TLSFx, YouTube and Haters
Hey
Not been on for a wee while as work has been really busy and my spare time went into putting up the videos i'd made. So whats new? The TLSFx PYRO that i was sent has all been used, reviewed and, apart from the hand grenades, already up on YouTube. The question being asked on all the pyro videos is; 'Can i get this in the U.S?' Well, TLSFx pyro is available in the U.S but the problem is individual State Laws so its not widespread in the U.S and despite trying, i still cant find out who is retailling the stuff. The only pyro that isn't available, yet, is the 3rd Gen Pyro however TLSFx are working on that. The whole point of my videos was to try and help with that process and get a little more U.S exposure. It's widely available in the U.K though guys.
My latest video on the keithHPOW channel shows a little of scoutthedoggie playing airsoft. Its had a funny effect on some viewers. Scout is a friend of mine and as we both film at POW it was a matter of time before i got a little film of him. Many viewers are delighted to see him but there are a few who seem downright offended that i've filmed him and i've had a few asshole comments because of it. Blocked them all of course but i'm miffed at why they are offended. I've come to the conclusion that its jealousy. One guy said i had no right to film him because his videos are 50x better than mine. I'd agree that scouts videos are infinitely better than mine, he has done this a hell of a lot longer than me and its from scout that i've developed my own passion for YouTube videos. I'm very much a rank amatuer hobbyist with very basic equipment and never claimed to be anything other than that. So as for the Haters, trolls etc...keep hating guys and i'll keep blocking you, its your problem and not mine LOL. I'll keep on playing and filming airsoft ;)

AGM MP40 and TLSFx PYRO
Hey guys
Over the past couple of days i've managed to break through 200,000 video views and 8000 subscribers on YouTube so i'm really quite happy and just to top it off i've got myself a new WWII gun, the AGM MP40. I know, i know, i had one before but i missed it so much i've decided to buy another one and focus my German loadout around that gun. I'll still be wearing my Elite SS gear but i've got rid of the Grenadier pouches and replaced them with MP40 pouches. The grenades will be stored in my bread bag instead and it gives me a much better loadout for running around and clambering through bushes and over obstacles. You can expect a video review of my MP40 in the next couple of weeks along with more action videos and Outtakes.
I am also being sent some fantastic 3rd Generation Pyrotechnics by TLSFx as well as a new reusable grenade which is not yet on the market. Once i've had a chance to look at this stuff i'll be posting up reviews on my main channel so the series on Pyrotechnics will be added to again. Airsoftworld in Scotland stocks the TLSFx German stick grenades so i'll also be reviewing those shortly too.
Players of War will be on again next Sunday, thats Sun 16th May, so i'll be there to film and play however, there wont be any new videos up from that game until midweek as i'm leaving the gameday early and travelling up into the Highlands for a few days to have a relaxing break which realistically means i'll be eating and drinking and enjoying the peace and quiet. It's really just to give my wife a short break before the baby comes and we're hoping we can get a proper foreign holiday sometime next year. The last time we went on holiday was May last year when we visited Turkey with my in-laws whom i have a great relationship with. Just like going on holiday with friends really. Turkey was fantastic, great weather, great people, great food, great local beers and being a history nerd there was tonnes of cool things to see including the ancient city of Ephesus with its massive amphitheatres, public buildings and roads etc. The year before that was our Honeymoon to Mexico where we stayed on the Riviera Maya for two weeks and previous years we went to Spain and Crete. I think next year my wife fancies a Greek or Spanish island which would be great. As well as good weather, food etc i know the Greeks and Spaniards love airsoft!!!
Catch you later guys

