Wisconsin Airsoft Wars and Games


WOW it has been awhile since I stopped to Jot down some notes here, so I figured an update was overdue. During the course of this Wisconsin airsoft season we have seen allot of changes and met many new players and customers. ABZ staff have been busy with the Freefall airsoft game, Wisconsin Airsoft Expo and Codename Thunder airsoft events all within a one month period and I am happy to say it is not over yet!

We still have the well regulated militia airsoft event on August 23rd and 24th at Action Packed Paintball in Waterloo, WI then we head over to Poynette,WI for the Operation Vigilance airsoft game series on September 6th and 7th. Finally we get to return to the Airsoft Battle Zone home field in mid September for Operation Hard Drive A FATPD Production being held on the 14th of Sept.

October 5th brings the new Underworld series By Jedi and also Operation Plague 2 (Lupine Productions) on October 12th to the ABZ Fairchild, WI airsoft field.

As for the Airsoft Battle Zone Field store it to has seen a few changes and improvements but most of our efforts (when we are home) are going into the field. We did manage to get a large tower erected on the hamburger hill fire base which has made taking over the base quite difficult. The trench system in front of the CQB trailer houses has also been expanded upon and the trenches are now wide enough for the Jeep to drive through.
New airsoft gun releases
Airsoft gun suppliers have had a hard time in 2008 keeping stocks of new airsoft guns available so some great new releases are just entering the market this fall.
We are seeing some new full metal aeg's begin floating into airsoft stores. ABZ just got in the new AGM 416/614 series and have been running field trials and testing and I am very impressed with the build ,quality and performance of these new guns...Word Of Caution...These full metal 614's by agm chronographed at 450FPS...Most fields will not allow this without adding sniper class restrictions meaning you will have a minimum engagement distance and can only use semi auto. At distances of 50 feet or closer these guns Hurt bad!

The new JG full metal CQB M4's should be arriving this week...Can't wait to field test these as the early reviews have been very good. Parts for all airsoft guns especially Gas blowback handguns, have been harder and harder to get lately. If you are a airsoft gun wholesale part supplier we would love to hear from you and could bring much business your way. Please Contact Us!


One quick mention of the CodeName: Thunder 5 airsoft game and then I am off to work on more guns. ABZ staff and our sponsored airsoft teams Wolf Recon and CWC Airsoft Specialists made the 9 hour trip from Eau Claire, WI to the Sherwood Forest Paintball Field in Laporte, IN on August 9th and 10th 2008. Once again the US forces were beaten back by the Cartel. This game was by far one of the most bb filled, extreme airsoft events I have ever attended and the US had to fight for every inch of real estate it gained throughout this entire airsoft event. If you are looking to pick one airsoft game to attend in 2009 I would highly suggest saving your bb's up for this one...To date it is my favorite Milsim Airsoft Game!
Hope to "C" Ya on the Battlefield!
