Dr Airsoft has some bad news for Californian Airsofters but there’s still something they can do to help halt SB 1315:

California Airsofters lose another round in the SB 1315 battle.  Yesterday the California Senate passed SB 1315 in a 21 to 14 vote.  It is now expected to go on to the Assembly Public Safety Committee.  California residents should call members of the Committee to tell them to vote against this bill.  Be respectful and polite.  Here is a sample script you can use:

"I am (your name). My zip code is (your zip code)/ Please oppose SB 1315 which proposes to allow LA County to be unique among all municipalities in the State of California to restrict freedoms related to airsoft and small calibre paintball guns. This was tried last year on the state level with SB 798, which failed to pass. I share with Senator De Leon, the author of the bill, the desire to get airsoft guns out of the hands of unattended minors in public, but this bill is not the way to do it. The Airsoft Safety Foundation and Airsoft Medicine would like to work together with Senator De Leon to make this happen."

Andrew is searching for a some help with a film he is making this May near Buckingham:

Short Film, Gazpacho!, Needs Gun and Armourer

Shooting in the latter part of May, Gazpacho!, is a dark drama which chronicles a young girl methodically dealing with the abuse she’s suffered and deciding on a tragic course of action. The no-budget production is in need of help in the form of a realistic pistol and an armourer to give advice on handling and use. The weapon is not seen being used and appears for only a few minutes, yet its presence is pivotal to the conclusion of the story.

Shooting takes place near Buckingham in the latter part of May and should be completed in one day. Being a no-budget film, reasonable expenses only are being offered, along with a credit in the film and a copy of the final edit on DVD. And the opportunity to work with some enthusiastic guys with cameras. The shoot will be catered, so food and as much tea as you can drink will be on hand.

It’s expected that the film will be shown at festivals in the UK and abroad towards the end of 2012 and beginning of 2013.

Any interested folk should contact Andrew Griffin-

Muchas gracias! (The film is not in Spanish!)

Yep that’s right, WE have agreed to answer any questions you have to ask about their products or anything you want about WE. This thread can be found here.

The thread will be closed at the end of this month and all questions will be passed along to WE for them to generate their response.

With a bit of luck, I might try to see if I can sneak in a cheeky preview exclusive for ArniesAirsoft members.

I’ve worn my legs in quite well today but managed to get all the way over to the Umarex stand in the main hall.

The first items that immediately caught my eye were the HK416C and HK417D rifles. The HK416C is a compact railed fore grip AR style AEG with the sliding bar stock. The HK417D however is a replica of a 7.62 calibre rifle with the wider magazine and receiver.

Over in their pistol section were two Elite Force M1911 copies, both were 16 round CO2 driven 6mm GBB full metal replicas. The (currently) plain and marking free railed frame 1911 is expected to retail in the region of 120USD. It had an incredibly impressive spring return on the slide and I’m confident that the GBB recoil will impress. As I’m no fan of banana style stick magazines, I’m sold on the fact that the CO2 bulb and BBs are contained in the same single removable magazine.

I’m afraid I messed up the exposure on these pistol shots so will take some better photos tomorrow.

Also available from Umarex were a selection of lower priced replicas. The TF4 “OPS” Carbine (on the blue background) is an almost all plastic AEG with a plastic body and gearbox chassis, which is a variation on the standard unit (the original retails at just under 120USD a unit) and includes a battery, charger and BBs in the box.

Whilst clear replicas and low cost equipment might not be suitable for all purposes you certainly can’t complain at the value.

Giveaway is US only for now due to shipping costs.

White Rabbit has asked us to post this petition plea as he is an ex soldier it is something that is close to his heart:

SIGNED UP AND SENT ON  PLEASE?

Sergeant Matthew Telford of the Grenadier Guards was promoted to the rank in June 2009. In November of that same year, Sergeant Telford was one of 5 British soldiers killed when a rogue Afghan policeman opened fire on them.

His wife and family will only receive a Corporal’s pension since he only held his rank of Sergeant for less than a year. However, he was killed on operations by the enemy whilst wearing three stripes of a Sergeant on active service.

Please sign the petition below to support a change in the rules that deny a hero’s widow the pension she deserves.

http://soldiers-pensions.co.uk/?q=petition

Please forward onto any sympathetic contacts that you may have in your address book. It took me less than 5 minutes to do this; it really is very simple to do.
