Looking for a hot game? How about one on an old volcano?
Airsoft Hawaii ASH BASH
July 16, 2005
Last year they had over 300 players and the game was featured in ARMS Magazine.
For more information on this years event check out their website!
The organizers also have a new online magazine.
Now, I'm not sure you'll actually get to see anything that actually resembles a volcano DURING the game, but it is in Hawaii so you can always go see one afterwards.

D.E.D. USA stocking detection vests and green BBs
D.E.D. USA stocking detection vests and green BBsDaniel Hazlehurst (D.E.D. USA) has sent over word from them that they are stocking a hit detection vest (Bioval's I think) and Bioval BBs. Here's the latest from the guys there:
I'm Daniel Hazlehurst one of the owners of dedusa.com NJ's Only fullservice airsoft shop. I'm pleased to inform you and your members about the IDS REFEREE®, this revolutionary gaming vest will eliminate the need for human referees in the sport of Airsoft and Paintball.
The T&T IDS REFEREE® will identify the kinetic energy of Airsoft & Paintball ammunition the instant the projectiles impact on one of the sensors located in the vest or helmet. When a sensor is hit, the T&T IDS REFEREE® activates an acoustic and visual alarm (a buzzer and/a LED) for a time period of 90 seconds.
dedusa.com is also proud to be the official US importer of the ONLY 100% Bio AIRSOFT BB's. This is big news in the US since "EXCEL BB's are not biodegradable". Please check out dedusa.com in the "NEWS" section and look at the LAB TESTS" tell your members about the BB's" Lets not mess up the planet with our sport. Daniel Hazlehurst, (D.E.D. USA)

The odd item of interest
Laylax have added a new high pressure piston 'NEO' their their pages today. The new PSS2 piston can be assembled one of three different ways to enable normal use, dampened use, or "fast action". The translation doesn't read too well, although I'm sure that an APS2 guru will understand what it does just from the photos that they've put online.
Marushin have added details to their pages of a new 7.5 inch and 10.5 inch SAA revolver in 8mm format from them. Check out the relevant pages (as linked) for more information and pictures.
NOAH (a Japanese custom house) have added a new replica M7A3 CS grenade to their pages. Manufactured to look like the real thing the replica looks to be completely inert (I was expecting it to be a gas can or a BB holder). Priced at 1,500Yen the new item should be available now although I don't know of any places that ship internationally that stock NOAH gear at the moment.
New over at NodaYa is news that they'll be stocking some new MGC PFC gear towards the May/July. The M4A1 models appear to be reworks of previous MGC models. The M4A1 is listed as being black in colour, whilst the M4A1 carbine is a slightly reworked model that includes a shortened barrel and cut down carry handle. The M4A1 is out in mid July, whilst the cut down carbine is out in mid May. Prices are set at around 37,000 Yen.
Quick useless fact for the day, a rework of the film 'Sahara' is on the way out. It's rather strange as the original Bogart film was remade once before in 1991 already and starred James Belushi. Anyway, back on topic - the grenade and mag pouches in the film were supplied by FSU.

Blackhawk STRIKE news at Depot53
Over at Depot 53 they've added news of Blackhawk S.T.R.I.K.E gear to their pages. To clear up any confusion they don't actually stock the BH STRIKE sets (yet), there's merely some news of the gear on their pages. Here's the latest from their news pages:
Virginia-based, Blackhawk Industries' S.T.R.I.K.E. - Modular Assault System is an extremely flexible array of MOLLE belts, vests, pouches, and other accessories. For those of you who carry a back-up sidearm, but would like something more than a holster, the STRIKE Drop Leg Platform may be just the ticket.
Built around a MOLLE-style drop leg carrier, you can add a dizzying array of holsters and pouches to fit your individual combat style. Pictured here is the Drop Leg Platform, Carbon Fiber Holster with Tactical Pistol Lanyard, CQC Platform, and Double Pistol Mag Pouch. The CQC holster features an adjustable passive retention system that let's you select a little or a lot, a speed cut in front for lightning quick draws, plus a fully covered trigger guard for added safety. When attached with the CQC Strike Platform, the holster can be positioned at any one of three mounting angles for fast access while seated, or as a secondary entry/assault weapon. The Tactical Lanyard ensures your weapon stays with you, eliminating hours of searching the combat zone, or worse. And as you would expect, all STRIKE gear is available in Black, Coyote Tan, or Olive Drab.
Total MSRP for the system pictured here is: 59.95USD Drop Leg Platform, 29.95USD Carbon Fiber Holster, 24.95USD CQC Platform, 24.95USD Double Pistol Mag, giveina total of 139.80USD for the set.
The Blackhawk STRIKE system will definately enhance your efficiency, confidence, and mission completion ability, letting you get the drop on any foe. (Depot 53)
