AATV have a new video out. They also make a mention that they are open to donations.

If you can please do donate – the videos that they produce are not only entertaining but informative. I’ve donated some cash to them, if you can and think it’s worthwhile then the link is there on their website:

Hey there, AATV released its latest review video of three Full Steel AK variants: The Real Sword Type 56, LCT AMD-65 and Kalash AK 105. Its available from YouTube or www.aatv.at

As always, donations would be welcomed. Especially since not a single person donated after the release of the last ten videos ;)

Regards, Gregor, (AATV)

Airsoft-Soldier‘s new issue is due out shortly, they hope that no one has to wait much longer for it as there has been a slight delay:

Hey guys!

We have had quite a lot of trouble with bringing up our fourth issue, but now things are looking much better.

There will be a large article about Real Sword´s new SVD sniper rifle and about WE´s gas operated M4 carbine.

We also have a lot of articles with eastern influence: equiment in Afghanistan, gas operated AKS-74(U) and how to pimp up your AK-47, etc. We will keep you updated when magazine will be out.

Art of War Photo have sent in news to introduce their site:

Art of War Photo reaches across the globe.

Shortly following the ARMS Corps MilSim event, Operation: Adrenaline Rush, Art of War Photo received over 300 photos detailing the battle.  Just prior to this event, Art of War Photo received, on average, about 90 visits a day. In the days that followed, according to Google Analytics, Art of War Photo would receive no less than 17000 page views with visitors scattered across 12 countries.  “In the last week we have received hundreds of MilSim action photos from the UK, France and Canada and we’ve got new members from as far away as New Zealand” said, Jim Roncal, creator of Art of War Photo.  “I don’t think any of us were expecting such a response but we’re really looking forward to whatever happens next.  Most of the time MilSim enthusiasts just hang around their own forums but with Art of War you can post photos, videos and music that will be seen and heard all over the world by people interested in the sport.  Not only that but you can create discussions about Airsoft and MilSim, write blogs or even chat with people in the network.  I chatted with a guy from France about bringing U.S. Marines to play in Europe.  The long and short of it is that we want people from the U.S. to see how huge Airsoft is all over the world.  If people that don’t play see what a rush it is then hopefully they’ll get into the next skirmish.  No matter where it is.  We want Art of War Photo to be THE MilSim media experience.”

While there are several websites that allow players to post photos, Art of War is unique because of a very innovative mobile media messenging service named “Show Me!”.  “You can shoot an action photo with your camera phone” describes Jim Roncal regarding the ShowMe! software.  “Then you email it to Art of War Photo with whatever caption you want in the subject line.  That photo will come back to your phone with a custom frame including your caption.  The moment it comes back to your phone it also uploads to Art of War with that caption.  Anybody on the Art of War site will see what you’re doing on the battlefield.” For more information about Art of War Photo please visit www.artofwarphoto.com.
