http://www.oplionclaws.com/I didn’t mention any Massachusetts events in this episode just because of the timing of the podcast release and when the events were taking place. Nothing personal, Mass. – I had to go away for a wedding in Oklahoma so I had some time constraints.
Assessment Review #1 was on TSD SD-87 multi-shot shotgun
Assesment Review #2 was on the KJW M9 GBB Pistol
In Tricks of the Trade – Part 1 we talked about airsoft magazines. Here’s a photo of the mag fix that helped my Jing Gong mags load more effectively with my Classic Army M15A4.

TSD SD-45 UMP mag - strange looking mags, but pretty nice gun.
You've probably heard this as well, but when you are done shooting your AEG, take out your mag, and fire a few rounds on semi-auto. This will put the spring into the "released" position (no tension on it) and again, it will help save the life of your spring. To make sure your gun is truly empty, you might want to turn it upside down and shoot a few rounds off - this can sometimes get out a few lagging BBs.
