Skip the warm, sunny beaches! BAASH/2, BAASH/3, BAASH/12 and I (BAASH/1)
spent a good chunk of this Memorial Day Weekend wielding various power tools to
assemble the various wall sections that will go into finishing the CQB
facilities for our sites in the California Bay Area. These are dedicated
structures with configurable walls designed specifically for CQB. Stay
tuned for photos as well as videos soon after these facilities become fully
operational.

out nicely. This game will roll into a night game to be finished by
10pm. Bring all the extras you need for a long game. The more
players the better.

P90 plus goodies...
The new P90 AEG from TM comes with a sidemounted 20mm rail and threaded muzzle,
both of which make it ridiculously easy to add a TACMIII torch and a Knights Armament Corp.
silencer. Add an over-the-barrel laser to compensate for the relatively
useless integrated red-dot sight. MFI shot
the photos 'cuz his camera equipment far surpasses mine! Stay tuned for my
evaluation of the P90, plus goodies!
For the TACMIII torch, see http://www.mfiap.com/airsoft/acce/tacm3.htm

My P90 TODAY!!!
Finally! My P90
arrived! MFI came through for me and was the first
to deliver! In fact, MFI has them in stock now
and will ship immediately. In addition to the integrated
electronic red-dot sight, the MFI kit includes TWO
flash suppressors -- the original and an orange one, so you can
swap. My officemates and I already put a couple mags of rounds through the
P90... and it is SWEET! More details as soon as I spend some quality time
with the P90 this weekend. In the meantime, take a look at these other
reviews: Review#1
(Sniper); Review#2
(FA-Lance); and Review#3
(Redwolf). If you want one for yourself, go to www.mfiap.com/airsoft/p90.htm
