Field Day 1

As planned,yesterday 27.06.2010,5 of us met at the Balcescu derelict buildings.We played indoors,and although I took plenty of BB's with me(or so I thought),I somehow managed to borough some from a team mate.It has been a good day to yell and shoot,and I am very pleased.

Now,some considerations I believe to be in order to be remembered by yours truly:

• plenty BB's - there is nothing more frustrating than ask or beg to load your mags.OK,it's less frustrating than having to yell "dead" due to lack of ammo.
• goggles - I chose to play with the new ones,the scuba style.Got fogged in a matter of minutes,and no matter what I did(spraying them lenses with some stuff,wiping,etc) the goggles remained fogged for the most part of the day.Nasty affair.Once I got home,I cut some holes round the lenses,on the rubber rim above these.Hope this works.
• gun - I used it only on single fire mode.Probably due to this,after 2 hrs or so,the trigger ceased on me,blocked all the way.Switching to auto mode and back didn't seem to do the trick.After another 20 mins,the gears inside stopped to work altogether.Team mates were of opinion the battery died on me.However,once I got home,the gun worked fine.Annoying.I shall take it today to Isidor here in Bacau to be looked at and if need be,put back to work safely.
• one other thing ,re this gun of mine:seems the "safe" position of the fire switch is not true.With the gun in safe mode,it still fires ...
• and yet another thing ,re gun:the hi-cap worked fine,until some pellet got stuck inside and the gun stopped being fed.But the nasty thing is that the two brand new magazines bought from Isidor managed to raise my blood pressure,i.e. the top plastic plate that holds the feeding nozzle(the part inside the gun)was playing stupid:it got stuck inside the gun,for the plate moves some 2 mm either side of the mag.The insertion of the mag is not smooth as it should be,but to take out the mag and put another one in field conditions is almost impossible,due to this magazine problem.And yeas,the mags are more that a snug fit inside the gun receiver.Takign these out needs three hands,I only have two.1 actually when under fire.
• lack of silicon lube.Not good.Note to self:BUY SOME,you stingy SOB!!!
• red dot thingy - not properly aligned with the actual POI.Solve this issue!

Apart from these,all went well.Or as well as it gets,considering the newbie that I am :-).

To each and all that formed the team yesterday,thank you!Looking forth to next session.

Very much so.
