New Shamo airsoft movie

Yesterday one of my airsoft friends published on YouTube his video made more than a year ago.

Though I haven't played airsoft in a long time (over a year), I managed to appear in the video. I'm the guy in the woodland camo cowboy hat, using the mG36 and (later) MP5K PDW.

Enjoy. :)

Full face airsoft protection for winter

Do you ever attend airsoft games in winter? Do you need your face to be fully protected, but don't want to buy ugly airsoft mask? If so, get a shemagh scarf, goggles and a helmet. And watch the following video.

Cyma AK47 review -- bullshit

I saw a review of Cyma's CM028 - AK47 replica. And I thought I must write here something, because the review is bullshit. But what to expect when the replica is reviewed by someone who sells them, not by someone who only uses replicas!

Around 2:12 the guy says the following:

Not only will bigger and more powerful battery increase the rate of fire (...), also increase the range and accuracy up to 5 to 10 per cent.

Come on! The only thing that changes when you supply 9.6 volt current instead of 8.4 volt is the engine speed. The engine revolves faster, the gears in gearbox revolve faster, the power spring gets compressed faster. But the energy delivered to the piston by the spring does not depend on how fast the spring was compressed! So no matter what battery you use, the amount of compressed air that will push the BB through the inner barrel remains the same.

Well... there may be one case when it isn't the same. If you connect 12V battery to stock replica, the engine may try to compress the spring when it didn't decompress itself fully. The engine may revolve so fast that the next gearbox work cycle will start before the piston reaches the cylinder head.

The hill

I can't say why this video was viewed almost 300,000 times on YouTube. It's boring, has very long parts of darkness when nothing is shown, the most interesting part is shown for a very short time.

The text at the end of the video says that the hill was taken during one scenario by a group of 28 people. Later a large group of 100 people was sent to take the hill back. The result was easy to predict...

Two winter games

This is the post in which I'll write about the last two games I played. They took place at january 20th and 27th.

January 20th, 2007. Radziejowice.

The game was played in the same place as on previous weekend. But this time it was much crowded, each team consisted of 15 players. The scenarios weren't interesting enough to mention here. It was simple "you start there, we start here and have to reach that point". I uploaded satellite photo of the area to my cellphone and used it along with my GPS receiver to know where to head. I used G36 on first round and AK47S on the second round. We didn't limit the amount of ammo in magazines, so it was quite fun. :)

The team I played with used walkie-talkies (handheld radios) for the first time so it was more fun than actual gain from using those radios. There was a lot of mud and moisture, unfortunatelly the temperature was above freezing point.

My girlfriend Ania made those photos along with couple of videos. I put them together and here they are.

I wanted to add subtitles to this video, but I am not sure if anyone is interested in knowing exactly what is going on. If you want to read subtitles, let me know. :)



January 27th, 2007. Adamowice.

Remember the game in unused railway complex? If not, read the article I posted last year. The game took place in the same place. For the last couple of rounds we moved to another spot.

Nothing very interesting, worth mentioning. Just videos here. Some photos were made, but aren't worth putting here. If you'd like to see them, visit the gallery.



The following movie is quite interesting, you'll see a nice skirmish between three players, a very Close QB. :)



In the movie below take a good look at the part that starts around 3:40. You'll se a guy outside the building. He didn't know that the guy next to the window was in the opposite team and forgot to shoot him. :)











Comments are 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.

Shamo Warsaw Airsoft Team advertisement at Google Video

This is the movie we made with my friends from my airsoft team (Shamo Warsaw ASG Team) almost two years ago. We had lots of fun during the shoot, unfortunatelly the source material that was later cut to this form was lost so the fun can't be replayed.

I just received the photos from our two latest airsoft games, but since they're only in 480x360 resolution, I will not post them.
