From the official press-release:

With locally based stock holding and a service centre, we can assure our existing and new clients will be served in the most efficient and professional manner.

The new EU based HQ for WE will operate as a central distributor-stocking point for the whole of Europe, as well as a general service centre.

WE will be attending the IWA Show in Nuremberg, Germany, IWA runs from March 8 to March 11, 2013. You can find their booth  in Hall 2, stand #619.

Greek Airsoft reports they now have the full line of Fobus Holsters in stock and ready for sale.

Fobus Holsters are renowed for their conceiled carry capabilities, where comfort, fast drawing, and durability are as much a factor as safety.

Ideal for those reenacment scenarios where you need to conceil your sidearm.

Raptors Airsoft announced to us that they are now carrying their own brand of 6.02mm Square Cut Tight Bore Barrels.

These 6.02mm barrels are available in the following lengths:

• 229mm
• 247mm
• 275mm
• 300mm
• 363mm
• 407mm
• 455mm

According to their own press-release to us Raptors Airsoft says they saw a need for an accurate and affordable 6.02 barrel in the airsoft industry. "There are high quality 6.02 barrels are on the market, but they cost twice as much as this one."

Raptors Airsoft thinks they have found the perfect size in 6.02mm, since it still gives much of the benefits of 6.01mm, but takes away much of the high cost and maintenance.
