What to do when you are captured?

Well depending on the game type and rules you are using sometimes you have to surrender. Well in some cases its because you primary airsoft gun either brakes, runs out of ammo or batteries. That is why you need a secondary and/or melee weapons (fake of course!) Also, in some scenario based games its good to have a small pistol that is easily concealed so you can do a surprise attack if you are captured or a hostage.

I came across these they work well in night ops in airsoft. They are night vision goggles that come with Modern Warfare 2 the game.

airsoft bbs polished vs unpolished

Airsoft bbs polished vs unpolished:

Well for starters if you have a high grade gun do not use unpolished bbs as this will hurt the hop up on your gun. (300 f/s guns) Also use .20's they give the best shot unless you want a bigger punch use higher gram bb's, .12 bbs do not work well they jam and have a curve to them usually inaccurate. Only use unpolished in low quality guns, or spring guns.

Eyeclops Night Vision

2010-06-06T06:19:00.000-07:00

Here's how it works: Most digital cameras "see" infrared, this is how "nightshot" works on consumer video cameras. This is how the Eyeclops works. Instead of being an image intensifier tube as in "Genuine" night vision, the Eyeclops is a digital camera with two banks of IR LEDs and an LCD screen inside the goggle. The unit takes 5x AA batteries in a pack attached to the back of the headgear. This is where the on/off switch is. On the unit itself there is a switch to toggle green/white based image (more on this later) and toggle high/low IR illumination (more on this later).

Physical: it is a goggle type device with rubber head straps, mounted to the back of the straps is the power pack. In the centerline above the eyes is the camera and high power illuminator. Over the right eye is the low power illuminator. Inside the right eye cup is the LCD screen. The left eye has no purpose, and is a hatch that can be flipped up so your left eye can see normally. Detail: The LCD screen is really quite small, and the resolution is pretty low, however what you DO have is very clear. The field of view is incredibly narrow. Due to the image resolution, camera position (center of forehead, above eyes), and the magnifying effect of the camera the image is also not true to life. The image that you see is not as "close" as it seems. Illumination: There are two banks of illuminators. The "low" setting puts off no visible light. The "high" setting puts off enough visible light that one could see the glow at 30 feet or so. In the "low" mode you can clearly see out to about 20 feet. The "high" mode extends that to about 30 feet, but completely washes out the objects between 0 and 10 feet.

The Green/White toggle simply changes the color of the output. While this is a purely cosmetic feature, it does seem to help reduce eye fatigue. How it compares: The Eyeclops has a very sharp image compared to the Gen 1 devices I've used. The image at short range is clearer, and the lack of having to manually focus makes it easier to adjust looking at long/short range. The range of this device is significantly shorter than Gen 1 devices though. With genuine NV, backscatter light from city and moonlight improves the effectiveness of the unit. With the Eyeclops, it only "sees" reflected IR, so the only things you see are those lit up by the illuminators on the unit or on your weapon mounted illuminator.

Skirmishing: At Faction Wars 2 I played for about 1-1.5 hours, most of the time wearing the device. One of the biggest concerns with using the device is the fact that you cannot wear safety glasses while using it. While the device is on your head your eyes are protected, but if you lift it up you'll need to quickly put on your glasses. This issue could be alleviated if you removed the dummy left eye piece and put in a piece of metal mesh, this way you would have NV vision in your right eye, and regular vision in your left, and still be protected. Because of the camera placement and my eyes being covered up, I couldn't use my sights at all.

The one time I engaged another player I did so with point shooting and a 10 round burst. Using a laser of some kind (although giving away your position) would help with accurately aiming. Walking normally while wearing the device is practically impossible. Your depth perception goes to hell as does your perspective. I was able to crawl effectively simply because I was moving by touch. With the device I was able to see people that were moving about and crouching next to trees because their gear was very reflective to IR. The device doesn't "see" people that are silhouetted against a city light backscatter sky unless they are being illuminated by the LEDs. My regular eyes are able to see silhouettes better than the device. In September I hosted a game out in the middle of nowhere that included a nighttime mission. There was no city light backscatter, the only ambient light was from a half moon. I was paring the Eyeclops with a weapon mounted IR illumintator (surefire G2 + G&P IR filter). In open terrain I found it less than useful since the moon was casting enough light for me to spot enemies, which I could engage using my ACOG. In closer forested terrain the Eyeclops came in handy.

