    California CQB
    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.

    Mike Force Game on May 27
    Dr. King sent this RSVP:  

    Special notice: The Mike Force sponsored game on the 27th at the strawberry field has been moved to Dr King's.  The strawberry's have tooooooo much poison oak and our ladies are not happy.   The field at dr King's has been drying 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.
    Meet at 4pm on 27 May 2001 at 504 Trail Drive, Moss Landing, CA 95039.

    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
    For the mock silencer, see http://www.mfiap.com/airsoft/acce/toc.htm#silencer
    For the laser unit, see http://www.mfiap.com/airsoft/acce/toc.htm#laser

    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
