There’s a new issue of Airsoft Soldier out:
We just got the third issue of Airsoft Soldier from the print, and it’s looking B-E-A-U-tiful!
At the time of writing it is already shipped out to our subscribers and dealers. In this issue we have made improvements (“third time’s the charm”) and we’ve had more resources to put into the development of the magazine. The content is again made to cover a wide scope of interest, and every airsofter will find useful and interesting articles to their liking, as well as a possibility to learn something new. We have beautiful pictures from an IPSC Action Air (Airsoft Practical) event in Macao, vivid coverage about airsoft in Hungary and a mammoth of an article about an innovative new type of an airsoft event in Estonia. We also take a step to the new world and our Team Introduction features a US-based team this time, Spartan Assault from Maine.
Our electric reviews feature the brand new King Arms GALIL SAR as the cover story, the rather refined Systema TW5A4, and the “Star of Israel” UZI SMG by Tokyo Marui. Further for electric guns, our “Pimp My Gun” has instructions how to build your own FET-unit with a braking feature. The gas gun articles this time are the Star AW338 and the Socom Gear Wilson Combat CQB Elite. Check out full list of the contents from our website at www.airsoft-soldier.com.
On top of these there are lots of smaller stories and articles of combat and safety gear as well as accessories, and a “Special Gun” is again featured.
New subscribers will receive a calendar for the year 2009 free of charge together with the magazine. The calendar features rather cool airsoft photography and a very attractive centerfold. New subscriptions start from issue #4 by default, and the order form features boxes to tick if you wish to have the previous issues as well.
Regards, Jarkko Koskinen (Editor-in-Chief, Airsoft Soldier)

Every day the news is pretty much the same about the economy and to the untrained eye it may look like Airsoft has suffered it’s first casualty however that’s not the case here.
Battle Orders Ltd have been around for longer than I can remember and have been hit hard by all the latest legislation (such as the VCRA). As a result the are hosting a closing down sale and expect to close on the 6th of Feb:
Battle Orders will close as of 6th February 2009. Many items are now just one only.
There is some good news. Andy Lawrence, the Manager of Battle Orders, will be continuing with a range of products not affected by the V.C.R. Act, that’s Arms and Armour, Western Guns and edged weapons. (Battle Orders Ltd)
The following is a statement that they have posted on their website:
Dear Valued Customer
In my 35 years as Managing Directors of Battle Orders, this is the most difficult letter I’ve had to write. Battle Orders will cease trading by early in 2009 or once stocks are cleared. Its a bitter blow for me and I’m sure many a customer such as yourself. I believe you deserve an explanation. Its not the Credit crunch, that’s difficult of course for us all. Business remains reasonably steady here at Battle Orders. Its quite simply the Law or Actually the "LAWS". Over the past few years so many laws been put in place and vigorously applied. The effect is catastrophic for legitimate businesses such as Battle Orders. We’ve being asked, in effect,to police and take responsibility for individuals who wish to circumvent and break these Laws. Frankly here at Battle Orders we’re just not able to do this with any certainty that we are not also breaking the Law. So sadly its time to cease Trading. Battle Orders plan an orderly retreat. No new stock as of October 2008 is being purchased As it sells, the stock will not be replaced. So it really is a case of First Come First and Finally Served!! So whatever your interest is I suggest you try and buy it now. Finally and simply thank you for you custom and good luck in the future with your chosen hobby.
Graham Barton (MD, Battle Orders Ltd)

Rob at Be-Well has mentioned that the MoD are clamping down on unauthorised sales of surplus ration packs. Best advice is as always to buy from sources you know to be legitimate:
Hi Arnie and Happy New Year. I hope this finds you well.
As you may be very well aware the MOD are finally clamping down heavily and stopping the sale of all ex-military ration packs be it via a retail shops, market stalls or eBay, so its a good time to maybe consider buyer directly from a manufacturer that makes both such specialised light weight freeze dried and wet rations.
For a full 2009 pricing list please contact Be-Well Expedition and Military Foods.
I look forward to hearing from you.
