“When Lou and Mike Grubb, of Gramps and Grizzly, began demonstrating the advantages of constant air and offering CA conversions they looked into the possibility of a patent on the system. Visiting a patent attorney in Beverly Hills for consulting, the attorney advised them that they couldn’t patent the system, but could receive a trademark on the name of “Constant Air.”…”
Thumpy Covey's insight:
No matter what you “think” you know about the history of airsoft…its roots DO trace back to the early days of paintball…and the INNOVATORS like Gramps and Grizzly hold lessons that a lot of today’s airsoft biz folks could learn from! Listen to this one carefully…and spread the philosophy! GREAT series of interviews done by Bacci Paintball’s ‘chan before Gramps passed…see ’em all and learn more over at their YT Chan…CLICK THE PIC!

"The Paintball Marshals Famous Paintball Museum.
Thumpy Covey's insight:
THIS is one for the history books…but, even better, a traveling exhibit that chronicles the 1980’s and 90’s Paintball “Arms Race”…a similar phenomenon to the one that’s currently sweeping airsoft businesses, fields and players. Paintball Marshal’s Traveling Museum of Oddities is more than a ‘side show spinnoff’ for the ‘ballerz. Captured on video in 2007 by Jay Holsing on his YT chan, it shows the progression of technology, from the tree-marking Nelson “Nel-Spot 007″ and SplatMaster up through the pump and fully-automatic offerings that changed the game, created its on levels of drama, intrigue and controversy…and eventually shaped paintball AND AIRSOFT into the games they are now. Fascinating stuff that Thumpy remembers from the early days of our “other” game, and a cautionary tale that many in airsoft could do well to study and learn from in this age of instant celebrity, expertise and social commentary…learn before you burn, kiddies!

SHOT Show 2016 -Range Day and the start of Airsoft IN the USA
Thumpy Covey's insight:
SHOT Show 2016 gets underway today in Vegas….actually out in the desert at Industry Day at the Range just east of the city, where airsoft/real-steel’s own MUEL will be a range safety officer! Huge back-pat for that one! Thumpy is NOT in Vegas this year, however…we will be pushing out all the headlines and coverage from the airsoft and gun media you guys love, plus taking y’all down memory lane for some huge moments from the SHOT Shows ‘past. And, there’s no better place to start than pretty much at the beginning of Airsoft at SHOT with our own buddy Tim “No Airsoft for Old Men” Ellwood’s story from his blog…way WAY back in 1987, Mr. Peabody!:

It is not real, we do not believe it is real or take it too seriously. Please don’t comment on this clip just to tell us to join the real military instead, you have no idea about any airsoft players military service or background just because they choose to play airsoft. We do this for relaxation and a hobby. Don’t hate on it it until you’ve tried it. Enjoy the video clip. Comments welcome. Lunchbox out……”
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Great views for history lovers, military vehicle/gear/uniform folks and ‘softers/”Sim’mers in the UK every year…and well-covered in this quick ‘look around at the War and Peace Show by LBTV! Nice!

“This page contains scans from my large collection of paintball magazines….”
Thumpy Covey's insight:
IF you guys really want to know where airsoft came from, its hidden in the pages captured here on this very old and musty electronic-magazine pile at OLD PAINTBALL MAGAZINES. The same growing pains, the same “Arms Races”, the camo Gucci scene, the growth of sites, stores and the industry. The story of AIRSOFT is the story of PAINTBALL, and that’s why a site like this is very, very important to watch, scroll and learn from….”Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it….” Ask TIM “No Airsoft for Old Men” Ellwood. He was there…. Silly-Ballerz!

THIS is exciting and goes live RIGHT NOW! Christopher from BALLAHACK AIRSOFT gave us a sneak preview of his very first video-on-demand series that’s been a long time in the making, to get the right people to cover the right subjects in the proper way FOR AIRSOFTERS and MILSIM players to learn from experts!
Who are they? A trio of America’s best and brightest…oh, ok, our best anyway (hehehe) and three guys who’ve been there, done that and ALSO are supporters and players who understand the subtle differences between the “military way” of camouflage…and what AIRSOFTERS NEED TO KNOW! That’s the thing that excites us the most. You are not going to get a history lesson or things that don’t apply practically when you use this information to improve your game. And heck, it’s just plain FUN!
