We have a new Worthy Initiate, Brian K, Callsign is Rathkrieg. He is a friend from the NorthLAN Gaming Center, of which yours truly is a faithful patron. He has just purchased an airsoft replica of the Barrett .50 caliber, which cost him $750 shipped...sounds a little like overkill to me!

This is the product he is getting soon. I will perform upgrades and maintenance upon this beast when it comes in, just gimme a soldering iron, a bag o' shims, and a monster sized spring, probably in the realm of 500 FPS. Hell yeah!

We also have a group on Facebook AKA FAIL-book for those of you on that site. I personally despise it in some ways but it's useful apart from the asinine requests the locals send us.

We are the Wasteland Airsoft Rebels, a small axis-of-evil-themed airsoft team from the frozen wastelands of Duluth, MN and Superior, WI and the surrounding area. When the sport is being flooded with M4 carbines and Special Forces wannabes, somebody has to err on the side of darkness. Well, ha ha not really, we just have fewer gear requirements and restrictions and more badass attitude. But we still follow the rules and are honorable players, no matter how evil our team can be otherwise. We also use a variety of .. and equipment, though some of us are not active at the moment due to our personal lives overtaking the fun. Kinda sucks, but we'll pull on through.

Our goal is to promote safe and fun airsoft gaming among enthusiasts in the Duluth-Superior area. It is not easy for us to find other gamers, and even harder to find areas to play, so we need your help. Anywhere outside city limits and with proper permissions (such as consent of a private landowner) is normally a good place to play, given that it is out of view of the general public or busy highways (people don't always know what's going on). There are a handful of official airsoft fields in the United States, however, I know of none near us. The paintball fields at Superior Firepower, south of Superior, WI, allow occasional airsoft games, with proper field fees, so our group can practice there.

We seek anyone in the Twin Ports area who is interested in Mil-Sim and other forms of Airsoft gaming. We are not only interested in new players, we are also seeking out new locations for airsoft play, whether it be in the woods or an open field or whatever...and if anyone knows of any good and legal places in the Twin Ports area for urban or CQB campaigns, please inform us.

Also, for those of you who do not have a MySpace account, you may contact us at:

We would also like to note that safe airsoft play, more than anything, is the most important part. We insist that everyone use proper face/eye protection and we strongly discourage neighborhood or "street" airsoft games. Airsoft gun replicas are very realistic and may be mistaken as real firearms, leading to involvement of law enforcement and a risk of being on the receiving end of deadly force. So please, do the smart thing and play away from populated areas, preferably on sanctioned airsoft fields, however, if there are none in your area, a good open field on a friend's property would work also.
