Back in the day, a friend attended a seminar. The guns used simunition. I asked "why not airsoft?" and he replied "Because if you're shot, you know it and you don't want to get shot."

As some of you know, I'm an airsoft enthusiast, so I was excited to find a local airsoft field, Landscape Airsoft, just down the road from me.

A short while later, when I joined PAFOA, I found… Continue

Here is a list of magazines and publications I have found.

Shows are over an hour long, but are jammed with good interviews, reviews, and technical information. I would give them 4 stars except they often review expensive, high end gear.… Continue

I'm surprised the airsoft community has not embraced radio controlled unmanned aerial vehicles. It's probably due to limitations like money, safety, and terrain.

In order to provide close-in surveillance, you would need a helicopter for it's hover abilities. You could use a fixed wing aircraft but it would be tough keeping eyes on the ground without advanced optics.

Surviellance would be the only practical application since you don't want someone to shoot at your expensive RC helicopter, or ha… Continue
