Details are still limited, but looks to be a copy of the AtoZ/Kingarms SVD released a few years ago.  I had one of those KA/Atoz SVDs, and if A&K has done well, then this will be a great rifle.  Check out the thread at Arnies for more!

Pipers Precision Products – New Minigun

The guys over at P3 (Pipers Precision Products) have come up with a new gas powered minigun.  Whereas their previous minigun was a replica of the M134, this is an all new design with a sci-fi feel to it. This one sports three rotating barrels and a wire mesh hopper.  Sounds like it has excellent performance, but at 19lbs, it won’t be easy to lug around the field.

Definitely interesting to see the new wave of shell ejecting weapons hit the public.  One small niggle I have is with the pictured round however, which looks like a pistol round, not a shotgun shell.  Oh well, nothing can be perfect!

Listener Segment

In the listener segment we answer your email and share Madkows’ Listener Loadout of the show. This week he’s brought us Superhobo’s ACU/PCU look from the ASB forums.

Tech Tip of the Week

Tim brings us the tech tip of the week, and he blinds us with science…or should I say numbers.  He covers the art of paring BB weight with the appropriate FPS for your gun, and I think we leave more confused than when we started.
