Brad — Fri, 18 Aug 2006 17:53:02 GMT

I just joined this tribe and thought it would be polite to introduce myself.

I'm Brad (Hi Brad!!!)
And I play airsoft.

I belong to an airsoft team based in Vacaville, CA called The Crazy AITs (www.crazyaits.com). We focus on milisim SF A-Team tactics. I'm a bit of a geek. I am an electrical engineer by trade, I also play D&D and participate in Renaissance Faires. As for my non-geek side, I was in the Army for 4 years, was Airborne (jumped out of airplanes) and am currently in the National Guard, and going to try out for Special Forces in October.

So there ya have it! That's me in a nut shell. :-)

cheap gas vs spring vs electric pistol comparison

th0rn — Mon, 08 May 2006 11:30:07 GMT

that other gas vs electric thread is a bit vague with the ??, and this is a bit more specific so i figure i post this sepreately.
i know a bunch of you are only into super high end stuff, i cant afford it (yet). but ive been fooling around with different cheaper guns,
for us broke fools

ive had a half decent, basically low end cheap spring pistol for quite awhile. it shoots ok if i were playing against people, but for targets. ehh, not great. about half the pellets fly off at crazy angles

hop up- bites it big time when shooting at targets , but does appear to travel the pellet a little farther. when it hits a target though, the spin will cause the pellet to just bounce off paper rather than go through.
same with cheaper electric guns

cheap electrics are about the worst. you get kinda fast shots, thats about it. no power, no accuracy at all.

my cheap gas PPK ($25) is about hte best so far. it will definitely be worth saving up to get a better one- one thing i was worried about, using mine in my apt was the noise- the gas actually fires more quietly than my strong spring gun-

and although you have to pay for gas, i am getting about 90 rounds per fill up, so far 5 fillups off a tiny bottle of gas, and plenty left.

theyre not kidding about rapid firing too many shots though- you cant, the gun loses pressure if it gets cold- we were laoding and emptying pretty fast,. as long as you take a few seconds between sohts or at least after a full mag, it warms up again. theyre lying about the 250 fps, it is nowhere near that strong, but good enough to pierce my paper targets and much tighter than the spring. there are still some shots that fly off at weird angles sometimes-
if anyone made it this far, and you have a GOOD gas gun- does it shoot straight every time? how straight? real solid small groups ?
not very long distance, like 10 yards at most

i know good rifles are waaaay better than this......

and even the $50 electrics do much better and are well worth it.

bottom line, having tried a number of cheap spring, gas , and electric guns - the gas is far superior if you want to spend less than $30

cant wait to have $100 at once to blow on a real gas pistol eventually, but the cheapy will hold me over.

Shadow Tactical - Speed Target Shoot Out

shocksystem — Wed, 31 May 2006 19:03:55 GMT

Two Man Tactical Team Shootout - Three Stage Timed Shooting Competition

Time: 16:00hrs to 19:00hrs Saturday / Sunday, June 10 th / 11th

Cost: $12.00 for Shadow Tactical membership holders – Includes T-Shirt (while supplies last).
$35.00 per participant for non members.
$5.00 Rental Special for Gas Pistol or AEG Rifle

Prizes: First Place – Infinity Tactical Vest or Additional Month Membership to Shadow Tactical
Second Place – Excel .20gr BB’s (2 Bags)
Third Place – Infinity Tactical Hard Shell Holster

Requirements:

Each team will consist of two members - larger teams will be divided into two man fire teams.
Each team member will need a Gas Pistol and two magazines (clips) and a holster.
Each team must have one AEG (min) and two magazines (clips).

The First Evolution: Timed Pistol Static Target Shoot Relay

Each participant will run through a 10 target course, firing two shots at each target.
If additional rounds are fired at a target the lowest scoring shots will be counted and 10 seconds (per shot over) added to the combined team time.
There will be a forced magazine (clip) change.
For each 10-ring shot 10 seconds will be deducted from combined team time.
For each missed shot 10 seconds will be added to the combined team time.
Two scores will be posted: Physical Time and Adjusted Time.
Time will start on the Rangemaster’s go and will not stop until the second participant has returned to the start / finish line and secured their pistol in a holster.

