Town Assault II Operation Hammerstrike UK Event
Town Assault II is here and this year it will be held at Copehill Down on the 20/21 May 2006. Copehill Down in England is the British Army's premier FIBUA site and is the largest of its kinds in Europe with its 6 streets, 80+ buildings and nearly 2000 rooms. Unlike last year's hugely successful event, the Coalition force will be first tasked with having to break in to the town through the rebel defence.

TAII will be a non-stop 24-hour adrenalin rush and this year we are increasing the realism by only allowing locaps and midcaps to help enforce the limited ammo rules of the event. So don't hesitate because the 300 places available for this event are not going to last long. Book now to avoid disappointment. www.townassault.com

New Planet Airsoft Review of the TM MP7 PDW
We've just posted up our latest review and its on the newest release from Tokyo Marui, the MP7A1 AEG. Our first impression is that the TM MP7 is truly a unique and innovative release from the airsoft giant. With any gun that is primarily constructed from ABS, you would expect alot of body flex and squeeky noises, but the TM MP7 feels absolutely rock solid in the hand with absolutely no flex at all. The folding grip not only works great but feels very strong and solid no matter how you hold it. Be sure to read our review to find out more about this sexy little machine pistol!

Tokyo Marui MP7A1 Review

New TM MP7 Now Available in Canada
Just wanted to give a shout to all the Canadian airsofters out there to let you guys know that the TM MP7 is already available in Canada from Xtreme Precision and Spec Arms Airsoft. They are the first Canadian airsoft retailers to have the TM MP7 instock, for more information visit their website.

New TM MP7 Now Available at Redwolf Airsoft
Breaking news! The very first batch of the Marui MP-7 has just arrived at the RedWolf warehouse just an hour ago. Package includes the gun, a standard 50 round removable magazine, 7.2V micro battery EX and 110V EX charger. Redwolf Airsoft is accepting orders worldwide and the demand is tremendous so order now to secure yourself one. A brand new class of the small arms, the MP-7 Personal Defence Weapon (PDW) is intended to be a defensive sidearm for second-line troops, vehicle crews and other military personnel. The MP-7 was first announced in 2000, entered into production in 2001 and has been adopted by some German special units according to some sources, in addition to being offered for export sales and for NATO-trials as an another could-be NATO PDW (the only other competitor is the compact yet much bigger FN P-90).

The MP-7 is designed as a compact submachine gun, with the magazine being inserted into pistol grip, and folding forward grip with retractable stock. All these features are ideally replicated in the Tokyo Marui's model and make this a perfect backup weapon, or a primary CQB weapon! Being a high performance submachine gun, the MP-7 real steel is exceptionally lightweight (1.7kg), and Marui's replica (1.4kg) comes pretty close. The gun can be fired single-handedly, or with two hands, either like a pistol or as an SMG when using a front grip. Retractable stock can be extended to give additional stability. With stock and front grip collapsed, the MP-7 can be carried like any big pistol and is super compact - perfect as a full-auto backup weapon that can be holstered like a sidearm.

New Airsoft Surgeon Fire Power AEG Springs
Airsoft Surgeon has just released its own line of performance springs for AEG's. Designed by the famous Hong Kong Airsoft Gunsmith Mr. Clarence Lai himself, these springs are tuned and manufactured to strict requirements for maximum performance. Airsoft Surgeon™ Factory, a name which quite a few Airsoft enthusiasts would recognize, has lately evolved from Airsoft Surgeon, a.k.a. CL Custom. Clarence Lai's products have been prominent in the Airsoft world for being unique in style, excellence in quality and, highly collectable. Unfortunately, the combination of these 3 elements present high price tags for consumers. In order to instigate Clarence's idea of letting more people to appreciate and enjoy his products at lower costs, increase the production volume so as to achieve a better scale of economy is inevitable.

Key Product Differentiators are as follows:
Springs are Pre-compressed at the factory by applying the appropriate amount of heat and compression using specialized machineries. This defined combination of processes vastly minimizes post-installation compression issue. All or any of the scenarios below are the culprits of inconsistent and diminishing FPS.

Progressive Coiling - this unique and pioneering idea of making springs offers two quantifiable benefits. Namely higher rate-of-fire and getting more shots off on a single charge of battery. While these two areas of performance are enhanced without compromising muzzle velocity, Clarence always makes certain that his products are appealing from an appearance standpoint. All springs are nickel-plated which presents another two benefits.

1. Minimized Friction operation - Lubricants tend to stick longer and run smoother to the nickel-plated metal parts than any other raw-finished metal which most OEM and aftermarket spring are manufactured.

2. Rust Proof - in addition to the already smooth operation of the springs, nickel-plated finish elongates the silkiness by assuring a long rust-free operation.

