What's your best airsoft experience?
 

I can't think of any off the top off my head, but maybe you can tell me a good story.

It could be funny, epic, exciting, or intense. I just want to read them.

Buying guns.

That sweet sense of anticipation when you check the tracking number every 5 minutes, followed by the fondling and fine tuning of your new toy for a few days before you look at your credit card invoice....

Chopper at Rhino, 'nuff said.

This one time a guy asked a really generalized question on an airsoft forum I frequent. It was a fun time.

This. So very this.

When I firebomb my pneumatic G&G with thermite I'll let you know.

WheltFest in Penticton 2011.:rolleyes:

Sex in the bushes.

ok i laughed.....HARD!

Drake, who was it with? Prettyboy I guess? I hope there was a mirror for him :D

No, I don't swing that way. It was a female :P

^^ uhh....

Sure as hell wasn't at Rhino when Bean choked me to death!

My first big milsim.

Being part of a 3 man team (Wildcard and Nierbee) vs 80 and wiping them all out, then to learn the rest of our guys were off comms, standing over the TAC BBQ in the parking lot.

Good times!

we were hungry!

first game ever playing vs zombies, puling a matrix move with a MP5 and a folded stock ak 74 u and getting 20+ kills then promptly slipping in the wet grass and falling on my ass

When I bankrupted .. oh wait..

+1 to this. I think I've given Canada Post a few million hits in the past 2 weeks.

The very first airsoft game in paintball city, August 12, 1989 there were 12 of us (SD Unit crew & a few others) there were some paintballers questioning the management at the time on how come a bunch of crazy Asians were allowed using real guns in there?, shooting at each other and the infamous "Holy shit is that shit real??" question begins.

- OPCT1 and OPCT2

- Getting my boot chewed by a fucking Beaver in OPCT1, Naked man on the field at OPCT2, watching the Quebec boys in awe at our field kitchen meal set up at OPCT2 (MRE vs T-Bone steak, sausages and watermelon)

- Airsoft introduction to the paintball world at Skyball in Skydome, riding on Wilson's meat truck is an experience that I will remember till the day I die.

- Poncho's rage on a new WA SW40 vs tree

- Lynch's venture to a "not so deep creek"

- 1 month prior game time organization by phone

- $60/bag of .25 KSC perfects bbs during the shortage

Heart attack hill.




Well ok I actually hated the hill part but all the games at Rigaud have been memorable. From the first shoot the hostage ( hey that was me) to the battery less ambush to the last cqb run in the village area with pistols. Man those where the good years. Airsoft has not been the same since then. I miss the salamders, bad karma ( lots to say when you miss your own team) the atf ottawa boys, sd-unit and poncho and crew. All fond memories.

Wat. Why didn't you just order your own from outside the country? Or was this back when airsoft shops online didn't really exist?

back then (we are talking pagers and motorola brick phones are the hot shit era) it's either us (SD Unit, HotShot) or AMC or Peter Kang for your airsoft needs and back then if we need it immediately we have to airship it from HK that cost shitloads of money, if not it's a slow boat from HK and by the time it clears custom it's 1 month from purchase, Randy and the rest of the gang came in the picture a couple of years later

*Edit* ASC was still wiggling in Tru's pants back when I started, shit I don't think Tru was even born yet.

Wow, so many memories.

One of my favorites was an average weekend scrim. We had a team visiting that was just starting out. Mostly the 18-19 year old mark. Anyways we gave them some of our grenades to use, as a show if good faith. The problem is the grenade fuse last like 8 seconds.

So one of the visitors was trying to grenade one of our members on the second story of this building, by heaving the the grenades through this large double loading door on the outside second story of the building. Problem is, the fuse was so long, our guy kept escaping the blast radius.

So our commander walks over to this guy and tells him he has to cook the grenade s bit before tossing it. He takes a grenade from this kid, lights it, cooks it, then throws it through the loading doors. Just as our guy peers out to see what's going on.

The grenade bounces of his nose, and BANG! Goes off right in his face. Buddy was stunned for the next couple hours. Could barely stand.


One of the best stories I've heard, happened at one of the Keystone events. A few guys had snuck up on a sniper nest, or guard tower kind of thing. It was dark out, and they could hear a few guys chatting up top. They decide to lob a grenade up there to deal with them. The grenade hits it's mark, and goes off. Nothing but silence. Buddies pissed, because he knows he got them, so he throws another one. When the grenade goes off, the guys up top cry "hit,hit, were hit!", and come down.

What had happened was the first grenade landed in a pot of ravioli the guards were cooking, except they didn't notice. When the grenade went off it scared the shit outta them, and covered them all with boiling sauce. So they all just sat there staring blankly at each other trying to figure out what the fuck happened, until the second grenade hit.

At ace of spades when McSolo went for the knife kill and i responded with 10+years of hand to hand combat training and killed him with is own knife.

