SWAT in Airsoft Action!
SWAT Area51 makes surprise Airsoft Action Magazine Appearance! -
Regulars at the 'Top Secret' SWAT Urban Area51 venue will recognise some of the pictures appearing in Feb 2012's edition of Airsoft Action Magazine.
Airsoft Action Mag have a great article explaining the virtues of the SQUAD DESIGNATED MARKSMAN. Much like a 'Support Gunner' but with a lower, more accurate rate of fire, is how I would describe the role. With a capability to 'reach out and touch someone' at a slightly greater range than your average airsoft AEG the SDM is a player to be reckoned with on the skimish field.
The pictures are taken around the former 'Corus Labs' and gardens of the former Shotton Steel works near Garden City, Deeside. All of the regulars at the site lovingly call the building in the background 'Hanger 18', a Kill House of darkened rooms, corridors and stairwells. The area featured in the pictures lends itself well to sniper/DMR/SDM operations in support of more conventional troops.
The magazine has some great articles so get out and buy a copy and enter the comp to win a VFC/RA XCR AEG.
Catch Up with Airsoft Action Magazine on the WEB
& LIKE them on FACEBOOK as well.
WATCH out for the NEXT EDITION for something special (so I'm told!) Maybe a REVIEW of SWAT Urban AREA51!

Magpul PDR @ Shot Show 2012
Video Archives
Magpul PDR @ Shot Show 2012
Now a Working Prototype
This is one AEG I can't personally wait to get my hands on! From first seeing it in videos from the 2011 Shot Show I've been waiting in eager anticipation for this! They now have a working prototype at Shot Show 2012 and its looking promising for a Mid year 2012 release as well. Aimed at around the $300-$350 mark, expect pretty much the same in pounds for the UK market (probably). Dr Airsoft from Airsoft Medicine gives us some great coverage of this fantastic AEG in this extended video with Alex from Magpul (this is probably the best coverage from SS2012 of the PDR):
Airsoft Medicines extend Magpul PDR coverage
Now on some forums I've been frequenting a small number of players are not so excited by this hybrid design, it does kind of look like a cross between a P90 and an L85 or AUG but I think this is some of the best innovation we've seen for a long time and goes beyond the bench marks already set by those previous designs, taking the best from all of them. This is something really exciting for airsofters and as usual it's by Magpul. Lets hope Edgar Bros in the UK and Cybergun for Europe (Spartan for USA?) are able to bring these to us ASAP, as I know lots of players that want these NOW!
Features:
- All polymer Design using Dupont Polymers (shouldn't the top rail be metal!!!!)
- Bull Pup configuration but mag release forward of trigger
- Same barrel length as CQB M4 but approx half the total length of the M4 CQB
- Electronic trigger system
- Ambidextrous controls
- LiPo Ready
- 2 stage trigger between semi-full auto

Potomac T-Shirt Review
KitbagQuarterMaster
Potomac Short
Sleeve T-Shirt - Review by Yosser
Styled in the usual short sleeve, crew neck, configuration of any standard classic T-shirt the Potomac Short Sleeved Shirt looked rather unremarkable in its packaging, but belies what proves to be a great T-Shirt. All seams are well sewn, flat and over-locked, so no loose stitching on my example. The material that makes up this shirt has a nice soft touch feel and we are told it’s made from Advanced Protective Fabric™ a well-conceived and unique combination of fibres and is the material from which the complete range of Potomac Field Gear products are made. This material gives the T-shirt some interesting properties, see the features list below.
Potomac Shirt (Click for larger Images)
Features:
• Fire resistant
• Sweat-wicking
• Anti-microbial
• Anti-odour
• Temperature regulating
• Comfortable
• Anti-static
• UV protecting
Now whilst I’d be the first to admit from a purely airsofting point of view, many of these properties may appear OTT – I however found this T-shirt provided a great base layer which assisted in temperature regulation during some pretty intense in-door CQB action and then switching to outdoor, it still helped me maintain my core temperature. It’s always difficult to strike a balance between being too hot and then feeling the cold when transitioning to outdoors, this T-shirt helped. Even after a full days skirmish it remained dry and comfortable to wear (and easy to wash & dry according to the wife!). I can really see this T-shirt getting some good use for other activities such as rambling, camping trips, plus beach trips in summer with the UV protection coming is useful for these occasions. Friends & colleagues might appreciate the anti-odour as well, especially if you don’t change it!
Yosser says: I really like this t-shirt and it will be added to my regular skirmish kit list, but it has uses beyond that for me such as camping trips and country rambles when you can get hot or cold in the space of just a few hours depending upon exertion. A great base layer and a MUST for those GUCCI kit addicts!Follow to keep upto date with all the blog reviews & news via Twitter:

ASG STi 1911-A1 Pistol
News ArchivesASG Stuff
STi 1911-A1 with RSS by ASG
HOT on the heels of their M1 Carbine release ASG are putting out their STI 1911-A1 pistol with RSS. What is RSS? I hear you say, well its their Realistic Shooting Simulation (Shell ejection) version.
This is the first realistic shooting simulation (RSS) pistol based on the STI 1911-A1 design. The STI 1911-A1 is based on the famous model 1911-A1 designed by legendary John M Browning. This updated version features many improvements for better handling and usefulness, like a flared mag well, for fast reloads.
The 6mm Airsoft replica of the STI 1911-A1 with realistic shooting simulation from ActionSportGames® is based on the original STI 1911-A1 designs and made under license by STI International – USA. Therefore the pistol is made with the correct design and dimensions as well as authentic markings. The technology behind the realistic shooting simulation is based on the patented technology of Marushin Kogyo Co. LTD, Japan.
The magazine holds 8 cartridges loaded into the magazine like a real firearm - each cartridge holds one 6mm BB. When fired, the spent cartridge will eject like a real cartridge, and a new cartridge is loaded into the chamber of the pistol. The spent cartridges can be used over and over again by simply loading them with a new 6mm BB. The STI 1911-A1 pistol is powered with gas, stored in the magazine.
Features:
- Ambidextrous frame mounted safety.
- Flared magazine well.
- Grip safety.
- Large magazine bumper.
- Accessory rail.
- Light weight hammer.
- Original markings.
