We have no clue why he had that stuff, and he’s not saying anything about it. It’s entirely possible that he was using them to impersonate a police officer.”

On Oct. 23, Lance was arraigned in Ferndale 43rd District Court on charges of carjacking, armed robbery and fleeing and eluding police. If convicted, he faces up to life in prison. Magistrate Larue Mead set bond at $900,000 cash or surety and scheduled a pre-exam conference for Nov. 5.

Troy police believe that Lance could also be responsible for an Oct. 20 carjacking at the Elder Ford dealership at 777 John R Road.

“We’re looking very closely at him as a possible suspect,” said Troy Police Lt. Michael Lyczkowski. He said that evidence police confiscated from Lance following his arrest in Ferndale may link him to the Elder Ford incident.

Moore confirmed that this was a strong possibility. “There is evidence that leads us to believe he was involved in the crime in Troy,” he said. “He has also been convicted for stealing cars in Troy over the last two years.”

According to reports about the Elder Ford case, the suspect asked to talk to a salesperson about a specific Ford Fusion, a 2010 SEL, for sale in the new car lot.

Police said the man got into the driver’s seat of the Fusion while the salesperson stood outside the vehicle. The man then reportedly pulled a black semi-automatic pistol from the waistband of his pants, pointed it at the salesperson and demanded the keys to the car, Lyczkowski said.

After the salesperson handed over the keys, the man told him to walk away, and then fled the lot in the Fusion, police said. Highland Park police later recovered the Fusion abandoned, but with no visible damage, in that city at around 12:45 a.m. on Oct. 22.

Clark Travel Leisure Opens Shooting Range for Airsoft Guns in Clearwater Resort Clark Philippines

noreply@blogger.com (Red Denal) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 10:51:00 +0000

BB guns or air soft guns are popular for all members of family. Spacious Brunello Gardens in Clearwater Resort Clark Philippines makes for nice arena for shooting range and air soft war games.

Manila, Philippines, October 21, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Yats Clearwater Resort & Country Club is a 13ha property located in the central business district of Clark Freeport Pampanga Philippines. Its location does not prevent it from being one of the most serene and idyllic resort in the vicinity.

Aside from a 10-slot shooting range, the adjacent 2ha Brunello Garden is quite conducive to games and events involving air-soft guns because of the large Acacia trees and a hill in the backdrop plus a lazy river too. Clearwater Resort & Country Club also rent out a few selections of mean-looking air-soft guns including M16, AK45 and a few other favorites.

The 1-ha outdoor living area is blessed with a lot of decades-old Acacia trees providing much-needed shading during the day. The 3ha fresh-water lake provides natural ventilation and cooling of the entire property not to mention facilities for water sports like kayaking, fishing and boating. This is a good rendition of the lifestyle that the Americans left behind after they left the Clark Airbase. A good short description of this lifestyle is suburban laid-back slow-paced clean living.

Clearwater Resort & Country Club provides camping space for up to 500 tents. You have to bring and pitch your own tents. Special arrangements and approvals need to be obtained if food and beverage have to be brought in. Otherwise advanced reservation can be made for cookout and BBQ with the resort’s sister company Yats Restaurant.

YATS Leisure Philippines, a developer and operator of clubs, resorts and high-class restaurants and wine outlets in Clark Angeles Philippines has announced a special full-board package for YATS resort hotel in Clark Philippines called Clearwater Resort and Country Club, just 5 minutes from Angeles City.

Getting there is quite simple: after entering Clark Freeport from Dau and Angeles City, proceed straight along the main highway MA Roxas, passing the stand-along wine shop called Clark Wine Center on your right, continue to bear right making no turns at all, go past Mimosa Leisure Estate on the opposite side of the road, you will hit a major intersection. Go straight and the road becomes Creekside Road. YATS Clearwater Resort and Country Club is on your right just 200m down.

