I just got off reading the second volume of the graphic novel series "Black Powder Red Earth" which I downloaded to read via Amazon Kindle. One of the best graphic novels I've ever read so far, the series is still far from over, so I cannot tell how this story sums up in the end. If you haven't heard about the Graphic Novel, chances are, you have encountered the Black Powder Red Earth Role Playing Game at Facebook.

It's always a dream for airsoft players that they have something to use against airsoft zombies --- players who do not call their hits even it's pretty much obvious that they've been hit and they're aware of it. The bane of airsoft games, airsoft zombies are always disdained at skirmish sites and shunned by players, but they still keep coming just like the living dead.

I'm pretty sure that many of you have heard about War Game 229, a Taiwan-made film that involves airsoft, and this time airsoft is used as is, not as props in an action movie in which they fire with muzzle flash, bullet casings, and bullets via software f/x. It is, even if the director and producers of the film may not admit, is an airsoft movie. War Game 229 was shown in theaters in Taiwan last October 28, 2011, and it's only just now that we are able to watch the movie with English subtitles.

Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) added another member to their Negev Family of Light Machine Guns.

As airsoft is becoming one of the favourite past times of recreational shooters and milsim enthusiasts, it is also becoming a favourite tool for training with some of the respective tactical trainers already making statements affirming such. Whilst it has been a no-brainer for airsoft enthusiasts that airsoft can give valuable shooting and tactical skills, for those who are concerned about real life tactical situations, airsoft meets their requirements to develop skills.

The Soldier Systems Blog has extensively been covering the new Urban Wolf Color from Arc'teryx which is getting a lot of attention from tactical apparel observers and that includes us as this new color promises a new type of "Urban Blend" which means this color is disruptive in urban environments and a blessing for urban operators.

As explained by Arc'teryx:

The Blackhawk! SERPA Holster Series are not getting any break. Whilst they have become popular holsters for real steel and airsoft users alike, problems have occured and reported by people. I have to admit that I have experienced issues with it twice and all this time, but I attributed it to user error rather than a manufacturing defect.

Shown previously at the Shot Show 2012, this night vision adaptor for the iPhone 4 and 4/S made by Black Heart International (BHI) would surely bring out the stalker, errr... lowlight film making creativity within us. The problem though is that it needs to be fitted with the AN/PVS-14 night vision monocular which costs thousands of bucks, many times more expensive than the hottest smartphone on the planet.

For those who have been waiting to watch the 3-Gun Nation Championships Season 2 organised by FNH USA, now you can view all the episodes online as they post the episodes each week.
