Systema have sent out a quick Q & A about NiCd batteries and the fact they will no longer be shipping that type of battery:
Q.
About NiCd batteries which we imported before import prohibition, please note that according to the law after July 1st 2009 it is also forbidden to sell NiCd batteries, and all NiCd batteries still in stock must be destroyed. The prohibition is not only to import but also to sell. I agree with you that NiCd batteries are the best battery for toy gun use, many times better than NiMH and LiPo, but unfortunately they belong to the past. We need to look forward and choose the best available now.
Regarding T.W. battery, please read this answer thoroughly and understand it. Please explain the correct information carefully to your customers. Thank you for your help. (Systema)
MadBull have sent us a video showing how you can use their PS-02 hand grenade to set a booby trap:
Here is the video to teach you how to set up a booby trap. Using baby powder and water will add more functions!
Warning: Don’t use harmful power/ liquid or it may damage your eyes.
For example, using pepper powder can easily make a smoke pepper Powder Shot but it may damage your teammate’s eyes if they didn’t wear proper eyewear. Also, if you use stinky liquid, for example, vinegar, you may cause the same problem.

Real Action Paintball have sent in a report from their time at the HSI Tactical Seminar 2009 in New Jersey:
VIEW VIDEO OF THE T68 WITH SWAT
Real Action Paintball is proud to be part of the HSI Tactical Seminar 2009 in New Jersey. The event took place at Harbor Site International, the premier tactical training venue in Elmer, New Jersey. HSI presented one of the world’s most experienced security, training, and risk mitigation teams as part of the HSI Seminar. They invited security and police professionals from fifty two departments and tactical teams to join in a weekend-long summit discussing new technology in threat mitigation and less lethal response. These professionals work the streets and ports of the United States and the capitals of Europe, in Afghanistan and Iraq, and throughout Latin America, the Middle East, the former Soviet Union, Southeast Asia, and Africa. Their participation made the HSI Seminar an overwhelming success!
The SWAT, SRT, and other participants were excited to test and evaluate RAP4’s latest T68 training products. Outstanding for force-on-force tactical training as well as less lethal use in the field, RAP4’s T68 M4-styled compressed air powered carbines were extensively test fired and praised.
The T68 reflects the latest in tactical training technology, incorporating a fully functional magazine-feed system. The array of accessory interchangeability allows for a world of configurations: RIS CQB, Special Ops, with an onboard hidden air source or remote line connected to a bulk air container, red dot sights and scopes, flashlights, grenade launchers, and the ability to use either a full size hopper or magazine feed! The T68 M4 works with an 18 round detachable magazine, though an optional 200 round hopper adaptor is available for those who need more ammo capacity. With ergonomics, controls, and aesthetics replicating the M4 duty carbine, operators carry their instincts over perfectly between duty carbine and T68…making your range time that much more effective.
The RAP4 T68 training system is safe, effective, and costs less than 5 cents per shot. With RAP4’s specialized projectiles, you can train with marking rounds, non-marking water rounds (for use on MOUT and borrowed facilities), and rubber non-marking rounds. The kinetic reinforcement from being hit with these non-lethal training rounds is second to nothing for tactical training…and provides shot accountability with clear hits on target and in the surrounding environs. No other training system provides more trigger time that is as realistic or as effective.

Stirling Airsoft have sent us details of their 2010 events calendar:
Hi Guys,
Stirling Airsoft are pleased to announce details of our calendar for 2010 and there’s some good news for fans of our games at Copehill Down Village.
We’ll be running two (count ‘em) games at the Army’s FIBUA Training Village on Salisbury Plain next year, the first, Operation: Kingsman, on April 3rd and 4th and a second game, Operation: Tempest, on August 14th and 15th.
In addition to the two games at Copehill Down we’ll also have all our usual Airsoft Training Days at Stoneleigh along with plenty of airsoft games at Catterick and Combat Missions at Great Blackhill in Herefordshire.
You might also want to make special note of the Operation: Barracuda combat mission on September 25th and 26th, which will be taking place in Worcester and will feature three helicopters transporting players into the combat zone during the mission.
We will also be holding more airsoft games in Spain in 2010 but at the moment we don’t have any confirmed dates for when those games will be happening so we haven’t been able to put anything up on the calendar just yet. Rest assured that as soon as we do have definite dates for next year’s games in Spain we will update the calendar and post announcements about it on the Stirling Airsoft Blog as well as on our Twitter and Facebook profiles.
Of course, 2009 isn’t over yet and we’ve still got Op: Instant Justice, this year’s England vs Scotland game, to come at Catterick on the 5th and 6th of December. After England’s victory in last year’s game the Scottish team has everything to prove this time out.
As always you can find details of how to book your place at any of Stirling Airsoft’s events at the Stirling website or you can email matt@stirlingairsoft.com with your enquiries.
Thanks, Ken (Stirling Airsoft)

AGGMA have sent us news of a new HopUp system for the AWSS:
A NEW HOPUP SYSTEM FOR WE AWSS BY WETTI
The HopUp system on the WE/WETTI AWSS guns have been criticized for a long time. People have reported all kinds of errors and strange malfunctions. Some suggestions have been to adopt the old AEG system instead of the WE system. The thing is that it simply would not work on the AWSS system.
WETTI has now started the development of a new generation of HopUp.
