| CSW, Sunday 22nd August. So, Second time at CSW, Second time getting shot at and second time running around saying "Wait..Where are we going, the reds are where?". So it being the second time, at least i knew what was going on and what i was supposed to do. Onto the action. Well, once me and Dan had sorted out our gear we went to the speedball field for the customary start-off speedball games which are always fun. Only bad thing that happened is that in the first game i got some cover and went to fire only to discover, to my horror, my battery i had in my gun hadnt charged up .So after a brief battery change while taking fire and having people yell at me to move up, i got back into the action and in typical Chris fashion, layed down covering fire while occasionally moving up. After speedball was the blues (or should i say lilacs) attack at the red village. Team P.A.R.R was there, so they went off one way with some people..while everyone else legged it the other way. After about 10 minutes we were in position and had a clear view of the village and a lot of reds in the towers. Then came the covering fire and people moving up until we were about 10 meters away from teh village when the whistle blew. After that was a blues defence of the radio shack, this time..me and Dan decided to take cover in the shack (which was a bad idea). Highlight of this game must have been some idiot on the red team running up to the radioshack and sticking his M4 in there and doing the ol' spray and pray, shooting Dan in the head in the process. Lucky for me i had already been hit by that point so i was no where near the shack, but still.. Poor Dan. After a short break was the king of the hill. In which i managed to survive the whole game, Mainly because first i was at the foot of the hill exchanging shots with the reds on the top of it. Then some guy came along to tell me the reds were coming towards our position. So after legging it back a few meters we stopped to see if we were being followed, and since we werent, me, Dan and two other people decided to try and sneak around the back of the hill to get the reds from behind. So after about 15 minutes of sneaking around we were at the back of the hill. Of course it would have been better if the time wasnt up. Still very good sneaking on our part. Then there was lunch...ahhh..lunch BBQ.. Anyway. After about 15 minutes of sitting around eating and drinking coffee, we hear someone yell out about a pistol game. Well i had two mags gassed and loaded up. They sure werent going to empty themselves. So off to the radio shack area where two groups split off and began to shoot each other with pistols and shotguns. Oh course..me tending to get trigger happy, i had an empty mag in about 5 minutes (Dan edit: Probably less than 5 actually.) , but that was plenty of time to get 2 people..one of which i think i shot in the head. (sorry about that if you're reading this) and for myself to get shot in the small of the back (which really hurts) Anyway after lunch was the hour long game which was called "Money Money Money", in which a plane carry a couple of billion dollars had crashed and the united states marine corp (reds) were trying to find the cases before a gang of international terrorist mercenary people (blues) found them. The fact that 3 park rangers had hidden the cases made it a bit difficult. Highlight of that game must have been my surviving it..although i did only shoot about 50 rounds, but that was because i found myself with a group that was searching for a case and didnt run into any reds, the only time we did was when we had to attack the village where the reds were holding a case. But story of my life, just as i was close to the village and about to spring into action..the whistle blew. After the game though i did notice a couple of reds coming back from the radio shack with a case. Sneaky bastards held the other one somewhere else, although in the same situation, so would i. After the hour long game was a king of the village, in which for the first time i got through a battery. So for about the last 5 minutes i resorted to going around with my pistol which was kind of helpful since i ended up helping some guy do room clearance just as the whistle blew. Again. So i let out a sigh of relief..End of day..WRONG. The final game was blues attack radioshack..which was kickass game as i managed to persuade dan into lending me his Infinity, and so we set off towards the radioshack. Dual pistols Style. So as we were taking cover behind some trees we hear the marshall yell out 1 minute left, and so listening to a team mate near us, me and Dan and the other guy rushed them, which resulted in us all getting shot as 4 of us tried to take cover behind one tree. And so the day was over, I'd got through 2 1000mah batteries and nearly an entire bag of Excels, but the main thing was fun was had by all. Except some unfortunate indivduals that got hit in the head at close range. So everyone, remember to play it safe and for the love of the airsoft god TAKE YOUR HITS, its supposed to be fun. - Chris |
