Sunday Gaming

This past Sunday, I attended another airsoft gaming session at Ultimate Airsoft.  This time, the game was arranged by a teammate who booked some time for his private group.  He wanted to bring his co-workers and show them how she spends his free time and a few of us tagged along for fun.  The disheveled looking guy pictured beside me is Shawn, who is more comfortable sitting on a chair rather than the great outdoors, despite his saying the opposite.

King Arms M1A1 Thompson

Thanks the Stephen who likes to have other people spend their money, he informed me of a sale at Tier One Tactical for the King Arms Thompson.  At $160, this is the cheapest AEG i have ever bought.  The KA version of this gun is highly rated by those who use it so I jumped at the chance.  I was hoping that if I bought this, Stephen would too and I would have someone to go into WWII airsoft with.  Sadly, he didn't and left me disappointed.  But at least with the Thompson and a 1911, I now have all the weapons for the WWII scene.

Y'know what I think?

Don't really matter what I think. Once that first bullet goes past your head, politics and all that shit just goes right out the window.

That was a quote from a Delta operative from the movie Blackhawk Down.  Pictured above is my half assed attempt at looking like one of the Delta guys in the movie.  Half assed because most of my gear is modern, as I do not have anything from the early '90s to make the proper impression.  Regardless, it was something that I always wanted to do, and after several years, I was finally able to do it.  I think I will run this more as it is actually quite comfortable.

Oakley Juliet

So I am a bit of an Oakley whore.  Meaning I do like many things made by Oakley.  I own three pairs of boots, gloves, clothing, and even my glasses are made by them.  The one thing that I always wanted but had never bought was the Juliet sunglasses.  It was several years ago when I went to see Blackhawk Down and I noticed that Eric Bana wore an awsome pair of shades.  After some research, I found out the name and I have wanted one ever since.

Space Sherriff Gavan: The Movie

My inner eight year old just crapped my pants when I saw the trailer for this movie.  As a kid, I loved Gavan a little too much.  Many kids have sport figures as their childhood heroes.  Mine were Japanese men who transformed to cyborgs.

Gavan's TV series was the first time I ever saw a light saber, though his was called a light sword.  And his space ship is actually very similar to the Enterprise, complete with a saucer section and a lower section that could separate.  Except the lower section could transform into a giant mechanical fire breathing dragon. 

It is also fitting that the suit inspiration for RoboCop is coming out first.  The RoboCop remake started shooting in Toronto last week as well.

Damn I am excited.  The movie comes out on October 20th in Japan.  It will be some time before we will get a good quality rip and a decent subtitle for this.  It cannot come soon enough.

TM Glock 17

It has been almost two weeks since I received my PGC metal slide kit for the TM Glock 17.  I installed it right away and it is a perfect fit.  It required no sanding or fitting of any kind.  Upon using it for the first few mags, I noticed the slide would stick half way through its cycle, but with use and some silicone oil, the problem seem to have disappeared.  The pistol now cycles until the mag is empty. 

I can now proceed with the purchase of some extra mags and a Blackhawk Serpa holster.  The Serpa is my preferred holster but a stock plastic slide of the TM pistol will not fit in it due to a slight difference in the slide dimensions.  The PGC slide is slimmer and is able to fit.

The standard issue of Toronto Police, the G17 is also used on the TV show Flashpoint by the SRU officers.  This is the main reason for why I acquired the pistol to begin with.

Operation Rush Hour 2

Today, I attended a milsim game ran by Renegade.  I was a little less than enthusiastic about attending the game, seeing as I am still suffering from a cold and I was pretty tired from attending a game at Ultimate Airsoft the night before.
