AIRSOFT AIRSOFT AIRSOFT AIRSOFT IRSOFT RSOF O NEWS NEWS NEWS EW BB BASTARDS The BB Bastard range of BBs launched in the UK at the Airsoft Arms Fair. Edgar Brothers, newlyappointed UK distributor for the product, launched the new BBs at its stand while retailer Patrol Base had stock to sell onsite. Endorsed by Stirling Airsoft as its ammunition of choice, BB Bastard BBs are double polished to prevent wear on hop rubber and improve consistency. Brent Lucas of BB Bastard said: “The first thing you should change if you’re trying to improve your gun is your ammunition. That’s the easiest way to improve your accuracy. WINNING ATTITUDE Airsoft Action can reveal that Glen Jackson was the delighted winner of Issue One’s G1098 competition. He is pictured collecting his prize from G1098’s Mark Convery. Glen, from Hythe in Kent, was doubly delighted as he has not been playing airsoft long and had previously bought some kit from G1098 which he really liked. “I only entered the competition because I saw it on the cover and G1098’s fairly local to me – I’ve never won anything before!” Glen said. Glen won £500-worth of G1098 kit 006 December 2011 for correctly answering the question, ‘In British Military terms, what is a G1098?’ The answer, in case you were wondering, is: The Army Form G1098 is a Unit Equipment Table giving the entitlement of stores and equipment, in accordance with general staff policy, for the establishment and prepared by the ‘owning’ arm or service directorate’s staff quartermasters. Congratulations Glen, from all at Airsoft Action, and thanks to Mark at G1098 for putting up such a great prize for our first Issue! “What makes BB Bastards different is the manufacturing process and the polish. We produce ammunition that we’d use ourselves at the highest levels, and we take care at every stage of the process to ensure our BBs are always flawless. ” They are only available in bags of 2,000, though UK-standard 3,000-count bags are in production.
