Last month, I had the idea of coming up with my most ideal airsoft game. Here's a list of the things that I want to include in the game scenario: (1) the gameplay has to be a little more complex; (2) there must be a storyline that fits the game scenario; and, (3) it involves several games (or chapters) but each game still follows the storyline.Given those simple requirements, i did not realize it

I've been looking for an AEG specifically for CQB games. At present i have an ICS M4 RIS that is sometimes unwieldy for CQB games. I regularly snag the tip of the muzzle snap shooting out of standard 90cm-100cm doorways (at the EVSU site). I am considering any of the following as my next AEG purchase: the G&P CQB M4 that comes with a red-dot scope or (on the recommendation of my gunsmith) and SRC

Jeez! I haven't posted anything here for a while. There hasn't been much action in the Tacloban airsoft community or at least i haven't been to the regular games lately. Last time i played was June 10 (sunday). It wasn't quite as i expected; i had battery problems i.e. my battery ran out of juice in the middle of the second game :-(. I have to get a better battery maybe higher amperage would give

Okay. I posted only a few pictures and there are lots of them. After a whole day of tinkering, i got a good number of the photos to work in a video file complete with music.ENJOY!And here is the rest of it.

Finally, i have the pleasure of sharing a few photos from the airsoft tournament that we joined last May 26, 2007 in Ormoc City.GO DARK WING DUCK! Soar high! Fly proud!

Yeah, yeah, yeah! I was so excited about the first airsoft competition i was going to attend in Ormoc. It took me a long time to post something about (it was held last Sunday 27 May 2007). I thought i'd wait for the photos and videos that my Dark Wing Duck teammates took so i could include them in my post. Alas! None have come out yet - they're still editing and stuff. Might as well post

As i said i'll post a picture of my AEG. So here ... its the ICS M4A1 RIS model. And so far it has served me well. Although i have only played at the CQB gamesite within the EVSU (Eastern Visayas State University) campus. But last Sunday, 27 May 2007, i brought it to Ormoc City to play in my first ever competition. So, what do i think of it?Well, for starters, it cost me a lot of money - 21,000

When i got my airsoft gun from my supplier he suggested two modifications: (1) change the hop-up packing, and (2) change the air-seal nozzle. According to him, the ICS M4A1 RIS is pretty good out of the box i.e. it does not need much upgrading. From the newbie point of view, i couldn't really understand the fuss about shimmings, and gears, and springs, etc. I chose to begin my search for an

My brother-in-law asked me and my son to join their team for an airsoft competition in Ormoc City this sunday. Exciting and scary! It's going to be my first time to participate in organized airsoft competition. Whatever i may feel, i am looking forward to playing.It's also going to be the first time that will play for a specific team in an organized competition. We had a team briefing the other

After a few weeks, we had a game again yesterday (20 May 2007) at EVSU game site. A few "regulars" showed up after a long hiatus. I think more and more players will show up in the coming weeks. It would be great to play with actual team mates instead of being teamed up with other players. At least getting teamed up with someone whose style of play is already familiar. Yesterday, i realized how

I posted this in my Tacloban Speakeasy back before i though about starting another blog for airsoft. FPS regulations during games is still a raging issue. I'm neither for or against it; the issue can still go both ways. At present the apparent compromise is FPS regulated gamesites, which isn't really complied with strictly.There are a host of factors that make it difficult for FPS regulation. And

So, for my first post, here are a few pictures. All these are personal photos relating to airsoft. A lot are photos of my son, who is most likely the youngest airsoft player in Tacloban City (he's just 10 years old). I bought him an MP5 as a beginner gun (at about 250fps). We had to upgrade it, but it went bonkers on us. First the stock battery couldn't crank the upgraded spring. We had to get a

I decided to spawn another blog for airsoft having realized that Tacloban Speakeasy was too broad. Seeing that airsoft in Tacloban is a growing community, i realized that it would be nicer to create a separate blog for it.What will this blog be about? Airsoft! Anything and everything i can write about that has to do with airsoft will be found here.Any particular direction for this blog?

The elections were certainly boring for me(and maybe a lot of others too). Not as colorful as the 2001 and 2004 elections. Perhaps the lack of viable choices among candidates made it boring. I wrote about this in Tacloban Speakeasy reacting to Antonio Abaya's article: "Trillanes Tsunami".Good (or bad?) for me, i am still registered (as a voter) in Manila. I didn't have to go through what would
