The Magnum Boots Response III 8" Boots in Tan colour get reviewed by Merlin Airsoft News... "This week, we take a look at Magnum’s Response II 8.0 tactical boots in Tan. These were given to me by Magnum just before Raptac’s Operation Viper Strike, and I have used them in the mountains of North Carolina, Theme parks of South Carolina, rubble piles in Indiana, and back to an abandoned factory in South Carolina.

Merlin reviews the Enola Gaye EG18 and Burst Smoke Grenades and here is what he says about these...

EG is also the preferred smoke of major retailers and many local shops, meaning it is readily available for your weekend skirmishes AND your major MilSim Operations."
