Stirling Airsoft are please to introduce the first in a new series of Airsoft Kit Reviews brought to you by our very own Tactical Liaison.

Some say that he’s had his eyeballs replaced by night-vision imagers and that his sneezes are exactly 370 fps.

All we know is he’s called The Wig.

Carl from Edgar Brothers dropped in the new Official Magpul PTS M4 CQB for The Wig to test and check out.

First impressions were that its 10.5 inch barrel makes it perfect for the black kit option. The real steel Ergo Z rail allows for a great grip on the weapon and the whole look and feel of the gun is very high quality.

The Magpul M4's moe stock and grip make it really comfortable for CQB use

It comes ready for a 7.4 LiPo battery which fits nicely into the stock tube. It has a moe stock, mbus 2 rear sights, Magpul metal sling plate and a moe grip which is narrow and again compliments the Ergo Z rail in allowing the shooter comfort and grip when engaging targets.

The Magpul PTS M4 features a moe grip and an Ergo Z rail

A single pmag finishes it off.

With a limited production run of only 50 and at a RRP of £429.99 the Magpul PTS M4 CQB is a great bit of kit for CQB and is sure to sell out quickly.

About The Wig: Quite possibly the most lethal hair piece ever created.
Handed down through generations of warrior kin, the wicked weave has been said to enhance the fighting spirit of all those who dare to wear this rug of righteousness.

We’ve got some exciting news to announce today.  For the last couple of months select members of the Stirling Airsoft Team have been trying out a new brand of BBs at our events and now we’re ready to announce that we’re so pleased with the results that from October all team members will be switching to using BBs provided by BB Bastard.

Many of our team members use very high performance airsoft guns, like those manufactured by Systema, and to get the most out of these weapons we need to use equally high-quality BBs.  The guys at BB Bastard have made a real focus on creating the ultimate airsoft BB by developing their own special manufacturing process that helps to ensure that the material making up each BB is evenly distributed to reduce variations in density that can throw off the weight and flight performance even in a small 6mm BB.  Their system also ensures that small air bubbles, common in lighter weight BBs are more consistently formed in the centre of the BBs, which also helps to maintain straight flight, and use a special double polishing process to achieve a high polish, removing imperfections and resulting in a much more consistently smooth and spherical finish.

This all adds up to a brand of BBs that goes where you’re aiming and doesn’t suffer from the kind of wobbling in flight or jamming in your barrel that some lesser brands have been known to cause.

After a successful trial period by members of the Stirling Team during some of our events and combat missions this summer we’re now really pleased to be able to announce that from October the entire Stirling Airsoft Team will be switching over to BB Bastard BBs for all our future games.

Check out BB Bastard’s Vimeo page for videos showing their BBs in action and connect with them on their Twitter profile.

BB Bastard will be launching officially in the UK at the next Airsoft Arms Fair in October and you can sign up to try them out on our CQB training course, which we will once again be running in collaboration with the guys from Edgar Brothers Airsoft.  We’ll have more details about that up soon, so keep yours eyes on our Facebook and Twitter feeds for further updates.

UPDATE: A lot of people have been asking about where they can buy BB Bastard BBs in the UK.  At the moment they are exclusively available through our friends at PatrolBase.co.uk

Message From: Captain William Fraser acting CO Task Force Black

Message To: Major Simmonds ISAT Command.

Sir
Apologies for the delay in this report we have been tying up loose ends after Op copperstone and things took longer than expected.

