Popular Airsoft Magazine June 2008 Issue Ready for Download!

Sorry folks for the delay. We have a new layout artist and we’re trying to make some changes to the layout so hence the delay. Also some issues with net connections, as we work as a virtual team spread-out in three continents. But still no excuse for us, or else we’ll have to show our bums at the grocery store.

PopularAirsoftMagazine Volume 1 Issue 3 released

v1_issue3_coverThe new issue of Popular Airsoft Magazine is now out (you can see the new issue here):

The May 2008 issue of Popular Airsoft Magazine is now released and another reason for an enjoyable download. This issue is about Close Quarters Combat (CQC) and we’ve got loads of articles for you to read! It’s worth the money downloading this issue as it is a much-anticipated one.

Our writers have gone beyond the call of duty this time, and have been very prolific at writing stories and making reviews. We’ve covered some basics on CQC, and went to Elektrowerkz, the centre for hardcore CQC airsofters in London.

What’s more, we present to you two face-offs in the budget AEG area, the M4 CQB-Rs from JG, DBoys, and A&K, plus the MP7s from Well and Galaxy. Going further in our CQC issue, we interviewed two great CQC teams: the FCS Delta-Alpha (Team Dark Angels), and the SWAT Airsofters Philippines. We also have two DIY articles covering tactical lighting and building Patriot M4s. Plus, stuff from Echo1 USA and Madbull Airsoft were reviewed. And before we forget, we’ve got two grenades featured in this issue, stuff you can’t do without when playing in CQC sites and the airsoft events that happened in the US and the Philippines.

Popular Airsoft Magazine - maiden issue out now

PopAirMag_V1_I1_cover There’s a new magazine on the block with issue one out now (comments and thoughts in the forums here):

Whew! We can finally say it’s here, the Popular Airsoft Magazine. After several months of discussions with friends and team mates, we finally sat down and started writing all those what we want to share with you. With the support of PopularAirsoft.com and its publisher, Billion Tribes Limited, the Magazine has now become a reality. This is what we mean we posted that “Something’s Definitely Cooking Up Here!”

You might say, “not another airsoft magazine”, and yes we are another airsoft magazine which we hope would be able to harness the global conversations among airsoft players, wherever they are. ACE Magazine is truly a collaboration of players from Asia, Europe and North America, and hopefully the rest of the world will follow. Thus, what you’re going to read here in this maiden issue are stories written by airsoft players from the UK, United States, and the Philippines. What we all have written here is how we see things through our own very eyes, and how we experience airsoft with the rest of our senses. We will not claim to be the most accurate or the most authoritative in our reviews, stories, and tips, but we can claim to be honest on what we write about. We think that the unique selling point of this magazine is about being honest  and we will write stories as we see fit.
