ASG SIX-SHOOTERS
Action Sport Games (ASG) has
released two new variants of its Dan
Wesson revolvers for airsoft use.
Already a popular airgun range,
ASG’s licensed Dan Wesson
revolvers feature an almost full-metal
construction and a realistic weight.
The new versions are a 6in
barrelled chrome version and a
compact 2.5in barrelled black version,
perfect for concealment and backup.
The revolvers, in true six-shooter
style, come complete with six
individual shells which can be
loaded with single plastic BBs and
then loaded into the gun just like
the real thing. It also comes with a
speedloader.
Powered by 12g CO2 bulbs the
6in version can deliver a stonking
420fps+ from a new bulb. While this
power does mean the revolver is
unlikely to see much use on skirmish
sites it is incredibly good fun, and
looks and feels excellent too.
ASG has stated that the two new
models will be available from October,
though prices are unconfirmed.

RAYS OF SUNSHINE
Airsoft Action recently came into
contact with a sterling charity, Rays of
Sunshine Children’s Charity.
Rays of Sunshine Children’s Charity
grants wishes for seriously ill children
in the UK aged 3-18.
The charity gives brave and
deserving children and young people
the chance to escape the reality of
their illness and experience the magic

of having their wish come true.
Wishes are as unique as children
themselves: whether a child wants to
drive a tank or swim with dolphins,
Rays of Sunshine works hard to make
that wish come true. Recent wishes
have included cooking with a celebrity
chef, owning a spa pool, meeting
JLS, having a celebration of life party
and visiting Disney World in Florida.
The charity granted its first wish in
2004 and will celebrate its 2,000th in
September.
As the whole family lives through
the pain of a child’s illness, the charity
always includes the whole family in
the wish.
The charity receives no government
support, but relies on the generous
support of fundraisers and supporters.

Last month UKAPU attended the
Ground Zero weekender organised
by Zero One Airsoft and had an
excellent time. UKAPU provides a
social area where players can relax
in the evening and join in with our
movie night with a nice cold beer
in hand! Some 60 players signed
up as a result and we would like to
thank you all for your support during
the weekend. A special mention
goes to Team Recon Six (www.
reconsix.co.uk) who signed up the
entire team during the event. Teams
signing up together can benefit from
a reduced price, as it does remove
a lot of the admin work required to
verify new members and send out
membership packs. If your team
would like to sign up then you can
do so by mailing membership@
ukapu.org.uk and asking for more

A big thank you to all those
