Airsoft is a term used interchangeably to refer to two related components of a popular sport:
- 1:1 (Full scale) replica firearms that shoot lightweight 6mm or 8mm spherical plastic pellets (called BBs) at sufficiently low velocities to make them safe for use in gaming purposes. These replicas are also sometimes referred to as soft air or softair guns to differentiate them from traditional .22 and .177 (4.5mm) caliber pellet-firing air guns, which are not safe for use in gaming purposes.
- A game in which players participate in the simulation of military- or law enforcement-style combat using such replicas.
Airsoft is popular in several Asian regions, such as Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, Singapore, South Korea, and, to a certain extent, the Philippines and Indonesia, where firearms are difficult or impossible to obtain due to local laws. For this reason, the vast majority of airsoft guns, accessories, and aftermarket upgrade parts are made in these countries.
There is also a growing interest in the West, especially in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Spain, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Italy, Belgium (which is also visited by Dutch players, as the game is illegal in the Netherlands), and Denmark, bolstered by an active and expanding Internet scene.

AirsoftRadio for Friday, September 8, 2006This episode is dedicated to Chris Charlton.Airsoft Radio is now being broadcast at 9:00 PM Sundays inChristchurch, New Zealand on 107.4 MOFO-FM (a REAL radiostation). http://www.mofo-fm.co.nz/ http://www.cafepress.com/mofofmWe were going to do an interview with Chris Charlton in theUK about the Airsoft ban, but he passed away due to a heartproblem. More information can be found at: http://www.airsoftcommunity.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=80435We're glad to hear that John is back safe and sound fromthe Big Sandbox. PLEASE NOTE, I said the episode was fromJanuary 24, 2006, it was reall from February 24, 2006.Here is a link to the episode he appeared on: http://media36b.libsyn.com/podcasts/airsoftradio/AirsoftRadio_2006-02-24_copy_1.mp3On the tear drop shape being the most aerodynamic, here is howa rain drop is REALLY shaped (thanks Shade!): http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/raindropshape.htmland here, as promised, is the e-mail I received about the shape with the lowest drag (don't bug Fred, he was niceenough to reply!): Fred Haan Professor of Aerodynamic Engineering Iowa State University Lance, I can only answer briefly. Essentially, the teardrop shape is the lowest drag shape. That is why low speed airfoils have that shape. I do not know much about rain drops. The link you sent looks reasonable as to what their shape is and what the relevant forces are (surface tension versus aerodynamic pressure). The folks over in meteorology would probably be able to comment more on the shape of rain drops. That is just a really quick summary there. I hope that helps. -FredAnd here is a link to the BB energy calculator at Arnies: http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/?filnavn=//articles/fps_limits/fps_calc.htmMusicDeath and TaxesTrustDavid HendersonWired for LoudThe Real DealAnother Place in Time Do me a favor, do the "Lance Drill" and let me know how you like it! :) -Lance

It's been a while since we've put out a show. Sometimes things come up that distract us from the show, but we're back in the saddle again. With all the content we have for tonight it will probably be a multi-hour show (I hate editing them, but you guys love listening to them...)
