Sponsorships

We secured another sponsor recently. We didn't want to post anything until it was finalized. So without further ado, we are now sponsored eHobby Asia. Be sure to check out our sponsors sites (links in the sponsors gadget to the left). More in the works so like before, I will let you all know when we secure them.


Oh and a side note, we realize we having really given much info about our members besides those mentioned in the about us. I'm writing up member bios and will post them when they are complete.

Airsmithing Part 2

Well things went a lot smoother today. Got the mp5k running but their is a feeding issue so I'm at a loss. That will have to wait for an AEX trip. Still have to figure out a battery for it since I need a 9.6 volt now.

That said, I feel like I finally have a firm grasp on working on gearboxes. I've successfully worked on both version 2 and version 3 gearboxes. I'm really looking forward to upgrading my p90 at this point ;-).

On a side note, it looks like we have secured another sponsor. We will make an announcement once its been finalized.

Mercs: CQB City September 18th 2010 POV Pt 2

Part two with Zero and Tank running around. Changes person part way through.



Point Man,
Zero

Airsmithing

We all have to start learning some where right? Zero and myself have been working on three different guns with mixed results.

My CA m15a4 has been a love hate project gun. Installed a tight bore and an m120 spring in it over a year ago...maybe two and the spring for the anti reversal latch popped out of place and was ground flat. Final got around to replacing the latch and getting the gun operational once more just recently. Took her to AEX tonight to chrono and clocked in at 300fps. Frustration took over at that point. It appears to be a the hop up and gearbox not having a tight seal. Installed a o-ring and now its a tight fit. I'll have to take it in again and hopefully the fps will be around 380-400 this time.

Now the mp5k is just a mess. We gave up for the night as we both have class tomorrow (well actually today). Long story short (as I really should be sleeping now lol) we installed a metal spring guide, sp120 spring, new shims, stainless bushings, and a high torque motor. BUT, its not turning over and the gearbox is locking up. FAIL, try again next week.

The third gun is a CA SLR-105. We really haven't gotten to that one yet as we need a new wiring assembly since this one has...well....melted ;-)

Well time to turn in. Good night.

CQB City Day Game 12 Sep 10

Filmed at CQB City. Insurgents won the day.



Uniforms

 Our team competes on the insurgent team at CQB City. Therefore you wear the specified uniform. 

Our team uniform consists of a custom black t-shirt AEX branded t-shirt (as we are now sponsored by them) and black pants (black Dickies work pants are highly recommended, black BDU pants ok). Upon joining please provide the GM (myself) with a plain black t-shirt or PR rep with your shirt size and $5 ($10 if you would like a hat as well) to purchase an AEX shirt. Also provide measurements of the circumference of your upper arm (around the bicep, where your sleeve covers). PLEASE DO NOT FLEX when taking the measurement. If you do so the team armband made for you will not fit.

Team colors consist of orange and black. Please feel free to customize your look however you like as long as you stick to the color scheme and wear the team/sponsor shirts.


Your GM, EK

Rules

Safety Equipment:
- Elbow and knee pads are highly recommend. The Field consists of concrete and wooden surfaces. Knee pads will also allow you to slide in and out of cover.
-Eye protection is mandatory and you will not be allowed on the field without eye protection. 
---Paintball masks are acceptable
---Metal mesh screen goggles are not acceptable
---Full face protection is not mandatory but it is highly recommended that you protect your nose and teeth. Not everyone follows set field rules and you can end up getting shot up close in the mouth or nose resulting in a loss of teeth and or a serious bloody mess.
-Proper clothing must be worn.
---Sturdy pants such as Dickies work pants or BDUs (for our team, the color must be black)
---Boots are highly recommend but not required. Wear high traction footware as the concrete surfaces are slick 

Weapons:
Shotguns, pistols, SMGs, grenades (hand and shell types), short and long rifles are all acceptable. The fields we use have a 400fps velocity limit so make sure that your guns chrono in at acceptable velocities

Engagement:
-Airsoft is a game based on honor and we abide by it. If you get hit, call your hits. Just because the opponent is cheating doesn't make it right for you to do so also. 
-Read and know the rules for any field we patron. In order to play, you must know the rules of the field throughly and enforce them.
