“The Man With The Golden Beard”
Sunday, November 25th, 2012AEX Tier One – The Movie
Friday, November 23rd, 2012In August I visited the guys at Airsoft Extreme and they showed me a rough cut of this short they had created from video shot during the filming of a commercial. It is a Hollywood production and aside from the airsoft guns and associated special effects the gear is authentic. Watch it in this light and enjoy.

Recoil May Have Misstepped But Publishers Are Listening – World of Firepower
Thursday, November 8th, 2012I picked up a new quarterly magazine today. “World of Firepower” is a publication from the Editors of Gun World and mimics the look, size and feel of the up and comer “Recoil” magazine. Literally. Take a look at the cover. But, I’d say they won’t make the same mistakes that “Recoil” did. Take for example the editorial by Consulting Editor Paul Hantke. He gives a great synopsis of a lifetime with firearms and over 25 years of writing experience to let us know that there are gun guys behind this one.
It’s a lifestyle magazine that’s more “Maxim” than “Guns and Ammo” and includes loads of cool guy photos of Operators in action as well as a feature by “No Easy Day” author Mark Owen. Overall, “Firepower” seems to be more military centric than “Recoil” was. Throw in some gun reviews, gear porn, knives, and some female eye candy and I’d say it will be popular.
It’s a new format for a rather traditional industry. I’m looking forward to the next issue to see how it fares.

Long Cut AEX Commercial Teaser
Tuesday, September 18th, 2012Awhile back we showed you Airsoft Extreme’s commercial. It is really cool, less commercial and more movie. There’s a great long cut that we’ve seen but they won’t release it until they hit 27 000 likes. Until then, here’s a teaser.

Rob Pincus Speaks Out on “Recoil”
Friday, September 14th, 2012The announcement that Jerry Tsai, former Editor of Recoil Magazine, has stepped down certainly opens the door for them to rebuild their advertising base. But, the question still remains, will the change in leadership bring a strong message to young gun owners that the fundamental reason to own a firearm is personal, home and (in the worst case) National Defense ?
Let’s hope so.
Keep in mind that this week’s conversations, and the many that will be had about Recoil Magazine in the near and (possibly) far future, really revolved not around one man, but around large issues that affect each and every gun owner. The issue is “Why is it okay that we owns firearms?”
At the end of the day, there really should not be any reason that someone claims, short of the intent to harm another human being outside of defensive action, that anyone should consider wrong. There are many types of guns that we, as individuals, may not like. There are many reasons for owning guns that we, as individuals, may not want to list as our own. Fundamentally, I believe that defense is the primary best reason for firearms to exist and to be owned. I firmly believe that a constitutional interpretation of the right to own firearms is based on defense.
The reason I was personally so invested in the discussion this week was not to see one man replaced. It was to ensure that any voice of leadership in this industry at least agrees that our RKBA should not be legally restricted and that there is no absolutely such thing as a reasonable restriction to the rights of responsible, sane and law abiding person to own firearms.
Certainly, we may not always agree on the best choices for defense, the best ways to exercise our rights or even, believe it or not, the best caliber for any given purpose… but, on the issue of Zero Tolerance for Restrictions, we must be united.
I wish Recoil Magazine, and Jerry Tsai, good luck in rebuilding so long as they do so with a stronger sense of the importance of instilling these principles in the young, enthusiastic gun owners that they reaching… and anyone else who is listening.
