February 2005

Airsoft Scotland have updated their special offer pages with shots of a new BB pyro, and biodegradable tracer BBs. If that’s not enough for the more colour co-ordinated folks out there you can grab the tracer BBs in both orange and green:

*NEW* Tennis-ball BB grenade. Pre-order.
Brand-new design made in the UK and available within the next two weeks. 100% biodegradable made from recycled cardboard and contains dried peas instead of BB’s. The ‘tennis-ball’ shape is made from aerial shell cases used in professional firework displays and WILL NOT break or crush in your pocket under normal conditions. Honestly, these are extremely tough and the bang and spread of shrapnel is devastating! The spherical shape allows for a truly omni-directional shrapnel zone :D

This is a pre-order opportunity as we reckon demand will seriously outweigh supply. On their arrival, we will change the ‘Pre-order’ heading to *Arrived* so please don’t email us asking “are they here yet?” ‘cos we will Trojan your ass……well, maybe not :)

Price: £3.50

Excel Bio-Tracer 0.2g 6mm BB’s (800)
An excellent quality of BB and biodegradable into the bargain! Your balls will rot naturally whilst using these, why do you think Frenchie walks like he does? Available in green or orange which can therefore be used to identify fire from specific teams.

Please note: Tracer BB’s require a Tracer Unit to illuminate the BB’s. (BB’s are shown here under UV lighting)

Price: £8.99 (Airsoft Scotland)

Jo (Flecktarn.co.uk) has sent over word from them of a new product that they are stocking. Here’s the news from her:

Our own production, especially designed to carry two P90 magazines per pouch
in a convenient, low-profile format. The pouch is so designed to allow for
the quick withdrawal of single magazines one at a time, by containing a
single magazine in each of the two pockets. Pouches open quickly and quietly
with genuine issue Spanish fly-type openers, eliminating the slow and clumsy
operation associated with fastex buckles and the loudness of velcro closers.
Pouches are designed to eliminate possibility of loss of magazines by
enclosing over two thirds of the length of the magazine.

The magazine pouch has
a semi-rigid backing to help keep the pouch in shape for better stability
without adding much to the overall weight of the pouch and each pocket has a
rivetted drainage hole at the bottom for good ventilation. Pouches are
designed to be able to be worn straight onto a belt, as well as clipped to
the belt with the aid of webbing adapter plates or Alice clips.

Each pouch
is made in Germany to the highest standards using only genuine military
cordura which is internally waterproofed and coated with an IRR resistant
compound. Jo, (Flecktarn.co.uk)
