C4 Trap scenario

12th of September,2010 - Balcescu

We had a good idea of a scenario,called C4 TRAP.Obviously,if something can go wrong it will.

The idea is very good,but it needs a lot (and I mean a lot!)of adjustements and improvisations in the field.Not that is something wrong with improvising under fire :-),but as I said,it's a new idea and it may take a while until we can call it a 100% playable scenario.

Good people,both parties!Lots of noobs,which is brilliant.

Played with the MP40.Trusty old gun,but the scenario was such that I fired less than two mags.Problems encountered:
Replica and mags were freshly cleaned and probably I had a tad too much silicone.Probably due to this ,the hop-up behaved stupid on me today.The rate of fire was pretty good,but it is visible an improved gearbox /barrel/trigger adjustment and battery could add to this replica behavior.

Next time,on the 03rd of October.Can't wait!

WWII re-enactment in Russia

This is very impressive,by a long shot.Russians impersonating German soldiers in a WWII re-enactment play ...wow...how time goes by...

However,I do suspect they use blank fire ammunition and replicas.Listen to the sound the Unteroffizier makes with the MP40 in the dugout (min 1.01 forward).By the sound of the arming you can tell is a blank fire replica.

Also,the sound of the weaponry durign the assault is similar to blank fire ammo,not airsoft:-)

Nice touch with the motorcycle and the period vehicle.When the Russians do it,the really do it!

Accurate enough uniforms and weaponry too!From Russia with love...

The Gathering:Operation "First Stone" 2010

Click bellow for pictures from this event.



Enjoy,people!I know I did...:-))

Been a'while

Been a'while now,lazy or busy as a bee doing my thing.Nonetheless,I have been playing every occasion I had,in the last 2-3 months.

Just so you know,I was a part of this Romanian airsoft event here:

The Gathering : Operation "First Stone"

or here : Airsoft Alliance

I am lost for words!!!I never imagined such intensity of the game,such space to develop "real life" scenarios,and so many comrades!Indeed this was a morethanIeverhoped thing to happen.

A pity I took ill for the first day(out of two),due to back pains.Nonetheless,the second day I was there,and even if the sorts decided not to play along and with my Bacau mates,I did everything I could to face whatever the game threw at me.And plenty of things to be met,believe you me!

A photo of myself and my Bacau mates,apart from 2 guys that played in our squad (boonie hat from Bucharest & olive kneepads,far left view from Piatra Neamt)

No,they are not my team.

Yes,they are my friends!

Historical service weapons

I just found this video presentation quite interesting.Obviously,it is probably well known to afficionados,but as I am no such experienced in WWII weapons,I just stick this video here.Enjoy!

M4 SIR Defender

This is the new replica I am getting used with.Good gun,heavy gun.Red dot is just awesome.

Hope this will be a good add for the games:M88 SWAT replica helmet.

Independence Day

At it again!Place:Balcescu derelict farms near Bacau.Phewww...I am rusted indeed,the game took the breath out of me.This is not good,mind you.Too many ciggies and too little gym.How the heck am I gonna sustain the rush at The Gathering in September coming?Hope I'll get in some shape til then.If not,that's it...gym 24/7.

It seems radios are useless ,at least they were pretty much useless this time.Without any form of strategy of locate/enter/sweep and destroy,the whole game quickly turned in some hide and seek game.I need to re-gain the knowledge I once had,now lost due to so many years.And try to keep up with the younger mates of the team.This is the most grueling task so far:breath!



If some of the newbies,me included obviously,would agree to meet 2-3 hours in a different day and try to get in shape,i.e. CQB tactics,that would be just awesome!Seeing the opposing team in action,I felt useless and like playing alone against them.This is not on,I am sure something can be done so we can score some good hits.For instance,I haven't "killed"a single one of my "enemies".And I got mowed down e v e r y f u c k i n g time!!!This is so annoying,but it's entirely my fault!They were good,I was not.Is that simple!

Gun behaved pretty well this time.However,some new batteries are needed badly!

This is pretty much it.No worries,I'll get there.