My old teammate Gump during an ambush suddenly got up and start running like a man possesed screaming, swearing and dancing right in through the old flagraider marine base (first site), through the opfor defence, everyone was like WTF??? not knowing that he was afraid of snakes and a small harmless grass snake has crawled into his pant via a hole in the crotch (we were prone in the bushes waiting for Opfor) later on when he practically tore his pants to get the little snake out did we find out what causes the gump dance, we were all on the floor laughing our asses off at his expense.

Trumart

HAHAHA oh man that made me laugh!

i love this story man, this really makes my day.

We were playing a game in the winter with "some snow" still on the ground and 4 guys showed up in all white snowsuites... We were defending a castle and they got in.... Next thing we hear over the coms is "imperial troops have entered the base, imperial troops have entered the base" lol could not stop laughing....

That brings a lot of memories lol.

The first and second OP Quickpass @ Rawdon was very cool as well, with Vond and Throgg running the Argo lol.

One of those moments where you aim down your sites, knowing full well that the chances of you hitting your target are slim to none but you fire anyways and you hear that satisfying "Hit" they yell out.

PMC84x's 'drunk man stumble' on a patch of ice at Cooneys New years game at CQB.

It? .... <backs away>

One of the first zombie games at flag raiders, overnight, with the glowing blue tupperware containers and the epic "guns and ammo" shop. Best game of my life. Well, and that one with the helicopters.

That moment in your first or second game when you finally "get it", and you become a competent player. After that is when you start ejoying the game.

Oh my first game with my Masada when I turn a corner at CQB finding the whole enemy team in a alley way and kill the lead two before they get a chance and the rest of the team backs off the corner.

Best moment? I left my rifle at the spawn with a buddy, and ran across the field in the dark as soon as the game started. I had my 1911 in one hand, and a giant plastic crayon in the other. I got a melee kill with the crayon. Totally worth it.

So far? Drooling over all the items I'm saving up for, and watching youtube videos anticipating my first game. Oh and...getting geared up (with what I have) in my room and staring at myself in the mirror with various 'looking mean' poses

...

as if you've never done it. :p

my g/f laughs but I don't care. In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king! And she can't see shit without her contacts so, yeah...

Lol, some women love a men in uniform. Maybe you should complete the look. Might even get a few laughs if you call it your battle 'dress'.

Mercying someone who had no idea I was there. Also high on the list when I fired a single round just to check how my hop-up was doing it arched a bit behind an obstacle in the distance and the next thing I hear is "HIT". I couldn't have done that if I tried...lol

Shooting a single shot with my pistol. It was up close and the guy said "I don't think you hit me but the next one will, right?" He called himself out and I checked the pistol mag...I forgot to put bb's in it before the game!

lol.

I have no BDU set yet :( Need one, but for now I just have some old woodland pants, a whatever shirt and a boonie cap. Still undecided as to what I want. Tiger is what I like and gives me freedom to play vietnam milsims, but I like the cadpat stuff too, and basic woodland. Ideally I'd have a few sets but Im still recovering from the rifle so I'm trying to prioritize in order to get playing quick.

At some point I'll also need to pay a visit to Value Village and buy myself a 10$ pin-stripe suit, hehe. Maybe grab a Fedora to go with it. :P ...could get expensive though because a Tommy Gun would fit nice.

love the stories. That one about the grenade landing in the ravioli was hilarious.

Ummm that could possibly have been me! LOL I remember playing on night many years ago before I had an inkling of airsoft and walking off the field and I was like derrrrrrr! True story :) we came up from St. Catharines because at the time it was the best indoor place to play! So weirddd.....

Well, c3sk's first zombie game at FR. But yeah, that "Guns and Ammo" shop was HILARIOUS. At Brian's zombie games, he always wanted people to try and kill others to get their weapons and ammo and stuff, it would be really funny, but most people were too polite or outgunned to actually do it. I know that at the one at FTF, my small team and I actually waited in ambush for a couple of teams, but they never actually crossed into our killzone.

At the one at FR, one guy got his weapon in the blue tupperware, and proudly brought it across. People practically clapped him in, all jealous he'd found his weapon. Then Brian casually walks up to him, stabs him, and takes the weapon, gets his gun. After that, you had to smuggle that shit in under your shirt, because there was no way that anyone was not going to stab you for it.

I got involved in one stab-fest, where my teammate shanked someone for his tupperware, then she got shanked, then I shanked the guy who stabbed her, etc etc. I got stabbed and revived TWICE before I was finally able to wrestle the tupperware out of someone's dead hands and get myself a weapon through the pile of bodies at the front door of the weapon shop. You had to have someone's hand on your shoulder for 30 seconds for a non-zombie bite to come back to life, and we were no more than 20ft from the "Guns and Ammo" store. After it was all finally resolved, the zombies figured out where there were some easy targets and broke up the aftermath of the fight.
