The Kapowwe Saga: What we know to date

Published on April 17, 2011 in Articles, Costumer Sevris, News and Reviews. 0 Comments

When I started seeing some of the commentary in the Kapowwe boneyard review taking a downturn, I wanted to do some research on the subject.  While the its taken me some time to get the article done (I started this article 2 months ago), we got some good info and managed to get Kapowwe to respond.  We also had a reader review their most recent box as an update to our own review.  Have a look at the articles below if you’re following the unfolding Kapowwe Mystery Box drama (But beware, these are large text driven articles, as its hard to take photos of sentiments and inquiry).

Also, if you have anything else you wish to contribute to either of these articles, email me at Brandon@chairsoft-press.com and I will do my best to make these ‘living articles’.

All the best, and expect some new reviews so0n, as I’ve clawed out of the deep dark depths of the accounting busy season, and am ready to write some more crap for you all.

In Defense of Collecting…

I’ve puzzled so many people with my airsoft-collecting habits that I feel compelled to defend the madly-addictive hobby of collecting.

Evike Preorders: Beware!

Published on November 18, 2010 in Articles and Costumer Sevris. 0 Comments

Recently… Oh wait.

10 Months or so Ago, Evike came out with a revolutionary pre-release, that I pre-ordered to review for Chairsoft Press.  Just a week ago, I finally got my money back, with little in the way of explanation from the retailer as to why the gun never showed up.

The short story is: beware pre-ordering from Evike.  You may become part of their banking arrangements as your money sits in limbo.

Gun Tech Rants

Published on June 10, 2010 in Articles. 0 Comments

When I’m repairing guns I’m frequently struck by the sheer idiocy of some of the designs I come across.  I’ve decided to share some of my frustration with you in my rant about why I hate AIM TOP gearboxes.  My only hope is that calling manufacturers out on some of the pointless and infuriating  decisions they’ve made will influence them to make better parts and save me frustration in the future.  However, I don’t think the chances are very good.
