Dual Wielding Airsoft Pistols

Justin — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 02:14:33 +0000

One of the most fascinating airsoft strategies I’ve ever come across is the strategy of dual-wielding airsoft pistols. It is an interesting tactic, as it allows you to fire in two places at once or one place with twice the firepower. Of course, pistols are inherently weaker than rifles, and unless you have two strong gas pistols, an inexperienced wielder can easily be overwhelmed. I was just wondering how many readers we have here who do this. I imagine the number is quite small, but I’d like to know. Email me at justin@eastcoastairsoft.com and if I get enough emails I’ll report a tally some time in the next week.

A New Day, A New Month

Today is February 1st, yet another new month in the saga of human history. It is going to prove to be a remarkable month no doubt, and I highly urge you to get as much airsoft in as possible. If you are on the East Coast, you’ve probably felt how amazingly warm the weather has been, despite that we’re in the dead center of winter. It was 70 degrees today! We must take advantage of such fortune, by appreciating it and being outside as much as possible.

Keep Up with Your Airsoft Reading!

A friend of mine has always stressed specifically that it is “important to work the mind as well as the body.” That is why you should consider reading more airsoft articles during your free time. The Internet is packed with useful, rich material about any aspect of airsoft you could imagine, from gun maintenance to strategy to tactical gear advice. The more you read, the more strategically and intelligently you will think, and that will greatly increase your chances of being successful on the field.

ECA AK47 Variants

The noble AK-47 is one of my favorite guns of all time. It is recognized the world over and is remarkably simple with only about a dozen and a half moving parts. It is for this reason that the AK-47 is used in rural and poor regions, in addition to the fact it is remarkably durable. An AK can lay under sand for days or weeks on end, then be picked up and ready for use immediately. Even much more expensive weapons do not have this durability, but the AK-47 really is something special.

AGM VSR 10 Sniper Rifle

Justin — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 04:47:34 +0000

It is rare that truly realistic sniper rifles come through here, but this is definitely one of the good ones. The AGM VSR Sniper Rifle is made with real wood and metal, and can be assembled very quickly using remarkably few parts. Perhaps most importantly, it has been tested for superb accuracy as well as speed. This gun can shoot at over 370FPS, and when it comes to sniping, speed is something that is very important, along with the accuracy. After all, if people can get out of the way before your pellet gets there, what good is your shot?

An Unfortunate Ravens Defeat

Justin — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 00:46:20 +0000

EastCoastAirsoft is based in Maryland, with the owners having a special relationship with Baltimore. It was very unfortunate today to see the Ravens lose, but I respect the effort of the Patriots and all their fans. I’m sure it will be a great Superbowl no matter what, but it really would’ve been nice if the Ravens were in it!

Happy Blackout Day!

Anybody who used the Internet today knows that many sites, including Wikipedia, were “blacked out”. This is in protest of SOPA and PIPA, two bills that are going through the House and Senate, respectively. These bills would effectively limit free speech on the Internet and give unprecedented power to copyright holders to shut down entire websites. In addition, the legislation would likely not even be effective in reducing the distribution of pirated content, and even if it were, it’s not worth it. One of the provisions calls for a DNS filtering system that is technically identical to the one used by China. That’s how bad this is, and thankfully some of the most well known companies in the world have come out in opposition to SOPA.

Marushin M2 Carbine

Justin — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 00:14:01 +0000

The name of this product may sound cool, but what’s even cooler is how amazing the specs are. It can achieve a whopping 315FPS with as large as a .27g BB, and is powered by none other than green gas. Perhaps most importantly, this gun is ultra-realistic, both in its structural appearance and the way it functions, using a very authentic type of bolt operation. Check out all of the details at the complete M2 Carbine page!

HFC Gas Metal Blowback

Justin — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 03:41:11 +0000

You may not know this about me, but I am a huge fan of sleek airsoft pistols. There’s just something about them that is amazing. Plus, gas pistols are some of the strongest and most feared pieces of equipment in all of the game. I remember one time I was playing airsoft against some people with electric airsoft rifles, and I decided to finally draw out the gas pistol I’d borrowed from my friend. One of the enemies immediately screamed, “Oh S&#*, he’s got the pistol!” and started to retreat, but not before I managed to hit him a few times. The other opponent also was on the receiving end of a few shots, and it felt really good to overcome rifles with a single pistol.
