The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

Another cracking day at Red Alert. As @Skullchewer said only one person there was an issue with taking hits. Left my SCAR H at home, so I would have to use the SR25 all day. Got some cracking shots and liked supporting players when needed. With some team work we took out some snipers, which is alway nice. 
 

@Skullchewer did you take this photo? The calm before the headshot storm.

Yes mate, whipped my phone out while you had your back turned when we were on defense.

 
I went to an airsoft game once and one of my team mates shot an off duty marshal and I guess ur didn’t like that very much because after the game the off duty marshal went around saying “I’m gunna fight this idiot” and “I’d beat the sh#t out of this d#ck

Sounds like an awfully disagreeable chap!

Was he a player?

He sounds like a gigantic bellend.

I do wish there was more mil/filmsims in the Democratic People's Republic of Caledonia, as I agree that themed is far more rewarding than random skirmish days.  Doing half a day's travel (there and back) to get to events Doon Sooth is a bit too much of a gamble for me though.

The state of the roads locally means four five hour day time drives are usual for me.  Driving through the night I can be in Glenn Coe in eight.  Having to wait to pick up mates after work for games and then driving Friday evening is crap tbh.  If I go on my own I leave at 3am and have a kip in the van on arrival.  Bloody big gamble to play somewhere the first time with a journey like that, which is why I like playing themed games as different sites get the same group of players, and word soon gets out about badly run days.  

There were players from The Wash, Leicestershire and somewhere Oop North to judge by their accents this weekend.  Couple of lads from Wolvo regularly play themed games there too. 

 
Today it was no hit takers day and overkill day as well as some shenanigans with one player I suspected of having an unregulated HPA and causing 8 to 10 players to leave the game site.

Two blemishes are defo 0.2's in a RIF that is chrono'd to spec, that is very clear and what I expect to see when I come from a game that has been played with players following the rules.

The other three and I have about 35 of them all over me, shots from further than the others I took, left me with those bleeding welts which is not what airsoft is about. Had they been really close shots like within 20ft, I'd expect a 0.2 to leave a bigger mark. To be clear on this, I had a long sleeve'd top on.

I suspect that the guy concerned was using 0.25's or 0.28's for something like those. To make it clear to the morons in the room, its twatish play like that--that sends the kids home to be never seen again and how is the sport to grow if you have morons intentionally taking the piss and driving away the new intake..? I have noticed a big drop in numbers of players recently as the regulars and myself agree that there are a few rogues players who pop up from time to time and you get this kind of game play that ruins the fun.

There was a guy who took a point blank hit to the arm, twice by a guy that could have just as easily have hit the guy in his plate carrier. 

There was one guy kept on taking hand shots, aiming to hit you on your hand and I got hit several times, luckily the gloves took the brunt. One guy ended up with an injury to his hand and it was very nasty, defo a hospital trip that one

There is beginning to be too many twats who just don't understand what fun is and that when they turn up, its off putting to people and they are the problem in the sport, not those complaining about fair game play, these guys tend to be the non-hit callers / takers, I popped a few guys dead centre of body mass and they carried on game play regardless.

So this weeks game was a lot of angry players wondering who it was... Put it this way, by half time we'd lost 8 players because of this one twat.

Excuse the rant but I think it needs pointing out to the morons in airsoft as they just don't get it, they are hurting the sport, not taking part in it... they may like to get hurt as part of their fun package and others hurt people back, that doesn't mean that its OK, especially when there are rules for good reason.

Amazing game again at Diggers Namsoft themed game in Kent.  A little down on numbers perhaps this year and a small decline in green machine players.  A shame that work and weddings seem to clash with the important things in life!

Anyhow, arrived on Friday feeling wiped out due to lack of sleep, but soon felt good relaxing with mates old and new.  |Met a few new faces at their first game.  I did wonder if a whole weekend of airsoft would stagger them but they were young and full of vim as they used to say.  Bloody good relaxed night around the campfire was a good way to start a game weekend I think.

