Coming from a difficult development, it is the military version of the AR-15 Armalite rifle completed by 1958. The reliability and accuracy of the first version were insufficient and Armalite sold the patents to the firm's weapon Colt received an order for 8000 to deliver weapons to the forces of the Strategic Air Command in 1960. The research services of the U.S. Army in 1000 bought more in 1962 and distributed for testing to South Vietnamese forces. The experiment was some enthusiastic reports in 1963 that resulted in the order of 85 000 units to equip the Army under the designation XM16E1 and 19,000 additional weapons for the Air Force under the designation M16. The M16 was officially adopted by the U.S. Air Force in 1964 and in 1967 by the Army. Colt received an order for 850,000 units in 1966. The real innovation is that it has made use of a small-caliber ammunition on an idea of the research services of the U.S. Army. Armalite developed a powerful .22 caliber ammunition, or 5.6 mm. Derived from the cartridge hunting .222 Remington and .222 Remington Magnum, .222 Remington, she was appointed Special and .223 Remington or 5.56 x 45 mm Metric designation. The U.S. Army eventually adopted this ammunition, consisting of jacketed lead, as the M193. Until then, the ammunition used to his guns was the 7.62 NATO, a powerful ammunition, both cumbersome and producing a drop too important to allow automatic fire from a comfortable gun. The Soviet bloc was then fitted with the AK-47 weapon less power but ultimately better suited to the real needs of combat. The new ammunition developed for the M16 allowed the soldiers to take over operations cartridges and receive a variety of roles with a range, precision and power as adequate as those of the AK-47. This ammunition quickly became the standard NATO 5.56 mm under the NATO designation from 1980.
The Blog of the team "Venelles Airsoft Killers": A team of airsofters baba-cool but ugly when required to undertake this noble entertainment for 2 years already! = P. Following the end of World War II, Japan with its new constitution, regulates the possession of firearms for the civilian population. The rules are so strict that. is virtually impossible to have a firearm at home, much less a weapon of war for purposes of collection, including weapons neutralized. However, there is a strong demand from collectors to own guns, plastic, for lack of means or lack of deactivated firearms. In the late 1960s appear through the Maruzen firm that pioneered the field, replica weapons cast plastic totally inert, especially for the collection. In the mid-1970s and following the laws of Japan, forcing the impossibility of transforming an object firearm, technicians and engineers begin the transformation. or manufacturing, these replica weapons inert replica weapons capable of firing projectiles, non-hazardous, all using compressed air. The choice is so immediately. on the balls of 6 mm. Because Japanese law the "launchers" can not develop more than 2 joules output barrel. Given. the enthusiasm of some for many of these "replica weapons launchers, which have the same functionality as the real weapons, two teams play opponents are born under the name. In the 1980s, Tokyo Marui, a Japanese company then specialized in low-end model, launches into the sector by producing airsoft replica weapons using. Technology of electric cars remotely. Compressed air is then supplied by a piston pushed by a spring, itself reinforced by a system of gears driven by a motor. power in a "mech". The energy required to propel the ball is then drawn from an electric battery. The ease of use and maintenance of this type of response is. Tokyo Marui began with the manufacture of French FAMAS, and has enjoyed great success. This was followed by rapidly range of M16A1 and M16 VN (Vietnam), then the CAR-15 and XM 177E2 and the. In 1993, Tokyo Marui invented and patented the Hop-up. This system will increase the scope of balls without increasing the power output of the latter. The airsoft is not a discipline dangerous, provided you follow a few basic safety rules. The clubs all have a regulation that here the main points. To ensure the protection of players, approved eye protection is mandatory. There are several types of protections: mask, full mask or goggles, masks. First, players must observe a minimum distance of shooting that increases the power of the replica. Finally, many teams agree to prohibit the firing blindly, the. gusting to short distances, under the head when it is not necessary. The use of ankle boots to protect ankles and strong to protect clothes. The airsoft is usually done on natural lands or urban. The forests and abandoned buildings are privileged playgrounds.For the sake of avoiding or worry. interfere with the population at the practice of this hobby (as it may be frowned upon at first because of uniforms and even the appearance replicas) it is mandatory to choose the land. The goal is to achieve the objectives of a scenario set in the beginning of the game: hostage, bodyguard (bring someone from one point to another without removing it to become a. Ballpoint), Opposition two groups, police operation or taking the flag back to his camp .. To achieve their goals, players have the ability to temporarily remove. members of the opposing team. The player who is hit by a ball must yell "OUT" (offside) and return to a position of life (respawn point) or remain inactive for a period. Players can also take a role: the most common are the doctor's (can "heal" the eliminated players), engineers, or snipers. Given the lack of a sports federation, both in Belgium and France, resulting in the absence of valid rules of play at a national level, each local team player adopts its own. Regulation. It may be noted constants: limiting the power of replicas and use the "OUT" for example. On the other hand, the virtually infinite number of variations. Possible scenarios allows a wide variety of styles of play and can find teams focused on tactics and realistic side (scenario inspired by real armed conflict). If parts are more focused on the role play (scenarios revolving around fictional conflict, sometimes futuristic, or assigning specific roles to some players). Replicas of weapons used by airsoft players are not considered weapons under the 1995 decree. But they are subject to Decree No. 99-240 of 24 March 1999. Well, I think I put the key, I would not give you to read the Wikipedia page on airsoft because it is endless! S = So here, good reading! xD.
