Matthew Meraz at Fox Airsoft has been working on a series of articles on the history of Fox Airsoft, here is the first part:
HISTORY OF FOX – PART 1 – FROM AIRSOFT PLAYERS TO AN AIRSOFT BUSINESS
If I wanted to summarize the history quickly the highlight real would look like this: had an idea at Carls Junior, started selling guns out of the back of my car, moved to a store location, and the rest was history. It sounds simple and poetic, but not quite the whole picture. The reality is that what you see today at Fox Airsoft was 10 years in the making.
Team Blacksheep have been checking out the Strike Industries LINK fore grip:

A multi platform fore grip from Strike Industries is great for the beginner or advanced shooter out there.
Christian Becker, (Airsoft and Military News Blog) wanted to draw our attention (and that of your the readers) to a claim regarding an unrelated website that may have taken imitation a bit far.
Natrually if you run a website on an engine like Wordpress and a custom theme that is in the public domain it’s quite easy to see how such things can happen.
Natrually the guys at Airsoft & Military are a bit concerned that someone may be trying to pass their hard work off as their own:
Hi Arnies, today I contact you because we have a Copyright Infringement by AE Airsoft News Blog what we realised on IWA as we saw em and checked their website in the evening. Here´s the link to the full press release we have online on our web, would be nice if you could share this on your site as well. Thank you!

Many thanks for the help, Christian Becker (Airsoft and Military News Blog)
Here is all the latest news from Gunman Airsoft:
Dear Arnies Airsoft news,
We had a great weekend at Hertfordshire with excellent support from players, including several guys who were new to FilmSim/MilSim style games who really enjoyed it. We are looking to put a 24hr game on in October if possible at the site – keep an eye on our news feeds for details.
This weekend we are back at Tuddenham for the third and final part of the “El Chapo” saga. ‘El Chapo’ has fled Mexico and is now across the border and into Texas. He is trying to get to one of the many small farming airfields dotted around the local region. If he makes it to one and gets to a plane, the Texas rangers will have lost him to the depths of South America and back into the protection of the Mendoza Cartel.
Next weekend we return to Eversley with a new story based in Romania involving mercenaries smuggling packages across a huge gorge and out of the country. See event for full details and to book.Regards,
Josh Smith

Matt Furey-King from the UKAPU has brought to our attention Simon Jameson’s crowd funding project:
Hi Gents,
I’m just trying to spread the word about Simon Jameson’s crowd funding project. Simon is a well known airsoft player from Ireland who fights from a wheelchair due to a degenerative disability. Regardless, Simon is a proper airsoft player, like many of us airsoft is something he’s thrown himself into heart and soul. Unfortunately his current wheelchair is on its last legs and was never capable over rough terrain, so he’s crowdfunding to enable him to buy and modify a HexHog off-road wheelchair. He’s one of us so please donate and we can get him back out there in the field and laying rounds down.
Tank has had some great support so far, and even got on the radio, so crowdfunding has gone really well (half way there) but airsoft is still a small community so we need help from all over the world to get up to the final amount required.

Every little donation will help.
Many Thanks,
