Gemtech T-5 System

Mad Bull Airsoft have sent in details about their GemTech T5 system:

image001 This is Gemtech’s new product lines, called T5. It was listed as Gemtech’s latest product but is not online now.

Anyway, we are producing the replica now and we have a new idea to solve rail handguard swinging problem.

The real gun is using "gas pipe" to index the rail system and upper receiver.

Toy guns don’t have the "gas pipe" and the rail handguard may swing and can’t index.

In order to improve the swinging problem, you can either
(1) Use "MadBull/MAX Tactical RAS FIX" scope mount
ideal. [See below]

(2) Our new idea:

This new device is special designed for Airsoft guns (without gas pipe.)

Mr. J.C., Art Center/ USA, is the designer for this device (The red color one).

Anyway, many new items coming. Let’s wait and see! MadBull

New site for ShadowOpz - based in Sturry, Kent

Published
by
Arnie
on 16:31 June 20, 2008
in Skirmish Site News
.

Dino has sent in word of their new ShadowOpz site based in Kent. Their website is currently showing a 404 but I’m sure that’ll clear up shortly:

Our objective  is to give you an experience which will not be forgotten, here you can find out about our latest operations and milsims. This site is dedicated to providing info for those who dare to taste the ShadowOpz Combat experience.

image

We generally combine Tactical Airsoft play with some military live action role-playing elements. Several goals or missions are assigned to each team as a foundation for confrontation in firefights and other simulated military-style combat.

In contrast to a standard skirmish, , we  put less emphasis on speed and more emphasis on military tactics. Our  games are usually scheduled to last between 1 and 3 hours , or can  run over an entire weekend. In more elaborate cases, games may be played overnight, so strategic elements such as setting up observation posts, sleeping quarters, maintaining perimeter security and the like are added to the experience.

Another aspect of our  games is the global desire for players to look and feel the part . Hence, our  games may have uniform or clothing requirements specific to the scenario being played.

In our safe zone we have our own food and refreshments van and a communal area were you can relax at any time through out the day. Dino (ShadowOpz)

There’s a new Airsoft magazine out and available for a paid subscription:

Hello!

We are pleased to announce a new player in the arena of Airsoft magazines. We have published a Finnish magazine for three years and secured a loyal base of readers locally. The magazine has been critically acclaimed by many foreigners, who have expressed interest in a magazine of such high level in English as well. Based on the growth of the Finnish magazine, we are finally able to make the dream come true. We present to you, Airsoft Soldier.

Please see our news PDF, available for download from http://www.airsoft-soldier.com/airsoft_soldier.pdf

Cheers,

Sauli Luolajan-Mikkola, (Airsoft Soldier Magazine)

The PDF content is below:

image AIRSOFT SOLDIER IS OUT!

The Finnish Airsoft-magazine Softaaja has been publishing articles and promoting our hobby for more than three years in Finland. During these three years, our magazine has played a part in transferring the local scene from a shady underground activity to one of the largest and fastest growing hobbies for young men.

We have received lots of feedback from other countries that our magazine looks top notch in terms of graphics and layout, but they can not understand our peculiar language. Our magazine isn’t Hustler, so many have genuine interest in reading the articles as well!

Now it is possible: Airsoft Soldier is reality! The magazine has 68 pages, is printed on high quality glossy paper and will be published three times in the year 2008. The first issue is out already, the second one is scheduled for August/September and the third Airsoft Soldier comes out in December.

The magazine is available on our website www.airsoft-soldier.com , where you can order your own copy of Airsoft Soldier. The first issue is only 3 euros delivered to your doorstep. An additional 1.5¤ for postage is added for orders outside Europe. Credit cards are welcome. Subscribers of the magazine get the first issue free of charge!

Airsoft Soldier will be launched officially in Berget 6, Sweden, where the first issue is available for free from the booth of Redwolf Airsoft. Please drop by and have a chat when you aren’t too busy shooting other players!

Mad Bull (Mad Bull Airsoft) has sent in the results of some tests that Kotte Zeller have run on their products. I’ll leave it for them to explain the findings:

Gents,

Our Germany distributor, KOTTE ZELLER, mailed this magazine published in Germany. (Thanks Laila)

Our barrel rank top ONE compared to 19 other different brands, including CA, KA, DB Custom, KM, Kyou, G&G, Deep Fire, PDI, Systema, Prometheus, JBU, King Barrels, Element, and others.

I know we invest a lot of money on developing our Blackpython tightbore barrels but I still can’t believe our barrel is that good.

image001

This German magazine using ZEISS PRISMO 3-D navigator to test all barrels and our barrel is the top ranking.

Special thanks to Dr. Lee, the inventor of the barrel and Mr. Wu, the engineer of the barrel.

Also thanks to KOTTE ZELLER and Airsoft-Magazin.de Without you, I, (we) never know our barrels are listed on top!

See detail data, check here: (PDF 4MB)

Yours, MadBull (Mad Bull Airsoft)