The Second Evolution: Timed Rifle Static Target Shoot Relay

Each participant will run through a 10 target course, firing two shots at each target.
There will be multiple target stations, some at long distances.
Time will start on the Rangemaster’s go and will not stop until the second participant has returned to the start / finish line and secured their rifle, removed the magazine and fired three clearing shots.

The Third Evolution: Timed Team Multi-Platform Static Target Shoot

The participants will move through the course in a team (Stack) maintaining physical contact at all times.
The 10 target course will divided into 5 pistol / 5 rifle with a forced transition of the participants position.
One participant will use a rifle, the other a pistol
Breaking physical contact will cost the team 10 seconds per instance

Recommendations:

Look Carefully For Targets -
Not shooting at or missing a target will cost your team 20 seconds. Counting them will help

Speed and ACCURACY -
Spending a little extra “Physical” time for accurate shots will give you a great total on Adjusted Time.

Bring a Secondary Weapon -
An equipment failure could cost you greatly, backup equipment can save you.

Know Your Load-out -
Know your equipment placement. Fumbling for a magazine or not securing your weapon properly will cost you time.

Follow the Yellow Brick Road -
The course is laid out with yellow tape, follow carefully.
Standing exactly over the “X’s” will give you a prime shooting solution and all targets will be easily visible.

Will standard firearm accesories fit onto airsoft guns?

I have a Maruzen CA870 (sawed off). I am thinking of changing the grip on the shotgun, but I don't like the standard airsoft grips for sale. I do, however, like the "Pachmayr Vindicator Presentation Grip" made for the Remington 870. I know that that my airsoft was designed to look like a Remington, but I don't know how /if the part is interchangable.

My overall gun should look similar to the Remington 870 MCS - Breeching Gun

Accurate spring pistol? under $100? help!

th0rn — Wed, 22 Jun 2005 01:29:49 GMT

so i am getting tired of my cheapie pistol putting hole after hole in the same slightly off to the upper right spot. i can see the balls flying off half the time.
it is so hard to determine improvement., and i am getting to the point of trying to counter the off/ of the gun- a worthless endeavor.

the reviews online seem outdated,. and a bit sparse s oany of you guys got a recommendation? you store people (damn ross perot ruining you people for everyone) anyway- what do i have to spend up there to get a decent spring pistol that is fairly accurate ? my apt range is only about 35 ft max otherwise i would consider a rifle, but i want ot get a better pistol regardless

coming back

Bryan — Wed, 09 Nov 2005 01:53:17 GMT

I'm heading back to the States after a year and a half in Japan. I got into airsoft over here and have never played back in the States at all!

I'll be living in the North Bay up in Rohnert Park, close to Sonoma State University.

Just wondering if anybody could catch me up on the local airsoft scene -- if there is one. I've heard of an indoor CQB arena in Windsor but I'm more interested in outdoors & milsim stuff. My best friends play down in Monterey, http://www.cqbchallenge.com -- something like whta they have set up would be incredible... if it were closer :)

Any ideas?

I'm crossing my fingers about bringing my AEGs into the country. Ordered orange tips to put on them and all that. We'll see how it goes. :)

Costume Malfunction

Al — Tue, 12 Jul 2005 19:25:12 GMT

NO- This is not about Janet...

The other night I was transferring my USP (UHC springer from Shortyusa.com) from my desert holster back to my standard holster. Instead of securly holding it, I simply held it by the trigger guard with my index finger. This action resulted in the USP falling about 3.5 feet to carpeted floor then shatter into several pieces.
I was slack jawed in total stunning amazement in that it shattered. I now had the slide, barrel, a couple of springs and some other internal workings that looked obviously stressed from breaking spread on the floor and no repair experience. Trying to be a good sport about it, I told myself that I now had an excuse to get a new USP!
This morning; totally recovered from the initial shock, I realized that the trigger, magazine release, safety switch still worked. I was also able to reattach the barrel and slide back on. On the outside, one can't really tell what damage was done; but, the USP will not be able to fire BBs. This is OK with me since the USP was intended to be part of my costume and for actual gaming.
I had it secure in the holster for about a year now so now I am wondering aloud if my specific USP had some unseen defective element that slipped by QC during its manufacture and/or this has happen'd to anybody else. Obviously, these items should not shatter from being dropped while engaged in gaming.

Both of them are holding airsoft guns, as evidenced from the gas valves on the bottom of the pistol in Smith's hands and the modified MP5K's wielded by Morpheus.

