Hi Guys,
We will now be adding a monthly news review to Arnies Airsoft showing you the latest kit that we have procured from Special Forces around the world. In addition we have some very exciting training days planned which will include a Parachute drop from 3,500 feet followed by a skirmish and wings parade, all training will be carried out by ex Red Devils so keep watching our news section!
As an appetiser we like to announce our competition to win a SAS Windproof Smock worth £79.99. This is the current issue SAS Windproof as issued to British Special Forces and not a copy or Arctic Windproof. The Windproof is brand new and in the packet with the correct NSN numbers as displayed on the picture.
All you have to do to win this smock is enter our competition and answer the following question – What year was the Battle of Hastings? Answers to competition@specialforceskit.co.uk the winner will be announced in this news section on the 5th of April 2008.

Sadly it looks to be the case that PowerEdge USA is closing (as mentioned in the forums):
We at Power Edge USA have had a very enjoyable opportunity serving all of our customers throughout these years. However with the changes in this industry and an economic down turn within the past few years we have come up with an unfortunate and sad decision. We at Power Edge USA will be shutting down our website (E-Commerce business) known as Power Edge USA. The last day that we will accept orders will be March 13th, 2008. The last day we will be physically shipping out parcels will be March 14th, 2008. All AEG warranty policies (if any) will be honored via our sister storefront Power Edge Hawaii. We would like to sincerely thank each and every devoted customer, fan, affiliates, and those whose lives we had the pleasure of affecting. Any product warranty issues or follow up after March 14, 2008 must be addressed via our sister storefront Power Edge Hawaii.PowerEdge USA

Stephen has sent in some rumours he heard from KingArms:
Hi there, just thought I would pass on some very good news from King Arms that I received after enquiring about their long promised L1A1 SLR replica.
As you may know, King Arms have long been promising the release of this AEG, right off the back of their popular FN FAL range in fact, but everything went suspiciously quiet on that front for a long time. In the meantime, STAR Airsoft released their L1A1 (and now Gun WorkShop has announced their custom L1A1).
So I contacted King Arms, and the good news is that the KA L1A1 AEG should be with us by Easter!
Quote: “Since Star Released their L1A1. Our engineer finally change their mind and add features. So , the release date is postponed again.
Last nite I talked with them. They said L1A1 is really under massive production period. Hope that the L1A1 will be released before Easter.
Thanks for your support. Best Regards…King Arms Sales.”
Quite what the changes to the King Arms SLR - motivated by the STAR release - will be is hard to say, since the KA SLR is based on their already proven and successful FN FAL series. One can only surmise that perhaps they were waiting to see if STAR was going to replicate the original weapons ’semi-auto only’ mechanism (which it has), or whether STAR was going to fudge the design by adding a ’skirmish friendly’ full-auto facility.
