So its been awhile since anythings really happened. theres a game tomorrow (saturday) but as i'm stuck at work i wont be going to this one. On the weekend of the 20th a team of 5 DAC members myself included will be heading up to christchurch to play CSG on the saturday and then either TAG on sunday or CSG again on sunday. Should be a great weekend. We had a fixit night at halos place last fortnight and he took a few of us through how to take our mech boxes apart and how to change out the guns springs and how to fix the inner workings of our guns. It was a good night as we all learnt alot.

Airsoft weekend 1st-3rd of October
Rightio where to begin? Ruckus, Hobbs and I left Dunedin on Friday night on the way to Timaru. On the way up we stopped by Halo's house in Oamaru. While there we unjammed a couple of the club guns and Ruckus picked up his new m4 that he had bought off Halo. We then left Halo's place and continued up to Timaru. we stayed the night at Ruckus's grandparents place who were awesome.
2nd of October:
We awoke at 7:30am had breakfast and loaded up the can and set off to SCARS field. SCAR (South Canterbury Airsoft Rangers) is a new airsoft group and they had just acquired a field and had invited us up for a game and some guys from Christchurch also came down for the day. Arriving at the field there were about 20 people there already. in total there were 24 players on site i think. After going around and meeting everyone we headed down the track to one of the bases for the day and proceeded to do a safety briefing. On the way to the base we stopped and watch a cow give birth, looked very painful. After the safety briefing we geared up and split into teams. The other team left for their base and we came up with a plan of attack. We were playing basic capture the flag. We split our team into too smaller teams an offense and a defense team. I was in offence with about 5 new guys from SCAR (this was their first game of airsoft) and a couple of awesome guys from TAG (Mouse, Matt, and someother guy who I cant remember his name, I'll call him Bob) who are from Christchurch.
The whistle blew signaling game on. the defensive team took up positions around our flag and we moved off. One team went to the right and our team went to the left. after going about 20m we came to a giant clearing. I remember mouse just saying "oh F@$K!!" I volunteered to go first and sprinted about halfway across the clearing before falling into a giant ditch which acted like a trench. About 2 minutes later the rest of my team had joined me in the ditch.
Now is when everything turned to shit..
We had two enemy snipers in trees across the clearing who pinned us down in the ditch so we weren't able to move. and a unknown amount of enemy moving through the bush to our right flanking us. Bob sees movement and turns to fire to our right and gets sniped in the ear. He calls his hit and moves back about 30m mouse is the next one to go being hit by a lucky shot that came through a bush. and i was the next to go trying to get the SCAR guys to move down the ditch a bit while staying out of fire from the snipers. So Bob, Mouse and I are waiting to come back to life about 30m from the clearing. Once alive we discuss our options, we know we wont be able to get back to the ditch and even if we did we wouldn't be able to do anything so we decide to leave the SCAR guys where they were and go do our own thing. We cut around the clearing to the left and ran straight into a wall of blackberry. The next 40 minutes was uneventful, it was just the three of us alone forcing our way through blackberry and very dense bush. 40 minutes later covered in scratches and totally exhausted we came to a small cliff sort of thing we were about to call defeat and return to the clearing when mouse spied the enemy flag about 20m away. All we had to do was slide down this small cliff of about 3m. The only thing stopping us was a bush of blackberry a wire fence and a small tree. Mouse said he would go first so we went down feet first and used his rifle to push everything out of the way we sat at the top and watched and laughed. 5 mins later he got to the bottom and the was a nice small tunnel the he had made so i slid down it followed by Bob and we were all excited for about 20 seconds. In front of us was about 4m of green smelly bog with a dead sheep in it. Bob said he would go first he slowly goes about half way across when the branch he was standing on snapped and he sunk down to about halfway up his thighs. Mouse and I looked at each other and realised we could either quickly go through the bog hopefully not get too wet or spend the next 45 minutes going back the way we came through the blackberry. We decided bog. By this time Bob had made it to the other side and me and mouse set off after him. About halfway across we came under fire. Mouse yelled out " stop shooting us u pricks we are stuck in the middle of a bog" someone yelled back "are you going to call that you are hit?" Mouse replied "No!", the other person yelled out "then stop whining u bitch" and started shooting at us again. Bob managed to hit him and the other person who were shooting at as and we made it across the bog. we started crawling our way to the flag not a enemy in site when... The whistle blew signaling game over. mouse looked like he was going to murder someone. after that we had lunch and played a couple of games of assault the base in which i got a few awesome pistol kills and had a lot of fun. by the end of the day we were exhausted and whilst packing up one of the guys from TAG came up to us and asked if we would like to shoot up to chch tomorrow and play their team. we thought it over and said yes and then went back to ruckus's grandparents house for a roast dinner and bed.
3rd of October:
Going to keep this one short.. alarms went off at 5:30am for the 2 hour drive up to chch so we could begin playing at 9. very good turn up about 30 people in total. started the day off with virus which was alot of fun and kept everyone guessing. followed by two game of capture the flag and a game of pilot down. then it was time to pack up and drive the 5 hours back to Dunedin.
all in all a great weekend and i loved every minute of it.
