DBoys M4 = €120
Bag of 5000 BBs = €18
Walk-on Fee for the day = €25

The sight of your base falling over and your enemy unleashing the largest amount of bbs you've ever seen in flight at one time heading towards you = Priceless

54 people??? Oh christ looks like I missed a classic *sulk*:(

o1s1n

54?! The last *big* game I was at up there, there was 25. Usual weekends were 6 in the morning.

Has it really been that long?

Heal knee...HEAL!!!

kdouglas

gandalf

Shot of the day.



I don't think Lemming liked it when he found out I had a bounty on the first bang kill against him with the M60. Liamo collected the reward

Oh yes ... mwwuaahaahaa. There was much riddling. I even did some running whilst firing from the hip, one handed

Kdouglas had some sharp cutters with him,so got the feed-tube cropped in short order and it worked a charm. Had a slight problem shortly after with part of a washer or something getting into the magazine and jamming up the feed by wrapping around a BB. Got that fixed in fairly short order, but missed the first game because of it. Fixed mid-way through the second (at the tanker), and ran in on defense. The attackers weren't expecting it and first blood for the M60 was Fallschrimjager from a good distance off down the field.

The '60 has a ferocious appetite though. She was eating the BBs. I went through 3 bags of 2000 BBs :eek:

Yeah that looked extremely painful. Nice medic heals you at then tags you from point blank. I assume it was an accident?

More photos up on my flickr. Will be posting another batch up soon, 128 shots taken today

Ouch! Sorry about that. It's firing high and needs adjusted. I also need to mix white BBs in with the black ones for tracer effect since the M60's rate of fire means I can't even see BBs leaving the barrel (or hearing hits because of the noise).

As for the pasting, you were the first in-game victim

Gandalf asked me to riddle him before we started. He walked out towards the bank around the side of the QCB-house and I riddled him very briefly because he complained so much when getting hit, the big jessie

i have to say tho lemming, 10 out of 10 for it...its a stunning truly stunning piece of kit...

Cheers. I'm well chuffed with it. Good weight-lifting exercise too! I'm getting 2-for-1 on it, airsoft AND weight-training!

Conkey

That was some great games today. Between me trying to retreat and hold me pants up and our medic splitting his in the line of duty what more could ask for!!

Lemmings new battle cry is "come get sum, come get sum.. uff. Hit!!"

*ahem* The buggers were most inconsiderate and avoided the right-side of the field completely because they knew I was there

You have an impressive eye for it I have to say and I know some good photographers to compare against!

Fallschirmjager

well as my disasterous colonel (destroying any vain hope that i was a colonel jack o neill waiting for an opportunity) position was appointed by paul (the typical marine choice was given i need 2 volunteers, you and you, gandalf was the other, er , volunteer, thanks again for that 'gift' paul )) we had a medic on our team, who quite frankly was the balliest guy on the field, well they do say that angels walk with medics on the battlefield, maybe one or 2 was with us today because he friggen danced through rounds today....whoever you were...bravo!!!

actually on the face hit...today every time i got hit, the little buggers squeezed between the face guard and the goggles, or the goggles and the hat...quite amazing really...whats the friggen chances, and when they are over distances we were playing at -- you barely notice tbh, except one on out team, cant remember his name off hand, who got, er involved in a friendly fire incident, jesus that one looked friggen sore....

great sound as well...quite intimidating (depending on the team you are in, then of course its the best sond in the world..., which is the point i suspect...

well bravo for systema...and by the way the fake bullets is classic...

quite a few vietnam types there today...very accurate as well...all we need is a green towel, a couple of claymores and some of the commie types to play 'charlie' and we could have a right laugh...

that and wearing black pyjamas obviously....

had a looksee gandalf at the pics...excellent...we should post them around, i can see it actually driving interest in airsoft...great day for the shots as well..