Brand new to airsoft!

azben — Sun, 15 May 2005 06:13:00 GMT

I am more into firearms than airsoft, but figured I would share my 1st experience with airsoft and see if any of ya old-pro's at it would get nostolgiac or offer advice! I posted the following to a dedicated firearms tribe and maybe it will bring more interest into your fine sport:

So I am at Wally-world doing some shopping for family gathering tomorrow, when I see this cheap, plastic softair gun that is regularly priced at $15.86...including 100 pellets and is safe for indoor use. OK, it is less than $20, how good could it be?

Well, I had a blast with the damn thing. The pellets are not supposed to be reused, but my best grouping came on the 4th time these particular pellets went thru the gun. I hung a blanket up in the closet and taped up a paper target. Keep in mind this is after a few *hic* rum-and-cokes and I am sure I could do better sober.

The sights are non-adjustable, so you need to go more for grouping than for hitting particular spot. My best 5 shot group was easily covered by a quarter. Keeping in mind that I am half lit, this is a sub $20 toy with tax, including what looks to be a lifetime supply of 'ammo', I am pleased. I have not yet lost a single pellet as they roll down the blanket I have hung up into a pile. I keep putting the original 15 bb's thru the magazine and shoot away.

I am practicing breathing, trigger pull, and marksmanship for basically free without leaving my bedroom! These suckers have a feature called 'hop-up' that is supposed to put backspin on the bb's which aparently allows them to be accurate out to 25 yards or so with similiar groupings.

I am sure there are more accurate guns (this is a cheapie that you have to cock each time you shoot). There are co2 powered guns, even fully automatic battery powered guns that ppl use in paintball style tourneys against each other. And yes, I did shoot myself to see how much it hurt...not much at all. Not even a red mark immediately after (intentionally, I swear) shooting myself in the foot for a pain test.

Something to look into when ya got the itch, but do not want to load up and drive to a range.

Ben <---- a confirmed Toys-R-Us kid!

a HA! here are the laws for CA

th0rn — Wed, 04 May 2005 10:38:43 GMT

since asking a cop was about as useful as i thought it would be , i did a bunch of searching, this is the latest from CA laws site.
link is at the bottom,
the important detail= if people think it really looks like a gun, it's a $100 fine.
the big distinction is "imitation firearm" or not.
the orange tip is not enough in CA, its all in the parts i quoted below. = all kinds of restrictions on using them in public/ lots of exceptions.
the GREAT thing= if it is totally clear and/or BRIGHTLY marked

no restrictions apply, it is a bb gun, no minors.
Ha! sifting thru Berkeely's bans, it says "gun of any nature" can not be discharged- but state defines BB as "BB device"

seems like done right / respectfuly i can set up somewhere around here

2005 Dangerous Weapons Control Law

12000 thru 12003 General Provisions
ARTICLE 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS

12000. This chapter shall be known and may be cited as "The Dangerous Weapons Control Law."

12001. (a)(1) As used in this title, the terms "pistol," "revolver," and "firearm capable of being concealed upon the person" shall apply to and include any device designed to be used as a weapon, from which is expelled a projectile by the force of any explosion, or other form of combustion, and that has a barrel less than 16 inches in length. These terms also include any device that has a barrel 16 inches or more in length which is designed to be interchanged with a barrel less than 16 inches in length.
(2) As used in this title, the term "handgun" means any "pistol," "revolver," or "firearm capable of being concealed upon the person."

(b) As used in this title, "firearm" means any device, designed to be used as a weapon, from which is expelled through a barrel a projectile by the force of any explosion or other form of combustion.

(g) For purposes of Sections 12551 and 12552, the term "BB device" means any instrument that expels a projectile, such as a BB or a pellet, not exceeding 6 mm caliber, through the force of air pressure, CO2 pressure, or spring action, or any spot marker gun.

12554.(a) Any imitation firearm manufactured after July 1, 2005, shall, at the time of offer for sale in this state, be accompanied by a conspicuous advisory in writing as part of the packaging, but not necessarily affixed to the imitation firearm, to the effect that the product may be mistaken for a firearm by law enforcement officers or others, that altering the coloration or markings required by state or federal law or regulations so as to make the product look more like a firearm is dangerous, and may be a crime, and that brandishing or displaying the product in public may cause confusion and may be a crime.

