This one is in English…better than Thumpy’s HS French…but exclusively features Monsieur Marsac…too rich!
“Jérôme Marsac, presidente del Cybergun Group, presenta il programma “War Inc.”, un nuovissimo progetto interattivo mirato ad offrire a tutti gli appassionati…”
Big scoop for Airsoft News EU…and we’re glad to SCOOP for all our longtime Cyber-G Watch fans.
Mr. Airsoft Himself!
Wow…listen close, children!
“This is the first video report from this years IWA fair in Nuernberg. Airsoft-News.EU Team had the opportunity to interview Mr. Jerome Marsac, the CEO of Cybergun S.A., probably one of the most misunderstood airsoft related companies on the planet.”
We’ve heard about it for months, we’ve seen SOME of the concept art…now HERE IT IS!
Tom Cole is the BizDevelopment Chief for Cybergun’s STORE AND GAMER’S LOCATION in the USA.
TELL US WHAT YOU THINK..>In the comments tab below, on Thumpy’s Facebook….or on WordPress.com!
“Interview of Tom Cole from B4S (brains for solutions). A new concept of “battle zone” between the real and the virtual. Association of Airsoft and the video …”
Apparently, the Cybergun/Blackwater video game ‘genre’ has not worked out too well….information at the link above, and GOOGLE Translate is your friend, non-Francophones!
Jerome Marsac : “As we indicated at the end of last year, the commercial results of the game Blackwater proved below our expectations.”
One interesting quote from Chris Dolnack…”Besides for suitcasing, illegal activities reported at the show included trademark infringement —”
Uh, Chris, it was an ALLEGATION of trademark infringement that you cracked down on…NOT A FINDING OR CONVICTION….and not allowing the Airsoft media to openly report this AS IT WAS HAPPENING, but waiting until your press release 3 weeks after the fact probably had very little “deterrent” value during SHOT Show.
“Innocent until PROVEN guilty” should go right up there with the 2nd Amendment we’re also upholding at SHOT Show.
Perhaps we could work on this with you prior to next year’s show, and let nearly 25 years of journalism experience shine into the dark corners.
THUMPY’s CYBER-G Watch has breaking news on the continuing legal fight between Cybergun and JAG Precision…
-
A source pushed the following along to us this morning….and predicts that yet ANOTHER gun…JAG’s versions of the M249 SAW, also licensed by FN Herstal to CyberG will be next on the “hit list.”

Dear JAG Precision Dealer,
The lawsuit that had been filed previously against JAG Precision has been
amended to include the Echo1 E-90 (JP-32) JAG Precision is requesting that if
you have any inventory new in the box, purchased from JAG Precision, that you
cease all sales on these items and return them to us. Please let us know the
quantity of items that you will be returning and we will be issuing credit to
your account, once the items are received at our facility.
If and when more information about this case may be disclosed, we will

your sales representative at JAG Precision.
Again we thank you for your cooperation and continuous support.

Here was Peter Ho from Spartan Imports, with the definitive information from the CYBER-G camp on what was behind the SHOT Show Restraining Order…from Vegas just hours after the events there in January:

