| Ok this place I went wasn't exactly an op but there was at least a total of 30 experienced guys there. The Event lasted from 10 AM till 7PM. Temperatures got up to 93 degrees (fahrenheit) and my gun weighs 11 pounds. I gotta say it was fun but was so hot that I felt like it had turned from an airsoft event where you fight each other, to a battle with the sun were you fight off heat stroke. I drank 2 liters of water that day. Has anyone else had experiences like this? | |

| I do! At operation:Al Najaf(a scenario about a small town in Iraq). The temp was 100df out and we had to wear full bdus because it was a uniform requiorment. Basically I spent the first 4 hours walking around a 250acr field 3 large engagements(firefights), all on 12oz of water. I did suffer from a mild dehidration, but it wasn't too bad. When I went back out(actually down to everyone who has experienced Springfield :LOL: ) our whole team was pinned within a 50yd radius. We did pretty well considering the odds(we had 67 people they had 157). The other team was supposed to be guarding their factories/villiages etcetc but they decided on the whole a best deft is a good offensive. We lost but it was slot of fun.

| 90F is about the hotest day I've played in while ghillied, needless to say large amounts of water to prevent the dreaded skirmish headache. The day started with about 90 players, and whittled down by half towards the end of the day. One of those days when the camelback water was fit to brew tea in! | |

| The past event (OP Dirty Sandbox) I was involved in the temperature reached a blistering 95 degrees (F) with just enough humidity to make it pretty miserable at times. Luckily we were in shaded woods almost the entire time, but it was still quite hot out. At times we would walk by squads of players who had to sit out for 10-15 minutes at a time due to overheating. The heat can really put a damper on events. Luckily I had just purchased a camelbak hydration system which held almost 2 liters of cold powerade for me - definitely a lifesaver. Two years ago, at Blind Fury III, temperatures reached 112 degrees (F)!! They had to call the game 4 hours early due to too many people passing out. Very disturbing | |

| I was involved in a 3/3 airsoft battle with some friends ans it reached over 98df. We all had to take a 10 min break after each battle. that really was one of the hottest battles i have ever been in. Not to mention it was all open field with sparse trees. | |
