From the desks of JAG Precision, reaches us the news about a prototype CO2 pistol from APS Conception.

APS Conception makes a number of bold claims with this gun, namely in the affordable department while maintaining excellent features and finish ( see gallery ). Essentially the pistol looks like a Glock, and I mean: on first glance I would say it's a glock. But when you look further you see a number of distuingishing things, lke the slide being ribbed on the front, the trigger is different, there is a bigger rail, and something I have not seen done in a glock sofar: a CO2 magazine.

The press release also tells us that there's a match grade inner barrel in the gun (meaning hopefully a 6.03mm or better barrel)

All in all, we at NLAIRSOFT.COM think that this could be an interesting gun, eventhough essentially it's a customized Glock on first glance.

G&G announced a nice extention of their productline today, with 2 revolvers, 4 pistols (two with integrated lasers), a whopping 6 AK-style rifles, and 3 M4/M16 style 'pink storm' rifles. 

The pink storm catagory is true to it's name, the guns are completely pink, therefor finding perhaps less use in a skirmish field (unless you like to stand out), but it's probably a great asset for cosplay.

Also, if you register your purchase with them, you can win a VIP trip to Taiwan!

Modify released an announcement concerning an updated version of their 7mm reinforced gearbox product.

The main new added features are:

• a thinner, more durable coating, ensuring a better fit in the body
• more durable coating, lasting longer

they have also changed the color of the gearbox, to black.

Ok guys, may I have your attention to support safe airsofting? 3R-Red Rag Rule works among many airsofters through our planet but to some is completely unknown. Let us make it a world standard for airsoft! Call your hit, put the rag on your head or other visible place. Let other players see that you’re out of the game. This will save painful misunderstandings. Be visible - Play Safe!

Now, Polish airsoft groups have put up the 3R or the Red Rag Rule to help promote it. It would be great if it spreads out faster now. It's a very practical rule to follow and can help "hit" players safe.