12556.(a) No person may openly display or expose any imitation firearm, as defined in Section 12550, in a public place.
(b) Violation of this section, except as provided in subdivision (c), is an infraction punishable by a fine of one hundred dollars ($100) for the first offense, and three hundred dollars ($300) for a second offense.
(c) A third or subsequent violation of this section is punishable as a misdemeanor.
(d) Subdivision (a) shall not apply to the following, when the imitation firearm is:
(1) Packaged or concealed so that it is not subject to public viewing.

(3) Used in a theatrical production, a motion picture, video, television, or stage production.
(4) Used in conjunction with a certified or regulated sporting event or competition.
(5) Used in conjunction with lawful hunting, or lawful pest control activities.
(6) Used or possessed at certified or regulated public or private shooting ranges.
(7) Used at fairs, exhibitions, expositions, or other similar activities for which a permit has been obtained from a local or state government.

Merely having an orange tip as provided in federal law and regulations does not satisfy this requirement. The entire surface must be colored or transparent or translucent.
(e) For purposes of this section, the term "public place" means an area open to the public and includes streets, sidewalks, bridges, alleys, plazas, parks, driveways, front yards, parking lots, automobiles, whether moving or not, and buildings open to the general public, including those that serve food or drink, or provide entertainment, and the doorways and entrances to buildings or dwellings.

True Airsoft Story

Rob — Thu, 28 Apr 2005 03:56:45 GMT

For those that don't know me, I am a Police Officer in the Sacramento Area.

A while ago I recieved a call of a asian male adult walking through an apartment complex holding an automatic pistol. As I was nearing the scene I got a second call saying that 5 more asian male adults were seen walking through the same complex , all holding automatic pistols.

Let me tell you. Those 6 guys were not happy to be standing on the soon-to-be receiving end of my HK G36c... and I'm not talking about airsoft there.

In the end... All the airsoft guns were confiscated and citations were issued. Yes, carrying an airsoft is no different than carrying any other gun.

Play safe... Play Smart...

Repairs/Fixes

Spaceman Spiff — Sun, 13 Mar 2005 09:47:51 GMT

Topic for tonight: Infinity Tactical System 320RD mid-cap mag.

hey all...

just spreading usable info on the ITS mid-cap M16 type mag... I bought a pair and tried using them in my ICS M4 and ran into a snag...

Neither mag mag would seat properly, and would not lock in.

Long story short, the problem is an incompatibility with the ICS M4 (and possibly other guns), where the sprint-loaded BB retainer (the jobbie that keeps the ammo from flying out when the mag is wound) has an exposed flat surface on top... which then transitions to a sloped face. The sloped face is what is supposed to engage the male nipple up inside the gun... and being a sloped face, slide back and free the ammo to move into the gun.

The problem is exposed flat top. Unfortunately, the flat is what comes into contact with the nipple in the gun... and thus will not slide back, causing the mag to stop short and fail to lock, not to mention the fact that that the ammo is still restrained.

Solution: You have to dissessemble the mag enough to remove the BB retainer and spring... then sand/file back the sloped face such that the exposed flat top goes away. Reassemble and lube a bit with silicone spray.

DON'T FILE OFF TOO MUCH! If you do, the BBs will not be retained... and wouldn't that suck.

Tools: allen wrench, small phillips, silicone spray

Time: about 15 min per mag.

Have fun!

Treated right... (N. Bay)

Spaceman Spiff — Mon, 14 Mar 2005 04:43:33 GMT

Good service being a rare find these days...

Been on the fast track into my first real airsoft game... Went into JungleToys in Santa Rosa for the first time on Wednesday... and after a few visits emerged resonably knowledgable and well outfitted for the game today.

Had the best damned time... met some cool folks, got to shoot at roughly half of them and did my part as target for the other half.

All the gear worked perfectly (it could have only been better if it aimed itself) ... and my choices in hardware were commended by all. This is owed almost exclusively to Mishka at Jungletoys in SR and her thoughtful advice.

