After the Air Soft segment was finished. Our day was
not over yet. JB drove Ben and I to the 5 Star productions
head quarters, where we were given a tour of the facility.
While there, the premier episode was ready for it’s
first viewing.
Ben and I had
the privilege
to preview
the episode
before it aired
on TV. After
the episode
ended, JB,
Rossi, Jordan,
and 5 Star
asked us for
our opinion
on the show.
We were able
to offer some
feedback and
even assist in the discussion process of tweaking the episode.

Studio.
About Rossi Morreale
Rossi Morreale was born and raised in Arkansas.
Where he attended the University of Arkansas and played
college football on the Razorbacks. Prior to hosting American
Airgunner, he has hosted various TV shows including,
CMT’s Can You Duet, Discovery’s Belly of the Beast to TLC’s
Junkyard Megawars.
Rossi has some background with firearms, but not too
much in airguns, during the filming of the customs segment,
he was truly interested and engaged in all of the customized
airguns.
His high energy and enthusiasm along with being a
quick study on all things airgun related make him a wonderful
host for the 2013 season of American Airgunner.

Note the bottles on the log bench in the background. At one point, Rossi picked up an
Elite Force 1911 on the first shot knocked a bottle down.
The Elite Force Airsoft segment was education for
both Ben and myself as most of our background is with
airguns. The higher quality Airsoft guns replicate their
firearms counterpart in size, weight, and construction. And
are also used in police, government, and military training
scenarios as well as recreational purposes.
After the segment was filmed, we had the opportunity
to talk with Andy and Cliff to ask questions on the various
questions and the Airsoft guns, ammo, and different
propellent systems such as C02, Green Gas and electric.
Andy also allowed
us to shoot his personal
Elite Force 4CR (used in
the filming) in both single
shot and full automatic
mode. The 4CR had the
feel of a firearm, without
the recoil and report.
After it, I understood why
these would be popular for
training purposes.

There was a lot of preparation, planning, and
coordination that went in behind the scenes during the
filming of each segment. Multiple camera men set up to film
the segment from different angles along with sound people
and others that prepared the location for the shoot. The
producer, host, and guests discussed the flow of the segment
and other details.
