“GOOD ART HLYWD has put a pricier spin on the classic Little Green Army Men with their Silver Army Men line. All the classic molds are available, but now cast in sterling silver. Available individually, or as a complete set….”
Thumpy Covey's insight:
OMG! SOLID COPY….Solid SILVER Copy! Dang, this is so simple and so elegant, I wonder why no one has done this before? Get over to SILVER ARMY MEN.COM….Click the Fancy 14 K Silver Radio Man right on his little army man handset! Great catch by TACTICAL FANBOY, who is a bit “out of joint” tonight….get better soon, buddy!

Mission Spec Gains Contracts From Covert Agencies By Adding Denim Line - Soldier Systems Daily & MAKO TV
Thumpy Covey's insight:
And, INSTANTLY, Adam Parrie, the DOUCHEBAG AIRSOFER goes ‘legit’ and gets his mug all over the Interwebz. Just. Like. That. Geardo-ism will never be the same….and the MACC/MAKO TV is the center of the universe….

"...Available through International Armored Group and manufactured byTactical Revolution, LLC..."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
And, probably about to be ripped off and reproduced in functional fashion by any one of a number of "clone artists-in-residence" over in Airsoftia....

"The second issue of Viewpoint Tactical magazine is now available.
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Nice...and available thanks to the always tacti-licious SSD!

"In years past, Crye Precision has used SHOT Show to unveil a whole host of new technologies. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, those products don’t always make it mass market that same year. This has not frustrated not only customers but Crye as well. So this year, there won’t be as many new products on public display...."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
ERIC is doing his amazing product-unveil job in Vegas again this year...and if you are into gear, there's one place you should be spending time on the 'Web for the next couple of WEEKS...hell, all YEAR!....and that's SOLDIER SYSTEMS DAILY. "Daily" because...yea, "every 20 minutes" might be kinda creepy-creepery. #ThumpyGuiltyAsChargedYerhonor

"Every once in awhile we get an email that asks a question so universal that it needs to be answered on the site in the form of “Ask SSD.” Since the subject of this “Ask SSD” comes up over and over again in the comments section, we thought we’d address it here as a stand alone article...."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
GREAT article...what did you expect?...from Big E at SSD. While this partly explains the costs/pricing/$$ to $$$$$ you see for some of the high-speed, low-drag gear you might want for a MilSim loadout, it does not compute to those purely-Airsoft related guns or goodies sold right along side them on used-gear forums or pages. Guys, the market for these items may have a set INITIAL price, but once it "leaves the showroom floor" the only price is the one that the market will bear. We agree a lot with ONE GRUNTS OPINION on pricing for used guns....you only PAY what you think the item is worth TO YOU. Keep your hands....and your hard-earned cash...in your pockets until you see the sticker-price you want to pay. There will usually be another item just like it, or that EXACT SAME ITEM back on the market once the novelty and the "need" wear off!

WOWSER! Our buddy ERIC G. from SOLDIER SYSTEMS DAILY is boots-on-the-ground at MILIPOL 2105 in Paris and just minutes ago snapped some more detailed pics of the police/military training Glocks at the Spartan Imports Europe stand….EXCLUSIVE to Thumpy’s as we add some context to the first licensed airsoft product signed off on by Glock!

“Today, Things Change For The Better. This photograph was originally published on 13 August, 2009. Unfortunately, the issue it depicts didn’t get fixed until today, almost six years later. Today finally marks the beginning of the end for the poorly named Universal Camouflage pattern which has afflicted our Army for the past 11 years.…”
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Our buddy ERIC at SSD has been all over the Army’s Camo Debacle like white-on-rice, green-on-grass and cosmoline-on-a-brand new M1….he was THE SOURCE for information on all the twists and turns in the OCP takeover, as he usually is every day with the best real-gear and mil-newz! Congrats to him, but far from the end of the story. Get hooked up with Soldier Systems Daily for your geardo fix every stinkin’ day!

"...As an 18 Bravo(US Army Special Forces Weapon Sergeant), of course I had to possess the skills to effectively employ my personal weapon systems (carbines, pistols and crew served) in combat as well as the ability to maintain and repair them. But that is maybe, 5% of the job.... ...So when I look back at how I ran my kit, I see it was driven by considerations for many tasks, but above everything, my combat set-up was most influenced by my time as an athlete...."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
WOW! Great read with one of the two videos from BCM linked on the Soldier Systems web'log...you guys who want to do it the way the real-deal guys do it NEED to read...no, wait...SHOULD BE REQUIRED to read Gunfighter hits from SSD! No B.S.

"Army Research Labs recently subjected several new fabrics to ballistic testing to see how they might perform in protecting against explosively launched debris for applications in clothing and other gear such as Protective Under Garments. They chose airsoft BBs from BB Bastard as test projectiles because they replicate the size and weight of gravel particles...."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Glad to see Eric and the SSD gang pick up this solid piece on our buddies from Up North, providing testing materials that will help save lives! Read the report on Soldier Systems Daily, and pat the Bastards on the back, over at their FB Fan Page

"JANUARY 21, 2015, LAS VEGAS, NV – ArmorSource, LLC (ArmorSource) will introduce the LJD Aire helmet today at the SHOT Show. The LJD Aire is the lightest ballistic helmet in the defense and law enforcement market. The LJD Aire reduces the weight of traditional helmets by more than 40 percent while exceeding the ballistic protection of the Lightweight Advanced Combat Helmet...."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
We know some of you HELMET PHREAQUES will be all over the ArmorSource booth when the floor opens this morning...and Eric at SSD will likely be right there with you...getting some phots for the feed and socials....follow now, or get left with a headache later!

"I’ve been dying to tell you about the new Dual-Enhanced View Optic and Leupold Carbine Optic from Leupold Optics but I’ve been under a Non Disclosure Agreement until literally two minutes ago. It’s great to see Leupold enter into the Red Dot Optic market...."
Thumpy Covey's insight:

As the late-great PAUL HARVEY used to say….STAND BY FOR NEWS!
Lots and LOTS of airsoft and military-related companies are building stands and booths today, and plenty of AIRSOFT and REAL-MIL MEDIA folks are on hand for the big reveals and of course, the IWA AIRSOFT MEETUP co-hosted by our buddies at NL AIRSOFT.COM and POPULAR AIRSOFT.
