That title for the story should get your attention. Winning US$100,000 is big a deal, especially if you're an avid RC hobbyist with a keen interest in developing DIY drones. We've been thinking about a UAV for airsoft use which we know that there are some people working on it (I hope Madbull Airsoft is reading this since they have a UAV in the works for sometime now).  And that is what DARPA wants you to do: develop a low cost (at US$10,000 each), portable drone that can be used by the US military to equip its soldiers in the near future.

It can be said with more confidence that the real steel FN SCAR Personal Defense Weapon (PDW) will soon be approaching production. We have initially reported about this last December 2010, when the French Defense Ministry wrote something about it. While there isn't one coming out for the airsoft market yet at least there's something to hope for as the airsoft community have been very well receptive of the FN SCAR Family.

Airsoft Shooting Bar Turned Into A "Resident Evil" Restaurant

Gungho Cowboy

We're not done yet on stories about video games for this week as we still have one more. Only in Japan where you can find an Airsoft Shooting Bar. Though not exactly are they allowing airsoft shooting and drinking mix, as they have strict rules of not allowing you to target shoot with their airsoft guns when you're already inebriated. I would love to go to a bar which allows me to shoot airsoft guns. Too bad, there are not any around.

OptimusPrime

Since we have video games as topics in the past few days, then it's my turn to write about one. It's not about SAS, it's not about Navy SEALS, and definitely it's not about Task Force 141. But it's more about the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) being the good guys which is making the powers-that-be in Beijing extremely happy. At least they get to kick America's ass in this video game in which they are the good guys.
