February 2008
I’m currently upgrading the site look and feel along with the front page, so please bear with me if things look a little screwy while I work on getting things upgraded.
Update 19:52 – Well there’s a heap of work done now, but there’s a bit more to do yet. Currently a few things might not quite look right or as expected, however site look and speed should now be restored.
Update 23:00 – I’ve rebuilt the main sidebar and have got most of the features up and running now that we had previously. 99% there.

Hi folks, Radar (OPSEC Airsoft Radio) has mailed in about their latest radio show, here’s the news:
Hey Arnie,
Last night’s broadcast was a little rough, but we trucked on with the show like the good troopers we are. We talked about the seldom thought of hidden dangers associated with airsoft and even a few of the obvious ones. Our studio engineer Jem was back this week, saving us from the nightmare that is me running the board!
For those interested, the show is now available for download via iTunes (search for “opsec” in the Music Store: Link)
or via direct download at the below link:

Irish has sent in word of an event called OP: Live Trigger (www.Tocairsoft.com). Here are the details:
Hey Guys,
I just wondered if you would post a little something about our event in your news section. It’s the first big OP to hit Minnesota in a long time and we’re planning to make it a smashing success.
OP website: www.Tocairsoft.com Then click on the link to OP: Live Trigger
We are posting frequent story updates every couple of weeks and have an official forum set up at this address.
I have attached a couple of our recent “news posts” and the official logo.
Thanks,
Irish, (www.Tocairsoft.com)

In confirmation to Arnie’s previous story (viewable here), Systema have been in touch with the full details of downtime for Systema:
Our factory is under extension/remodel construction now.
Although we continue usual business now, we have to temporarily stop business from beginning to middle of March because of carrying components in etc.
We expect that the orders which we will have received before early next week will be able to be corresponded late in March. However, as for the orders which we will receive after late next week, we expect that the shipment will be considerably delayed.
(Systema)
The upshot of this is most likely, at the worst, that some retailers will temporarily run out of Systema stock for a short period. However, most retailers appear to have good stock levels for Systema products normally, so the disruption should be at a very minimum.

Rather than the system we did have which detected if you were trying to view the site on a smartphone or a PDA and then sent you to a page for that phone, we’ve now got a simple subdomain setup. If you want to check our news on a PDA or smartphone, just pop onto m.arniesairsoft.co.uk. This will direct you to a Google powered page, which if you’ve got a google account will remember what you’ve read (articles read aren’t displayed).
It’s a bit of a cop out using Google rather than writing the code ourselves, however I like Google, I hate reinventing the wheel, and this method is really fast! ;)

Last year Magpul released an Airsoft version of the MIAD grip that only replicated an approximation of the unit, now with the release of the version 2 operators are now able to actually able to change the fit of the grip to suit their specific requirements.
Also Magpul have announced both black and dark earth versions of their new PTS AR Metal receivers, the overall finish looks outstanding but straight away you can tell it lacks a lot of the new features found on other brands.
Dear all,
Shot Show just finished and I would like to provide news update for our upcoming new products.
– Magpul PTS AR Metal Receiver: This is original design from Magpul. It fits TM type Ver II gear box.
– Magpul PTS MIAD Grip (Full Kit): This is an upgraded version MIAD Grip for airsoft AR15/M4 and the back straps are changeable.
Please find the attached photos for your reference.

Kumi at Systema has sent out a quick email with an update concerning their upcoming MP5 release. Nothing amazing news wise – their MP5 is going to be delayed:
Dear SYSTEMA Dealers
Thank you very much for your continued patronage to SYSTEMA products.
Although we have received a lot of the inquiries about PTW MP5 and Revolution, please wait for a while. Our factory has temporarily stopped development works because of remodeling and extension work. We are surprised and appreciate for so many responses.
Since we try to work as hard as possible so that we can respond to your expectation, please kindly give us some time to prepare additional information.
We would like to send detailed information such as the price and specification by the end of February.
Thank you for your kind understanding. (Systema)

Not much of an update in terms of scale, but I have finally got around to updating the forums with the navigation bar.
Darn, was halfway through that then ran out of power on my laptop. Mental note to self – don’t ignore low power warnings…
Now where was I? I am going to see how much of my "web chores" I can get through this week.
As Marlowe mentioned in a previous post we are looking to expand and develop the site further (and from my point of view to better organise the resources that we already have), do check his news post on that for more info.
I do get a lot of mail asking me the same question, which concerns getting news and events posted on here. If you are a retailer, distributor or anyone in the airsoft scene and are looking to get some text and/or images posted on here about your product/news/event/etc ten please do mail us at news@arniesairsoft.co.uk and we will hook you up as quickly as we can.
