So Jason, Cameron and I decided to check out Ultimate Airsoft and I have to say the field has a ton of potential. When we arrived, we noticed about 40-50 players so I was worried that it’d be a night of grinding frontal assaults but the groups were split into two, the walk ons on one side and what I’ll call the Sgt. Splatters group on the other and each group rotated on the field. Good thing for me as I did notice a few people I didn’t like but lol they were in the other group so no big deal for me.

The skirmishes we played were quick and dirty and most games either had a 2 minute or 5 minute window so it encouraged fast play. The field itself is rather large though we only used around 2/3 of it and it’s what I envisioned a large TTAC3 to be. Some corners were very tight but between structures there was a decent amount of room to maneuver.

In the video there are four short games, lol the opposition was pretty light as we were playing against newbs who didn’t really know what to do and attack… Much of the night, Jason and I were able to completely come around them to either shoot or mercy them from behind. 😉 The night got progressively more difficult as the team we were on got smaller and smaller, at one point there were 4 of us and we had to attack a 7 defenders, lol anyone who plays airsoft knows you need 3-4x the number of attackers when playing attack and defend so we lost that one but overall the night was still great.

During the breaks I showed the owners the PVS-14, Jason and I brought our NV with us as we didn’t know what to expect and was hoping there would be some low light games (but there wasn’t till the last zombie game of the day). After the night was done I showed them how useful a PEQ box can be, lol they were definitely impressed and have not seen hardware like that before. 🙂

I love how receptive the owners were too of suggestions on how to improve the facility. There are two choke points that can cut off 2/3 of the field if you’re starting from the front, they acknowledged it and are already working on a bypass to improve flow (the field is still a work in progress). Everything else I felt was very reasonable, the field fee of $33 was a bit high but whatever it’s a dedicated airsoft only field right. They haven’t instituted the field only BB rule yet but even when they do, the prices again are very reasonable (1000 BBs for $10). I heard a few others bitch and complain about that and I told them outright that Ultimate Airsoft is not a charity case, they’re in it to make some money and that there’s nothing wrong with that.

That’s one thing that has always driven me crazy, we can spend thousands to equip ourselves but complain about field fee and BB prices, get real. If you want to play, you better be ready to pay.

Had to put someone in their place

I also spoke to a few of the other players during the break (typical shooting the shit stuff) but there was this downer from the 6mm fighter team who kept insisting NV was a waste of money and that he’d never spend money like that. Initially I tried to be nice by telling him that I’m a bit older, my career is established and when they’re my age they’ll be able to afford things like that but he was not having any of it and it became a bit of a pissing match. The dude even had the nerve to tell me if I saved the money on my airsoft gear, I could have bought a better car (funny since his car was no better than mine). Haha compared to the average airsofter (at least in the Southern Ontario area) my life is a beacon of success and have no problems doing a “one up” match if he wants to play that stupid game.

After about 5 minutes of this nonsense it got as far as comparing who has a nicer home, I decided to go “nuclear” to end this and told him I just purchased a $700k house and that I’m in the market for a new Porsche 911. One of his friends could see things were getting heated and jumped in telling him if he had the money that he’d buy NV and stuff too… Again I absolutely hate show offs and I’ve always tried to live a modest lifestyle but this dude definitely rubbed me the wrong way. Yeah I also get envious of what others have but not to the point where I have to ruin other people’s fun…

Anyway enough of that BS, Jason, Cameron and I had a fun time and we’ll definitely be going back. It’s a shame the place has been infested by the Sgt. Splatters crew but whatever if I have to shoot their camping asses next time, then that’s just what I’ll do. 😉 Hopefully next time I can bring a few more GHOSTS with me, we’d definitely own the facility as CQB is “our thing”.
