The sky cleared up enough and the birds chirped, who am I kidding it was another fantastic day of indoor airsoft =) I had the pleasure of meeting some readers and YouTube channel viewers this day and it make me know that what I was doing was good. I met a paintballer who said that after watching my video's on my old channel got curious into the sport of airsoft and joined in a couple pick up game with friends, he hooked.
The one thing about being the cameraman is that you get shot by both sides on the field. Imagine how many times I get hit on a regular basis but now add in the lack of light. Now you can get how many times I get hit during night operations. Everyone got lost in the dark it was hard to make out where shots were ringing out from. Some insurgent forces took refuge in the 2nd story building and held it down most of the scenario. Most of the fighting remained on the perimeter streets of the city while very few ventured out into the close quarters of the killhouse. Some of the most notable weapons of the night was a TopTech MP5 pneumatic blow back and a System PTW MAX.
What a day! Thats the first thing that comes to mind on May 8th's day operation. We had some old faces come back to the city and some new ones from all over northern California. Shooting was tough and fierce and insurgent forces were given a good fight. Contrary to the way previous weeks camo forces pulled it together to complete objectives.
Among my most favorite weapons was a Classic Army SCAR, and WE M4 (ver. 3) w/ real steel Trijicon. All players displayed some solid shooting. I tried to film from different locations this time and opted for at least an overhead view of the city. Simulated reports went off like butter on pancakes and ill admit caught me off guard. Insurgent forces had a tough time rallying together but they fought hard and valiantly. Cant get them all the time!
I dont know what I like better the smell of fresh coffee brewed by CQB City staff member, James, or the smell of spent propane emanating from GBB weapons. Either way too much of either is strongly addicting. As we near the summer type weather players are lightening their loadouts and opted for high speed low drag gear. With near another 60+ crowd on the field Chief opted to try a bit more complex scenario's some having at least 5 objectives each relating to the last. With the camera in my hand I attempted to film a bit of POV style video. What I ended up capturing was some solid shooting by myself and those shooting at me. Its a very small glimpse of what its like running around CQB City.
On a humid day to play operators came from all over to beat the heat in CQB City's indoor facility. With close to 60+ players in attendance I got lit up more than a "dread-head" on 420. Every week it seems that players gets more and more gutsy as the fighting tightens. Some of my favorite weapons of the day were a Smith & Wesson Hardball (clear M3000 spring shotgun) which is the kind you can find at Walmart, Target, etc. Why? As you will see in the video the operator running around everywhere using its 19rnd magazine to its fullest capacity. Another was a WE GBB SCAR an operator had that I could hear clear across the field during a firefight. Hearing a WE GBB is such an intimidating sound I could not help but fix my camera pointed in its direction.
Details: I have been given the opportunity to giveaway a pair of boots that I reviewed in a previous post. The guys at Magnum Boots US headquarters are excited to share their footwear. The reason's why I do these giveaways is to show my appreciation to YOU, my readers, and my viewers for your continued support. I have been presented a awesome opportunity to entertain you with my musings centered around airsoft and you all continue to come back. Thank you!
40+ people came out to a nice night operation at the city for a 20 vs 20 force on force action on Saturday evenings events. I will admit it now that I did a lot more playing than I did filming. Not because I was lazy rather like I have always said; night operations are always difficult to film with my current camera setup. Until I can get some great low light camera I will attempt to film as much as I can during night ops.
I find myself in the thick of the firefight with enemy forces all around me. With the lack of backup from the younger teamates I often was left alone to defend a front bymyself. The first and last couple of scenarios I navigated in the dark often leading me face to face with opposing forces. It never felt so good to shoot with my sidearm as it did during this night op. At some point a rouge player made their way behind our lines. I quickly ran and engaged on the target only to find out the rouge player was other than a fellow CQB CITY staff member. Towards the end of the night total blackout scenarios reigned as lights were turned off and nvg's and tracer unites were turned on. From the little I could see players blindly navigated through the city ran making it for a truly frightening experience. If you have ever stormed into a room during daylight try doing it at night.
