INTRO

The first annual US AIRSOFT EXPO is set for June 24~26, 2005 at the spacious Ontario Convention Center in Ontario California with complimentary shuttle service from Ontario Airport.

With various State Assemblies gradually passing laws to ban Airsoft and Tactical Gaming, we feel that timing is ripe for the Airsoft and Tactical Gaming Industry to demonstrate that there are responsible companies who would abide by the law and help educate consumers on airsoft and tactical gaming products.

With 28,000 sqft of space, US AIRSOFT EXPO offers a wide variety of leisure and tactical gaming challenges for visitors in addition to exhibitor spaces.

An "IPSC" style challenge featuring a three-room CQB course will test the skills of real operators and amateurs alike.

Shooting tunnel offer Airsoft novelists a chance to experience the products first hand.

Safety seminars will provide consumers a wealth of precautionary measures necessary to keep Tactical Gaming safe and sound.
OP Room will feature entertaining videos from past OP-Lion Claws series.

VIP signing by well-known military personalities.

US AIRSOFT EXPO will be held in conjunction with the well-attended A Weekend of Heroes Action Figure Convention/Military and Law Enforcement Recruitment Displays the Convention Center.

US AIRSOFT EXPO will be both educational and entertaining. Most importantly, US AIRSOFT EXPO will demonstrate the Tactical Gaming Industry's effort to ensure consumer and public safety.

looks like fun. though, I might have chosen a more central location, as it isn't easy for those of us in the east to make it to CA. oh well.

[sp00n]

We need one on the east coast!

[Megalomaniac]

Aye we need an east coast one.

[Scizz]

Agreed, Ohio is a bit far from Cali.

[dirty mao]

Massachusettes is far too far away to make it. i vote next year's is held in boston!

[Longhairedhippy]

Pfft. I was thinking Atlanta.

[Megalomaniac]

I could swing by Atlanta, if it was there. LHH do you live in or near atlanta, I have relatives in I think Marietta, its damn near Atlanta.

[dirty mao]

atlanta's for wussies. boston all the way! i don't see Atlanta having a band named after them.

[Longhairedhippy]

What I do see in atlanta is a baseball team that wins the world series more than twice every 80 years.

back on topic; perhaps someone can attend this and come back with pics, etc.?

[Tripod]

Good one LHH. I'm a sox fan though. Better than likeing the yankees.

LA is 1 1/2 - 3 hours away from me depending on traffic. Usually it's just 2. Maybe I'll make a roadtrip down there. I have a permit finally (been old enough to have a liscense for 2 months..) so maybe I'll drive there! Hmm.

ADD: I also am not a fan of some of the California based airsofters. Alot of them are the "My gun shoots XXXXXXXXXX FPS and I'm bettr than you" then make up some random BS as to why their gun doesn't shoot more than 10 feet. Always something like "Oh yeah the cylindrical sphere seal must be broken again. I need to get a Systema replacment man..." I just hate it

*beep* the east coast, California rules.

Seeing as I'm 10 minutes from the Ontario CC, I'll prolly be there.

[Longhairedhippy]

be sure to take some pictures. that, and show off the SP to the throngs of AEG devotees.

[destrukto]

Screw Atlanta

Screw Boston

And most importantly, screw California

I vote for Michigan!!!

And Ontario is in Canada!!!

I also have a severe dislike for some of the California airsofters on ASP... they make airsoft way too technical... like increasing the fps of your M4 is going to make you so much better than everyone else with the same gear as you...

[Longhairedhippy]

m4 owners are the emo kids of the airsoft world. they love to tell themselves how different they are, when there are really thousands just. like. them.

[Megalomaniac]

Bah we need an eastern AS con like this.

Also there are only three Armalites I'd ever own.
- LR-300
- Carter Special from SG-1
- My beautiful scout rifle idea.=

[Longhairedhippy]

10:00am~5:00pm Open to Pubic

[Catchv22]

You're just jealous we've got the Governator and the Airsoft Expo.

[Megalomaniac]

Nah I hate Arnold and the Airsoft Expo BELONGs in the east.

[dirty mao]
