CAA Relaunch Announced in 2016 - Airsoft, too? - AE Mil-News & AMMOLAND

CAA Relaunch Announced in 2016 - Airsoft, too? - AE Mil-News & AMMOLAND | Thumpy's 3D House of Airsoft™ @ Scoop.it | Scoop.it

From AE- Airsoft-Military News: …”…The new website offers customers a clean, modern visual with easy to find buttons and tabs. The new website also features a new URL in keeping with the move toward simplifying the company name from Command Arms Accessories to CAA. Incorporating the new tag line, the new URL is CAAGEARUP.com…”

Thumpy Covey's insight:

Two Things excite THUMPY most about this announcement at SHOT Show ’16…that CAA was a strong cross-over supporter of airsoft in the USA…and that their new “chief” is Mike Hartman, one of the true global innovators in optics and training based on his record with the Israeli Defense Forces.  Great catch and post by AIRSOFT-MILITARY NEWS BLOG: http://www.airsoft-military-news.com/ and by AMMOLAND…two sources we go-to regularly to stay in-the-know!

The Warrior Blog: WHO IS "THUMPY?"

The Warrior Blog: WHO IS "THUMPY?" | Thumpy's 3D House of Airsoft™ @ Scoop.it | Scoop.it

"This post started out with a simple PM to MR. Al Covey "I realized that I have known you for a couple of years but know hardly anything about you. I was wondering if you would like to write a post for the Blog...."   Thumpy being the seasoned pro he is, quickly provided all the information below! BUT....in the process of getting this post ready, I did have one burning question that remained.... "How did you get the name "Thumpy?""  to which he replied:

  "Three reasons, I love grenade launchers and 4 stroke motorcycles, aka, thumpers...and ThumpMaster came from a gaming nickname from an old hover tanks free play game on line called Wolfram...and the original Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 shooters. Kinda stuck with it now!"
We hope you all enjoy this little glimpse into ..... Who is Thumpy?..."
Thumpy Covey's insight:

The HOOKUP from WARRIOR PADRE!  So glad to see this blog start to grow...its one of my favorites, by a guy who is constantly on all the THUMPY social channels, slapping that like and commenting on what we do, too!  SALUTE!

"...To my surprise, however, you guys are demanding even more. You guys want only the best in the industry, and I’d like to fulfill that desire. That is one of the biggest reasons why things have slowed down with CaliBear Airsoft. I have been in the process in the previous months in pivoting my model. I want to make bigger, more expensive and more powerful guns than ever before. You guys are also very curious about the process involved in..."

Before #CostaGate2015 There Was Japanese Manga Chris Costa - The Firearm Blog | Thumpy's 3D House of Airsoft™ @ Scoop.it | Scoop.it

"Before Chris Costa strutted his stuff in Japan, in the now infamous #costagate2015, Chris Costa was already famous in Japan. Back when he was working with Travis Haley at Magpul Dynamics, a Japanese publication company immortalized Costa and Haley in a small Japanese Manga. For those who are not familiar with the art form, “Manga” …

SHOT Show 2015 - New ESS Influx Goggles - The Firearm Blog

SHOT Show 2015 - New ESS Influx Goggles - The Firearm Blog | Thumpy's 3D House of Airsoft™ @ Scoop.it | Scoop.it

"...The AVS is an innovative system of vents and screens that allows the wearer to choose between sealed and open modes. From ESS:

“As part of the goggle’s patented AVS, the Influx RotoClip silently pivots the position of the lens inside the goggle frame: choose either a dust-free, fully-sealed mode, or a fog-free, open-ventilation mode. With..."

Thumpy Covey's insight:

This might or might NOT have implications for players and field owners/event hosts to ponder.  Is this a "Full Seal" goggle, or not?  Does ESS suggest its use only for real-world troops...as they were the "innovators" of the "cortex-clip" nose/goggle junction cover to prevent BB's from getting inside the goggles...which these new frames do not have.  We'll keep looking for the answers....
