Airsoft in the News... Catching up Feb 9 - 23

This is PRICELESS! This is why porn and airsoft don't mix...
http://www.dailyemerald.com/vnews/di.../43e6f8013fdab

Even the Texans are interested...
http://news.galvestondailynews.com/s...e8680797f85aee

Damn Chedder heads... DON'T TAKE AIRSOFT GUNS TO SCHOOL (yes Jeff, I meant for this to be all caps...)
http://nbc15.madison.com/news/headlines/2318041.html

This is interesting, not the content, but the fact that an article like this exists. Note: C3 does not endorse one store over another, and the opinions expressed in these articles are not those of C3.

Good British article.
http://telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jht...05/ftsas04.xml

Here's a good takeaway: Check with your local city ordinances BEFORE buying/using airsoft at home... AND it's in Texas!? who knew!?
http://news.galvestondailynews.com/s...b0857c2c95aca9

This proves the idiocy that is the media. To upgrade an airsoft rifle to fire hard enough to break car windows would be VERY impressive, mostly cause I think you'd get MAYBE 5 rounds before the thing ate it self alive...
http://www.heraldextra.com/content/view/165431/4/

Please don't do stuff like this... And if you need to know or ask, "Why?" go place a scratch and sniff sticker at the bottom of the delaware river and tell me what it smells like down there...
http://www.theunion.com/article/20060222/NEWS/102220138

The Philippines are always having games! I love that place!

Just cause you invented this stuff doesn't make you immune to idiocy...
http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/national...21TDY02002.htm

Just by going to college does not ensure intellegence! (open this up, and search for 'airsoft')
http://www.kansan.com/stories/2006/feb/23/freeforall/

Okie doke, remember folks, play smart, and remember that you're all representatives of airsoft, and that any action you make reflects on the entire hobby!

RE: Airsoft in the News... Catching up Feb 9 - 23

I can do that for you...

I think this is the part you want to traslate right?

“Lalagyan lang namin ng chicken wire ang area para hindi makalusot yung mga pellets,” he said.

Transalates to:

"We will put chicken wire around the area so the pellets wont pass through [and hit the spectators]"

Reading that this can lead you to believe one of two things -

1. Yes the BBs we use are THAT BIG, so much so that metal chicken wire - rather than a fine mesh - is used to stop BBs. Because Filipinos are real macho that way. :)

2. Our chickens are that small - 6mm or smaller - we are a frugal people and we dont put anything to waste. So we pop the whole chicken in one go - because Filipinos...are real macho that way. :D

Achems razor - the chicken wire sold back home come with fine mesh to keep rodents from stealing eggs from the chicken coop, we are a practical people too.

Just so you know where this is all happening - It is in a city called Davao, on the southern most landmass, the Mindanao region, of the Philippines archipelago.

Check the lower right portion of the map:

http://www.lonelyplanet.com/mapshell...hilippines.htm

It is a region where prickly Durian fruit is grown (characterized as something that smells like hell but tastes like heaven) and is in close proximity to some of the best tuna fishing grounds in the region.

There you go...expand your mind! If you want to know more, ask your friendly neighborhood Filipino :)
