order update

Just a short one today. Order was placed this morning and will arrive in New Zealand by Tuesday. Will take another day or so to get through customs and then a day or so to get to halo's house. (halo is the DAC armourer and does the international orders for the club, he is also the person to go to if any equipment breaks as he generally knows how to fix it.) Then it will be quick drive to his place in Oamaru to pick it up or he will send it to my place. After getting it, will need to dial in my sights so its all ready for the next game on the 15th. Next post will either be when the m4 arrives or if I think of something to post before then.

M4

So after chatting with the guys from DAC (Dunedin Airsoft Corps) and some lengthy research online I have picked out a awesome M4 assault rifle. will get the quote for shipping tomorrow. Its made by G&P which is one of the leading airsoft manufactures and is based in Hong Kong. Because they are so expensive I figured it would be worth spending that little bit more to get a good one that wont break anytime soon and if it does they are pretty cheap to repair.

I also bought a awesome set of Dutch BDU will blend very nicely with the field

First Game

I spent the day playing today out at the Dunedin field. was a awesome day sunny no wind or rain not that we saw much of the sun. the Dunedin field (kilmog) is is in a small forest lots of dead trees and bushes to take cover behind. a track leads through it which crosses over a small creek. the first game we played was initiation (3 new guys including me) pretty much we had 5 minutes to get into the bush and take cover before everyone else came after us. I was using the clubs mp5 as the g36 was broken. there was no re-spawning, once hit, you were out. about 10 minutes after the game started i had first contact. i was lying on a ridge over looking the track and waited for them to pas by before opening fire on them. managed to hit 2 before i was hit myself. after we had finished we started a VC trail game. 3 snipers consisting of the 3 most experienced players were the VC and they went out to set up a ambush. the rest of us gave them 5 minutes and then had to follow the trail. when we were hit we had to call for our medic to come and heal us before continuing. once they were hit they had to fall back to the next ambush point. this was a lot of fun and it took us about 2 hours to make our way along the trail back to the start point which is about 500m. after lunch we played again with the same teams except this time we were the VC and the roles were reversed. this game in turn took about 3 hours. by the end of it we were all buggered and ready to go home. i was invited back to the next game which is in about 3 weeks.

The Beginning

So about two months ago I discovered the combat sport called "airsoft". Airsoft is a lot like paintball except its a lot better. Airsoft uses very realistic 6mm BB guns and is is played over a longer range than paintball. The games are generally played out in the open, in a field, forest or indoors. The only restrictions for play are that you are 18 years or older or 16 and over with a current firearms licence, and you have to wear a minimum of shock resistant glasses that protect your eyes from the bb's If you want more info on airsoft just google it and you should find plenty.

This sunday is my first game, cant wait. Finally got the start of my collection of gear today. For the first few games ill hire out one of the clubs guns but will rovide my own secondry weapon and rest of my gear. For my first game i have hired out the clubs G36 assult rifle and will be using my own WE Hi capa Baby 3.8.

That is a WE Hi Capa Baby 3.8.

Its full metal and all chrome coloured. It feels amazing and shoots and sounds amazing.

it is powered by Gas (green gas) which is stored in the magazine. Its semi automatic and is blow back which means that after each shot the slide "blows back" just like on a real gun. I also got 2 extra magazines, 2 magazine pouches to hold them and a holster for the gun itself.

After my 2nd game ill become a full member of the Dunedin club and will then proceed to buy more gear, will keep you updated.

Thats enough for now ill update you sunday night after the game.
