Tokyo Mauri – AA-12 Automatic Electric Airsoft Shotgun
August 10th, 2016
The AA-12 is a fully-automatic combat shotgun that, unfortunately, never really caught on with any conventional forces. However, as is the case with a lot of cool and rare firearms, there’s an airsoft version of the AA-12 readily available, and well-known airsoft manufacturer Tokyo Mauri produced it. The AA-12 features 3 cylinders and 3 barrels, with 10 rounds per second per barrel, for a total firepower of 30 rounds per second. It comes with a 90 round magazine, which it’ll chew through in seconds, but thankfully there’s also a 3000-round drum for sustained fire.

AIR BOLT BY AIR VENTURI Revolutionary Carbon Fiber Bolt Converts .50 Caliber Airgun into Powerful Archery Tool
August 1st, 2016Solon, Ohio (August 1, 2016) – Air Venturi, an exclusive airgun, airsoft and ammunition importer of leading international airgun brands, today introduced the Air Bolt. The new, 430 grain, carbon fiber bolt may be used in any .50 caliber precharged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle with a barrel 22 inches or longer, and effectively transforms the PCP gun into a high-powered bolt slinger.
“The Air Bolt by Air Venturi converts your .50 caliber PCP air rifle into a powerful archery hunting tool intended for large game hunting,” said Air Venturi Director of Business Development, Paul Milkovich. “This ground-breaking innovation represents the ideal marriage of airgunning and archery by delivering an affordable addition to your existing airgun ammunition resources. With the Air Bolt, you don’t have to spend a lot of money on an entirely new archery platform. Simply take the .50 caliber PCP air rifle you already own, and add the ground-breaking Air Bolt to your existing ammunition collection. The Air Bolt comfortably fits any PCP air rifle with at least a 22-inch barrel, and accepts standard broadheads,” he says.
According to Milkovich, “The Air Venturi Wing Shot and the Sam Yang Dragon Claw each launch Air Bolts at velocities up to 500 fps, and generate up to 238 foot pounds of energy. With these kinds of numbers, it’s easy to see how the Air Bolt can transform your .50 caliber airgun into a multi-use hunting tool capable of taking trophy-sized big game.”
“In our testing, the Air Bolt consistently achieved groups of 1 inch at 30 yards,” said Milkovich. “With that kind of accuracy, it’s easy to ‘Robin Hood’ the bolts if a shooter isn’t careful – they’re that accurate.”
The Air Bolt is constructed of 100 percent Hi-Modulus Carbon Fiber with a small outside diameter that produces maximum speed and accuracy. With the 100 grain field tip, the Air Bolt weighs 430 grains in total.

Hults Bruk Introduces American Felling Axe By Dave Canterbury
July 29th, 2016Not really that tactical, but on the other hand, who doesn’t love a good axe?
Åby, Sweden – (Aug. 3, 2016) – Hults Bruk, the world’s oldest active axe manufacturer, is proud to introduce a new felling axe to their acclaimed line of Swedish hand-forged axes. Created by survival and wilderness skills instructor, blacksmith and New York Times bestselling author, Dave Canterbury, the new design is based on professional felling axes made popular during the 19th century American forestry industry boom.
Felling large trees the traditional way is an art requiring skill and a proper axe. Good felling axes are often expensive competition designs, too heavy for practical outdoor use. Understanding the features of a tool, and the tool’s intended purpose, are key elements to consider when creating the perfect woodsman’s axe. Canterbury settled on a purpose built design made for heavy use in an environment of hardwood trees. By meticulously pairing the right style of axe head with the right kind of handle, the American Felling Axe drops dense, large sized trees effectively, allowing the user to work longer without tiring.
Unlike modern curved handles that provide forward momentum and leverage at the expense of control, the Hults Bruk American Felling Axe features a perfectly straight, 32-inch American hickory handle to reduce wrist pivoting on the swing. Canterbury and Hults Bruk blacksmiths poured through several traditional models and uncovered a renowned, reliable Montreal pattern axe head. Useful for more than just felling, the pattern features wide cheeks for splitting and a long, razor sharp bit for felling, bucking and processing wood. Weighing 3 1/2 lbs., the axe head is made with high quality Swedish steel, expertly forged at the historic Hults Bruk factory.
Canterbury, a blacksmith who makes many of his own tools, doesn’t have the facilities to make larger tools like axes and felt Hults Bruk was the company to craft his version of a traditional American felling axe. “Hults Bruk is the oldest axe manufacturer in the world,” remarks Dave Canterbury. “Their quality and passion for excellence makes them the perfect choice for a design that is both a usable axe for any woodsman and also an heirloom-worthy tool that can be passed from generation to generation.”
“Dave understands axe design from both the perspective of an outdoor survival instructor and as a blacksmith,” says Gerard Pegelow, Export Director of Hults Bruk. “We’re proud to partner with Dave and bring his vision to reality.”

Hults Bruk will debut the new axe at the 2016 Outdoor Retailer Summer Market (booth BR317).

CROSMAN CORPORATION RESPONDS TO ATA POSITION STATEMENT ON AIRBOWS
July 25th, 2016
BLOOMFIELD, New York (JULY 25, 2016) Since its introduction in January, Crosman Corporation’s Benjamin® Pioneer Airbow® has captured the attention of rifle hunters seeking a safe and efficient entry into the exciting world of bowhunting, and crossbow owners who are drawn to it for its safe and uncomplicated operation. The Archery Trade Association (ATA) recently issued a negative position statement on the Airbow® that contained misstatements about this revolutionary hunting weapon.
Contrary to what the ATA has stated, Crosman Corporation does pay the required excise tax that goes towards conservation efforts supported by Pittman Robertson funds. Although pneumatic weapons are currently exempt from this tax, the arrows used by the Airbow® are subject to the tax. Additionally, because Crosman wants to support conservation efforts along with firearms manufacturers and other archery companies, Crosman is proactively pursuing the removal of the tax exemption for certain large bore pneumatic weapons, including the Airbow®.
The Airbow® may not meet the ATA’s definition of “pure” archery equipment; however, hunters that currently use archery weapons and firearms continue to petition their state wildlife and legislative leaders to make it a legal alternative to use in their preferred seasons. Consumers are drawn to the Airbow® because its performance compares closely to, if not exceeds, most crossbows. Furthermore, both consumers and state officials that have experienced the capabilities of the Airbow® firsthand recognize it as a safe alternative to crossbows.
Professional hunter Jim Shockey stated it best in explaining his support of the Pioneer Airbow®:
“Despite equipment innovations over the years, we hunters have learned to coexist. I believe we’ve become more accepting of each other, no matter what type of hunting tool we choose. And this is a good thing for the future of our hunting heritage. As hunting equipment manufacturers have innovated, the hunting market has grown, more people have jobs in our industry, and wild places and wild animals are better off. More hunters mean more dollars for wildlife conservation.”
Two hundred years ago an airgun helped lead the expansion of the West as part of the Lewis & Clark Corps of Discovery expedition. Today, Crosman Corporation continues the exploration of new territory with pneumatic power and the Airbow® is leading the way.
