The UKARA (UK Airsofting Retailers’ Association) have been in touch to request that we place the following statement regarding their optional players database which they are now trailling:
The UKARA data base scheme is now registering Game Sites who wish to join, and some site will start registering players this weekend. The Games sites registration application form is available to download. The player “Skirmishers” registration form is also available to down load from http://www.ukara.org.uk and has already passed the 2000 mark. Currently over 17 sites have joined and 16 retailers with 13 awaiting approval There is no charge being made by UKARA for either registrations, please read terms and conditions before returning these forms. The data base is now operating in limited trial mode and seem to be performing up to specification and will be fully operational before the 1st of October to enable UK Airsoft players to continue to legally purchase Realistic Replica Firearms.
(UKARA)
Now for the important ArniesAirsoft disclaimer (ahem):
Please note that Arnies Airsoft has no affiliation or involvement with the UKARA database.
Registering and use of such a database is entirely at the individual’s choice and risk, and will be entirely optional at this present time for sales on ArniesAirsoft.
In other words, until the big boss (Arnie) says otherwise, the use of such a database is entirely the individual’s choice and responsibility on these forums. We will not enforce consultation of any database unless Arnie decides upon a change in forum policy.
Cheers.

Troy Kim (www.2roy.com) has sent in word of a new product that they have. Designed for the Tanaka M700 this allows you to use a Marui style hopup set with M700:
Dear Arnies, How are you?
This is the new product which i made for TANAKA m700.
As you all know normal TANAKA hop up system is so unstable for long range shot (40-50M with 0.36G BB).
Many people want to use Marui hop up system to TANAKA m700/m40. So I designed this and now finally complete this product.


Hopefully this things will be known many TANAKA sniper users and clear the problem.
Thanks a lot. My best regards

Simply head on over to www.fire-support.co.uk and search their product pages to find the missing Birthday related items, which will appear at random, starting from Monday 10th Sept through to Friday 21st Sept. There are 4 to find, and we want to know what the item was, along with the 3 digit code at the bottom of the picture (so we know you aren’t guessing!)
Only when you have found all 4 items, send the answers through to defconairsoft@googlemail.com with the heading ‘competition entry’, telling us what the items were with their corresponding 3 digit numbers. Please include your name, age, address and contact telephone number. This information is IMPORTANT so please don’t miss it off, otherwise you may not be entered into the draw.
There are 2 prizes to be won - 1st draw: Marui Glock 17 GBB and the 2nd draw: Pro Peak AC/DC Charger. So you’ve got double the chance of winning something!

After a quick bit of playing around Arnies is now readily accessible from most PDAs. I’ve just tested it on Windows Mobile 5/6 here and systems like the PSP that have a web browser in them and all look pretty good.
Quick access key shortcuts are enabled and images in news posts are resized to work with the browser window keeping size down and mobile screens tidy.
To try this out on your own gear simply point the browser on your PDA or phone to http://arniesairsoft.co.uk and the rest just happens.
If anyone gets an problems with the browser showing you the PDA page instead of the usual one let me know via email (arnie [at] arniesairsoft [dot] co [dot] uk)