As you will be aware President Aluma had planned a weekend of celebration to mark his first year in power but it quickly became apparent that local opposition was not content to let this happen. Many citizens were unhappy at the secondary purpose of the celebrations which was to conduct a population census within the capital and insurgent elements seized on this as an opportunity to insight trouble. Almost immediately our operations to retrieve the captured SEAL were hindered by heavy fighting and coordinated attacks against ourselves and KGBNA.
We continued to utilise local assets to gain intelligence on the hostages location and several times we know we got close but each time the enemy managed to evade capture and moved the prisoner.
A shura was arranged with the local cleric and he agreed to help us in any way he could to help us bring our man back alive. But cleric Mohammed Jem was insistent that the only way to help us was to arrange a second shura attended by all local elders and people of influence and the President himself. The security threat for meeting like this I’m sure you can imagine is extremely high but we asked the question and Aluma agreed on the condition that the SEALS release was top of the agenda.
After the attack on the Shura in Ati it was decided that task force would control the inner security cordon while KGBNA would establish the outer cordon. Shortly before the shura was to take place FOB Perseus came under attack from small arms fire from several directions a sure sign the insurgents knew about the attack and didn’t want it taking place. With the arrival of KGBNA the attack lost momentum and the enemy drifted away and the attendees began to arrive with their separate security details.
Just as Aluma himself arrived I got word of new intel that we had almost an 100% confirmed location for the SEAL and because of the recent attack he was currently being guarded by only a handful of enemy. We launched a strike Op to get him out but I decided to keep this intel to myself rather than share it with the Shura or Aluma himself. The meeting which took place in a basement room began with tension and heated discussion Alumas refusal to cave in to pressure from the elders led to lots of shouting and it threatened to descend into chaos at several points and it was during one of these that Carter from the SI7 liason team passed quietly told me that the strike team had rescued the SEAL and he was safe upstairs. I instructed carter to keep his return quiet until after the shura had finished. But he requested that we let the meeting run for a little longer and then announce the success and break the meeting at that point scheduling a second meeting for the following morning. His reasoning was sound as it would allow us to conduct our secondary mission of locating and arresting HVT’s.
As soon as the elders departed and I debriefed President Aluma he requested that we utilise his military to assist in these operations. Immediately we began making up for lost time and scored several hits including Victor Drazen wanted in connection with Haribo smuggling from Ati.
We also picked up but had to release a suspect who shared certain intel matches with our profile of the French student. A separate report will list all those HVT’s will follow this report.
One other point of interest was the arrest of a suspect named Zag D’Nomaid who’s cropped up on several data bases over the Years as a known assassin who worked almost exclusively for the DBR it’s possible he may even have been involved in the murder of the late president tuwkani if the rumour is believed to be true.

trouble flared early on the Sunday meaning we had to abandon the Op to locate our last A grade HVT dubur Ra as who now remains at large after his involvement in the kidnap of the navy SEAL.

I have handed command back to task force blacks CO now he has recovered from his wounds and I have received my orders to return to my unit to begin prepping for Op Culverin in November.

Message To: General Mugabe, Chief of General Staff, KGB National Army, N'Djamena, Chad

I’ve had word from assets on the ground in the city that intercepted chatter has started to build in relation to this weekend’s celebrations.  I’ve managed to increase the TFB boots on the ground, they should be arriving this evening, but my advice General is to keep a close eye on the President, put your best men on his security and stay groovy, safety off, finger on.

Bill Fraser will be your point of contact this weekend for ops, I’ve managed to requisition him from TF Blue now he’s out of Bousso after Op Huntsman.

Major, what brings you to N’Djamena?  They must have seen fit to transfer you from Taskforce Gold!

I must keep you up to date with the current security matters regarding the festivities President Aluma has deemed appropriate in our great capital.  The President wishes, against mine and other senior advisors, to proceed with this weekend’s celebrations even while the DBR are not under control.  The city should be safe enough but I require Taskforce Black to be on standby for assistance to my KGBNA units and Police within the city.

I believe the main areas we need to ensure are sewn up are the street parties and extra security for the DBR Factor open auditions in the disco, the crowds have been known to be volatile when excited, the locals go crazy if a bit of flesh from the ankle is exposed by any burka wearing sirens….

We will also be on the look out for your missing SEAL, even if it does pain me to waste my men and resources on your failure to account for all your personnel…we will however be passing on any information we gather, President Aluma has requested it.

Any further intelligence your men in the shadows receive would be gratefully accepted, I wish this weekend to pass off as quietly, ceremoniously and favourably for myself and my men.

The demands remain the same as the original ransom message.

I’m here live for Haram Mujahid News all week in the build up to what is going to be Africa’s biggest party since the days of the crazy party Kings of Gabon!

President Victor Aluma is certainly bringing N’Djamena alive with celebration of his year in power and the joyous occasion of the birth of his first son, and heir, George Gecko.  Aluma has gone for broke, lining up a festival of fun that spreads right across the city- rumour has it that he has even enticed a well know British wearer of high throusers to launch his reality tv show in Africa in what must be, pardon the phrase, a real coup!  It is understood that anyone who wishes to enter the open auditions of ‘The DBR Factor’ should head down to Klobba’s Disco at building 66 between 12 and 4pm this Saturday, I’m sure this will go off with a bang!

