Thumpy has sent over an important safety video from BB Bastard:

Thought you guys would want to pass this along, as the BB Bastard guys have done some in-depth slo-mo testing of their silica rounds and are going to stop selling them.  Reason is easy to see in the video, and the guys also explain why.

Thumpy has brought the work of the South Florida Airsoft Association to our attention:

The South Florida Airsoft Association is trying…as you will hear in this video…to establish America’s FIRST County-Sponsored airsoft park playsite.  This could be huge, as it will set a precedent for USA county and city governments to "sponsor" airsoft as a sport/activity that will equal softball, soccer/football, skateboarding and other athletic/recreation events…and once the mold is cast, this concept could be reproduced EVERYWHERE in the USA!
