Action Army C1 Pro Bolt Action Gas/CO2 6mm
If you're an airsoft sniper with an aggressive playstyle, the innovative Action Army C1 Pro is the perfect airsoft sniper rifle for you. Designed for players who want to snipe while on the move, the C1 Pro combines the reliable VSR-10 platform with a gas/CO2 power source, allowing for rapid firing without the heavy bolt pull of a spring powered VSR-10. Unlike other gas/CO2 powered sniper rifles that have expensive magazines, the C1 Pro stores the gas/CO2 inside the bolt. Either green gas or a 8 gram CO2 cartridge is held within a chamber that can be quickly swapped out when low. For the BBs, the C1 Pro uses standard VSR-10 magazines that are affordable and plentiful. Alongside the gas/CO2 bolt system, all other C1 Pro parts are fully compatible with standard VSR-10 parts, meaning the barrel, bucking, hop-up, and other internal parts can all be upgraded to fit the needs of the user. Included with the C1 Pro are gas and CO2 chambers, and an optional optics rail for the receiver.
Before Action, E-bok
William Noel Hodgson never intended to be a soldier; he wanted to write. The Great War made his reputation as a poet but it also killed him. This groundbreaking biography traces his path through the pre-war world and explores why he set his own hopes and plans aside to join the army. His story is personal but it evokes the experience of a generation. A hundred years on, Hodgson is not only remembered for his poetry. He has become one of the best-known casualties of the first day of the Battle of the Somme, the most deadly day in British military history. His own unit, the 9th Battalion, The Devonshire Regiment, lost well over half the men who went over the top that morning and every officer but one: dead, wounded or missing, most in the first half-hour. Before Action draws on Hodgson�s own writing and on the unpublished letters and diaries of his fellow officers to recreate the experiences of a 1914 volunteer battalion. Through their eyes we see everything from the lighter moments of soldiering to battle at its most violent: at Loos, where Hodgson won the Military Cross, and the opening day of the Somme offensive. The book offers an important new explanation of what happened to the 9th Devons that fateful morning. It uncovers the hidden meanings behind some of Hodgson�s most familiar poems, and its wider themes of family and friendship, war, grief and remembrance, are universal.
