NO RT Gunfights for I please.....
In NO way a substitute for the real thing BUT worthless? Nah....Some fun i had a few months back:
"OH MAN had the best time I have had in yrs! AMAZING bunch of guys (For the most part better batch than MY steady crew) AT one point I lost a perscription sports lens out in the field and had to stop....thought they'd be pissed? BUT when what turned out to be about 30 guys (25 of which i just met) Each teams leader yelled SEARCH PARTY NOW FALL IN NOW!!! all fell into a straight line and in about 10 minutes walked off a section of the field I was lying low in and FOUND it, and THEY truly were so happy to have done so ....Down side was my conditioning which became apparent about 1/2 through the day (mental note stick to playing against OTHER Bankers NOT actual SWAT) Anyhow wound up with heat exhaustion that night and today is the first day i can walk stairs w/o crying like a little girl...Had everything from 2 story barns, Lofts, Tree stands, Humvee's, Hollow'ed out Helicopter (Which was great for "Save the Pres." drills...where one team has to escort "The President" from this vacant building across a field to the helicopter) broad range of weapons from Long range Sniper Springers for the tree lines, machine guns in full auto for striffing runs...EVEN a BAZOOKA YUP....ran on propane and showered like hail (BUT only 1 time and you were exposed doing so, I felt it was worthless being we were at distance and with wind 40-50yds. was
max. accurate range. All on about 15+ acres, Played from about 9AM to 8PM & My blind old ass rocked IMO (and IM USUALLY the humble type Shot just as many, as shot I...and with guys that do it all week long for real (*TRUTH is, its EZ to have a cool head and set of Balls when JUST playing Airsoft, heck we would just run thru the Barn full sprint and pepper the guys up in the lofts, NO doubt if those were .223's I would have been alittle less apt to STAND UPright period much less expose!) I give credit to the whole crew. SO much advil and happy memories later Im back at the ranch. Some useful observations:
Tree Stands/Lofts : Great to get a clear veiw of what coming, and superior tactical angle shooting down, I noticed the same when snipeing from the lofts or stair cases. BUT w/o MUCH support fire YOUR [] when the find you. OUCH .
Structures: Weither it be barn or building. WHEN postioned INSIDE OF...During the day YOU see everything coming, and they see nothing until its to late...AT night...YOU see nothing and stand out like candles in the window OUCH again .
Reloading: DON'T wait till your empty to do it...
Doorways: this one I already KNEW...stay [] out of them or move through QUICK as not to be outlined for EZ fire...IT'S the truth trust me, Some marion Cty SWAT members learned to practice what they preached, while I tucked behind a 50 Gallon drum and cut em down
PAYLOAD: IT pays to travel light, ditch the Pistol/Holster (Heck my transition was to darn slow under fire anyhow!) and go long arm and ammo, IF real Time I'd do diff!!!! BUT for airsoft I started WAY overloaded and my movement improved substanialy when I lightened my load) OR improve your conditioning! Controlled 2-3 RD burts, just as effective as full auto. lastly FOOTWEAR, ankle support and lightweight, when taking cover WATCH your exposed angles (NOT just YOUR own presented angle of fire) and dont get outflanked, working as a team w/ support fire avoided this...Again most of the above is just another day at the office for many BUT hope some of it helps
Again great buch of guys, it was all about honor, NOONE questioned weither they were hit or not, NO one punished in excess ...all they were concerned with was making each part of the machine run alittle smoothier each time out. Real class acts. AND best part....they meet once every 6-8 wks. and invited me BACCCK as a Perm. ....NOW get out and play MORE, it will show you just how darn OUT of Cardio shape you really are "
