Thousands of votes have been cast, but it's not over yet as you have one week remaining to make your vote count for the 2nd Airsoft Players' Choice Awards. It is still hard to say who are the clear winners by now, only when the final votes are cast and counted then we can say who the winners are in the various awards categories.

That was quick, Scaar of Airsoft Austria Television (AATV) already got back to Austria on the 20th of January and didn't wait for the official closing of the SHOT 2012. He already submitted two videos that were included in our previous SHOT 2012 report and now here are more videos that he was able to process for your viewing pleasure:

Well, sometimes a bit of controversy can spice up an event. During the Shot Show 2010, the FBI visited the event with arrest warrants, and rounding up 21 executives including the Vice President of Sales of Smith & Wesson for violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

We roll back the days a little bit for the Shot Show 2012 coverage as we go to the Airsoft Medicine's Coverage of the Show starting with their introduction. You can check out more videos as we mentioned yesterday as posted by the Airsoft Medicine team comprised of Dr. Airsoft and Rangemaster Larry. Watching the introductory video would guide you in using their playlist.

More video reports are coming in from the Shot Show 2012. There are three submissions, apart from the other news that we have posted in the News section. What we can say that the airsoft media is having a field day on the first day itself. And come to think of it, they're just starting to report, which means more news will follow in the following days and we hope we can keep up with them.

We anticipate an interest on the upcoming KRISS Vector Gas Blowback rifle being made by KWA for KRISS Arms Group by the airsoft media at the Shot Show 2012. And indeed, the first report from the floor by an airsoft media is about it, with Tom Harris of the Pyramyd Air Blog sending a video of the prototype and about other personalities that have been rocking the airsoft world these days: 

The SHOT 2012 is about to start today, but we're slowly getting reports coming from the usual suspects. As Tim Ellwood of No Airsoft for Old Men blog promised, he has sent us initial photos he has taken with with guys as they kept themselves from getting bored while in Las Vegas waiting for the show to start and what a way to start the week in Las Vegas.

It's that time of the year again where the biggest show on firearms and tactical hear is held. The Shot Show 2012 will be starting tomorrow, 17th of January 2012, and ends on the 20th at Sands Expo Convention Centre in Las Vegas. This time, the Airsoft Media will be more organised as they will be sending in the latest reports and feeds from the exhibit floor.

This is my story for the fan boys of online gaming, airsoft players and gun nuts around the globe as Team Swiss Invaders got to go to a special place that only dreams are made of. It's always a privilege to visit a real firearms manufacturer, especially one which has a very much famous firearm that will soon be replicated for the airsoft market and anticipated by the global airsoft community.

Last Wednesday, 11 January 2012, Gentex Corporation announced their acquisition of OPS-CORE Incorporated, leading to a consolidation in a fast improving field of helmet technology for military use.
