Quite a lengthy update here from the guys at Flecktarn, with some very exciting new products for their Winter line-up.

Dear Customer,

Flecktarn.co.uk is pleased to present its latest additions to the selection for winter. All new products are available to view at http://www.flecktarn.co.uk/news.html

In this update, we now have the Arktis sniper smock, one of the most advanced jackets for outdoor shooting and combat on the market today in DPM and Flecktarn. Fully featured for maximum storage and re-enforced patches in all the right places, the sniper smock is a hot tip for Christmas as the one camo outdoor jacket to have whether for military, hunting, shooting, outdoor or airsoft and paintball use. Made in England! Price per smock £249.50

Just in, milspec Nomex Flight Gloves in Olive colour. The Nomex knitted material is flame retardant and is highly popular with services which work in or near heat sources or potential heat sources. The palm, fingers and thumb are made of soft leather so as to minimise dexterity loss when worn. A long gauntlet helps to minimise draughts and maximise protection. We are pleased to offer probably the lowest price in the UK for these gloves at only £13.95 per pair.

Armoured knee pads are now in stock in olive green colour. These high quality knee pads are made of dense foam which will shape to the wearer's knee with use. They have a semi-flexible plastic knee cap protector riveted to the front. These are only £11.95 per pair.

Genuine British Osprey water bottles are now back in stock. These are extra strong, and world renowned for their durability. The bottle price includes mug and bottle cap at only £8.95 per bottle.

We have three new military products from Magpul Industries in the USA. These are: the M16/SA80 standard magazine floorplate, the long rail protector and the full length XT rail panel. The grooved floorplate is in use with parts of the US Armed Forces as a low profile grip aid, and has proven very effective. The long rail protector is an essential part of maintaining exposed rails when not in use, and comes in two different colours to help camouflage the gun. The XT rail panel fits over rails to provide a grip surface at the front of the weapon and also helps to protect the rails when not in use. Prices are:
Magpul M16/SA80 Standard Magazine Floorplate - £5.95 each (Olive or Black)
Magpul Long Rail Protector - £11.95 each (Olive or Tan)
Magpul Full Length XT Rail Panel - £11.95 each (Olive or Black)

The best selling DPM dump pouch is now available in Desert DPM. Adapted for use as a drop leg pouch, or as a belt pouch, the dump pouch allows for rapid disposal of spent magazines and is also useful for utilities which need to be readily accessible. Made of genuine milspec condura, the pouch is £25.00

The new Bulle ACUs are now in stock. The colouration has been updated to match the later issue ACUs, and is more vibrant, adding to the efficiency of the camouflage at breaking up the shape of the wearer. The shirts and trousers are available in all sizes from S to XXL and the price is £18.00 per shirt and £18.00 per trouser.

Last, but not least, we have new genuine issue German olive trouser belts. These top quality belts close with a box buckle with the German hook and loop system which looks similar to the American box buckle but is far more efficient at holding together. These belts are low profile and will fit with most standard sized belt loops provided on military trousers. Price only £8.95 each

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and wish you happy browsing.

Yours,
Flecktarn.co.uk Team

Hi all, Dave from Air-Tronics.com here,

The ATC-3B1 and TBK stocks are running out!

We now have less than 25 ATC-3B1 units left, and only 41 TBK (Trigger Bypass Kit) units left.

Whether you are a retailer or a player, you need to get in now to secure your order!

See you soon, over at www.air-tronics.com!

We've written a brief 'Beginners Guide' to Airsoft, you can read it here.

24th November 21:15

Items to look out for very soon on dEFCONAirsoft:

* We review Volume 1 of the Airsoft Guide DVD, kindly donated for evaluation by Airsoft Direct

* We review the Tokyo Marui M14 (my new rifle!)

* Xmas Competition news, it's almost here!  We're just finalising the details...

19th November 21:15

We've had a mailing in from Dave at Air-Tronics.com, those clever chappies who make the 3-round burst modification for AEGs, check out their news and website below.

Hi, Dave from Air-Tronics.com here.

We have released an ATC-3B1 Burst Unit with a slightly different configuration and purpose - the Trigger Bypass Kit (TBK).

Our ATC-3B1 Trigger Bypass Kit (ATC-3B1 T.B.K. or TBK) allows you to replace standard trigger contacts, and negate the wear on trigger contacts in your AEG, as well giving all the benefits of a three round burst unit. It can be used in a preventative manner, or to replace worn or destroyed trigger contacts.

Burst can still be turned off with the flick of a switch so the AEG still fires in FA.

200 of these units will be produced, and shipped at the the same time as the ATC-3B1 standard units. There are now less than 140 of these units available.

Also, the ATC-3B1 stocks are running out!

We have less than 100 units left, and are predicting these to sell out very rapidly. There will be no more units produced unitl mid 2007.

Visit us at www.air-tronics.com get get an order in before we run out.

Dave (Air-Tronics.com)

It seems traffic to our website has been quite heavy, as such our hit-counter has stopped working!  If anyone knows of a free hit-counter that can deal with slightly heavier traffic, please drop us a line.  As of now it has been removed from the website until we find a replacement.

Archived off most of Octobers news into the relevant section at the bottom of this page.

Xmas Competition News

We're currently in talks with fire-support planning an exciting Christmas competition.  This one is going to be slightly bigger than before, with a very exciting prize indeed.  I'm not going to give too many details away just yet, lets just say it will be worth entering!

12th November 20:36

COMPETITION UPDATE...    -    The Competition Is Now Closed!

dEFCONAirsoft teamed with www.fire-support.co.uk to bring you a competition to win a 470 round M16 style magazine speed-loader... All you had to do was locate the mysterious fictional gun that we hid on the product pages of fire-support. 

We had a lot of answers come through, some of them not correct, which included the Top MP40, the KSC HK33 and the Classic Army SLR105... All of these are real AEG's.  We also had a lot of correct answers in, and for those of you who didn't manage to find it, you were looking for this:

Our very own (and completely made up) 'Classical Army MP5-G3 (Armalite Version)'.  The keen eyed amongst you will notice the gun is a combination of a MP5-A4 Navy, an MC51, the sliding stock from a MP5-A5 and the carry handle from an M4. Where was it hidden?  Under the product category of Accessories and then Scope, on page 5.

The lucky winner of the competition was Dan Williams from South London, congratulations Dan.  There should be an email from us in your mailbox!

A big thank you to all who entered, and special thanks go to fire-support for assisting with the competition and donating the prize.

10th November 21:50

A new review has been completed.  The Tokyo Marui Sig P226.  You can check it out here.

2nd November 18:22

A new review for you all to read, the Marui Glock 18C Electric Pistol.  My personal choice of side-arm, and one of my all time favourite Airsoft pistols.  Check it out here.
