Et Tu Christophe? Costa Jumps the MagShark

Irony now lives in the date of the latest post…just below this, we were sharing the excellent news on Travis Haley‘s buzz-jam for our beloved AIRSOFT.  Now word that his former partner in positional-shooting crime, Chris Costa, is also headed in a new direction, sans-Magpul.

-

So, what might this mean for the world of Airsoft?  Our buddy Big Tom at Pyramyd Airsoft’s blog has a few ideas.  Bring your gloves and some hand sanitizer: LINK HERE

-
So, what is OUR take on this news? In all likelihood, Costa-Haley fans are about to get a brand new heapin’ helpin’ of their shooting stylings (Uncle Jed was one of America’s first video positional shooters, ‘ya’here?)…in all probability, starting at the SHOT Show in Las Vegas in January 2012.  And, Magpul will also continue to turn out products, for both real-steel AND Airsoft shooters through their PTS lines…they have ALL proven their innovation time and time again, as well as their support for ALL shooting sports and defensive/offensive minded individuals…we don’t see any of that changing one iota.

Love em.  Hate em.  Don’t expect to see any less of Costa/Haley/Magpul any time soon.

Is THIS the video that “drives home” Airsoft to Real-Steel shooters?

Nothing screams INNOVATION like the coolest trigger-man in the real-steel game today…Travis Haley.  Love him, follow him, watch all the innovative training, techniques, products through his associations with Magpul and his own Haley Strategic Partners….the guys just DRIPS Hoppe’s #7 and “Tacti-cool-ness.”

So, that said…when Travis talks…THOUSANDS of shooters listen.  And THIS VIDEO could be the beginning of the INNOVATION boom for Airsoft/Real-Steel cross-over training in the USA and around the world:

China Is Cloning EVERYTHING….

Is there any hope that Airsoft is going to get cloning under control, when even APPLE gets its cutting-edge stuff poaches, pilfered, picked off and packaged into CLONE STORES?

Here’s the ORIGINAL STORY LINK, kids.

Cyber-G takes on the Masada…Players Miffed

   

WHAT DOES THIS EQUAL?   Good partners, a reset for airsoft, or just a another “missed approach” into the “Death Star?”

Arnie’s Airsoft Masada Topic thread, that got this all started: RIGHT HERE 

Redwolf’s Product Page: HERE IT IS

E-Hobby Asia’a A&K Product Page…for comparison and contrasts…make up your own mind, but the price is sure different!: HERE IT IS 

Magpul’s Corporate Website: RIGHT HERE…With “brand family” listings that show PTS as part of their brand…nothing like the official word from the top!

There must be some HUGE amount of irony within this topic when Magpul’s slogan is “UNFAIR ADVANTAGE”

We’ll be doing some more research and reporting in!

THUMPY’S SHOT SHOW UPDATE #15–Spartan Imports

The place too busy for mere mortals…and we LIKE THAT!

One of the busiest booths at this year’s SHOT Show in Las Vegas was one familiar to almost EVERY Airsofter in the USA…Spartan Imports, the home of Classic Army and a slew of other innovators. Check out what everyone saw at SPARTAN as Thumpy turns the camera on the INNOVATIVE GUNS on the way in 2011 and lets them do the talking. Thumpy’s SHOT Show videos sponsored by Big Boy Toys!

MORE DETAILS:  An awesome STONER you see on the main table was just the beginning of the Spartan “life”…they have TangoDown and KREBBS CUSTOMS licensed rifles on-the-way, along with all the new releases from their familiar lines, such as Classic Army, G&G, KWA USA and many more.  We wanted to explore and discuss the CYBERGUN business arrangement with the top-dogs…and with the video done and the show over, we hope they will entertain some more in-depth questions.  But, understand:  This show is about BIG BUSINESS…and we appreciate that Spartan Staffers too some of our questions…lets us show you what they have…but used their precious time to SELL guns and gear…and we’ll get up with them soon and update!
