Okay time for some updates today, and first up the lads at OPSEC Airsoft Radio have posted a new show:

Hey Arnie,

Our weekly broadcast went off without a hitch despite having our studio engineer out as well as two of our hosts out due to illness. In fact, we even managed to sell out all of our live listener slots… which I guess is not so much of a freak occurrence these days. We talked about how various modern tech gadgets have shaped in-game play and spent a little time going over the pro’s and con’s of carrying a pistol in-game. For those interested, the show is now available for download via iTunes (search for “opsec” in the Music Store) or via direct download at the below link:

Hey Arnie,

Two updates in one week… not sure if you should be sad or disgusted, but either way, we have another “gold nugget” for you. Last night we returned to our weekly Thursday-broadcast format and rambled on about our hobby for nearly 2 hours. We covered a few of the latest gun/gear releases, read some listener email and even debuted a new segment called “Have you ever wondered…”.

Issue number 5 of AirsoftXtreme is out, here’s the details:

“Weathering the Storm”

From the beach to the desert and now, the mountains of Eastern Europe—AX has been to places where only a few have dared. We were right smack in the “meat grinders” of Megaball ’07, at the tip of the spear in Kalis 7 and we belittled the gloomy weather forecast during the 4QS! We will risk everything just to bring our readers the best of what the airsoft world has to offer whether it be within our borders or beyond. We have made our friends, forged alliances and incurred the ire of those who frown upon our efforts and smirk at our achievements. I guess it is true that when you’re behind the lead horse, the view never changes.

For those who still doubt what we stand for, we can only say that we do take airsoft seriously. Not only do we cover events, we also immerse ourselves in the game get our share of welts and bruises. It is such a comforting fact that people we meet in the field know us by name and our reputation remains unblemished. One year, four issues and eight countries later, here we are still at it and going strong! If ever we can attribute our success to one single factor, that would be the undying support of people who believe—airsofters, friends and our sponsors.

And for those who keep believing, Iron Maidens is proof positive of our commitment to play beyond our borders and reach out to all airsofters around the globe. Our cover girls, Katya and Yuliya are two teeners who came straight out of Eastern Europe to pose for us and the uniforms they donned are as authentic as they can get. Airsoft for some may simply be “playing soldier” but for me and my staff at AX, airsoft is our way of life.