War Game Examines Energy as a Disruptive Technology

noreply@blogger.com (Red Denal) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 03:11:00 +0000

Energy as a weapon and an enabler could dominate future battlefields, according to a recent war game that focused on military energy requirements. Participants in the 2009 war game, which had the theme “Future Energy Requirement on the Battlefield,” examined energy produced, packaged and used in novel ways to enable persistence.

The Director of Defense Research and Engineering’s (DDRandE’s) Technical Intelligence Program is briefing the results of its 4th annual future disruptive technology war game to offices within the organization and other participants. This year’s game, which took place in June at the National Defense University, focused on the effects that a breakthrough energy technology could have on U.S. warfighting capability and science and technology investment. The exercise did not limit participants to any specific ideas such as traditional or alternative fuels or near- or long-term solutions, but rather sought to examine any possibility and its ramifications.

Technologies employed for energy generation, transformation and transport that would or could support high-energy weapons systems on the future conventional battlefield garnered the most attention, according to Capt. Robert Barton, USNR, commander of the DDR&E Joint Reserve Unit, the office responsible for the event.

War game personnel considered the impact of technologies and applications required to enable or disrupt future battlefield operations requiring vast amounts and various forms of energy. The goals of the event were to determine which commercially available technologies—prioritized, if possible—could be used or combined into applications to produce either a capability advantage, or conversely, a disruptive threat; technology or application areas in which potential adversaries would be likely to make investments that would deter or mitigate a U.S. technological advantage; the impact of identified potential threats from a Defense Department perspective and the effectiveness of current capabilities in mitigating the impacts; and the science and technology areas the department should invest in to counter or mitigate those threats.

Col. Dave Robie, USAFR, vice commander of the DDR&E Joint Reserve Unit, explains that the energy focus is important to the military, which currently operates in an unconstrained energy environment. Though the supply can be expensive, U.S. forces never have lacked the resources they need. As the Defense Department moves forward, energy may become more constrained, and leadership will have to make decisions about all types of energy sources, not just fossil fuels.

The final, approved results of the event are not available for public release. They are delivered to leadership and participants who include members of the Defense Department, industry, venture capitalists, academia and other government laboratories and agencies. Those who are briefed can use the information for additional studies. Overall success was judged by the effect that the game results and recommendations have in informing the science and technology planning process and spotlighting a need for future assessment.

The war game supercharges other analyses by completing a great deal of background work and research. Col. Robie explains that the military is preparing to conduct an energy study on the battlefield that will start out at a higher level because of what was accomplished in the war game. The outcome is of interest to several Defense Department organizations and the service branches.

One of the big challenges for the war game each year is determining what will be a disruptive technology. “That’s the trick,” Capt. Barton says, adding that quite often the answer is a convergence of several developing technologies that combine to become a game changer. War game personnel examine what would create a significant impact on U.S. forces if such technologies were available to them or their adversaries.

To help identify the most important technologies, a variety of subject matter experts on different topics gather to assist with the war game. Lt. Cmdr. Mike Richman, USNR, another member of the DDR&E Joint Reserve Unit and the war game co-chair, says that with enough brainpower, diversity and technical expertise, the event feeds itself and results in thought-provoking exercises that help answer what the technologies and capabilities can do in future conflicts.

Capt. Barton emphasizes two key takeaways from the annual war game. Because it is an intellectually unconstrained environment, it yields unique and valuable insight that, along with other factors, inform policy, budget and follow-on deep-dive study efforts. Also, it leverages the nation’s citizen-soldier brain trust coupled with intelligent personnel from other areas to solve difficult military problems. The citizen soldiers involved with the effort bring their civilian life knowledge and contacts to bear in the experiments.

Classic Army AEG, What About It?

noreply@blogger.com (Red Denal) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 17:00:00 +0000

I tried researching the details behind this airsoft manufacturer, the Classic Army Airsoft Gun, they say...the world leading brand in Airsoft. and here's what I found from wikipedia...

Classic Army (Yick Fung International) is a manufacturer of airsoft replicas. The headquarters for this A.E.G. manufacturer is in Hong Kong. They produce automatic electric guns or AEGs. Designed to resemble real firearms, these replicas fire 6mm plastic BBs at safe velocities. Within the airsoft community, Classic Army is often abbreviated as simply "CA."

