Thump Back Thursday: 15 years ago Airsoft was unknown in most of America, the Marines were more than a year away from hitting the dusty trail to take on Islamic extremism. But Thumpy was showing 'em how to do it with the mega-Thumper Mark 19 and landing on the front page of the 'paper in 2000. #ThumpLife #LetsPlayCatch #TBT
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Oh yea...High Explosives downrange...and a Gunny asking if my MoS was an 0331 Machine Gunner "when I was in the Corps." Me: "Gunny, I have flat feet and bad eyes...Uncle Sam didn't want me." Yet. #GreatDayAtWork

THAT’S RIGHT! Time to wish ARN and the every-wonderful NEWS FAIRY a wonderful 15th Anniversary on the interwebz of airsoft fame and fortune! We happened to be poking around about a month or so ago on the AA ‘site, and discovered the following on the “about us” page….
“…ArniesAirsoft has been online in various forms since Thursday, November 23, 2000.”
That makes today the 15th “Birthday” of one of the longest-running sources of airsoft news, commentary and information in the world!
(CLICK THE PICS FOR ALL OF ARNIE’S LINKS, TOO!…and SHARE THE CELEBRATION on TWITTER & FACEBOOK!)
Almost 4 years or so ago, one budding news-Thump had the happy fortune to meet the man behind Arnies at SHOT Show in Las Vegas. Before and since, “O” and his ‘lovely assistant’ and the team behind the scenes at Arnies have been so kind and supportive of our effort to share and grow this little news gig we’ve been doing.
And to know the full back-story on this true hero and public servant in the UK has made us even more appreciative of their friendship! CHEERS and join us in a 21-Gun .25g Salute for the best in the game…ARNIES!
