A couple months ago, AirsoftGI gave away some of our Operation Northern Lights tickets to a team that was closer to the event and sent them our cameras. Here is some highlights of happened. Are you interested in attending a Midwest or East Coast Lionclaws Event? Airsoft GI will periodically send out a fireteam (4 men) to attend these events in our place, and will usually have a competition to determine who goes. Stay tuned to our Facebook in order to find out when we hold these competitions!
Bob was inspired this past week and wanted to show new and older players the kind of loadout that was possible when purchasing AirsoftGI’s new Combat Machine and Shotgun Bundle Deals. In addition, he also bought some of the bundled Condor plate carrier online specials. If you like what he built, be sure to leave a comment below and check out the products on our website!
What do ladies and airsoft guns have in common? Well for starters, they both have curves, they both can be fun to have around, and they both can potentially be very expensive. Both require time and money, both of which aren’t exactly in huge abundance as your average teen!
One problem we, at Airsoft GI, know that teenagers face is the daunting task of finding time for all their activities. Between school, hobbies, homework, and the opposite gender, there just isn’t enough time to do everything we want to do. How does one balance the amount of time needed to enjoy your hobby and socialize with the opposite sex? What if it came down to just two simple choices for one evening: Airsoft… or a date with a lady? (more…)
This week on Top Tech Challenge! Aaron vs. Spencer! We take a bare bones G4 and the techs have to make it the best possible SPR (Special Purpose Rifle). Except, this time, each stage is timed, meaning that they only have 30 minutes for the gear box and 30 minutes for the body. Mix that in with some shooting challenges, and you have a tech challenge that will really push these guys to the limit. Be sure to check these guns out on our website! www.airsoftgi.com
Blacksheep Milsim was set up by retired U.S. Army Infantry Major John Bucciarelli. He is the author of the MILSIM Tactics manual and the MILSIM MOUT Manual, both of which are fantastic read for MILSIM and casual players alike. He has been teaching combat tactics and effectiveness to airsoft players across the nation. His attention to micro and macro tactics lead to him designing many different and successful training seminars for many years now. Major Bucciarelli is the very meaning of dedication to competitive MILSIM airsoft.

Blacksheep MILSIM offers squad tactics training and makes it a point to focus on that aspect in their MILSIM games. Their training focuses from squad level to battalion level tactics. Respawns have been redesigned in order to empathize the squad itself and its effectiveness on the field. For example, these two rules ensure that the squad stays together:
Medic Rule: is designed to reinforce squad-based tactics. Each squad is issued a medic armband and eight bandages per fire team = 16 bandages for a squad. When you are hit – pull out your dead rag or glow stick and call for a medic. Medic either gets to you or a buddy can move you to the medic. The medic ties a bandage on your body and you are immediately back in the fight. This creates a fluid battlefield environment and allows your squad to push the offensive or hold the defense. When you run out of bandages, you are REDCON5 and must withdraw as a squad to the CP.
REDCON Levels: are based on real reporting procedures used in the military and reflect percentage of mission capability. REDCON is based on a LACE Report – liquids, ammunition, casualties and equipment. When you are REDCON5 – 0% mission capable – in any of these areas you must withdraw as a squad from the battlefield to your CP – then rearm, refit and get remissioned back into the battle.
The Squad stays together in Blacksheep MILSIM games.
For those interested in giving a Blacksheep MILSIM event a try, consider The Cove 3 in Gore, Virginia from Sept 20th to 22nd 2013 in a 3,000 acre AO. This event features a complete 24 hour tactical simulation. This means that the airsoft battle continues into the dusk and even at night, which allows players to finally use all that night vision gear. Keep in mind, that this MILSIM event will challenge the players on many different levels: physically and mentally.
