Word on the Street, Part 1: An update on airsoft events happening in New England and nation-wide.

Word on the Street, Part 2: Operation Northen Fist

Assessment, Part 1: M4s.

We started off looking at the Echo 1 Stag Arms M4 Commando sent to us from Pyramyd Air. Here's the lovely box in which your AEG will arrive.

Inside the box, you will find all these goodies.

The Echo 1 Stag Arms M4 Commando - a nice, basic M4

Compare the size of the commando version and the standard M4 (commando version on the bottom in the photo).

Our second M4 was the DBOYS M4 with CASV. Here's a look at it in its most basic form.

Check out what Ox did to his to turn it into a DMR.

Then we looked at the KWA M4 - a really nice AEG sent to us by Airsoft Extreme.

Tricks of the Trade, Part 1: What to pack for an airsoft op. If you're interested in getting a copy of this list, feel free to e-mail me at CQBRadio@gmail.com

Tricks of the Trade, Part 2: In this section, we spoke with Booligan of Airsoft Retreat and many other airsoft websites on the net.

Assessment, Part 2: M4s

We got back into M4s by looking at the Jing Gong M4.

Next M4 - the Classic Army M4 Sportline.

Here's a look at the slightly different stock that this AEG has.

I put on a new flash hider and added this flashlight and flashlight holder just to change it up a bit.

Our final M4 was the new Echo 1 Stag Arms full-metal M4. Pyramyd Air supplied this AEG for review.

Retailer Review: In our retailer review, we talked about Shorty USA.

Just In: We talked about some new items that are on the airsoft market, as well as some helpful websites. The first one was Airsoft Forum and there you can find pictures of various airsoft loadouts.

SOCOM Gear has a new Novak 1911.

ICS has put out an L86A2 support gun.

EBAirsoft is selling a big, chunky grenade launcher for $149.

Airsplat is carrying this interesing looking Well sniper rifle.

And Madbull has a new airsoft grenade.

That's all she wrote. Please write a review for us on iTunes.
Enjoy and keep on firin',

- Maine: Operation Nosebleed at Harris Field Farms

Massachusetts: Operation Resident Eval

WORD ON THE STREET, Part 2: Speaking with Derek from G.M.S.O.G., a great airsoft field in Vermont.

ASSESSMENT: Our first AEG reviewed in Assessment was the H&K dual-power MP5 sent to me from Pyramyd Air.

All packed up and ready to get into it.

Here's the included speedloader with the "guide" at the end of it to help make sure the BBs end up in the magazine.

The H&K dual-power MP5 - a nice, entry-level gun for plinking with friends.

The second AEG we looked at was the H&K MP5 - a step above the dual-power MP5 from H&K. Thanks again to Pyramyd Air for this AEG.

No box here - just plastic.

This AEG comes with: the gun, a sling, a sight mount, a reflex sight, instructions, a charger, some fuses, and a 9.6 volt battery.

A solid lower receiver and the H&K trades.

Skirmish ready and not too expensive - the MP5 from H&K.

The last gun we reviewed was the super-compact Well G55 gas blow-back MP5K. Thanks to Airsoft Extreme for sending me this item for review.

Here's what you get in the box (nice closed-cell foam included).

With a great rate of fire, this is a nice gas gun and a great CQB weapon or a back-up for a sniper or DMR.

TRICKS OF THE TRADE: Next, we spoke with Scaar from AATV. He and Shadow do in-depth and pretty funny review of airsoft items.

LOADOUT: Loadout was all about gun bags. The first two are from UTG and Pyramyd Air sent them to me to review.

Take a look at the UTG Dual Gun Bag.

Lots of straps inside to hold your guns in place.

The 2nd bag was the UTG Soft Case

The last 2 bags were the Condor Rifle Bags - one from Airsoft Extreme and one from Airsplat.

A look inside the outer pocket.

Storing my LR300 in the bag.

Here's the bag in black. It also comes in tan.

RETAILER REVIEW: In our Retailer Review, I interviewed Patrick, the chief operating officer from Pyramyd Air. Check out the Pyramyd Air site - http://www.pyramydair.com/

JUST IN: New items to the airsoft world is what we talked about during Just In. Take a look at this strange but interesting JG PDW.

Hope you enjoy it. Check back on the blog for updates.

Deadrag Radio - Their Final Episode

Well, if you are a podcast listener, it's a sad day.

Deadrag Radio, Episode 20 is out and they have announced that it is their final episode. These guys did a great job getting the word out about airsoft - gear reviews, interviews, and much more. They'll be missed. You can e-mail them to say thanks if you'd like: jeff@deadrag.com and micah@deadrag.com

But hey - CQB Radio is here and going strong. Episode 6 out in a few weeks.

Right now, I am working on a review of the Echo 1 X36C, their version of the G36C - it's a solid airsoft option for all kinds of skirmishers.

In other Echo 1 news, they are putting out an M240 - here's a look at the sweet support gun they have in prototype.

Echo 1 is also releasing 2 new AEGs. They've kept them kind of on the down-low, but it looks like we are going to have an RPK and a SCAR-H (Heavy) coming to us from our friends at Echo 1.
