Cool Gear

Howdy, Airsofters! Just wanted to give you the heads up on a couple of cool pieces of gear up for sale on Evike's site. The first is the Rlux Custom Airsoft mask added today. It was inspired by the Xbox 360 shooter, Brink:

Rlux Custom Mesh Airsoft Mask

Brink for the Xbox 360

It's a very cool design, in the vain of a Jason style hockey mask. My only issue with this is that for now it is only available in the digital green camo motif. And the price. The damned this is $85.00. 

Now this is just something that I stumbled across on Evike while looking at the first mask. HOLY $^@^!*( it's a Master Chief mesh helmet! Now this one goes for $98.00, marked down from $120.00 and is only available in a small size. So, I guess you may be seeing a bunch of midget Chiefs running around the field trying to rifle butt you. Awesome. 

Keep in mind folks, that if you are using any kind of mesh eye protection, you are REQUIRED to be wearing some kind of safety or shooting glasses behind the mesh in order to protect your eyes from bb fragments should a bb shatter against the mesh. The mesh may not stop all the pieces from getting through.

Welcome!

Hello folks, and welcome to the inaugural post for the Spic Ops Airsoft blog! I'm Grim, leader and found of SPIC Ops Airsoft Team and admin of this here airsoft blog. Here we will post reviews of gear, guns, the fields we play at and any airsoft related news we feel the need to share with the airsofting community.

But first, some history! I've been playing airsoft consistently for about two years now, but prior to that it had a few years since a friend of mine invited me out to Tac City in South El Monte for an evening of airsoft. Or for me, it was an evening of running around, rushing to cover and getting shot in the face when I would poke my head over cover like a n00b. However, that cemented my love for the sport and ever since then I have been a supporter and airsoft aficionado.


After seeing airsoft videos from awesome teams like Rainbow Airsoft, Infidel Airsoft, and videos Scoutthedoggie, Evike, and AirsoftGI I decided it was time to step up my game and graduate from swap meet quality AK 47's. Within the last couple of years I've taken the sport more seriously and have been gathering quality gear, guns and refining my play. I've also recently gotten my brother addicted to the sport, so we now play together whenever possible and have formed a loose sort of team which I've dubbed Spic Ops. You'll also be seeing/reading reviews from both of us on this blog from time to time and hopefully some play videos in the near future, once we get a helmet cam.

My brother and I are always looking for some positive, committed players to hang out with, so if you are interested in meeting up one day to sling some plastic, feel free to contact us!