THIS STORY (LINK HERE) from the 3-D House of Airsoft WORDPRESS channel shows the JAG /ECHO 1 USA booth in the process of being shut down and escorted from the SHOT Show floor…VIDEO COMING SOON:
-
AND, LINK HERE, to the first dealer letter from JAG over takedowns involving the FN SCAR Series licensed guns
The way THUMPY’s 3D is reading the translation, part of CYBER-G’s “SYNERGY” in the U.S. market involves some type of franchise opportunity, to create AIRSOFT FIELDS, or to convert PAINTBALL venues with some of the atmospherics of Cybergun’s lines of video games…i.e., to give players an immersive environment “ripped” directly from the graphics of a player map from WAR, Inc, or the BLACKWATER games….and that would feature guns from the Cyber-G Licensed stable of airsoft arms.
-
I’d like to tell you that I learned this directly from Cybergun at their MASSIVE display again this year at SHOT Show 2012, but lets just paraphrase our TWO encounters with people there as “uncooperative.” I opened correspondence with Cyber-G again this year prior to the show, asking for permission to set up an appointment to interview at SHOT Show, and was assured that if I went by, they would do so.
-
However, reality bites. On Thursday afternoon, just an hour after Cybergun’s successful “shoot down” of the JAG Precision/Echo 1 USA booth in an adjoining show floor area, and just minutes after an on-camera interview of Airsoft Mega-Promoter John “Lion Claws” Lu and “Angel 1″ Ksenia right in front of the CYBER-G Display…
-
-
…I approached several CyberG corporate representatives, who referred me to a man we’ll simply call “The Gatekeeper.” ”The Gatekeeper” took a long look at my name and read “Thumpy’s 3-D House of Airsoft” on the official BROADCAST MEDIA pass from the NSSA; accreditation to allow me to do interviews, before he simply shook his head back and forth “NO” several times…and declined ANY further conversation.
I’ll leave it to your own interpretation as to the reasons WHY they might not want to do an interview with the only journalistic Airsoft media representative who’s regularly covering their corporate operations…
-
Curtains drawn around JAG Precision/Echo1USA Display (background) after CyberG's restraining order "nuke strike" at SHOT Show 2012. NSSA security would not allow interviews or video of the JAG pack-out.
-
But our encounter happened just minutes after Cybergun had dropped a nuke on JAG Precision and Echo1USA’s booth, having the NSSA throw them off the show floor with a Temporary Restraining Order, alleging Trademark Infringement. And, Thumpy BROKE the STORY…then went to the source to find out what went down.
DENIED. Hmmm…?
-
But the following day, FRIDAY, many of the same media members who were granted access at Cybergun last year were invited back to cover on a small portion of the 2012 Cybergun display…and most of that coverage focused on CyberG’s VIDEO GAME wares, not on anything directly related to new or improved products they intent to market this coming year. ONE MAJOR EXCEPTION was the coverage by our friends Mark “Dr. Airsoft” Vaughan and “Rangemaster” Larry you can see below…although ostensibly with PALCO’s, they are part of the Cybergun Family:
Thumpy’s 3D House is also receiving information that ANOTHER SEPARATE ACTION may be underway involving certain retailers, receiving Cease and Desist letters over totally separate merchandise….INFORMATION COMING SOON!
THUMPY’s 3D House of Airsoft received several “tips” from airsoft retailers that JAG Precision had e-mailed a letter to customers regarding the “dramatic” SHOT Show shutdown of their display by CYBERGUN and FN Herstal…the details of that letter are posted on JAG’s corporate homepage…LINK HERE…
And, the text from that letter is also below in a screen-grab from the site on Wednesday night at 11:00 PM Eastern Time:
Peter Ho of Spartan Imports responds exclusively to Thumpy’s Airsoft News about the shutdown of JAG Precision & Echo 1 USA’s display at SHOT Show 2012. Thumpy will have further updates on this breaking news here at the 3-D House of Airsoft and at our new SCOOP.IT Channel…LINK HERE

May is the month when airsoft players look forward to visiting Coventry, though not exactly the city itself, but at the outskirts near Solihull, where airsoft shops have setup their booths at The Grange for the Airsoft Arms Fair, which on the 18th of May 2013, held its seventh event.
American Airsoft Celebrities graced the 3rd Anniversary of SS Airsoft in Georgia, and Mako TV is no exception (We were invited too, but sadly, we can't afford to attend and do the red carpet interviews). Kilroy was there to catch two of the celebs for interviews: The Tominator of Airsoft Obsessed and Pyramyd Airsoft Blog, and Arwin aka MilSim Junkie Bab […]

RICHMOND (KPIX 5) — A nationwide shortage of ammunition has forced several police departments, including Richmond, to find a backup solution for training rounds. Officers said the solution is just as effective as live ammo, not to mention cheaper."Everybody is fighting for what is seems like a shrinking amount of ammunition out there," said Lt. Lou […]
