Journal shadowspark's Journal: Operation Painball Complete 6
My foray into the airsoft world at XTreme Tactics has proven successful. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and I may participate again.
To my delight I was able to use my paintball mask (JT Flex Crossfire) to the event, but I am worried that the repeat use of my mask may prove expensive in the lens-replacement area. I went with the Mp5 package which actually held less ammo than the M16, but being a submachine gun was easier to grip and hold. I think if possible, I am going to rent a handgun as the place was mostly close counter/urban environment and shooting a rifle was harder around corners and such.
We were outfitted with a vest (curiously with an open face chest area), mask (which I did not use due to my JT X-fire), holster and helmet. My team was tan coloured, and the other was blue. The briefing, expertly and humourously handled by one of the owners Gordon (sp) was one of the better briefings I have had to experience. quotes: "We give you 4 mags. We expect 4 mags back. If you don't come back with 4 mags, we shoot you in the neck. Then we get you to look for it. Then we shoot you in the neck again."All this time, most of us had our eyes fixated at the long sniper rifle that he had told us shot at double (probably an exaggeration) the FPS of our guns.
Thank you kormoc for the links, and someone was actually using a P90 (he said he spent like $800 or something). The store owners (only in operation for less than 5 months) already have the GC32 or something or another which looks like a the newer army issue stuff.

I wore my camo set w/ loose cotton clothing underneath with sweats and volleyball kneepads (underneath the sweat pants). I also wore my skimask/neckguard to cover my neck area and cushion and neck shots. Most of the bb's bounced off. I've been hit by paintballs tons of times and my gear has been
