What?

Creed, have you lost your mind? haha

creed yes im still bleeding but its a lot better, as for my brother well i think hes sleeping but he may be dead...

and for there people i got my wisdom teeth pulled and my brother thing is an inside joke.

Ah, okay. Hey, Reaper, here's another thing: try to train your team to fire ambidextrously. It comes in handy a lot. I'm a righty (or I used to be, haha), but since I trained myself to shoot lefty, I'll find 50% of my field time is being spent firing lefty. Just for kicks, I shot lefty on the MCJROTC rifle range one day, and I actually improved my score by 10 points. It also helps to have an ambidextrous rifle, like a G36 or a SCAR, but it is very possible with just about any rifle. I've used M4s ambidextrously just fine

Yes I have lost my mind!!!

It's okay, Creed, that's what happens when you play airsoft too long

@Reaper
I just watched the video over again, and I would like to address the picture where your team is stacked behind the shield.... don't do that. If I were the OPFOR, I could've taken your entire fireteam out with one well-aimed burst. A good rule of thumb to remember is THE OPFOR IS ALWAYS SMARTER! If you play as if your opponents are smarter (and they probably are, they are for me), you will come out on top most of the time.

yeah I re-watched the video, I'm going to say get rid of that shield it's just going to be to much work for you guys. also don't get desert tiger, get desert marpat, if it's a full set up I would encourage either ACU or MarPat. The will both work well for what looks like what your doing.
And everybody has started doing a contractor set up sice MW2 came out so try and stay away from that

Well we did contractor because it was easy to get in short notice. @Jarhead yeah i saw a video from magpul on that, but i'm trying to get the hang of it for my m4 lol kinda hard. The stack also was just for show just a pose picture. @LoneSniper Also Mostly everyone down here has a digital style type uniform so we want to be a little different. Now almost everyone has their guns and they are all m4's or a type that can use m4 mags.

That's a good thing, for the most part. You can switch mags and loan each other ammo if you find the need to.

Woo I just watched it again, and I noticed a few things that will screw you guys over big time. you have no safety equipment on. and that wolf dude doesn't even have sunglasses on, two things that you guys need are 1 safety goggles or glasses it's perfered to use Z 87 rated glasses or goggles or paint ball masks. 2 is knee pads elbow pads and gloves, anybody on the forum can say it hurts like a Mother F'er if you get shot in the knuckles or elbows.

Yes it hurts ALOT if you get shot in the knuckles but even more in the eye.(No I don't have an experiance with that my friend does tho)

Bro for most of them we just posed. he was wearing a paintball mask most of the time. Safety is a must on my team.

Seriously guys, lay off the man.

Some of the pics were OBVIOUSLY posed...and even if they weren't, it's not your place to post 3 pages worth of criticism (I do realize there were alot of great tips and suggestions too, though). They have every right to have photo OP's without eye protection (as long as the replica's were unloaded). When I take my RS's out to clean or look at, you wont see me putting on eyes and ears.

Looks good, Reaper. The clothing is quite good actually, you've got a PMC look..which is a good thing for a team just starting out. Theres really no need to invest in a standardized uniform and combat gear at this point in time since you guys are stil, im guessing, in the "formation" stage (you're still developing the team's structure).

What does "956" stand for in your team's name?

2:22 was a great display of the stacked formation. Such a great neutral stance...provides a fierce offensive frontal position while commanding a 360 degree defensive grid.

How's airsofting in Texas?

Carry on.

yeah i know most were posed and the ones of the skrimish were to far, i was just making sure i shot my friend in the eyelid from 5 feet away with a 320 fps springer lucky he blinked after that safty comes first.

Knuckle shots are merely a nuisance. Sure, they hurt, but isn't that part of the fun of airsofting? It puts some hair on your chest!

knuckle shots annoy me, thank apple sauce for the oakley SI assault gloves lol

Thanks bro. Well 956 is Just the area code of the lower part of texas. Thanks for the comment about the PMC we are switching over to DTS soon though. We grew since that practice, our third one is on saturday. Airsofting here is ok not too many fields where We are located in Texas we lost one of the ones i liked. We might be able to use an abandoned school though still trying to find out because we see paintballers using it. We have more of a structured team now. Trying to work on ranks for the new guys so far they are just referred to as recruits.