Precision and consumer expectation focus - Each Airsoft Surgeon™ Firepower spring is individually labeled with FPS figure which consumers are to expect with a small margin of error. These FPS figures are results of long term testing at the factory by using a stock Marui M4. This should give the consumers a relative idea of how well their Airsoft firearms would perform when these springs are installed properly.

Staging Quality Assurance (QA) process - Each Airsoft Surgeon™ Firepower spring is manufactured and handled by a total of three parties; Primary manufacturing company, Compression facility and finally Inspection & Packaging. Each product has to pass at least two QA Tests and two Inspections before leaving the door. Excellence in Quality can always be expected from Airsoft Surgeon™ Factory.

New Blackhawk Industries Tactical Products
Night-Ops, the illumination tool division of BlackHawk Products Group, in partnership with Insight Technology Inc., is introducing the Xiphos (pronounced ZI-fohs, with a long “i” and long “o”), a new pistol light. Continuing the Night-Ops tradition of naming products after the military tools that changed history, the Xiphos was a double-edged, single-hand sword used by the ancient Greeks along with a spear or javelin in battle. It is the forefather of the Roman Gladius sword. The straight, double-edged design of the Xiphos pistol light lends it the same overall martial versatility found in the swords used by infantry until the firearm supplanted the sword on the battlefield.

The Xiphos, designed and manufactured by Insight Technology for Night-Ops, is a 6-volt rail-mounted Luxeon® LED pistol light boasting 80 Lumens of blinding white light. The digitally managed circuit optimizes light output for the entire life of the batteries. The Xiphos can be activated and deployed with a single hand or two hands by an ambidextrous toggle or pressure switch. With a run time of over 60 minutes at peak output, the Xiphos continues to produce several hours of “usable” light. The light range is 25 to 30 meters within a -32°C to 45°C operating temperature range. The Xiphos pistol light weighs in at 4 ounces with 2 3-volt 123 Lithium batteries and is constructed predominantly of hard-anodized aerospace-grade aluminum. The measurements are 3.4”L x 1.5” W x 1.4” H.

BlackHawk Products Group has announced a new division; BlackHawk Warrior Wear, apparel and footwear to meet the needs of today’s military and law enforcement personnel. Designed with the latest materials and technologies available, Warrior Wear products are engineered based upon the demands and rigors that foot soldiers or street cops face on a daily basis. The first products available from Warrior Wear start from the ground up with four boot models; the Light Assault Boot, the Tactical Response Boot, the Black Ops Boot, and the Desert Ops Boot.

The Light Assault Boots are water friendly for today’s special operation warrior. Built on Vibram® Trail Run rubber outsoles in TC4 Plus; a sticky rubber compound that prevents slipping on wet surfaces, with a long wearing, PR midsole. The boot upper is made from a combination of double layer lightweight, breathable nylon mesh and quick dry synthetic microfiber high-abrasion materials. Toe and heel outers are reinforced with a special rubberized protection layer providing unsurpassed abrasion and scuff resistance, especially in prone positions. The footbed is made of custom molded Ortholite® which enables air to travel through and around the insole, cooling the wearer’s foot and offering up to 95 to 100% breathability. The waterproof recycled molded insole board has a built-in shank for unsurpassed support. Dri-Lex® lining, the same materials used in today’s top trail running shoes, allow water and moisture to wick away, keeping feet dry and comfortable. Quick close, injection molded lace holders feature a hidden lace perforated pocket for quick closure of the boot with one hand, while ensuring no failure in combat conditions.

The Tactical Response Boot is a heavier duty boot with a Vibram F$S outsole in “Trek” compound for excellent traction and stability in urban environments. Constructed with an Ortholite custom molded footbed, a Durable etc® breathable lining, and a fiberglass shank, the Tactical Response Boot, with its rugged exterior, is designed for SWAT professionals yet comfortable enough for all day wear. The boot upper is comprised of Cordura® and high abrasion leather for durability under the most extreme conditions.

The Desert Ops Boot is built on a Vibram Lite Run rubber outersole in a Trek rubber compound. Ortholite footbeds and Dri-Lex lining provide breathability and quick drying capabilities. Toes and heels are protected against abrasion by an outer rubberized reinforcement. A fully gusseted tongue prevents debris from getting in the boot and an injection molded shank provides exceptional support, especially when under the load of a full pack.

The Black Ops Boot is the weatherproof version of the Desert Ops Boot in black only with a waterproof lining and all the same features of Vibram sole, Ortholite footbeds, gusseted tongue and injection molded shank.

The Light Assault Boots will be available in black and coyote tan. The Tactical Response Boot and Black Ops Boot will be available in black only and the Desert Ops boot available in coyote tan. Sizing will be available on the BlackHawk website, www.blackhawk.com. All boots will be available in March of 2006.
