Product Description
Eine Softairwaffe (auch Airsoftwaffe) ist eine spezielle Druckluftwaffe, die als Spielgerät für das sportive, taktische Geländespiel Airsoft dient. Es gibt auch Disziplinen im Sportschießen, die mit Softairwaffen durchgeführt werden. Softairwaffen sind oft unter Lizenzen täuschend echt nachgebaute Replikate von echten Schusswaffen. Softairwaffen verschießen mittels Federdruck, Gas oder einem elektronisch betriebenen Druckluftsystem Plastikkugeln mit 6 mm Durchmesser (seltener auch 8 mm). Es existiert auch ein Spezialkaliber von 5,5 mm, für das keine Farbmunition erhältlich ist. Hersteller aus Fernost bieten eine breite Palette von preislich wie qualitativ billigen Varianten für Kinder bis zu hochwertig verarbeiteten Liebhaberstücken an. Grundsätzlich können mit Softairwaffen keine lebensgefährlichen Verletzungen herbeigeführt werden. ... Read more

Au Japon, après la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la nouvelle constitution réglemente la détention des armes à feu pour la population civile suite au traité de paix imposé par les Américains. La réglementation est tellement stricte qu'il est pour ainsi dire impossible d'avoir une arme à feu chez soi et encore moins une arme de guerre dans un but de collection, y compris les armes neutralisées, qui sont au demeurant les plus chères au monde, la neutralisation coûtant souvent 5 fois le prix de l'arme en elle-même. Or, il y a une forte demande de la part des collectionneurs de posséder des armes fussent-elles en plastique par manque de moyens ou par manque d'armes neutralisées.

Product Description
Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Dodgeball means any game in which players try to hit other players with balls and avoid being hit. There are many such games; see List of dodgeball variations. This article is about a well-known form of team sport with modified rules that is often played in physical education classes and has been featured in a movie, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. In the United States, the game is typically played among children ages 6 - 12 in elementary school; physical education programs have stressed that as a game it develops balance, eye-hand coordination, and reflex skills among young children. However, internationally, the sport is growing, and has emerged as a popular middle school, high school and college sport as well. It is also popular in informal settings and is often played on a playground, in a gym, or in organized recreational leagues. There are many variations of the game, but generally the main objective of each team is to eliminate all members of the opposing team by hitting them with thrown balls, catching a ball thrown by a member of the opposing team, or forcing them to move outside the court boundaries when a ball is thrown at them. A group of players, usually teams of even strength can play. Rules dictate both a minimum number of players needed to start the game and a maximum number of players allowed on the court at any one time. The maximum number of players per side is typically the same as the number starting the game. After a player is eliminated, he may re-enter the match if another player on his team catches an opponent's thrown ball (provided his team does not already have the maximum amount of players on the court). Players must re-enter the game in the order in which they were eliminated. Some leagues allow players that have been eliminated to assist their team by directing thrown balls back to the players on the court, while other leagues confine eliminated players...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ...

Excerpt:Classic Army M15A4 S.P.R. AEG with Aimpoint Comp2 Replica Red dot sight Airsoft guns are firearm replicas, often highly detailed, manufactured for recreational purposes. Airsoft guns propel plastic 6mm and 8mm pellets at muzzle velocities ranging from 30 m/s to 180 m/s (100 to 637 ft/s) by way of compressed gas or a spring-driven piston. Depending on the mechanism driving the pellet, an airsoft gun can be operated manually or cycled by either compressed gas such as Green Gas (propane), or CO2, a spring, or an electric motor. All BBs are ultimately fired from a piston compressing a pocket of air from behind the BB. Safety concerns Legal issues in airsoft Airsoft is safe with proper care. The projectiles expelled from airsoft guns travel at fairly low velocity and are too light to penetrate the skin. Since some heavier projectiles made of copper or other metal can penetrate skin, they are banned at some Airsoft events. Also most states in America require an orange marker on the tip of the muzzle so that it is not mistaken for a real firearm. The weight of the BB is typically 0.12 - 0.30 grams, but heavier, more application specific BBs exist that can weigh 0.43 grams or more. History In 1980s Japan it was illegal to own a firearm, but there was a large interest in them. Because of this interest, manufacturers started to produce realistic looking spring-powered guns. These guns fired several calibers of plastic or rubber BBs, but were eventually standardized into 6 mm and 8 mm sizes. The early spring-powered weapons then morphed into gas-powered ones, using a variety of systems. ... ... Read more

Excerpt: A crossword is a word puzzle that normally takes the form of a square or rectangular grid of white and shaded squares. The goal is to fill the white squares with letters, forming words or phrases, by solving clues which lead to the answers. In languages which are written left-to-right, the answer words and phrases are placed in the grid from left to right and from top to bottom. The shaded squares are used to separate the words or phrases. Squares in which answers begin are usually numbered. The clues are then referred to by these numbers and a direction, for example, "4-Across" or "20-Down". At the end of the clue the total number of letters is sometimes given, depending on the style of puzzle and country of publication. Some crosswords will also indicate the number of words in a given answer, should there be more than one. The horizontal and vertical lines of white cells into which answers are written are commonly called entries or answers. The clues are usually called just that, or sometimes definitions. White cells are sometimes called lights, and the shaded cells are sometimes called darks, blanks, blocks, or just simply black squares or shaded squares. A white cell that is part of two entries (both Across and Down) is called checked, keyed or crossed. A white cell that is part of only one entry is called unchecked, unkeyed or uncrossed. The creating of crosswords is called cruciverbalism among its practitioners, who are...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=69760 ... Read more

Product TOC
Gas powered airsoft handguns have been around for many years. They have gradually evolved from simple fixed slide pistols to advanced blow back guns capable of semi and full auto firing. The way these gas guns work is never simple. In fact, gas guns are way more complicated than their electric counterparts:

* In the world of AEG you have several standards (which were built around the Marui architecture) to follow. In the world of gas guns, however, standard is almost entirely absent. Different manufacturers have different patented designs, that's why guns from Western Arms are never compatible with guns from Marui.
* AEG allows you to manipulate the mechbox in many creative ways, but gas gun doesn't have such flexibility. In fact, as a beginner, your options are severely limited.

There is no fixed equation on gas gun upgrade and maintenance. You will need to build up your expertise on this subject matter bit by bit.

This book teaches you the basics - it tells you what is doable and what should NEVER be done so that all sorts of costly and stupid mistakes can be avoided.
This book also demonstrates the kind of upgrade that is appropriate for IPSC practical shooting. The motto of IPSC is DVC (Diligentia, Vis, Celeritas), which means accuracy, power and speed. You have to hit the target accurately and without delay. While power is relatively limited, speed (how fast you shoot) isn't. Airsoft shooting takes place from rather close ranges, and shooters are racing against the clock. The focus of upgrade is therefore not on power, but on trigger response and recoil action (too much blowback is no good). We will show you a step-by-step upgrade of the Marui Hi-Capa for practical shooting.

Meat and vegetables must be done, I said, but those who can't relish bread as it comes from the baker's, and plain boiled potatoes, can go without, I said. Then she says, of course I must do as my mother tells me, and would I ask you to step up and see her presently."
