NEW KRISS Details from KWA and EVIKE’s Matt

OK, he might be getting himself out of the doghouse with KWA and the rest of us….as EVIKE TV’s host MATT gets some direct answers from KWA uber-tech MIKE on the KWA HK45…but the REAL SCOOP is at the end, when KWA lets some of the details out of the bag on the long-awaited KRISS Vector project:

-

-

SO, SHOT Show again promises to be big for KWA…and a prototype that can be handled, but not fired.  Hmmm…wish the KWA’s would have invested in a shoot-room, a-la CyberG/Palco….you CAN get a spot to do this, but not where KWA’s PRO TRAINING PRODUCTS booth is located…that’s a shame, SHOT Show!!!….Maybe SHOT needs to take some lessons from North Carolina’s own North Atlantic Airsoft Expo!!!!

-

Heres’ the link to Thumpy’s prior KRISS COVERAGE from SHOT Show 2011:

-

AND, the STORY THAT STARTED IT ALL, from July 2010, when the KRISS was announced right here at the 3-D House of Airsoft!  LINK RIGHT HERE

-

And, just for giggles, here’s MATT’s SPOOF VIDEO (yea, NOW they call it a PARODY!) of the iPad enabled KRISS…tons of yucks; hey, why didn’t you ask Mike if he prototype had an iCable attachment, hmmmm??????

Redwolf Airsoft hits the Cybergun Watch in Germany, man!

Here’s an OLD POST that somehow did NOT GET its day in the Sun, our appologies to ARCLIGHT, as he scoped out the  ”even-bigger-than-SHOT Show 2011″ Cyber-Cubicles at the IWA 2011 Show in Germany, and guess what?  They actually didn’t do any interviews with him, either.

OK, well, Cybergun’s “hired gun” and IPSC World Champion Eric Grauffel did…so, sue me.  He talked to me, along with “Mr. Inokatsu” and a bunch of Cybergun and Softair USA (Hi John!) higher-ups in Vegas back in January… they were just really, really camera shy around Thumpy. Wonder why?

Mr. Inokatsu and a "close friend" at CyberGun/Softair USA's Massive Booth

I proved I’m a lovable little fuzzy bunch of BB Slingin’ warmth and personality. Even “they” admitted it.  I just hate that I’m so far behind schedule that I don’t have Cyber-G’s SHOT Show video cut yet…and I have, like, 15 more to send you from the NAA Airsoft Expo…and they WILL GET DONE!

OK, just get crackin’, T-Man!   Thanks again to Arc and  the gang…check out all THEIR videos over HERE at the REDWOLF YouTube Channel, and at the REDWOLF CYBER-STORE!

Shooting SRC’s GAS AK-74U at the North Atlantic Airsoft Expo 2011

Another Day, Another trip to the SHOOTING RANGE at the 2011 North Atlantic Airsoft Expo, and this time its a DOUBLE SHOOT, with On Target Airsoft’s Darin Sewell and Thumpy’s own “Botasky” getting some trigger time with Star Rainbow’s Tiny Taiwan Terror, the SRC AK-74U Gas Blowback Folder:

Check the blowback action, the 60-65-round mag and the chrono readings at roughly 400-FPS, which takes this shoot-gun out of the CQB realm and into a serious contender for some field-ready skirmish action.  And, as with the CO-2 based M-4 (VIDEO HERE on Thumpy’s YouTube Channel) the accuracy was quite impressive for a short-barrel length full-auto GBB.  Again, not real-gun recoil or noise signature, but respectable for what its worth.

Big Thanks to the Sewell Gang at On-Target Airsoft : HERE for letting us test-fire in the NAA Demo Range…

And, for wholesaler information, check the Sewell Gangs OTHER Cyber-Warehouse…HERE

And, just to make this a bit more complete, check out this animation we found of the SRC AK-GBB system operation, over at Grishka’s YouTube Channel !

More video from NAA Expo 2011

Thumpy has MORE VIDEO from the 2011 NAA Expo, as players get HANDS ON with KWA USA’s Electric and Gas Blowback AK’s and M4′s

Cool to look at, as we did at the SHOT Show 2011 in Las Vegas back in January, but WAY BETTER to “Pull a trigger” on these, even if it was just dry-firing!

You get to SEE them in action at the 2011 North Atlantic Airsoft Expo, in High Point, NC. Players handles and dry-fired the Electric and Gas Blowback AK and M4 prototypes on the way from KWA USA!  Crisp blowback, hefty and rugged construction and lots of feedback from more than 7-hundred players will help KWA get these sorted out before they ship’em out later this year.

The CLASSIEST Airsoft Store in the WORLD! Big Boy Toys!

BIG BOY TOYS MOVES INTO A NEW HOME IN GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA!!!

THUMPY’S EXCLUSIVE BEHIND-THE-SCENES PREVIEW!

Our good buddy Jack “Kamikaze” Richmond….North Carolina Airsoft Organization (NCAO) supporter and one of the biggest “names in the game” of Airsoft across the Southeast and the USA…along with partner Tony Baron…(“THE” Baron, in our minds!) made a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT at the North Atlantic Airsoft Expo 2011 in High Point, NC.

“As everyone that attended the NAA Expo over the weekend knows, after 9 years in business, Big Boy Toys Airsoft is now located in a retail store.”

And, immediately following the NAA Expo, Thumpy and the gang trekked to the new Big Boy Toys AIRSOFT Store for an exclusive look at what customers will see when the doors open on March 8th, 2011:

Jack says, “We are in the Battleground Plaza shopping center next to Big Lots. 3720-A Battleground Ave, Greensboro, NC 27410. We also have a new number 336-617-6765. Our selection as grown many fold and will continue to grow as we fill in more inventory.”

And, what an inventory!  All the gun lines you know and love, along with some amazing custom guns, “wrenched” by Kami himself, from a new tech shop right on the premesis…and some guns you’ll only find here.

Add to that a full selection of parts, gear from Condor, Pantac and MORE….and you have a one-stop shop where you can check out anything you desire first-hand before you buy.

And, you’ll do it at one of the best looking, classiest showplaces for Airsoft in the WORLD!

The “BIG BOYS” found THE LOCATION, LOCATION. LOCATION…..just NORTH of the entrance to the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park, on the northern edge of Greensboro…centrally located in the TRIAD Region of North Carolina. That puts Big Boy Toys Airsoft right in the center of the Tarheel State, in the CENTER of the East Coast, and the CENTER of AIRSOFT…and then they “set up shop” inside a smartly remodeled storefront with a rich look and lots of room to grow and expand product lines.

To top it all off, they’ll also be expanding and revamping the BBT ONLINE Store, and due to their great central NC location…and a hub where FedEx is also located…getting you your Airsoft FIX fast and efficiently, no matter where you live, with prices as-competitive as any other retailer.

OH, and with some OTHER surprises still in the works, Jack also intends to REVOLUTIONIZE the way you can tap-into Tech Support to do your own work on mechbox internals, add external parts and build the gun (or GUNS!) of your dreams.

We can’t WAIT to get back up to GBO for some major “head-shed” sessions with Kami, Baron and the gang…and all the PLAYERS who will soon be making Big Boy Toys Airsoft their new AIRSOFT and MILSIM HOME!

Click on the links above, and STAY TUNED to Thumpy’s YouTube Channel for a VIDEO VISIT to the new Big Boy Toys Airsoft Store…and the North Atlantic Airsoft Expo 2011!
