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!

Free Airsoft Games in Wisconsin

Hey, when is the next airsoft game at ABZ?. This has become a real common question these days with spring knocking on our back door. Well now its simple...Every Sunday in 2008 we will have games at the Airsoft Battle Zone airsoft store and game field located in Fairchild, WI. We are currently about 50% done with building and airsoft store renovations, our AEG rental center is open for business right on the airsoft field, and features a nice selection of $20 a day rental airsoft guns. Both the field and store will be open from 10:00 AM until 5 PM every Sunday with the exception of our travel days to other major airsoft events in Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota. Check our ABZ Airsoft Game Calendar for specific game dates and times. You will have to fill out a waiver which can be done online at airsoftbattlezone.com or at the field, but a parent or guardian must sign with anyone under 18. On the calender you will note that there are Open Free airsoft Games, FATPD airsoft games and larger paid airsoft production events.

Let me Explain:

1st. The open airsoft game days are free. Bring your buddies and play together all day however you want, or join other groups of players for a larger game.

2nd. FATPD airsoft games are free airsoft games with a scripted scenario. These games will follow a certain storyline and usually will have special rules and regulations attached ie: Mid cap magazines only, special airsoft medic rules, cqb house special rules, game props in use and more scenario related guidelines.

3rd. Paid airsoft games are larger scenarios with annual game dates. These games typically play once a year and the entry varies from $20 to $50 depending on the event, how long it lasts (1 or 2 days) These large scenarios typically have MVP giveaways, cash prizes, door prizes or a variety of airsoft gear and gadgets available. These are full fledged airsoft productions sponsored by a plethora of airsoft companies.

4th. Airsoft Rentals are available for $20 dollars a day and include Metal Gearbox AEG of your choice, Full face mask, 1 hi-cap Magazine, battery. Airsoft bb's are available for purchase as well.

In closing let me remind players we are a Wisconsin Airsoft Association affiliated airsoft field and store meaning you must sign up and take the WAA AEC saftey course at a Wisconsin airsoft field to continue to be eligible to play on these fields. We invite everyone to come out and enjoy the sport but if you choose to begin playing regular scheduled games then the Airsoft Education Course will be a requirement. Hope to see many new players join in the airsoft games this year. If you have any questions please visit the ABZ Wisconsin airsoft forum and ask the players as most are more than willing to help out.

C ya on Game day!

Looking for Airsoft Gun Store or Field Insurance

More airsoft Game Fields would equal more legal and safe places for people to use airsoft guns properly.

This has been a long debated and hotly contested issue among airsoft field and store owners. If insurance companies did not charge such outrages rates in the USA then more property owners would have some incentive to host games and events. It can be almost impossible to get one day event insurance for an airsoft game and if you do find an insurance company to write a policy for an airsoft game you can bet it will be pricey. Add to this the fact that so many insurance companies are just there to rip off honest citizens and you begin to see the depth of the problem airsoft fields around the nation face. If you are thinking about holding or hosting airsoft scenario games and need insurance for your event please for the sake of your business or property start your search for airsoft game insurance here:
