image[9]EXCELLENT REVIEW!
Quote from Airsoft Soldier professional review:
"The results: Looking at the difference between RC and airsoft manufacturers’ batteries, the results were favourable to the airsoft batteries in the S3 class. Especially the Socom Gear S3 1500 mAh 15C solid pack exceeded all expectations and achieved the best result in the power test."


"The tests showed that the traditionally shaped Socom Gear batteries proved to be very effective and powerful batteries."


"C-ratings could only be measured for S3 batteries because of equipment restrictions. Socom Gear’s products gave as much as the pack promised, but the RC batteries were a bit short of their objective."

Meet Micha of Cidasoft

­Cidasoft is making raves in the airsoft industry with their Cidasoft grenades which are the safest to handle for airsoft players, though we would not recommend you trying to handhold the grenade inside it while attempting to detonate it with BBs inside as the videos are for demonstration purposes. I have been corresponding for sometime now with Micha, the owner of Cidasoft, and perhaps the only airsoft manufacturer in the Far East who is not Chinese nor Japanese, nor Korean, as he is originally from Holland. Now, let's get to know him more and his company.


This is a Taiwan made product [Cidasoft Grenade] but I was surprised when I found out that you’re European so first of all please tell me how did you end up in Taiwan?


I married a Taiwanese. We met while we were both traveling in India. After having both lived in Taiwan and Europe we decided that we wanted to settle down in Taiwan.





I guess your love for airsoft started on the island. Do you still remember your first encounter?


Yes, it is. Although when I was still in Holland I was a member of a gun club for 6 years. I had a .22 pistol (Pardini Fiocchi SPE) and a .22 rifle (a replica of an AR-15). In Taiwan it is not possible to use or own these types of weapons (fire arms). This is when I found out about airsoft and I joined a local airsoft team. I don’t remember my first game or how it felt to get shot for the first time. But I do remember that I borrowed a team gun the first few times and that soon after I bought my first AEG rifle.





What is your way of airsoft? (you can talk about your team, your loadout, places you guys go, favorite brand, favorite gun, etc..)


In English my team is called, Students Force. Although not all people in this team are students (anymore).





I prefer not to carry too much gear with me because that will hinder me when I play airsoft and it is also too hot in the summer. I always play with my M4 and I also carry a backup pistol, which is a Glock 19. Most of the time I also carry my airsoft hand grenade. Unfortunately I can’t always use the grenade because people who live nearby where we play might call the police because it’s too loud when it goes off.





We usually play in abandoned buildings, factories or old military buildings (bases).





My favorite brand is Tokyo Marui because they make good quality products. My favorite guns are, M4, TAR-21, Dragunov sniper rifle, Mini Vulcan (way too much money and not practical in an airsoft game), and Glock pistols.





Now let’s talk about your invention a bit. What made you come up with the idea of this grenade and what is the CidaSoft Hand Grenade?


The basic idea of how this grenade works is not original. There used to be another grenade which works in principle like the CidaSoft grenade. The difference is in the delivery system of the baking soda, also called the detonator. The grenade works with citric acid, baking soda and some water. This mixture will make CO2 and the pressure will make the bottle explode.


[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5_qC-6EuVc&hl=en_GB&fs=1&]

Where does the brand name “CIDASOFT” came from?

CI comes from citric acid, DA comes from baking soda and SOFT comes from airsoft.





Taiwan makes almost anything so I guess it wasn’t that hard to find a manufacturer. How long did it take to get the first fully functional prototype?


Yes, Taiwan has many small and medium factories. Although it did take some time to choose one of those many factorie, it took me 3 years from the first initial idea to a product that was ready for sale.





There are several different hand grenades available for today’s airsofter but none of them(as far as I know (There used to be the AG-01, but I believe that it is not available anymore) works like yours. Please explain what the advantage of your product is.


First of all, it is affordable. It gives off a nice bang. You might not feel it hit you but you certainly will hear it. The spoon or handle doesn’t fly off and it doesn’t weigh much.





The detonator is basically a plunger and it starts a chemical reaction by releasing baking soda into the main compartment (bottle). How reliable is this detonator? How quick will the bottle explode? What happens if the grenade lands upside down?


If the detonator is prepared properly then it is quite reliable. There is always a chance that the grenade won’t go off. The grenade is 98% or more reliable if it is prepared properly.





Sometimes it can go wrong:



  • When the plunger rubber doesn’t have a good seal. Always bend this rubber before putting the orange tube in place and blow into it to see if it is airtight.

  • The washer ring (the rubber ring between the detonator and the bottle) is missing. This way pressure can’t build up in the bottle.

  • The bottle has been screwed on too loosely. The pressure will escape from the bottle.


Use 12gram of citric acid + 20ml water if the temperature is 25 degrees Celsius or more, 18gram + 25ml water if the temperature is between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius and 24gram + 30ml water if the temperature is between 15 to 20 degrees Celsius. Don’t use the grenade if the temperature is lower than 15 degrees Celsius. In this case you would need more citric acid and water and you would only get an 80% chance that the grenade will go off.





And always read the user guide. All the above is explained there.





By the time the grenade lands the spring operated valve has already pushed out the baking soda and the pressure is already getting higher.


[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gijVEqG5AE&hl=en_GB&fs=1&]

How far I can possibly throw one of these? What’s the weight of the loaded unit?





My friend threw the grenade ones more than 15 meters in an above hands move. This way of throwing is not recommended though. The grenade may go off by the impact if the ground surface is hard, like concrete. Throwing it under hand or rolling it would be better. I have also once thrown it over a door because the other team was on the other side. The grenade worked fine and it took out one member of that team. The grenade weighs about 100gram when it is ready for use. This does not include bbs.





You’ve uploaded some videos on YouTube demonstrating how safe this grenade is and let me tell you I am pretty impressed. Did your product ever cause any injuries? In that video you are holding the grenade on your open palm while demonstrating its safety but what happens if someone wraps his/her finger over the bottle while it goes off? I’m just trying to figure out how foolproof your idea is.


The grenade has never caused any injuries but you’ll need to be a little careful when you remove the bottle neck from the detonator and when you use the bottle neck remover tool because it is sharp.


[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ifnk-zziVPA&hl=en_GB&fs=1&]


­Well, you are right. I wouldn’t like to demonstrate the grenade while holding the grenade very tight without a tactical glove. Please take into consideration that this is something that explodes. Would you hold on to a fire cracker? I would run away from it and I would do the same when someone would throw this grenade at me. I never had a team member trying to throw back on of these grenades, most of the time they just try to run away. Even if the grenade fails to explode or isn’t near someone when it explodes it is a great way to scare the other team.





My advice is to always wear face/eye protection and tactical gloves when using these grenades.





I already figured it out that keeping the mixture balanced is important if I want effectiveness. What’s the maximum amount of BBs you can launch out of the bottle? What happens if I put more baking soda in the bottle? What happens if I load 0.40g BB in the bottle?


I would say not more than 100 bbs. The green lid, which separates the baking soda from the citric acid water mix, might not open if it is obstructed with bbs.





More baking soda in the orange tube will give a shorter “fuse” time.





I never tested it with 0.40gram bbs. I guess that they will not fly so for because they are heavier.





If the bottle lands in the middle of a medium-sized room (let’s say there is no furniture in there) what’s the chance of not getting hit by any of the BBs? If this grenade goes off near a person will it leave any stain or mark on gear/clothing?


I have had pieces of plastic from the grenade fly more than 10 meters away. The issue is not of getting hit by a bb or not. The issue is that most likely won’t feel it if a bb hits you. The speed of the bbs is to slow and most airsofters wear tactical clothes. The use of this grenade would be better if you use the rule that you’re out [or call your hit] when it goes off within 3 meters near you.





Yes, there is a chance that you might get some stains on you gear or clothes. If so, then those stains consist of a citric acid, baking soda and water mix. These are usually small drops which can be cleaned easily. Usually my clothes and gear get dirtier from just playing airsoft.





Did you ever try to figure out the initial speed of the BBs leaving the bottle?


No, I never did.





How many times can I re-use the detonator?


I have 1 detonator which I have used for about 100 times. But that is no guaranty that each detonator will last that long. If the grenade would be thrown too hard and it would hit a wall in a wrong way the detonator can get damaged. The good thing is that damaged parts can be replaced.





Is it possible to use any other bottle with your detonator? You know that’s the first thing people will try.


No, unless you can find a bottle which is very similar. Most likely the detonator will get damaged because the bottle is too thick. It took a lot of time testing to find the right thickness of this bottle.





How can people access your product? Do you have a retailer in the US or Europe? (website, payment method, shipping times, shipping method, etc..)


At present there are no retailers yet outside Taiwan. So people can buy the grenade directly from my website, www.cidasoftairsoft.com Payment is via PayPal only. I ship only via Taiwan Post to keep the shipping costs low. Shipping by DHL etc will make the sipping cost up to 3 to 4 times higher. Shipping should take about 2 weeks and all shipments are registered and insured.





Are you planning to release other airsoft goodies or do we have to be patient for a while?


Yes, I am but you’ll need to be patient for some time.