I would move 10 yards or so, then stop, put on the eyeclops and (using my G2) scan the surrounding area. Because cheap tac gear "glows" under IR illumination, I was able to spot and engage targets in a forested (and very dark) area. Due to the short vision range, I used the G2 as much as a target designator as an illuminator. The bottom line: The device could definitely find a place in the weekend warrior's bag of tricks. For use in stationary observation of an area, this device is useful. It is difficult to use to navigate unfamiliar terrain. The difficulty in switching between using the device and using regular (protected) vision makes it less useful in the stock form, but through modification this could be corrected. But hey, for $80 at Toys R Us, this is pretty good fun.

When you have the perfect airsoft gun for all your airsoft skirmishes selected, what else could you possibly need? Certainly do not want to enter the field and playing only with your Airsoft gun in hand!

Here is a list of important and useful Airsoft guns accessories:

Breathing Full Goggle and/or mask
Sure, Airsoft guns only shoot little plastic BBs, but once the little BB is going at full speed can be sure that will hurt (75- 500max ft per/sec). At that speed BBS can break the skin or cause serious damage to the eye. Protect yourself from the serious (and not so serious) injuries!

BBS
There are many different types of BBs out there. You can choose different colors, yellow is the most popular. Biodegradable BBS are becoming increasingly popular and almost standard. These bullets take less than a year to decompose in contrast with more than five years with the older style. Airsoft BB gun is available in different weights, as well. The lighter the BB has more potential, would be for larger Distances, but more likely it is of going off course, can be driven by a light wind, etc. Heavier BBs are more accurate, but not travel quite so far. Most people choose an airsoft gun BB half with a weight of 0.20 or 0.25. Now there are bullets that are filled with ink that explodes and spreads on impact. You can also get some with ink that looks like blood …

A holster
Keep extra Airsoft guns in hand or store that is used in a holster. You will find it very useful when you are on the ground.

Eyes.
If you choose, not to wear a mask (recommended), to be sure, at least wear a pair of glasses. Security is the key.

Target
Before you hit the field practice your shot. Red laser sight, Get more accurate with a red laser sight. Furthermore, it seems cool! You can find one that easily connects to most Airsoft Guns. For even more accuracy get a scope.
Supplies

Refill CO2, extra magazines, ammo. Keeping these on hand when you need it.
Combat Tactical Vest
This will protect against the sting of pellets! Also, you can store more on your person.
Customize
There are many other airsoft gun accessories, you can choose. There are many aftermarket products that can be added. You can customize your Airsoft gun to anyway you want.

Crosman Remington® Tac 1

2010-05-09T16:03:00.001-07:00

Remington® Tac 1
The single-shot pump action shotgun Tac 1 is a short-barrel pump gun with a pistol grip and a six position adjustable stock. The spring-powered Tac 1 has an extended magazine with a feed dial that holds up to 240 plastic BBs and has an impressive velocity of up to 350 fps. For greater distance and accuracy, the Tac 1 uses the Hop-Up system.

Specifications

Model Number: RTAC1CB

Power Source: Spring

Caliber: 6mm Plastic BBs

Velocity: 350 feet per second

Weight: 47oz

Safety: Cross Bolt

To load you either get a funnel or just a pack of like 2000BBs with an easy pour cap. Then you just pour the BBs into the slot at the top of the magazine, easy as pie. Aiming is very easy too. You just aim the barrel at the target, and you will hit it eventually (you have 240 shots). For scrolling the magazine, you only have to scroll it for 10 or 20 seconds every 20 shots. Not every 5 shots. Overall this shotgun is very amazing for the money and it's high capacity plus it's very powerful. Also, If you pump the shot gun more than once it can fire multiple BB's in a shotgun blast, the only draw back is it lesses its effective firing range. The Crosman Remington® Tac 1 magasine is interchangeable with other simular shotguns. Also, the Crosman Remington® Tac 1 can take the smaller 19 BB mag from other airsoft shotguns. The shotgun is well balanced and is easy to run with. Firing while laying down is hard though because of the pump action, also becarful of the strap, it sometimes comes undone. Overall it is a great airsoft shotgun.

8/10

Reliability: Do not pull mag out until all BB's are discharged because it will jam

Performance: rapid semi-auto fire, some times BB's jam in gun inside, do not recommend taking apart gun it is very hard to place springs back into place. Also, use top quality batteries/rechargeable, tends to drain batteries quickly. Takes 4 AAA batteries.

Durability: plastic on top easily broken if droped

This was my first Airsoft gun, I bought it from Walmart, I would recommend it to any beginner, however, many problems. If it brakes overall your better off buying a new and different gun than trying to fix it.