The rest of the city will be alive with street parties and a fiesta spirit, bringing neighbours together in what will be a great occasion.  There has been reports of bureaucratic breakdowns with getting permits to close streets off for a traditional Chadian street party of tea and cakes but residents are reminded that as long as they have correct documentation then they are at liberty to make a street off limits to vehicles during the period of the party.

Other activities that Aluma has sanctioned for this weekend include bash the DBR rat, coconut shy,  guessing the weight of  lizard cakes, stoning of those not enjoying themselves enough, gladiatorial style contests in the main square and sheep back racing.  Dockets again must be carried if participating in public, especially when mounting sheep, and will be checked by Police and KGBNA personnel.

This weekend promises to be an event of joy to treasure and behold, and if it isn’t then the Police I understand will be making you….the wet weather will hopefully blow through before hand and leave the streets awash with happiness and celebration, after all President Aluma decrees it!

Message from: Captain Fraser / Task Force Blue

Message to: Major Simmonds TF HQ N'Djamena

Bousso extraction is now complete Sir
Took a little longer than expected due to continued harassment by the enemy causing problems for the Helo’s. But as of 14.00hrs today all manpower and logistics have been removed from the area KGBNA have a loose cordon 30miles out from Bousso but I don’t think they will see much action but if they do I doubt they will be able to achieve all that much with the numbers they had.

It pains me to say it but we were lucky to hold on to PB Phoenix as long as we did.
DBR forces in the area seem never ending and as you know we cleared the eastern section back in April but by the time we launched Huntsman our numbers were down to 50% and re supply just wasn’t possible. that said we managed to ID several new faces in the area one of them being a suspected commander of a large group of dedicated foreign fighters who’s numbers have grown considerably since April. This group had managed to retake the eastern sections of the region whilst we had reliable intel telling us some of the original Bousso fighters are now operating out of the mountains in the west these groups were able to launch several attacks on us from the mountains above PB Phoenix.
With our patrols Coming under heavy fire every time we left the PB acting on our intel was difficult but on occasions it did work in our favour.
Late saturday night we sent an 8 man patrol to clear a series of compounds designated Lima Bravo 1 2 and 3
These compounds were the last known location for a top Priority HVT named Nick Dundee so the job was to go in quietly clear the compounds and if he was on site lift him and bring him back to the PB. 300metres outside the PB the patrol spotted what looked like a two man recce team setting up a possible OP on the main patrol route. The enemy was engaged but it transpires that the 2 man recce team was actually a 35 man strong assault team on it’s way to attack Phoenix. The following firefight left both sides with heavy casualties but eventually the enemy decided to flee rather than fight. Had our guys left 2 mins later than they did they would not have spotted the enemy group and that attack would have hit the PB with a defensive force of less than 10 men. The Lima bravo Op was postponed and all resources dedicated to securing the PB against another attack. At around 01:00 hours we sent another small recce team up into the foothills to the west where our intel said the enemy had established a small training camp under the canopy of trees. That patrol returned at 05:00 having located the camp but were unable to carry out a Proper CTR because it was almost day light and the camp was stirring.
At 03:00 Phoenix was hit in another attack by the foreign fighters who managed to co ordinate a large scale assault from the west and south almost over running the PB with only 2 men left un wounded it was seriously close to the wire and all they guys dug in waiting for the sun to come up.

A stand too at 06:30 had everybody up and it was decided to have another go at Op Lima Bravo.
All troops loaded onto the vehicles and taking a long route into the Lima Bravo area the target was hit no shots fired four suspects found with weapons were arrested for further questioning. Details of which have been sent separately due to OpSec.
At 09:00 we spotted NIck Dundee who for the first time since his escape was openly drawing attention to himself it was an obvious lure into an ambush which thankfully all the guys avoided. Shortly acter we found ourselves under heavy attack from every side if pushed I would say almost every DBR in the area was bearing down on us with every thing they had. Again both sides sustained heavy casualties but their sheer numbers allowed them to keep coming. In the end they seemed to stop and hold ground surrounding us and then pulled back.
It was deemed untenable for us to remain in the area of operations and orders were given to prepare for extraction.