On April 30th, 1980 six armed Iranian men stormed the Iranian Embassy in London taking twenty-six people hostage.  Six days later the SAS ended the siege, killing five terrorists and capturing one.  It was the operation that propelled the SAS into the public eye and firmly established them as the worlds’ best counter-terrorist unit.

MDS Video Upload: WE AWSS KAC PDW Gas Blowback

Jason is back!!! Well, at least the version of Jason of Friday the 13th of Massive Defense Shop. Rather than scare, he demonstrates and shows some of the featutes of the Wei-Tech AWSS Knights Armament Company Personal Defense Weapon Airsoft Gas Blowback rifle. Shown in high-definition, which is surely a better way of watching videos online, it's a short, but nicely done product presentation.

VFC E Series Baby M4

A good CQB tool made by VFC which is now available for US$230 at RedWolf Airsoft... "At barely 16 inches long, the baby M4 is an incredibly compact little tyke and yet incorporates the entire working set that is an M4 albeit one with a very short barrel (about 5 inches). Built around the E-series M4, this weapon performs like an AEG but wields like a large pistol; stronger users will find it weight very manageable as a heavy pistol in one hand (Arclight attests to this).


Slap in a short VN hicap mag and you have a conceal carry SBR, alternatively it makes a nice compact secondary for a bolt action or an interesting dual-primary carry to compliment a machine gunners MG with something to switch to in tight quarters.





The short rail system incorporates the full four sides of rail allowing a host of accessory options far more then a normal pistol and its full length upper rail comes bundled with flip-up front and rear iron sights. The weapon itself is a good solid all-metal construction with all the right materials in the right places; most critically for such a build, the metal body is great quality and rock solid stable. The battery storage solution offered comes in the form of the included dummy PEQ battery box, the receiver end cap adds a nice rounded finish and the included trigger guard is of the ergonomic variety; all in all, quite the spicy little firecracker.


Many veteran Airsofters have planned such modguns for years and many actually go through and build them despite the pain of planning, building and not too shabby fortune of expense but now you can simply, easily and economically buy one good to go right out of the box!"

New AEGs from King Arms at Wolf Armouries

Marushin Sig Sauer P210

Latest airsoft pistol available at Airsoft GI... "The Marushin Sig Sauer P210 Blowback Pistol Airsoft Gun is an exceptional replica of a classic pistol. Originally put into service in the 1940's, the P210 was mostly used by the Swiss military, and is currently used among competition shooters. This Marushin airsoft gun functions and looks exactly like the real gun.


The long frame guides the slide forward and back without allowing for unnecessary lateral movement. The slide release button is big and easy to reach, as is the safety. The magazine release is beneath the pistol grip, a feature not common on modern pistols, but it speaks to the accuracy of the build. The P210 is the predecessor to the P220 and features a single action trigger with a 12 round single stack magazine. This gun is a fantastic tribute to the current collectors item, and a great airsoft pistol.



Specifications:



  • Manufacturer: Marushin

  • Muzzle Velocity: 280-300FPS

  • Magazine Capacity: 12 rounds

  • Package Includes: gun, magazine, pistol case, manual"

Battle of the Battle Rifle Grips: Grauer IGRS

When Ward and I attended the ITI tactical shooting course a few weeks ago, instructor Brandon Wright, taught us a new way to grip the rifle with our support hand by canting our wrists and throwing the thumb over the barrel. Grauer-IGRS That’s great when you’re using a forward grip like the Magpul Angled Fore Grip, but as we reported in March, some people like to use (and teach) the “horizontal hold” using the magazine well with grip support. EMA Tactical developed a couple solutions to this technique, and we just ran across another innovative look at how to better stabilize your battle rifle using the magwell for a grip.

The Grauer Integrated Grip Rail System takes the EMA product a step further by basically taking over the magwell entirely. The beefy grip is designed to:

“make it easier to maneuver and control the weapon when holding with just the non-shooting hand … [and] also further enhances the traditional ‘horizontal hold’ by providing a more ergonomic way to apply rearward pressure for better weapon control.

So, whether shooting while standing, prone, over a barrier or around a doorway, whether maneuvering through tight spaces or on patrol, the IGRS is the ultimate weapon enhancement platform for the warfighter.

The other thing the new IGRS has it a so-called “flared magazine funnel” which aids in quicker reloads. The grip also has “internal wire routing” that allows the operator to integrate light and laser optic switches directly into the grip.

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb3ljOQa4AA&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1]

It’s a big piece of gear (Grauer recommends a trained dealer install it for you) and at $499, it’s also pretty Gucci on price. But with the battle over battle rifle grips taking shape, solutions like this are surely going to vy for the vert grip supremacy.