Compared with other airsoft manufacturers, Classic Army AEG's are characterized by their many metal parts or, "Full Metal" meaning that each part that is metal on the real firearm is reproduced in metal on the replica, although it is not the same as the metal parts of a real firearm and will not enable use or operation as a real firearm. These metal components usually include the frame and body, as well as the firing mechanism (called a "gearbox"). Replicas also feature pre-upgraded internals such as metal bushings and polycarbonate pistons.

As with most AEGs, Classic Army replicas use rechargeable batteries (either NiMH or NiCd). In an un-modified condition they can be expected to fire 0.2 g BBs at approximately 280-340 feet per second (FPS).

These are the AEG products they have (Classic Army AEG replicas are available in the following models):

* Heckler and Koch G3 based
* Heckler and Koch HK33 based
* Heckler and Koch G36 based
* Heckler and Koch SL8 based CA8-2 Rifle
* Heckler and Koch MP5 based (all with B&T Markings)
* Steyr AUG based
* AK-74 based
* M249 SAW based
* SR-25 based CA-25
* M14 based
* M16/AR-15 based (all with Armalite markings)
* M4 carbine based (all with Armalite markings)
* FN SCAR based
* AR-10 based
* FN FAL based (DS Arms SA58)
* Ak-47 based
* P90 based
* Heckler and Koch HK416 based
* UMP based
* Dragonov SVD (rifle) based
* LWRC based

Classic Army has also released a new series, "Sportline", which forgo the metal bodies of CA's more mainstream AEG's, now known as the "Proline" series. These guns come with a plastic body, and the other standard equipment included with MPEGs. This new line is designed to compete with the new MPEG guns coming from Chinese manufacturers, such as Jing Gong, Dboys, CYMA, Kart, and A&K. The Sportline Series includes CA 416 series (based on Heckler & Koch HK416), CA 90 series (based on P90), AUG (based on Steyr AUG), M15 Series (based on M16 and M4 carbine), MP5 series (based on Heckler & Koch MP5) and SA M7 series (based on Ak-47). Even more recently, Classic Army has released metal-bodied sportline models. They have similar bodies to the "proline" models, however the trademarks are of a lesser quality.

Aside from AEG Crassic Army also have SPRING and GAS Airsoft Type.

Airsoft News: Danville High School Principal On Leave After Incident with Airsoft Gun

noreply@blogger.com (Red Denal) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 22:35:00 +0000

By Eric Louie Contra Costa Times

The principal of Monte Vista High in Danville is on administrative leave while the school district investigates her handling of an Airsoft pistol gun in front of a student.

Rebecca Smith has been on leave since Oct. 8 while the district investigates an incident in which she "handled a gun in an inappropriate manner in the presence of a student," said San Ramon Valley school district spokesman Terry Koehne.

He said the district has determined it was an Airsoft pistol which shoots plastic pellets that generally cannot break the skin. They are available at sporting goods and other stores. The pistols, generally considered a toy, are not powerful enough for hunting.

Sources have told Bay Area News Group that the incident stemmed from actions before a girls volleyball game, when a player had an inflatable toy that resembled a gun. The student was called to the principal's office, which is where the incident with the Airsoft pistol took place.

Smith could not be reached for comment. Her attorney, Robert Bezemik, of Oakland, issued a statement Wednesday saying he could not say much about the incident involving the 35-year district employee.

"Because this involves the privacy interests of several participants, unfortunately we cannot publicly discuss any specifics at this time," he said. "Hopefully, common sense will prevail once she receives a fair and impartial opportunity to present her side of the story."

Koehne said the Advertisement district is not releasing details of the incident, but he said it happened on campus. He said the district received an anonymous tip about the incident Oct. 7, adding that Smith's leave is a routine procedure while the district investigates. He did not know how long the investigation will take.

