Thumpy's 3D House of Airsoft™ @ Scoop.it

Sometimes good things just pop into the ole Inbox-of-Love….and you WILL want to read our friend DALE DYE’s latest essay…which puts a lot of what we are all dealing with into perfect perspective.

People in high places…and those on the “campaign trail” and in the voting booth would do well to heed his very sage advice-and-counsel!  CLICK THE PICS to read his latest ‘essay’ – ON PEACE, over at the GOOD MEN PROJECT.COM!

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!

From Paintball, to the MILITARY, and then to AIRSOFT.  How many guys and gals out there might have that in their resume? But, FLeZ tracks how it all came together for him.  Along with lessons-learned are lessons-shared.  It is what this YT ‘cat does in almost all of his videos…and why we love sharing what guys like FLEZ are doing for the game!

WICKED CATCH by our FoT on Facebook, Jeremy Quinn, for his sharp eyes and ears…Polish “Paramilitary Forces” are using airsoft in this training exercise.  Who says airsoft is not playing a role in training forces around the globe?  And, yea…we know…VICE and all its bias in this…but…

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!

Apparently "MILSIM" is a real thing, and Military representatives and business people from around the globe will be headed to Singapore to "discover MilSim."

You know we're just having a little fun with the expo's title, but it would not surprise us if Airsoft-as-a-training tool will be absent from this event, as Singapore's authorities are notoriously tough against anything related to our 'game' there...

Still, we do see Orange Tips on some of the event's publicity photos, so....Stay Tuned!

Heroes.  But first, they were Airsofters.  Not widely-reported outside of their hometown newspaper, the Sacramento Bee, two of the men who stopped the EU train shooter were first and always All American Boys:....:READ THUMPY's COMMENTARY - CLICK THE PIC!

Man, the real deal ARMY in Brazil controls their sport?  Big Brother Much?  Still, shops and thousands of players are putting up with it, and marching on!  GOOD FOR YOU DUDES!  Dudettes, too…although we don’t see many in this video from GSG9 BRAZIL….wonder why?  Cultural thing?  ASK EM over at their video chan’….

The Fastest-growing airsoft channel on YouTube is NOVRITSCH, a real-deal former (current?) Mil-Snipe from Austria who has a huge fan base and big numbers.  And its is all because of the QUALITY VIDEOS he’s been posting up from urban and woodland events this year.  Not familiar?  WATCH and become a fan, too!
