For some time prior to its release, Airsoft Innovations has held people’s attention with news and videos of their upcoming Tornado gas grenade. Now the wait is over, and if you want to know how it fares in tests and in the field, you’re at the right place! (Continued)
A high-power LED (and not much else!) is used in this project to provide a muzzle-flash effect for an electric Airsoft gun. It’s an extremely simple mod that can add a dramatic effect to firing, especially in darkened or indoor areas.
This is an experimental project; it is very simple but like any project found around here or elsewhere, attempt it at your own risk. That being said, it has been working fine for me so far! (Continued)
Here’s a roundup of all the tech bits and resources currently available for the Trigger Master AEG Fire Control Units which are made and sold right here!
A Trigger Master is modded to fire only 30 rounds from a magazine before requiring a mag change to “reload”. With this mod, a couple highcaps can simulate an endless number of 30-round magazines! As an added feature, the gun will not fire unless a mag is inserted, and tactical reloads (reloading before a mag is ‘empty’) are possible. DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY MODIFICATION OF MAGAZINES.
(Continued)
Two things are demonstrated here: using the Trigger Master to reduce RoF (motor speed), and make 2-round bursts (instead of the default 3-round burst).

This is just for fun - I simulated AEG Jamming by installing a switch and modifying the programming in a Trigger Master.
(Continued)
This is some information on installing a Trigger Master into a Tokyo Marui AK-47. (Technically, a version 3 gearbox.)
(Continued)
This is an example of installation into a Tokyo Marui M4. (Technically, a front-wired Version 2 mechbox)
Your installation doesn’t have to be the same as this - this is an example. Feel free to make your own approach and use your own method.

The Trigger Master is not just for giving your AEG 3-round bursts! It does a lot more than that under the hood, and it’s capable of even more. It’s a fully computer controlled electronic fire control system for your AEG which has capabilities miles beyond the dumb switch your gun comes with.
This tutorial will tell you all you need to know to start modifying the programming of these great units to add or tweak your own features!

100% assembled and serviced in Canada. Custom programming for custom features available. We ship internationally!
The Trigger Master is the best way to get effective 3-round burst functionality from your AEG! And it’s capable of much, much more - fully computer controller fire control for your AEG is a reality!

Ever wonder how to tie a shemagh properly? The shemagh is a useful piece of clothing for outdoors use in both hot and cold weather. It finds its way into gear as well, so you might as well learn how to tie it!
This isn’t Airsoft related, except for the fact that a cheap airsoft AK was used as the housing for the AK.
The video pretty much shows/explains it all.
This is a method of running an enjoyable game for two even-numbered teams that allows for dynamic and emergent play, but requires very little (if any) administration or refereeing. I try many different things with our group, and this one is definitely a success.
This simple DIY solution to illuminating tracer BBs works great and uses very few parts, but does require some careful cutting and fitting.
Everything is contained inside a locap magazine - no modifications are made to the gun whatsoever. The magazine can turn the tracer effect on or off at will, so you can fire without revealing your position if you need to.
This is kind of fun. It doesn’t work for EVERYTHING, but it can spice up the right game.
The idea is that the medic is usually a referee or a game admin. They carry a medic bag containing various tape, bandages, and disposable earplugs. Players that are “hit” receive medical attention in the form of a random or semi-random wound, which is simulated in a way that actually causes a handicap to the player’s gameplay. Read on for more details.

I know of only three ways to get yourself a Dragunov in Airsoft: the G&P version, the PDI version, and making one from a conversion kit and an AK-47. Depending on your particular pickiness, your choices may drop to two, or even none. (UPDATE: Actually you can also get the AtoZ Spring SVD.) (Continued)
I repackaged two “super-ear” hearing amplifiers into a pair of hearing protectors to allow for stereo amplified hearing in a form factor usable in the bush.
Unfortunately it both worked better and worse than I hoped.
Made entirely from parts found in the 1$ store, these use a very small toy-grade explosive to make a nice loud BANG!
If you’re interested in new and different ways to structure games, the concepts outlined here are really pretty interesting. It’s really worth a look. (Continued)
These Sonic Grenades have some potential; not only do they emit a loud alarm sound which is hard to miss, but they also blink and “chirp” every minute afterwards so you don’t lose them in the field. No one wants their expensive toy to get lost in the undergrowth after a good throw, after all.
Normally I wouldn’t post up something like this which is entirely non-Airsoft, but it’s cool enough to warrant mention for those of you out who entertain the delusion that there is more to outdoor shooting games than Airsoft. Take a look at MILESTAG - the Do-It-Yourself laser tag system (uses no lasers).
This is a project for an LED Tactical light made from PVC. You can spend a lot of dough on real tac lights, or you can do it yourself for much cheaper.
This is a companion project to the Stealth-Action Motion Sensor. It’s Hollywood-style security systems.
With these, you can make your very own security system that gives intruders a sporting chance! It’s the laser-version of saying “But before I kill you, Mister Bond…”
Have you ever watched a spy film, or played a stealth-action video game (like Metal Gear Solid) where the hero deftly bypasses the high-tech alarm system? Well, this system is just like that - gives the intruder a sporting chance. (And it’s even shootable if you add some parts.)
