Tornado Airsoft Grenades Coming!


You have to see these things in action, here's a video:

Amazingly effective for CQB, and with the short fuse option they can be used to airburst in longer range battles. Built from extremely tough materials they can be thrown over and over again, just fill with green gas (or propane with adaptor) and bb's (180 of them!), pull the pin, toss, and watch as those 180 bb's fly in every direction at up to 140 fps. The design of the grenade results in it bouncing and spinning while launching the bb's to ensure that 360 degree destruction radius.

Watch for these on our website very shortly, we'll add them as soon as we get them!

In the meantime we're adding a ton of TSD Gas Blowback Pistols, check them out:

Grenadiers!

















So we finally got some M203 launchers in, China made, full metal. These perform great, can attach to any RIS rail easily, and is very snug and secure once attached. If you haven't used or seen airsoft grenades used before, you should youtube it. They are very effective, especially through brush or in CQB situations, the intimidation effect alone of the loud POP when they go off is great. I get asked a lot how they work, so here goes: You obtain a 40mm Airsoft Grenade shell or shells, I recommend multiple ones. They come in all sorts of flavors, my favorite are the middle of the road ones, 40 - 80 rounders. All you have to do is fill the grenade with gas, green gas or propane with a propane adaptor, then load the bb's in (don't put bb's in first, sometimes the grenades air seals will pop while filling, and you'll get a face full of bb's if you put them in first), I like to use a cocktail of .12's, .20's, and sometimes .25's. This results in a nice shotgun style blast of bb's when you pull the trigger. A common misconception is that the shell flies out when fired, but this is not so, the shell stays in the M203 launcher, it just throws all 40 - 80 bb's out in one big blast. Range completely depends on the shell, 50 feet is around the max for most. There are some specialty shells out there that are fun, 10 mm rubber ball launchers, nerf foam rocket launchers, etc.

Airsoft Multi Shot Shotguns


Airsoft Shotguns!


Just got these Double Eagle airsoft shotguns in, these are just way too much fun for how cheap they are!



www.frontlineairsoft.com/category/22326697
I've been using a UTG version (made by the same factory) for months now, and if you can get within 50 feet of your target, you've got a huge advantage. At the game pictured above, I was in a bunker and had a squad of 5 or 6 players just 30 feet away, they had good cover, and were all using automatic electric airsoft guns, and I was able to take each and every one of them out by myself!
For $50-60 shipped you can't go wrong.  UPDATE: Amazon, <$50

New Layout

So I did a new layout/site theme today, I'm experimenting with colors and other options. Hopefully it's for the better, I think the prices on our automatic airsoft guns are great, we just needed to emphasize the free shipping, so I added logos for that all over the place. Next step will be to emphasize the $5 discount on every item after the first purchased item...

Barrel and Hop Up Upgrade Packages





Exciting news today, we've got our first complete barrel and hop up packages ready to go, G 36 variants so far:

http://www.frontlineairsoft.com/product/TightKit36c-0


This is one of the easier upgrades you can do with your airsoft gun, and we've made it even easier by including the entire hop up unit, rubber bucking, and tightbore, all put together. All you have to do when you get it is remove the existing barrel and drop this one in. You'll get a bit of an FPS boost, usually around 10 FPS, and a nice accuracy increase.


At the price you can't go wrong with this upgrade, most other upgrades are much more expensive for much less gain, hop up and barrel work will be the most significant addition you can do for your airsoft gun!

Welcome to the Blog, and New Upgrade Packages


So, to give an introduction to the blog here, I'm Matt Gregersen, Owner of Frontline Airsoft http://www.frontlineairsoft.com/ , and this blog will be my space to explore new ideas and highlight exciting new products coming into the airsoft market.


My passion for the last 5 years has been airsoft, I've gone through dozens of guns myself, and sold hundreds through ebay, locally, and through the website. I have a lot of fun researching and trying out airsoft-related products, so for our first post here I'll outline an idea I've had for a while and that's been specifically requested from Airsoft Retreat - upgrade packages.




We recently added a bunch of full tune up kits made by Modify ( http://http//www.frontlineairsoft.com/category/21957581 ), they are fantastic all in one tune up packages for the experienced airsofter. Our next idea though will be to combine a few of our upgrade items into very easy and economical upgrades - such as a tightbore barrel/new hop up unit/new bucking/Fish bone nub kit. These will be very easy for players to throw in their guns, and should be economical. Expect to see some soon, including pics here on the blog within the week, if you have any suggestions or comments make sure to drop us an email:




Thanks!


Matt