Koehne said Smith is being paid while on leave. He did not have her exact salary, but he said principals' salaries range from $99,000 to $130,000.

Retired administrator Duff Danilovich has been brought into help run the school. He was a middle school principal and high school assistant principal in the district before his retirement.

School Board President Bill Clarkson said he could not comment, as it would be inappropriate because the case could go before the board. He said trustees have not met about the issue.

While rumors have been circulating about the incident and some parents are upset no official announcement was made, Koehne said the district was limited in what it could say because it is a personnel issue. The district e-mailed an announcement to parents Wednesday after Smith's leave was reported in local media.

Smith could not be reached for comment. She came to the school in 1981, working as an assistant principal before becoming principal in 1996, according to the school's Web site.

Her time at the school has not been without controversy. In 2007, a district audit found that nearly $100,000 raised by recent graduating classes was spent for items not approved by students. The funds were raised by each graduating class during their years at the school, with students determining where the money goes, but administrators instead transferred the cash to other accounts and decided where to spend it. Items purchased included computers, landscaping and rugs.

Airsoft Gun Review: Tokyo Marui G36C Electric BB Gun

noreply@blogger.com (Red Denal) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 23:06:00 +0000

The choice for many SF Units and Counter-Terrorism Forces the world over. The Tokyo Marui G36c boasts the EG1000 motor, version 3 gearbox, folding stock and a bottom rail mount. Additional side rails can be easily added for laser and flashligh upgrades. The Tokyo Marui G36c has pin-point accuracy and packs a nasty punch. The magazines will even clamp together for lightning quick mag changes. Military forces and law enforcement in Europe and USA are currently using the real Heckler & Koch G36C. The H&K G36C is increasing in popularity and will soon be a one of the leading military & law enforcement assault rifles -such is the design and quality prowess of H&K.

So, not surprisingly Tokyo Marui has taken over the project to make G36 as electric airsoft gun. Featuring solid construction and extreme attention to detail once again, this Tokyo Marui AEG appears to maintain the high quality standards of what we have learned to see from Tokyo Marui.

Tokyo Marui’s Airsoft AEG’s are the standard to which other Airsoft companies aspire. Tokyo Marui’s Airsoft AEG’s are characterised by their high quality ABS Plastic Bodies and Metal MechBox. These high quality parts make the Tokyo Marui Airsoft AEG’s very durable and they keep shooting straight and fast under almost any punishment. These guns use rechargeable batteries and typically when unmodified, fire 0.2g BB’s at around the area of 270- 305 feet per second and 0.8~1J of kinetic energy. Tokyo Marui’s Airsoft AEG’s are very reliable and realistic and you will not be dissappointed with your purchase. Please note, Tokyo Marui’s are cast in authentic gun molds and due to customs regulations some of the guns are not allowed into the U.S. without having their original trademarks removed.

Electric Airsoft Rifles use batteries as their power source, they’re usually fully automatic, and they shoot very fast. If you are looking for continuous fire fun, this is the type of Airsoft Gun for you – just hold down the trigger and watch those BB’s stream out, one after the other, in a straight, swift line – which means fun and entertainment, plain and simple.

Airsoft Gun Review: Jing Gong Produces the Best MK36 (G608) For The Money!

noreply@blogger.com (Red Denal) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 01:52:00 +0000

Jing Gong Airsoft (JG), a Chinese Airsoft Manufacturer, has been producing some very impressive Airsoft Guns lately. Mostly TM and CA Clones, Jing Gong has raised the bar on producing the sub-$200 airsfot gun, with some models coming in right around the $100 range. The Jing Gong MK36 (G608) is no exception to this line of quality airsoft gun. Priced under $120, this Airsoft gun is worth every dime.

When you first observe the gun you'll notice there is nothing flashy about the packaging, which is typical of the Jing Gong airsoft gun product line. Once you open the ordinary black box you'll realize there is nothing boring about this gun. The Jing Gong G608 is a great clone of both the TM and CA MK36, MX, & SR36 airsoft rifles. Jing Gong insists you can use any TM, SRC, or CA part on this AEG, but we recommend reviewing the various on-line forum posts. We have confirmed that the TM, SRC, and CA airsoft magazines will work in this gun.