Day one and each of three Aussie squads were put together.  Each was given a particular mission.  Ours was to patrol an area and search for VC.  This was a win on their part as we never found them and they completed their objectives.  We did keep busy and tbh, we needed the time to get into the swing of things.  A shake up run was important to get people into roles within the group.  It took a few minutes to get us all in order of march and to work out who was best point or tail end Charlie.  The odd firefight with rapidly disappearing foes kept us alert to say the least. 

After three quarters of an hour, we were rushing out to fights on the Land Rover, being RPG’d, ambushed, and counter ambushing.  It was spectacular fun and pretty exhilarating.  The vehicles and array of weapons was excellent.  I realised that I had a good kill to death ratio at one point, only to get marmalised for the next few fights. 

The afternoon was started with sounds of rockets and large flames as a simulated plane downing took place.  Now we had a race to the crash site with the VC arriving first and putting up stiff resistance as they withdrew with both black box and pilot.  Won the battle but lost the fight…

A break for evening meal, and we were back in base at 7 o clock.  As darkness fell, we had been frustrated by countless /VC sqauds appearing and having to be chased and (occasionally) engaged.  The whole damn lot of them then attacked.  Seriously, the night games at this event and Arclight have been the absolute best I’ve ever played.  Really pulse pounding stuff and only luck denied the VC victory.  A couple of grenades a few feet further and they would have overrun us easily.  As it was I was not taken out until someone jumped atop the bunker I manned.  Not sure if they did get my shirt sleeve with their pistol, but the audacity and speed that they showed were impressive and I took the hit whatever, sat back and watched the fight unfold as best I could.  The landmines hidden at the base entrance gave couple of players a loud surprise.

Another night under canvas and one of the best things about airsoft was evident.  I had a few beers with a chap I would never have normally met, but which revealed a similar life in similar family and work circumstances a mere continent away; eye opening stuff and another face to add to the people to have a beer with.  Swapping home cooked food was good too.  Went to bed full of single malt, aged brandy, fine cigars and top notch grub various corners of the world. 

Sunday was a raid on the VC camp to retrieve both box and pilot.  A most intense firefight that lasted almost two hours left us exhausted and hot but victorious.  It also left us embarrassed as several people had left and the VC were only about a third of our number… 

I’ll resist the temptation to bang on any more.  I had a seriously good weekend again, with top notch players, no no hit calling, arguments or any other unwelcome bollox.  A full twelve hours or so full on airsoft with vehicles, fireworks, mines, RPGs, a tight rule set and good playing standards, and had good time after game pigging out with friends.  Top quality and I can’t wait until the June game at Eversley.   I prefer a top quality game weekend once a month with the odd day skirmish to the fortnightly skirmish that I did for years.  More sites, better playing standards and a great social.

I am due to go to the June Nam game at Eversley, look for the PAVN dude with the GHK and an LCT RPD, if it doesn't clash with my Gaelic football

Oooooh, more for the glorious PAVN / VC side? I'll be there as VC with a VSR and my attempts at a mostly period appropriate "ghillie" and rifle wrap (lots of scrim net and lots of natural foliage).

It is sad that there are always a few people who ruin it for the many who love airsoft. Have you reported this to the site marshals? At the end of the day if the site are not on top of these things, incidences like this will unfortunately continue, until something serious happens or the site closes due to lack of return business.

I, like many long servicing airsofters on this forum are heart broken, disappointed and angry when we see these and hear about this incidents like this.  
 

I guess others on here will comment better than myself.

Your absence was noted at Diggers.  

See you both on the 10th.  I'll be donning black pjs and AK one day, PAVN and support weapon the other.  Du ban GI!

Ohh thats ominous! By whom? Shane?

It depends if I am playing Gaelic or not that day to be honest as the team comes before airsoft.

Our legendary General Mhyk if memory serves.   We missed your gas powered 'fut, fut, fut.'  

Hope you don't have a clash with the Gaelic football.   We have imperialists to slaughter.  

 
Ahh General Mhyk.  Great bloke. Yeh never an issue figuring out where I am on the battlefield LOL

Yeah, they know and do what they can to prevent breaches, its the catching as identifying some players who are in the game is difficult, especially when they're shooting from positions providing dark and cover and the fast action pace all make for a hard job being able to point out who is not playing by the rules.
