Bunker and abandoned chemical plant

Today I went with some friends to Tomaszów Mazowiecki, a town about 100 km (60 mi.) from Warsaw. Near the town during the II World War were built two large bunkers, each more than 300 m (1000 ft) long. They were built for trains with generals and their staff, who went to the nearby Spała for vacation, hunting and stuff.

But when we went there we saw some abandoned factory or CHP plant and decided that we have to see it from the inside. We were going to see both bunkers but checked only one of them and went to what was said to be a chemical plant.

This was my first opportunity to go inside the smoke-stack. The view from the bottom of it to the top is one of a kind...

G36 @ home

Yesterday a courier brought me mine G36, which I bought on Allegro -- the polish response to EBay. It costed me less than $400 and I am very glad that I bought it -- it came with bipod (front grip with bipod), one high capacity magazine, two 8,4V 600mAh batteries and a charger.

I was a bit worried since the package was sent as priority and priorities are said to be delivered the next day after sending. And I had to wait 6 long days. In current circumstances I'd prefer it to be lost on the way here and to get the money back instead of the replica -- I want T3 more than G36. :)

The gun works well (I tested it today) and I am sure that I'll be glad that I have it. But T3 is now $400 more distant.

This photo was taken few months later than the date of this post, but I put it here to show how the replica looked when I got my hands on it.

me and my new gear


This photo was taken on saturday, just at the end of our game. You can see here how the MP5K PDW with folded stock fits under my ALICE. If I think of a way of securing it there (to prevent from moving), I might carry it there all the time, while using another gun, i.e. M15. :)

As you can see I am dressed in a flecktarn parka and polish WZ50 helmet.

MP5K PDW tested today

The test went well. The replica shoots at similar distance as other guns, so I'm not disappointed. It fits nicely under my ALICE belt and left suspender. I fired about 200-400 BBs, the battery didn't make any troubles. The folding stock looks and works very nice, but when it's folded it's a bit difficult to handle the front grip. Especially in warm winter gloves... :)

The gun is short enough to hold it like a pistol, with one hand. It's to heavy to do it all the time, but I don't think I'll have to do this more frequent than once every quarter. ;)
