When you are in Dubai, and have the itchy trigger finger, then you might want to find an airsoft site that caters to your needs. There is a new one that will be opened very soon as sent in by Sir Ramses.
Off-Duty Cop Shoots Man with Airsoft Pistol Dead
Gungho Cowboy
Here we go again. Another attempt at scaring off police with an airsoft gun ends in tragedy. This time. there was some struggle and the man was suspected to be about to pull off a heist, with a replica gun, and using their "crashed" car as decoy to stop the pick-up truck that one of the off-duty cops were riding on on their way home. Unfortunately, just announcing themselves as police officers didn't deter the suspect with his airsoft pistol, and got shot by the cops. You don't have a chance against authorities wielding the real thing. This happened in Tuczon, Arizona.

Landwarrior is still alive and it's going to Afghanistan
Gungho Cowboy
The much discussed, admired, maligned, depending on your point of view, Landwarrior Project of the US Army is still very much alive, after being resurrected from some successes that it has achieved.

OptimusPrime
We have seen this coming, especially with the news that Umarex has gotten the rights to Heckler and Koch rights to design and trademark. It's no surprise that they have made a move via Continental Enterprises which is said to be "trademark extortionist" according to The Tabberone Trademark & Copyright Abusers' Hallf of Shame in litigation-friendly US of A. Airsoft forums in the US are abuzz with these developments and we do not know how this
Major Fail! Woman breaks plastic gun in robbery attempt
Gungho Cowboy
This one's for the books. Too bad, another airsoft gun, a cheap one at that, was used in a robbery attempt that ended in major failure. Good thing the authorities were able to arrest the female robber who must be that desperate enough to bluff her way in a brazen attempt to rob someone.
On the Brighter Side: This Lad should be commended
Gungho Cowboy
Finally! A welcome story about a lad taking action to ensure that airsoft gets its proper place in the community. I have posted some stories before of young people irresponsibly using airsoft guns, causing concern and panic in their own communities (parents, take note).
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Flyover Airsoft
OptimusPrime
UAVs have been helping soldiers in the battlefield. Giving vital intelligence to the "boots" on the ground, pinpoint targets for air strikes, or do the actual firing of missiles themselves. The newest "scourge" in the warfare, UAVs are pioneering the way air warfare will be conducted in the future.