The package comes with everything you need to get started: 8.4v 1100maH mini-battery, wall charger, Hi-Cap magazine, a starter supply of BBs, a manual, and a clearing rod. The gun itself weighs in at 6lbs 1oz (Gun, battery, and empty magazine), and is very well-balanced. It is built out of heavy-duty Nylon ABS plastic and has a solid folding stock for CQB situations. The overall body design is tight, with minimal seams, and no wobble. Metal parts include: flash hider, iron sights, selector switch, and charging handle. The battery fits into the foregrip, which is easily removed by pulling out a single metal pin and sliding forward. The foregrip space is pretty tight so you might be limited to a 1400mah battery without the use of an external PEQ box.. We only tested with the included battery. The weapon sports a top and bottom weaver rail for mounting your favorite airsoft gear. Over all, the build, durability and design are pretty close to the higher end TM, SRC, and CA MK36, MX36, and SR36 Airsoft electric guns.

The Jing Gong MK36 G608 comes with a 470-round high-capacity wind-up type airsoft magazine. It's constructed of solid ABS plastic and has the stackable pegs on both sides so you can clip another magazine to it. This is great for quick magazine changes in the heat of battle. The airsoft magazine that comes with this AEG is TM compatible.

The MK36 G608 comes with an adjustable hop-up. The hop-up is set by pulling back the charging handle to expose the hop-up wheel. The hop-up dial has a solid, yet smooth feel to it. From what we've observed the hop-up stays set and is not prone to going out of adjustment due to vibration, use, etc.

On this model Jing Gong uses metal gears and metal bushings (earlier models had plastic bushings). Additional internals include a plastic spring guide and a plastic, vented piston head (for a better O-ring seal). The result is consistent FPS (see G608 performance testing below). The rest of the internals are identical to the TM MK36 and SRC SR36 model. The wiring is 16 gauge.

G608 AIRSOFT PERFORMANCE
(Note: all of our performance testing was done with TSD .2g BBs) - The Jing Gong MK36 is louder than most, but we prefer that because it tends to intimidate on the skirmish field. We ran this gun through the Guarder 2000 Chrono. How did it do? FPS ranged from 350 to 365 feet per second (FPS), and rate of fire was around 900 rounds per minute. Accuracy is decent out to about 125 feet, and the hop up holds a flat trajectory when set properly. We were easily able to hit a soda can at 125-150 feet. Use of .23g or .25g BBs may increase the accuracy of this airsoft gun. We shot four full magazines through the G608, varying the Semi and Full-Auto setting. We only had one gearbox lock up, which was easily remedied by putting the gun on full-Auto and firing off a few rounds to line the gears back up. Overall handling is a dream. It's no wonder the Airsoft MK36 design is enjoying so much popularity these days. We can't wait to take it out on the skirmish field!

Jing Gong MK36 G608 MIL SPECS:
* Length open: 28 inches
* Length folded: 19 inches
* Height (handgrip to top of sight): 9 inches
* Weight (battery and empty mag installed): 6lbs 1oz

The R85A1 by Army Armament/CSI Airsoft Electric Rifle w/Blowback Action and Full Metal Body, is a replica of the L85A1, one of the assault rifles in the SA80 family of weapons and used by the Royal Marines, regular infantry and the RAF Regiment.

Some User Comments On The Army R85A1 Airsoft Electric Rifle:

"All I can say is speechless, I knew the gun would be good but not this good."

"The metal work on the receiver is excellent and will certainly take the abuse associated with the sport."

"I fired it on full auto until I had drained the battery without mishap or jams on the blowback mechanism."

"The gears are well made and made of quality materials rather than cheap pot metal like many of the other brands on the market for the same price."

"The hop-up is pretty consistent and was able to hit the target with pretty good groupings at 15 meters"