The Fort
This coming Sunday, 25th April, sees the reopening of The Fort airsoft site at Cluny Clays in Fife, Scotland. This site is owned and operated by the guys who run Airsoftworld and has achieved great fame with the help of scoutthedoggies videos. The Fort has been closed for over a year now so this will be a chance for me to play and film at a site i've heard so much about and only ever seen the site through scouts videos. I can't wait!!
Last Sunday was a POW weekend with a large turnout despite the very rainy start to the day. I managed to get a bit of filming done but to be honest got so caught up playing that i didn't film nearly as much as i had intended. I was in modern loadout with my L85 and a few extra magazines that were bought for my birthday. Normally i only cary 1 hi-cap for the L85 but with 4 hi-caps in total i was armed to the teeth and able to pour tonnes of beebs into the enemy. Great fun.
On the YouTube front i managed to break through the 7000 subscriber mark and its continuing to grow daily as are the strange questions i get asked. Its funny how people see you as a world authority on something because you've posted a couple of videos. People are constantly asking me to review more guns and gear despite having made it clear i'm not sponsored and can only review what i own personally. Some guys are even sending me up to 20 links for guns that they have seen and expect me to view them all individually and then give them a run down on the pro's and con's of each gun. It baffles me that they can spend all that time writing me emails with numerous links but cant use google!!
crazyNCman has started up a website which is a great idea, http://www.airsoftanswers.com/, and allows airsofters the ability to ask as many questions as they like and get answers/opinions from fellow airsofters. Check it out its a pretty good idea.
On the personal front its now only about 6 weeks until my son will be born. I'm looking forward to it although i'm obviously still a bit nervous as a first time Dad and having to watch my wife go through the ordeal of childbirth. I just hope all goes smoothly on the day! Will it affect my airsoft and filming? I will still be airsofting and filming but there will be times when i'll probably need to give it a miss so my wife gets a break, especially in the early months when the baby will be up through the night for feeding.
Anyway, looking forward to this Sunday at The Fort and getting some film of it up on YT.
CYA later guys!

New P.O.W site
Sunday 4th April 2010 was the official opening of the new site for P.O.W and what a bloody fantastic site it is. Its in the same woods as always but they have relocated and doubled the size of the overall gaming areas. We have lost the areas known as Bocage, Train Station, Church, Village and Fuel Dump but have kept Monte Wood. We now have an area which extends outwards from Monte and current developments include a bunker network and an area known as Jerry Island which is a fortification surrounded by a stream which gives a Moat and Castle type effect, very difficult to attack!!
The site owners have big plans for further development with hopes of a D'Day Beach Head among other ideas. This site will be even more of a world envy than it previously was. Now that the new site has opened i have decided to postpone 'Airsoft Week' until May so that i can capture as much film as possible of the new site. I promise it will be worth the wait guys!!!
And a funny moment from a game on Sunday....
I was on Red team and in my modern gear with my AA L85 which has an upgraded piston assembly. We were in the new bunker complex with Yellow team attacking us and i had a duel with a sniper who thought he could shoot me from a range i couldn't trouble him. He was aiming at me through a scope but couldn't hit me with his Dragunov rifle whilst my AA L85 was putting shots straight into his position and beyond and forcing him to move position and keep his head down. He was so pissed off that my AEG was outranging his sniper rifle that he complained to the site owners that i had a 'Hot' rifle. Ernie the site owner chroneod my L85 which registered 321FPS as an average. The site limit for AEGs is 350FPS and 500FPS for snipers. The sniper didn't feel so smart when Ernie showed him the chrono results LOL. Just goes to show that FPS isn't everything and that an AEG with good internals can put out BBs with fantastic range and accuaracy. My L85 is consistently shooting well in excess of 50 metres and is without doubt a brilliant AEG to skirmish with.

British Summertime
Summer is officially here with the changing of the clocks which makes it lighter for an hour longer at night. Don't ask..its something to do with farmers and harvests and livestock...i think!! All it means to me is that its the start of some better weather, hopefully, and my birthday is this month. Normally for birthdays and christmas i'd get some shiny new airsoft toys but with a baby on the way we are tightening the purse strings so my wife and i will probably head out for a nice meal together and i'll have a wee drink, or two...
This coming weekend is also an airsoft weekend so i'll be at POW again but haven't decided yet between modern or WWII kit. I'll decide on the day. I will have my camera with me so i'll be recording the action as it unfolds with footage for that night on YT and for later in the month for 'Airsoft Week'. When is it you ask!! I'll let you know in good time LOL.
The gaming areas at POW have been greatly expanded so i'll capture some footage of the new game zones for you guys. Its a huge expansion programme which will go on for some time and greatly improve the site overall. Can't wait to see it and play there as i've heard about some of the plans the site owners have.
Any questions guys just drop me a line ;)
