As a biker myself all the guys are right in what they are saying! But there is an exception to that rule and that is offroad bike gloves!!;)

These are really comfortable and perfect for airsoft. I used this type for my 1st year and couldn't complain about them.

Only problem is they are a bit bright!!

I use Ferrari red fingerless cycling gloves, but by the time you see my hand the muzzle is likely pointed at your chest:)

Googling for information on airsoft sites here in Austria I stumbled across these guys. At some stage in the future when I have won the lotto (the euro millions one) I will buy a plot of land somewhere and get them to help me with the em, garden sheds.

There are some nice ideas in there for a site owner with loads of land, plentiful funds, and a sympathetic insurer

I love their helicopter simulator.

Would have to agree with you, the amount of grendes you'd have to carry around would make it a wee bit less practical,

bit of a collectors item I would imagine

G&P reinforced valve for the WA GBBr platform, Bit pricey for what it is really, considering you dont need it if you take a little care when loading the magazine.

CROSMAN CORPORATION ANNOUNCES NEW EUROPEAN DISTRIBUTION CENTER IN SHANNON, IRELAND

ROCHESTER, New York, (March 2, 2010) – Crosman Corporation, long known for innovation and quality in the shooting sports, today announced the opening of a new warehouse and distribution facility in Shannon, Ireland. The state-of-the-art facility will serve as the company’s European distribution center (EDC) and warehouse. The company says that its design will streamline the order flow process and ensure product delivery within 7 days to anywhere in Europe, fulfilling Crosman’s global supply chain requirements. The new EDC will be operational in April, 2010.
According to Marc Miller, Crosman’s international sales manager, Crosman’s new EDC will provide trans-continental logistics to the European marketplace with a more expansive and cost-effective product selection. It will also reduce transport costs, improve delivery times and provide efficiency in inventory management. “Having the ability to fulfill orders swiftly and customize products that satisfy EU countries’ regulation requirements provides our customers with solutions to their merchandising needs. It also underscores our commitment to enhancing service to our European customers”, he said. “Rather than simply providing our standard air rifle, the new EDC will inventory product with multiple joules, allowing us to offer a larger assortment of goods to markets with different requirements. We are able to maintain our management strategies and ensure that product is available and flows efficiently into each market.”

Many of the products available to Europeans via the new EDC will be presented at the open-to-the-trade-only 2010 IWA & Outdoor Classics Show being held March 12-15 in Nuremberg, Germany. At the show, a new booth will debut featuring new products such as the Nitro Piston powered Benjamin and Remington break barrel air rifles, and the Benjamin Marauder PCP air rifles. Also being introduced are the new line of PCP pistols and the new Marlin Cowboy lever action BB gun. The new Crosman Corporation exhibit is in Hall 3, Stand 403.

Crosman Europe’s, Martin Stelling comments, “The future looks promising for Crosman in Europe. With the consolidation of distribution channels and the large number of new products being launched this year, Crosman is poised for unprecedented growth and enhanced service for its European customers. I am particularly excited,” he said, “about the creation of the Game Face Airsoft division. The new automatic electric airsoft carbines, as well as the first-ever Verdict Marking BBs, have generated a great deal of excitement in the airsoft world already. In the airgun category, Crosman’s Nitro Piston technology for break barrel air rifles is causing quite a stir.”

That was that Henry Kissinger geezer at IWA last year, wasnt it ? With his super-high quality 2 euro springers.

Masada · 05-03-2010 3:02am

haha, yup, he was a *&^% jockey wasn't he.,

i thought it was odd, them coming here with the cost of doing business but hey. thought id post it anyway,,

With the majority of their gear being firearms, I'd wonder what exactly they'll be bringing in, lets hope he doesnt bring with him a load of negative publicity to boot.,

Or you can pick up Big Dragon high-flow valves for usd$12 from eHobby, which have been available for months.

Masada · 05-03-2010 11:01am

It's not a 'high flow' valve though, it's a reinforced valve that's a bit more resistant to bending if the rifle isn't cocked whin the mag is inserted.,
the original valves are fine if you lube them from new and be careful with them.,:)

Game Face Airsoft.

Their range seems to consist of one Hockler, one Armalite and one Kalash. Slightly underwhelming IMHO.

I figured we'd get to the bottom of who was supplying the Gadget shops.

I need to wash out my eyeballs, anyone have caustic soda?

Yeah, Richie and I got talking to one of their sales manager guys at the IWA last year when we were idly curious about those stupid Blammo Kill Marker BBs.

We got roped into a conversation about their range of airsoft guns, and he was really enthusiastic about their quality and effectiveness. We wer ejust looking at each other and trying not to come right out and say "Dude...they're muck" when he asked what we thought.

It was pretty surreal - genuinely, the crap he showed us was barely market-stall springer quality. Skirmish-grade my ass
