Guys,
Frank has asked me what to expect from the 86th at Blind Fury 3. I hope to be able to tell him that we will be there IN FORCE and kicking ass. It is June 24th and 25th at Springfield which gives everyone more than enough time to prep and take days off of school/work so NO excuses!!! Lets show them what we got by being there. Email me ASAP to tell me you will be there. MTPhython@aol.com As of right now; I know Adam, Huey, England, and I are going and we would like to have some more help. Thanx,
P.S. here is the link to register : http://airsoftevents.com/events/event_signup.php?event_num=57

» Recap of OP: 201 in Springfield [01-15-06 @ 16:58]
|

Well, it certainly turned out to be a great event even with threats of bad weather and equipment problems. Brian, Enlgand, and I showed up about 8am at the field and it was 29 degrees with 20 knots of wind and we were the first ones there. That concerened us a little but the strikers and about 20 some others finally showed. As for equipment probelms, Huey´s brand new 249 had issues from the start and frank ended up letting him use his m4. I opend my back up sr-16 to put a new hop up in and discovered the gear box was cracked in half! England´s brand new G&G m16a3 stripped its bevel gear a while back and we still have not been able to replace it.
However, we still kicked ass. Brian found himself right in the middle of endless firefights and dishing it out 86th style. England got the gold star for the day for playing all day only with his sigma and killing enough people for them to be asking what kind of pistol he has and is it shooting 500fps.... also for a sniper pistol shot he got 1/2 way through the 2nd senario...very bad ass. Huey seemed to enjoy shedding his medic role and getting into the thick of it too. I of course had fun terrorizing people with my SJR ( sex junkie reborn ) and low crawling through the mud with bb´s flying over my head. Plus the weather warmed up a bit and the sun came out later in the day. Nice job by frank of running and organizing the event, it turned out to be alot of fun. Thanks to those that showed up.
also, let me know if anyone is interested in this.....looks like fun to me, check it out at http://www.airsoftcleveland.com/safaristrike.htm

Although rare, it looks like an airsoft event in January! The 14th at Springfield. England and I are going so far from up north here, with maybe Brian K. and a newbe too. Cant wait to play along side our advanced medic huey again, he has saved me countless times before. If anyone is interested hit up airsoftevents.com and register!! |

Thanks to all that showed up to play, I thought it was alot of fun. Nice to see Alex again and doing so well ( 25+ kills ). Also, England didn´t hesitate to fit right in with us in combat and performed very well for his first event. We also learned a few things: Always charge all avaible batteries that you own, cold weather really kills battery life, and we suspect is hard on those plastic hop ups. I had some fun dodging Frank´s sniper rounds and putting my new gun to the test with adam´s 12volt battery....=:-)....I want one now, if you think a 9.6 is fast....just imagine my old sex junkie r.o.f. only now shooting 420+fps....scary.

» Finally... RSS! [10-05-05 @ 21:23]
|
| |
Not like everyone wanted it, but i´ve got the news flowing through an RSS feed now ;)
Some updates, JB and Roy are back from their vacations in iraq (mmm 130 degrees). We´re still going to be doing some work on the CQB place, and its a posibility that the facility will indeed be ran by an airsoft retailer (there would be staff / retail site, etc) so thats kinda exciting. Anywho, in the mean time we´ll need to do some work on the field and finalize that list for the SWAT training. Hopefully after we get pics of the bus and the completed facility, we´ll get the stuff up on arnies. |
| - Al |
|
» Update on the CQB Place [09-24-05 @ 11:43]
|
| |
So far we have a good idea of the floorplan we´re going for at the shoot
house (cqb place in kettering). We (Jebus, Huey, and myself) picked up 100
(well 96 actually, dont ask) 2x4´s and framed the perimiter of the house.
I´ll get some more pics of that up soon. Now that we have the structure
standing, we´ll have to go snap some lines down and bolt the wall sections into
the concrete after we square it all up.
A new game should be coming
around shortly, i´m guessing mid october. Also the swat
training is coming up soon, please help get the word out for
that as it will help people a ton and prepare them for the exhibition style
games we´ll be having this winter.
On that note, we´re discussing doing a
joint event, hosting CM III here. I think our goals and the location
should be very condusive of such an event so its quite likely to go through
without a problem. It would likely be a 2 day event with raffle and
prizes.
For those of you who dont know, there is a new addition to the
shoot house coming soon, Jeff will be moving a full size
"functional" school bus (only thing wrong with it is lack of
transmission). So, any scenarios you can think of involving a schoolbus,
please feel free to post them in the forum :)
Last note, we´re also
looking for team banners to hang along the scaffolding. I feel that it
will give a profesional feel to the place, and at least spruce up the otherwise
industrial look. The fake storefronts will need signs from combatdepot,
airsoft arms, etc, however it looks like we are already covered as far those
go.
Heres the floorplan we´re looking at, for future reference. The
measurements of the workout area, bay doors, and the initial house are exact,
the outer perimiter of the second building (office / school) is exact, however
the placement is a somewhat rough guestimate, and the fake storefronts havent
been constructed yet. Any comments are welcome oh and yes, we will
probably be slimming the hallway of the second building, its pretty huge as of
now.

