History Channel tonight!

he didn't take the mask off in the middle of a firefight, that was a staged shot. still, I didn't like it too much that he took the mask off.

At least the guy who lent him the angel (noted the double bottom tubes on the gun) told him about the mask. Of course he didn't go over protection much, since the focus of it was the 'civilian' side to pball.

The game was small woods capture the flag: old school speedball.


Saw a cocker, an angel, an impy (I think) at AT LEAST a mag classic and what I THINK was an RT pro. Couldn't tell.

Overall, good presentation of pball from the time they spent on it.

Everyone email history channel to make a show about the history of paintball right now!!!

well it was not really based on paintball it was based on how the miltary uses our money

[tony3]

lol "powered by nitrus or co2"

[The Deacon]

I loved that whole top of the line spiel. Old angel with "nitrous", a dorky drop and a rico AK? Top of the line 2 years ago maybe...

I liked watching the airsoft nerds more.

"The LZ is hot!" What a dork.

And I don't see how airsoft is more realistic when your gun sounds like an RC car...

"hey look it broke on co2"...Host
"Well i never said it would run for long"...Stupid guy who thinks he is cool

and the bbs on go like 30 yards

[TheDuelist]

Watch a few war movies relating to recent history and you'll hear "Hot LZ" more tan a few times. Th airsoft guys were simulating "real" combat scenarios which includes using the proper lingo. That doesn't make them dorks.

ok well, the lcd is still a top o the line gun, so dont be hating too much on it. Its just as good as the eclipse impy....


any ways, did it have an endo drop from jam enterprises? or a FMB drop?

[Sir_Brass]

actually, airsoft bb's fly at over 300 fps usually. airsoft sniper rifles go even farther and some go between 400 and 600 fps. They hurt like a pball hurts. AND they DO have increased range due to the fact that a 6mm .25gram bb is going to have an easier time flying through the air than a .68 caliber 3g paintball.

[The Deacon]

They're not any more accurate though. I played a CQB game this last weekend to try it out, and the darned guns they gave me wouldn't shoot straight. Either that, or they don't sting enough to get people to take the hit...

They don't hurt near as bad as a paintball. I barely felt 'em. Then you get these guys that suit up like real swat officers that don't feel the hits unless you point blank 'em... It's just miserable.

And ok, if the lingo doesn't make you a dork, acting like you're in a war movie while flinging plastic at other 40 year olds sure does...

[Sir_Brass]

you must've been given a crummy condition gun, then. I know some milsim pballers that also play airsoft and had a blast.

your gun that was given to you probably had weak springs or something.

[The Deacon]

Well the EBB pistol I used earlier I knew only chronoed at 175, so I know those weren't doing crap, but another guy's pump shotgun (which we chronoed at 300 fps) still wasn't getting most people to take the hits.

It felt a lot more unsafe than paintball, too. Whenever they'd call game over, everyone just threw off their goggles instead of wearing them until they were off the field. The fact that no one used barrel plugs made me even more nervous. The rule of the day was no full auto, but I knew of at least 3 teams that were using it anyway.

I dunno, if this was outlaw airsoft I wouldn't be so concerned. This was an event regulated by an airsoft company, however.

I was lucky, I jumped in just before the paintball segment started. I was screaming when he took his mask off though. Even if it was staged, he shouldn't have given viewers the idea that it was ok to do.

Hey, if you replace plastic with paint it applies to the world of scenario game paintball! Imagine that!
