…and if the stars align, the National Airsoft Festival over bank-holiday weekend. More below.

📰 INDUSTRY NEWS
The National Airsoft Festival returns Aug 28–30 — the UK's biggest airsoft weekend descends on the Somerley Estate again via the Ground Zero crew: 2,000+ players, three days of camping, trade village, night games, the lot. One warning if you're on the fence: booking closes August 23rd, so this is the week to commit. And yes — there's a decent chance you'll spot the Badger prowling the trade village.
EOTECH × UNITY Tactical — the two optics-world heavyweights are collaborating on a new HHS (holographic hybrid sight) line. Expect the airsoft clone houses to be taking notes within the quarter.