Been treated right there... and recommend the SR JT store wholeheartedly. (It even has a couch :)

I am new to the tribe and noticed that there isn’t much discussion! So let’s brag about our equipment! I want to know all the juicy details about your upgrades (barrels, flash hiders, mechbox, springs, metal bodies, fps, rail systems) all of it! Do you do your upgrades yourself? If not where? Do you have a favorite tech you want to brag about?

notes when working on magazines

ragekitten — Thu, 10 Feb 2005 02:07:11 GMT

if one pushes the little release button on the supermini mag, one should have it pointed away from ones face, because even if the spring IS broken, it will choose that moment to function, barrageing one's eyeball with bb's.

and then it will break again.

JungleToy opens more stores ..

historyteller — Sun, 28 Mar 2004 06:15:21 GMT

Last time I looked, they had 10 stores in SoCal. Now, they've got 20 plus stores all over the US ... and now I'm workin' for em. lol

Airsoft has gone from an invisible hobby only freaks like ShockSystem had ever heard about 10 years ago, to an item you can pick up at Big 5 or Sports Authority. From DIY kits to custom work at The Q Project.

Where do you think it will go now? Will it rival paintball? Will they legislate us out of existance? Will it die the death it deserves like frisbee-golf? :)

What do you think?

************OP HIDDEN SPECTER AAR************

Alex and I would like to start off by saying the Op Hidden Specter was one of our largest and most successful events held! All thanks to you the Airsoft Community!! Now on with the official report: (if you wish to jump to the specs for the next event, skip down to the line break)

7 Feb 04

Combat started off slowly on Saturday. Both teams moved cautiously around the new area. The urban terrain providing many places for ambushes and surprise attacks. The first mission built up enough tension that when the fighting did start it was intense.

The Mercenary team was heavily entrenched in pre-built bunkers and defensive positions, making life difficult for the US Rangers. The Rangers on the other hand had intelligence that could potentially give them the upper hand. At the end of the first mission, it was a draw....no decisive winner...onto Mission 2.

Mission 2 showed some of the most intense fighting of the day. Gun battles raged across streets, in between houses, and sometimes as closes as the width of garage doors. Both sides suffered massive casualties in some extremely fierce fighting. The outcome of this mission was a close call, but given to the US forces.

The third mission proved to be the toughest for the Rangers. They were forced to travel out of the region through known enemy territory, causing mass casualties at every turn. The Roundhouse staff was shocked at the initial casualties that arrived at the Ranger spawn point in groups of 10 or more. At the same time we were extremely impressed as to the tenacity of the Rangers and their desire to win. Unfortunately, though their spirit justified a win, time would ultimately defeat them. The device detonated before they could accomplish their goal of extraction.

When the smoke cleared (figuratively of course), it was still a draw, US 1, Mercs 1. Guess we shall see who wins the next go around. Props to all who attended the first day of combat on an awesome new field of battle.

8 Feb 04

Sunday proved to be a different day all together. The fighting started off fierce and intense. The shooting started almost as soon as the mission go order was given. Backyards were torn asunder, front yards were littered with bodies. Snipers on the Merc team had a field day with the number of targets presented. Rangers were eager to draw blood on every thing that moved....The poor rabbits.... The first mission was a stark contrast to the first day of fighting. I was personally able to see some of the fighting from the perspective of the Rangers, and after getting a couple of kills in a target rich environment, I found myself wounded in the leg by a clean shot from a particular Merc as I hid under a minivan donated by the Bossmonsters. I saw the aggressiveness of the Rangers and the frightening accuracy of the snipers. At the! end of the first 90 min, the rangers held the CP and rescued the mission FBI boys. Kudos to all in the first mission, for it was the harshest fighting I have ever seen.

The second mission was a bit of a cooling off period. The fighting was still intense, but slightly less aggressive as both sides sought out their goals. The Mercs were successful in stealing the Comm equipment, but unfortunately it did little good as the Chem Weapons had already been moved by both teams. The Rangers, armed with intel from the comm equipment were aware of the general locations of the chem weapons. Both teams were able to capture 1 active weapon each. Unfortunately the Weapon recovered by the Ranger team had a faulty detonator and exploded at the spawn point, despite the assurances that it had already been detonated by the members who had recovered it.

At the end of the fight, the Mercs won out with 1 active weapon, which was used to set the stage for mission 3.