Ok I´m hosting a game on saturday the 27th. Anyone that wants to help organize, play as opfor, or watch, give me a call I currently need people to help film, I need ANY AV equipment you have, the more the better. Also I need radios, and some other stuff, just give me a call if you want to help in any way. Pretty soon we´ll be doing this regularly and will need some regular volunteers. Game details are here followed by the thread on ao.
For those of you who dont know, we extended an invitation to Huey to join the 86th since he´s played with us before and been a great player as well as an overal nice guy to have around. His info is on the profile page, which btw has been updated QUITE a bit. So go check out Hueys profile and if you want to get your profile up to date, let me know so i can set you up with the login to the admin page. |

We need a head count for people going to operation revolution, frank tells me this is the prequel to the next big game, the sequel to blind fury 2, so consider this blind fury 1.5. Now I know you guys havent been to the field since the immense work done to it so i suggest we all take this opportunity to play at an awesome field. Not only an awesome field but an expertly mapped field, a local field, and with great props for ONLY $15. Franks personally asked that we attend and lately our team appearances havent been what they used to be (i´m not pointing fingers here ;) everyone gets busy now and then). So what I need is a yay or nay for everyone showing up, so far we have me in, aim me or email me. BTW, there will be alot of people there for those who wondered.

Hey guys, we´ve been discussing at length some of the new things we´d like to see done over the winter and come into play for the new season of ´05, specifically team standards. I´ll get a forum installed here soon to discuss this and other issues but everyone seems to be onboard so far, Matt (or someone else) will be getting an approved list online, expect to see things like:
- new BDU (probably going to be a flight suit),
- knee / elbow pads,
- helmet (protec classic painted OD),
- standard radio (more info about this soon, dont freak out)
- standard boom mic
- boots (black boots, whatever type / make is your decision)
Some other things we are thinking about is making it a requirement for everyone to have at least one AR15 variant AEG for mag sharing purposes (we´ll also be taping our mags w/ colors to specify bb weight). So far the only people that dont have AR15 variants are Juan and Joey (I think) we´ll work something out.
Also me and josh got engaged!!!.... no not to eachother, and yes we got engaged to women ... sickos |

Everyone, this is important. We need to get a FIRM list of who is DEFINETLY going to EAG: Mayday on May 1st (for work scheduling purposes, request April 30th through May 2nd off, for travel and game times). Roy and I would like to have a warm up game on Friday at 10:00AM, to get everyone ready. From there we will jump right into the cars and head to directly to PA to register and get settled in to the hotel. Matt, a contact roster would be a big help here, if you could scrounge one together for me. Alex, I will get in touch with you soon with details. Anyone else, if you are interested, please send me an e-mail at JBWALT420@aol.com and I can send you more info. We have approximately 30 days to get our registration fees in, or else anyone who has not paid will lose thier spot to someone whos got the cash. REMEMBER: The registration deadline is 2 weeks PRIOR to the game date, not the day of. So, that being said, hurry up, get the time off work, and get your money sent in to Graham as soon as you can (before April 16th, which is the deadline, no exceptions). Any questions, contact myself, roy, or matt. Thanks guys.

Ok guys, listen up. EAG is holding another kick ass combat simulation event this year. The best part? The registration is only 25 bucks, and we can bring our own ammo this time around. The fee includes the 8 hour Simulation on Saturday, open play that night, and all day play on Sunday, as late as we want (plus a raffle ticket and all that good stuff). Myself and Roy have already registered, I suggest you do the same. The event will be held three different times this year, one in May, July, and September. Go to EAGHQ.com for more info and to register. For only 25 bucks plus ammo costs and the hotel, this is hard to pass up... |

» Finally.....an Update! [09-11-03 @ 23:14]
|

Wow, its been quite a while since anyone has posted news, info, updates, etc. on our site, and even though work has kept me somewhat out of the loop on the airsoft scene, I thought it might be a good idea to write SOMTHING. So, as far as fresh products are concerned, I happened to run across some very nice looking metal bodies for the M16 series from G&G Armament.
They are supposedly very lightweight but strong, thanks to what *appears* to be a magnesium casing. Also, here is one feature that I thought was very cool: the special ¨reciever action package¨ comes with a new forward assist button, bolt, and metal hop-up unit. What does this mean for us? A metal body with a TRUE functional dust cover and bolt. This is somthing we have needed for a long time, as the other metal bodies either dont have the mechanism to flip the dust cover open, or eliminate the mock bolt altogether (which looks rather ugly when the bolt cover is open and also allows dirt to directly enter the gearbox area....obviously, that is bad).
Check them out over at WGC. There are six different types to choose from, and they are only $10 more than the popoular HurricanE metal bodies. I think these could be a very good investment, but as always with a new product, let some other people be the experimental guinea pigs before you buy one ^_^ |

Hola 86th,
Its been a week since Ive been back from Field Training down at Tyndall AFB and I can say it feels good to be back!!
While our website is not showing much activity at the moment, there is still alot going on. Allen has been very busy lately, but will eventually finish the website. We are planning on archiving all this crap below and also setting up the member profiles section to be edited by 86th members and not by us.
Also, head over to www.AirsoftEvents.com and sign up there so you can register for various airsoft events. Its good to see a place we can register again.

Great job for those of you who attended FB2 Re-Run!! We did awesome as a squad and I commend you for that. Thanks to Chris and JB for staying up afterwards too.
There is a thread on Airsoftohio.com about the event. For those of you who went, please click here to leave some feedback and see what others have said about it.
I will be posting all TEN pics, yes thats right, TEN pics, that I managed to take in combat. Theres only a few decent pics, but hey, its an update.
Also, there has been a reoccuring problem lately with the solderless connectors that attach to the motor in the M16 series of our guns coming loose. To save myself the time to have to fix everyones M16 series, I am going to post a simple tutorial on how to ammend the problem since it requires minimal technical ability and only about 5 to 10 minutes of work time, if even that.
Allen has been backed up with this sites updates because of the new COMBAT DEPOT website he has been working on for Francois Crepeaus new business. The site looks great Allen and good luck Francois!!
