Right guys and girls, since I was airsofting over a week ago, I’ll provide a short writing of it here:
Friday the 7th was to be a good day for airsofting at SG1 Bellaghy, the weather good and the friends plentiful. The day was pretty much the same as any airsoft day, with the games and craic decent. I actually did all-right for once, perhaps helped by my shiny new JG MP5 which I will review in time on youtube. The Killhouse, the CQB part, was my favourite part, which I managed to win one game for the team. I think the compact MP5 helped. I got a decent number of hits and overall had a good time. The loud noises emitted from William let me (and everyone else) know when he had been hit!
The main problem was my goggles; they kept steaming up. Quite annoying for shooting at a range. But apart from that, it was overall a good day.
Here is my most recent youtube video, which tells the 7 second story of an iPod feeling the almighty wrath of an air rifle (NOT an airsoft gun, totally different things…).
I have scrounged the money to save up for a replacement MP5 Airsoft gun. No, I’m not showing off or being flashy with my new purchase, but as you have seen earlier, my M4 failed on me and split in two. I got together the useful parts from it, sold them on eBay and plunged some of my birthday money and the result is a nice Chinese-made JG MP5. I will be thinking of adding to the countless video-reviews of it already on youtube, or at least get a few pictures up here!
The gun already looks to be a better purchase than my previous model. It is small, manoeuvrable and has a better sling attaching system, much welcome to me. As I am attending SG-1 I hope its size will assist me as it is majority woodland/CQB, no long range stuff. Anything is better than the guns SG-1 rent you. The “power”, the “accuracy”, the 180 round mags, the price of more BB’s, aggh, the mere thoughts of those old AK’s are killing me!
Tomorrow looks to be good, I’ll write up on it later if there are any stories to tell. And as there are 20+ people supposedly attending, it’ll be all-out-war! Bombs away*!
(*Sadly, pyrotechnics are not allowed, so no bombs.)
Airsofting is one of my smaller, but enjoyable pass-times. It is a sport similar to paintball which your primary objective is to eliminate members of the opposing team with your gun.
My involvement is somewhat limited now, mostly due to a “slight” fault with my Airsoft gun. Ah, my gun, the amazing JG M4 CQB. A decent replica of the M4 Carbine, used by the US armed forces and British SAS alike. When I was airsofting on Monday, this fault became apparent. Here is the result of it:
Some assembly may be required.
No, I don’t have the number of the car that went over it. OK, OK, the picture was taken after I disassembled my gun. But the real problem was that the stock just snapped from the receiver. What? Oh, I mean it snapped in two. You can be fairly confident my future airsoft guns will be metal. My advice to kiddies: BB guns are fun, but never let your friend’s younger brother poke with it. And certainly never let him unscrew a screw which you later find out, the hard way, that holds two key parts of the gun together.
