Hey Guys,
Here are a few shots of how I spent my long weekend. This is in Rawdon Quebec in a very large sand pit/quarry. This is airsoft at its best. For anyone not familiar with airsoft its a Mil Sim game that uses Replica firearms that shoot .20/.25 Gram plastic bb's at about 400 FPS. ITs alot of fun and the guys are great as well. The bb's can sting like F&$#@ but its all good clean fun. Im the one without headgear...big mistake on my part that day..I got a nasty sunburn LOL My Rifle is an upgraded SR 16 with an Elcan site.
Here are a few pics

Sounds like fun! We kind of have a game like that down here in Indy; it's called "How far does Matthew have to be away before we can no longer hit him with our BB gun?" and I agree; it stings! Thanks for your time.

Hey Guys,
Its alot of fun but alot of safety regulations have to be observed and are strictly enforced. If anyone abuses the saftey regs they are tossed out without a second chance. The sport is in a grey area within the law so the promoters etc do not tolerate any funny business.

Andy,
We had a player at this event up from Australia as Airsoft is illegal in Australia im afraid. He works for a gear manufacturer and he brought up a lot of goodies for us to try out. Great guy,, too bad you guys cant play there but your gun laws are even more strict than here in Canada.
MEBM,
Carefull now you dont want to loose an eye or a tooth or something more valuable, remember they are not toys.
Silantra,
Those mini AEG's are cute but just not the same, I understand why you gave em up.

That was great ......crazy, but great. I've never heard of this, do we have this in B.C.? or are we afraid of endangering something?
Those rounds look like they really hurt, judging by the one guys
expressions and was that a sniper weapon one guy had...crazy

Nice film, interesting, certainly not something for old geezers like myself to do though. A spin around the geriatric ward is about as much excitment I can handle.
Oh really nice country there.
Wear your goggles Bryan.
