Yesterday Mark, Charlene (his gf), Maggie and I went to a Flag Raiders game and it was great. Everyone had a lot of fun even though it was a bit wet due to the reminisce
of hurricane Ernesto. LOL every time we got to a specific field to play, it started to rain and when we went off to reload the rain would stop…

During setup I was trying to adjust the hopup on my M14 but there was obviously something wrong because it was struggling to lob BBs past 5 meters, needless to say I was extremely disappointed. After a bit of cursing I shook the M14 up and down and that actually improved things! It wasn’t shooting as hard as it should considering the internals that were installed but it was adequate for the day and the range was good. I could hit people 50 meters away and lay down suppressing fire at enemies up to 70 meters. The chrony wasn’t available so I couldn’t find out how hard the M14 was shooting which was a shame. 🙁 I also forgot the P90 at home so Maggie was stuck using the MP5K while Charlene went at things with the G36C.

There were a lot of fun games, from straight team elimination to traitor and attack and defend scenarios. For the most part, things were relatively dry but at the end the rain started to get pretty heavy. I took one big game out to take pictures and they can be found here. Lots of good action shots and as you can see the field of play was pretty large with lots of structures and woods to take cover in or with.

Here are a few other pictures showing a few various things…

No M14 review from me this time around, I don’t feel I got enough experience with the gun to say much about it. There’s a newbie style game in two weeks and I’ll report about how the M14 is then.

Sept 06/06 Edit: Alex (game host) has just posted the pictures that he took here. Heh you can see me in action (1 , 2 and 3) there although with the M14 I can hang around the back which is out of range of most people’s AEGs. Man I love the M14. 😀
