RAP4 have a new helmet out that looks more than up to Airsoft use (good for keeping your face and teeth how they should be):
Real Action Paintball is proud to announce the release of the new RAP4 Hawkeye paintball goggle is designed for tactical paintball, military combat training and law enforcement force-on-force training. The Hawkeye goggle is designed with a head and chin strap for your safety. This design prevents the goggle from being pushed down your face, or getting pulled up off of your face. This safety feature is a must for running, jumping, crawling, night play, and other strenuous operations in rough conditions. These straps secure the goggle tightly in place with comfort, too.
Click on image to enlarge:
Another distinct design advantage of the Hawkeye goggle is the flexible, soft goggle frame. This allows the chin guard to curve around the butt stock or air tank on your marker as you take aim. This is especially important for military combat training and law enforcement force-on-force training with T68 and other markers that feature stocks of real military specification.
You need a broad field of vision for training and playing at your best, and the Hawkeye goggle provides a 190° field of view, and clear vision with an anti-scratch and anti-fog thermal cured lens. Perhaps the most convenient attributes are the self-venting design and low profile construction; the vents keep your face cool and get humid air away from your lens (inhibiting fog), and the low profile is less likely to catch a ball or interfere with game play.
For hardcore training, milsim, or extreme safety, the Hawkeye goggle is compatible with helmets. The soft, flexible plastic frame allows for helmet straps to fasten securely and comfortably, and the entire unit is designed to be structurally efficient while maintaining the softness, flexibility and ventilation that paintball players expect.
The RAP4 Hawkeye paintball goggle is designed with these key features:
– 190° Wide Angle view for better peripheral vision
– Flexible Cheek Protector for comfort and better aiming
– Head Strap to keep goggle from falling down
– Chin Strap to keep goggle safely in place
– Dual Lens with Anti-Fog Treatment
– Compatible with helmets (RAP4)

Hi Arn, Things have been going a bit "camo crazy" over here at Strike – Hold! lately.

* Got the latest news – and photos – of the upcoming PenCott digital camouflage suits from Hyde Definition too.
* Also posted an article reviewing the Partizan camo over-suit made by Sposn.
* And put up a gallery of some of the more interesting camo patterns and combat clothing from the Russian company Modox.Plus, Airsoft Soldier #2, the establishment of the US Marine Corps’ Africa Command, the US Army’s search for an M4 replacement, and lots of other goodies…

Alfons has wants to introduce Airsoft Portal:
Ladies and gentlemen, fellow airsoftplayers,
Last year a good friend started the site www.airsoftportal.com. I started the site www.airsoft.eigenstart.nl
Recently we decided to join our efforts to give airsoftplayers from all over the world a chance to search the internet for information, teams, shops without the hassle of literally searching.
Our site www.airsoftportal.com is growing and I am in the process of adding more and more sites but we do have a policy about Airsoft teams, as not every Airsoft team wants to be listed on the internet.
Therefor I request you, if you are in a team, with a website and you want to be listed on our site. Please visit the site and register your team.
Thank you for your time. Alfons, (www.airsoftportal.com)

Nicholas Webb from Pilot Communications has got in touch as they have two products that may interest people looking to supply tactical headsets
As well as offering their own tactical headsets they can now offer new Bowman
headsets as supplied to the British Military.
They are currentlt looking for potential dealers and distributors across Europe
The pictures inset are of the Bowman headset and the Pilot TacCom headset. The picture of the TacCom headset varies slightly from the Airsoft headset as the radio lead is detachable for Airsoft.
The Bowman is also Genuine British Military Issue (they convert the radio lead
to be used with licence free radios).
Both headsets have detachable leads to allow different radio lead
attachments. At present the headsets are available in the UK via Zero One
Airsoft although they are looking for potential distributors/dealers across
Europe and America.
