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.
