The Lair of The Dark Knight

zOMG. That was the best airsoft game I went to in forever. It was great to see spunkyrakune, burned_leather (Seth), zawolf, pliskin, g4t0rf0x, foxdie and numwolf. It was a shame that murries couldn't come though; he was moving house.

There were close to 300 players at Proteus on Sunday so the organisers
decided to hold a day-long game. Unfortunately there was a helluva lot of
cow-pats around; queue lots of jokes and radio messages regarding shit, and very smelly boots.

Anyway The objective of the game was "Capture the Flag". We were split into
three teams of equal numbers and had to score as many points as possible by
raising any of five flags. Each flag had it's own secret points value and
once it had been raised would be lowered again by a marshal for the next
score. The twist was that a team could not recapture a flag until the enemy
had captured it from them. The team with the most points at the end of the day would win.

Hellsing, along with other "Coalition" members (Rag-Tags, New Republic Special Forces, etc) were on Blue Team. At the end of the day, despite feeling that we'd slipped in the afternoon, Blue Team won by over 150 points compared to the 2nd place team. :D

I can't remember everything but here's a general run down of the most memorable events.

- When I was running up our second flag (Flag 1) I caned the ring finger of my left hand. It bled a bit and has a slight bruise now.

- I was transferring some BBs from one of my mags to Pliskin's speedloader (he only has one mag for his sniper rifle) and one of the red team took the flag we were guarding. We let him take the flag and then peppered him; fastest flag capture, methinks. ;)

- About 10 of us were moving up between some buildings and we saw one of the red team looking in the opposite direction about 20ft away from us. We waited to see if he would notice us for a moment then Foxdie shouted "Hey, what colour are you?" The guy looked at us for about five seconds, which gave us time to see his red arm band, and then tried to scramble away. We peppered him. ;)

- Five of us were clearing a room and one of the red team had hidden around the corner into a corridor. NinjaChicken threw a grenade around the corner just as the red guy was coming towards us, the grenade hitting the poor guy in the crotch before exploding under his feet.

- Pliskin had possibly too much fun playing Sniper with his new spring L96A1, getting 8 "kills" in about 10 minutes.

That's all I can remember right now. I'll update this if I can think of anymore. XD

I'm seriously considering taking up the support role within Hellsing Org, and for it I would get this: Star M249 Mk-46 SPW.

The price is right, it's a dedicated support weapon, and it's easy to upgrade. Reviews of it look good too. And it has rails. >:)

Oh yeah. ;)

And no, the red and white shemagh wasn't part of the uniform, it was used to discern who was on which team (one team had them and the other team didn't).

After a load of faffing about I finally got my grenade laucher to work. Damn that thing is awesome! :D

Here we go, my Tokyo Mauri M4 S System with an ICS M203 grenade launcher.

Sorry for the shitty picture quality.

I'm looking forward to using it on the 5th August at Proteus. :3

Hey Spunky, are we still on for Sunday?

Just wanting to make sure with all this crap weather coming.

Yeah, I was bricking it during the interview.

I guess it went OK. There were good points and bad points raised (which I won't go into here). The role now looks to be a lot more demanding than I anticipated, but I don't care. I'm 100% focused to getting that job.

I'll find out next Friday at the latest. There are still some more applicants to interview.

So if I seem distant for the next week then you'll know why.

Anyway, this Sunday is full of charity stuff and next Sunday is full of airsoft. Pretty much win the next two weekends. :)

The boiler suit arrived yesterday, however it's a little darker than I was expecting; it's needs to be more cobalt blue than navy blue.

Any ideas/tips on how I can go about making it fade a little? I've thought about washing it a few times but I'm not sure if that will work.

Once that's done all I need to do is sew on the shoulder patches and it's done! :D

Unfortunately the Mil-Force Utility Pouch I ordered from Zero One Airsoft doesn't have a leg strap. Fair play it's only there for VisRep (visual representation) but I'd still prefer for it to look right.

To fix this I'm going to butcher a spare shoulder strap that I have lying around and attach a plastic buckle to each end, then I'll attach it to the pouch. The strap will wrap around my leg and keep the pouch in place and prevent it from flopping about in a rather silly fashion.

Once my LAPD SWAT uniform is ready I'll get some pictures taken for all you folks who are interested. Thankfully my ugly mug will be hidden behind a balaclava too. :P

EDIT: Oh yeah, new icon.

Woo! My new SWAT patches arrived today. :D



Now all I need is my navy blue boiler suit to finish off the uniform. :)
