My cousin Douglas and I were suppose to play an airsoft game on Saturday however it was cancelled (without notice) due to the threat of rain and thunderstorms. It didn’t rain and the weather was beautiful on Saturday but enough about that. 😉

We were lucky and another game was being held on Sunday so we went to FlagRaiders for quick and dirty skirmish. I let him use the G36C and holster the Glock 18C as his side arm while I stuck with the M14 and Hi Capa. Initially I wanted to play an assault style role with Doug, however I was stuck playing sniper due to the range and accuracy of the M14. Heh when your teammates require long range accuracy to pin down enemies, you can’t refuse. 😉

Douglas played pretty well, he was obviously green but still got a decent number of kills. Boy he goes through BBs quickly but it’s easier for newbs to spray and pray. Myself I played rather poorly but much of that had to due with the M14 consistently jamming up on me. I’m not sure what the issue is with the gun but I’ll have to strip it down and do a thorough inspection. At home it fires beautifully but for most of the game I was plagued with feeding and misfiring. It got so bad that near the end it was only firing every third shot. 🙁

At the end we played a pistols match and that was a lot of fun. 🙂 Douglas seemed to have a good time with the Glock 18C although he’s not aggressive enough for a pistols match. I absolutely love the TM Hi Capa 5.1, it was easily the best pistol on the field! 😀

It was nice to see all the newbies playing their first game, however I think a few people were too pumped up on adrenaline. I noticed that many players were not calling shots and it was very frustrating at times. For instance during the pistols match, I was within 10 meters of a person and hit his feet (he was hiding behind the bus but his feet and legs were exposed) about 5 times. I was close enough to see the BB ricochet off the boot, yet he didn’t call himself out. I was talking to DragonHawk about it after and while it’s possible that you don’t feel shots to the boot, you’ll definitely hear them and it’s a distinct sound.

I follow the rule when in doubt call yourself out! It’s just easier and doesn’t piss other people off…

I still had a good time even though my M14 was not functioning properly. Hopefully I’ll be able to fix whatever is wrong so I can kick more ass next time around. Douglas had a good time and I think I’ve hooked him onto airsoft, haha his mom will hate me. 😉

Oh I didn’t take any pictures, it was raining most of the day and didn’t want to damage my camera. Others did take pictures and when they’re posted online, I’ll provide a link. 🙂