Mission 3 was brutal by any account. The car bomb was placed in such a position that the Mercs established a destructive crossfire that pinned down the Rangers. Many aggressive pushes were made by the Rangers, only to suffer massive casualties. Through brutal close in fighting, the timer on the Car detonated exactly 60 min into the fighting. Sorry Rangers, this one goes to the Mercs.
After all the bodies were counted, it was Mercs 2, Rangers 1.

Ladies and Gentlemen...I thank you all for taking part in the most intense and exciting Airsoft event I have ever seen. And the good news is that we will be re-visiting this site in approximately 4 weeks. The city of Marina was pleased with our performance and would not mind having us out there again!

The pics are still being collected and should be posted en-mass within the week, with the hopeful launch of our new web page!

Thanks to all who made this an awesome event!!!

*****************************

Operation Easter Rising: British/IRA Scenario

The year is 1972 and the troubles in Northern Ireland are in full swing. The Irish Republican Army is carrying out a campaign of urban guerilla warfare against the British Army in response to Bloody Sunday, where 13 peaceful civilian protesters are killed by soldiers of 1st Parachute Regiment. As a result, the IRA has gained increased support among nationalists who want a united Irish Republic. Their retribution comes swiftly in the form of bombings, assassinations, and kidnappings.

The British themselves counter with military saturation of urban areas as well as sending in their elite special forces teams, the SAS. These SAS teams are heavily involved in counter-insurgency operations and are frequently committed against IRA volunteers. To supplement them, the British have employed the Ulster Volunteer Force(UVF**), a Northern Ireland Loyalist terrorist group opposed to the IRA. Predominately Protestant, they fear that an Irish Republic will lead Catholic domination in Northern Ireland by the IRA and the Nationalists.

*NOTE* This operation is non-political and does not subscribe to any sectarian views. Operation Easter Rising focuses on the operational histories of the units and organizations that made up the conflict in Northern Ireland.

We look forward to the second event at the new Holtz Bay facility. The first showed us a number of strong and weak points that will be exploited in this next event. We are expecting over 120 people to attend, so registration will be limited. Sign up now!!!

Big Nor Cal Game Feb 8th

shocksystem — Wed, 28 Jan 2004 05:59:16 GMT

Big Northern California Event at Fort Ord!

Hello to all in AirSoft Tribe!

There will be a game held on February 8th at the Fort Ord military base in Monterrey CA that looks to be awesome! This was originally a small event that seems to have grown quite a bit. The original Fort Ord facility that was used for paintball and airsoft games was an abandoned multistory military prison complete with guard towers. I fully enjoyed the 70+ person game I attended on November 15th of last year. This facility was unfortunately shut down in mid December by the Mayor of Monterrey, for reasons that we believed to be anti-airsoft / anti-paintball. This may have not been the case. After receiving many letters from players that attend these games, a new facility was designated for a “test game”. The reason for the shut down that was given as an asbestos problem, not a anti-airsoft or paintball issue, but that they also did not understand exactly what “airsoft” is. So, it looks as though certain VIP’s (Mayor and others) will be attending to see their first game, first hand. A show of excellent sportsmanship and good conduct is a must! We must demonstrate to others that this is a legitimate, organized, action sport, and that it should be allowed to continue - especially when a fully usable venue (abandoned military base being perfect) is available.

This game will be held in the Holtz Bay – Kiska section of Fort Ord. This is an urban area that is abandoned military housing covering several city blocks, a playground or two, a couple of cul-de-sacs and the surrounding land. Yes, these are real housing tracts and city type streets! This venue is truly “Anywhere USA”, and the scenario should prove to be a good urban engagement. There is a 90 person cap on the game but the organizers seem to be very flexible. The venue is huge, and should be used to it’s full potential! Let’s show the organizers that there is also a large demand for quality areas to participate in our sport.

I will be attending, along with the other core members of Shadow Company and a few new members as “terrorist / aggressors” for this game. I hope to make it memorable and exciting for everyone. I will be bringing a disposable camera or two to try and capture some of the event when I have a chance.

If anyone would like to attend to film the game, I am willing to allow the use of my video camera and supply video tape for a volunteer. Of course I will be busy first defending, then selling my stolen VX gas canisters to the highest bidder on the black market for weapons of mass destruction.

If you would like to contact me I am available at: shock@shocksystem.com

I have copied the original post and the link to the pictures of the venue.

I hope to see all of our Nor Cal AirSoft crew there –
