New Airsoft Models: Primary Weapon Systems

Another set of good-looking toys for the big boys! With a total of four models available; Diablo in black, Diablo in tan, MK110 with compensator, and MK112 with compensator, choose your pick!

All four models feature licensed Primary Weapon Systems (PWS) trademarks, markings, Rail Interface System (RIS), and receivers. They have full metal RIS that allow installation of many attachments like vertical grips, grenade launchers, flashlights, lasers, optics, etc. PWS compensators give the airsoft gun a much more aggressive look and feel.






How I wish I could get a hold on one of these bad ass babies! Any model, any color will do, just that I'm the one shooting and not the one on the crosshairs!  I'll definitely add this on my wishlist!

Basic Airsoft Rules

Like any other sport, there are rules in playing the game.  All players use ONLY Airsoft guns in their games and that are within the FPS (Feet per second) limit.  FPS determines the strength of the gun.  This may vary depending on the club or group you are joining.  Usually this means a limit of 350-450. Beginners are recommended to join a low FPS game.  All participants should wear proper attire (goggles, face mask, etc.).  Any player hit by BBs from an opposing team or teammate (friendly fire) to any part of the body is considered killed and must raise their guns overhead and shout "hit."  Killed members are then to exit the site with guns raised or stay put in the area where you got shot depending on the set guidelines of the game master.  If you are too close (approximately 10 feet) from an opposing player, you are NOT to shoot, instead call out a "knife kill."  The other player is then considered killed.  Any player caught cheating like not calling out a hit (zombie) is immediately kicked from the game.


Follow these simple rules and you're sure to have a fun game.  More specific rules vary from club to club so be sure to check with the group you are planning to join.  Carry on soldier! Hoorah!

Getting Started: Basic Info on Airsoft and War Games

First of all, what is an airsoft hobby about?  It’s all about war games, military tactics, and simulations.  The sport can be played as every man for himself where you take out all players leaving the last man standing the winner or team battles where you take out opposing teams or complete mission objectives.  I’ll deal with game scenarios in more detail in a different post.

Why is it called airsoft?  An airsoft gun is a replica of firearms, sometimes scaled to the real thing, down to the minute details to have a better feel of the game.  Airsoft guns shoot small diameter plastic pellets called BBs.  Guns can be gas powered or battery operated.  There is a wide array of guns to choose from, may it be pistols, sniper rifles, or assault rifles, depending on the role you wish to play.

Is it safe?  Airsoft guns can shoot upwards of 400 feet per second so it sure can hurt!  That is why safety precautions are to be followed when playing the game.  Game marshals are also assigned to watch over the players and run the game.  Wearing the proper gear is also a must, from safety goggles to boots.  This is where the fun part comes in.  Dressing up for the occasion allows you to play the role of your favorite war movie or videogame characters, so you get to have fun and at the same time protect yourself.

Try this hobby!  It’s a nice way to meet people, exercise, and get to play with toys for the big boys!
