So we had a Scrimmage today, it was good, becuase, well... it was dangit. I ended up playing the majority of the day with my emag, breaking the oh-so-brittle GAP at least once every game. Anywho, on the day there are two complaints, one - 2 hours before we left the Mag decided it had enough of shooting in E mode and wouldn't shoot anymore. I found out later that the magnet had adjusted itself back far enough so that it wasn't letting the HES reset, easy fix with a little lock-tite. Two - the safety decided it'd be a misserable pain in the neck today and it got me shot out at least once.
The day started out great and was frustrating while playing since... well... we were playing against a Novice/Amature team with two Oakland Assasins rolling around. The end of the day was frustrating because of just not enough time between games (we played tons of games back to back) to get gear propperly cleaned up and ready to move again.
Equipment that's never been pushed as hard as it has today failed at inopportune times, guns jammed, chopped, blew chunks, you name it, it broke, the only thing that was still rolling at the end of the day was my mag running in Mech mode. My Ion proved to be a bit testy with one of the gas hoses springing a leak (I was reading on the hose that it's rated to a working pressure of 125psi and the Ion runs at 180, I found that kinda funny) and seriously cutting into the number of shots I could make on a fill. My Egg had a pod of paint with a break sloshed around in it, not to mention when I got shot by a guy on my own team (this is a novice tourney guy mind you) off the break which sent paint all over the inside of my egg. The Mag was, well to say the least a bit on the soupy side with paint all over the inside of it from the many breaks I had on the day (looks like I'll have to re-tune my LX). The Richochet that refused to work so it turned into a gravity hopper. And to cap it all off... We all got some praise from the guys we were playing against.
Now doesn't THAT just sound like a perfect day of hard play? :cheers:
Seriously, despite all that broke and went wrong with gear today, it was still a fabulous day on the field. Lots of good times were had and we're looking forward to being at KAPP next Sunday
So what's your big story from this weekend? :dance: :shooting: :ninja:
