Old Shamo movie

This is an old Shamo movie, made couple years ago. If I got my database right, it was shot on september 14th, 2004. It was shot by Ziutek and later cut into pieces and put together by Mamut.

At that time I still had my first AEG replica - the MP5 SD3 and wore my BDU in urban camo. This way I am easily recognized in the video.

Few words about what you can see in the movie. It was shot in the Halinka.
The second scene (running) starts at one end of the Columns place. After that you see a group of people running, this was taken from inside the two story "office" building inside. You can see how vast is the building, stock replicas couldn't hit those people. One of the following scenes show the "office" as seen from above (the red brick building with no glass in windows with yellow metal pylons next to its wall), from the room that was placed highest in the building.
You can see me climbing on the pylon to get to the first floor. To be honest that was the first time I climbed, I was too afraid that if I got shot I'd be scared and do something stupid like letting go and falling down. Later, after the movie was made, I tried it once or twice. But I wasn't the bravest one -- one of the girls that played with us for some time climbed once to the second floor. :)

And that's about it. The rest of the movie is very dark, because the camera was cheap and there was not much light at the time we made the movie. :)



Comments welcome! :)

Second Shamo ASG video advertisement

This video was made by Wotan (as usual) on january 9th 2005, in the middle of polish winter though you won't see a bit of snow here. This shows what we were equipped with at that moment. Indianin had G3 SAS, Squarek - MP5 A5, Mamut - MP5 A3, I had MP5 SD3, Majki carried SR16 previously owned by Wotan, Wrubel had some M15A4 carbine.

You can see me in the movie during two brief moments. The first time I am visible is after the smoke attack on the bridge, around 50th second of the movie, carrying the MP5 and with helmet on my head. The second time is when I fall towards the flaming smoke grenade (1:59).

Now two photographs taken at that day.

Wotan and his SR16 Knights

Photo taken on september 9th 2004 in Tomice, the place that held airsoft game with many players from all around Warsaw. At that time that was the most crowded game we attended. You can see Wotan with his then-bought Tokyo Marui's SR16 Knights and Mamut with no replica visible. ;) Wotan was using urban camouflage at that moment. To be honest I don't know if he uses any camo now because he lives currently in Scotland and doesn't play airsoft with us anymore. :(

The early beginnings of Shamo Warsaw ASG Team

From Airsoft from ...

We started being a team about three years ago, we started shooting BBs somewhere near the summer of 2003. This photo was taken on the december 13th 2003. You can see there the "core" of Shamo. We came long way since that moment.
All of the people shown on the photograph back then had spring or gas powered replicas, now all of us (except Mamut, the guy in the helmet) have AEGs. Mamut had an electric MP5 for some short time but decided to sell it and get a Benelli M3 Super 90 by TM. He says he likes shotguns. But I guess there's something more behind that decision since Mamut is the only Shamo member who had given his replica a name (a woman's name that is ;) ).

At that point the team consisted of less then 10 people. Now there's 15 of us but at the airsoft games you won't see more than 5 of us. That's because people have other stuff to do.

The day of returning BBs

From Airsoft from ...

I should say that this week's airsoft game was the day when the BBs were turning back. We were playing at Miami, the same place as last week. The wind was so strong that hitting anything with the BB fired from airsoft replica was almost impossible. The BBs' trajectories were unpredictable, at any point the BB could turn vertical or horizontal. Even very long bursts didn't give a chance to hit the enemy one was firing at.

I shot more than 1 000 BBs, but hit only few times. These hits were achieved by rather short bursts on short distances. There was no need for the large battery nor the second magazine, though they were very useful. It's very easy to refill the one hicap magazine when you're ready to fire BBs from the second mag. And I must say that after that 1 000 BBs I didn't notice any drop of rate of fire. :)

Our team consists of 15 members (including two girls), but it's very uncommon to see more than 3-4 Shamo airsofters. ;) The today's representation of Shamo ASG Team is present on the photo on top of the post. You can see Mamut with his CA870, Ziutek with his M15A2 carbine and Squarek and his MP5A2.
