Hi!

Turned out that my Kayla project became my girlfriend's gun. Actually, she now uses my HK416 and my JP Rifle which she now calls Jake.

I, on the other hand, have switched guns and am now using my new babies:

Hi everyone! Due to the camo painting project that my girlfriend and I did, and we were satisfied with the results, I was able to muster enough courage to assemble my own gun. I decided to go for an M4 variant since parts are readily available plus there are so many ways to dress up an M4. I saw a 7" JP rifle front assembly kit at Airsoft Global and decided to order it online (credit card reason). Took more than a month to get here (from Hong Kong) and it cost about 1k more than what it costs if I bought it locally.

I ordered the following from Tactical Lab, Lock and Load and TLP Bunker (Manila Shops):

TLP Bunker:
Metal Body with small parts
1-piece M4 metal hop-up
Stubby Metal Sling Adaptor
CA M4 air nozzle

Tactical Lab:
JG complete mech box (V2)
2 pieces P-Mags

Lock and Load:
Element G27 grip
Quad Ring
6mm metal bushings

I was supposed to order the mech box from an entrepreneur but had problems with shipping, luckily, the ever dependable Tactical Lab had stocks.

The mech box they gave me is one of the newer generations since it already has a better piston body (orange) and metal bushings.

I also got a 407mm, 6.02mm tight bore barrel from EdGI. It's made of brass but the inner finishing is quite superb.

Due to budget constraints, I haven't bought a motor for this project gun. I "borrowed" the TechPro Hi-torque motor from Kristine (my HK 416) together with her Stubby grip (the motor plate that I have couldn't fit properly on the Element G27 grip).

I bought a stubby stock from Triad here in CDO. The mech box that I got was "front configured" so I had to re-wire everything since my battery compartment would be at the stock. I also wired the Termi-MOSFET that I have lying around for quite some time, waiting to be used. I know a bit of Electronics and got my tools already so it wasn't much of a hassle to wire everything.

This is also the first time that I shimmed the gears. The gears are moving much freely now and there's not much wobble so I think I did a good job. I haven't placed the Quad Ring yet to maximize compression since the stock O-ring is still fine. I used a bit of teflon tape on the lube channel of the piston head so that only a little expansion from the O-ring is needed to provided an air seal.

I replaced the stock air nozzle with the new one and I'd be putting the former to a JG Beta Spetsnaz, a project gun for my girlfriend. Got everything assembled and ready to go. So, without further ado, here's "Kayla"

and here's a sample video of her

Assault on Sector 7

ConTAG is once again invited to a one-day tournament on February 8, 2008. The tournament, dubbed as Assault on Sector 7, is considered a Sunday Game and is the 1st Airsoft Tournament to be organized by the Tactical Unit - Pinelands Airsoft Club (TUPAC). The said event will help promote the hobby and game of airsoft in the community. The activity will also strengthen the group bond to the society especially to the youth thus, encouraging them thru the welfare of sports.

The tournament will be held at Field 7, Camp Phillips, Bukidnon and will be composed of 11 Teams. This is an objective-based, CQB type game with each team being composed of 15. The 15-man team would need to accomplish certain tasks to gain points. The team with the highest points wins!

If ever you're in the area, do drop by and view how Airsoft is played. This would surely be a fun and exciting game!

See you there!!!

Hi...

Here's me and my gf's first try on camo painting Airsoft guns:

I took up a new hobby. It can be considered by most as a lucrative hobby but when you get to look at it at an over-all perspective, it's worth every penny. Well, any hobby that you choose to be serious about would really entail you to spend. Good thing that my hobby is within reasonable reach. Any average earning employee like me would be able to afford and maintain such hobby.

Okay... okay. It's not water related, since most water-related hobbies are costly too (ie: surfing, wakeboarding, diving). It's not driving-related (cars, racing) and it's not girl-collecting either (way too expensive).

What the heck am I talking about?

It's something known as Airsoft.

Airsoft is similar to Paintball, the only difference is that Airsoft uses plastic BB pellets and has way more cooler guns compared to paintball. I've wanted to play airsoft since my college days but couldn't do it due to lack of finances.

Anyway, I got all my basic gear ready and couldn't wait to play. Good thing about this sport is when you have a lot more people interested in it, you can meet up and play whenever your schedules permit. It's good exercise and a good way to make friends because after the shooting's done, everybody keeps their cool because Airsoft is also considered a sport.

I recently learned that a colleague of mine at Concentrix was a dedicated Airsoft enthusiast. He offered a good deal for a Jing Gong HK 416 and M4. I chose the HK416 because I liked how it felt compared to the M4. Other people knew about the deal and started ordering as well. Even the top bosses got their own guns. Sir Ramil even got two.

Anyway... this blog is turning out to be boring.

On with the fun stuff...

We had our first skirmish earlier at 0900H. Man, it was hot!!! Freaking HOT!!! But it was fun!!!
Lots of fun!!! We were only 7 players since some were not able to complete their gears but we still managed. We played at the SAG site and it was a bit grassy and full of debris and goat poop all over. It's cool though. This is military-simulation anyway. Sir Ritche briefed us on some basic dos and donts. The SAG site is a cool site though it may seem to be built in a hurry. If we enjoyed playing there, I'm sure everyone else would. We didn't get to maximize the whole site since we're just seven. 4 against 3 most of the time but the last 2 games it was a 3 on 3 since the heat and the physicality of the game got most out of Sir Junar and Sir Ramil. 2 hours worth of playing and it was like a half-day of basketball for me. It was well worth it. I took some pictures but their all "non-combat" shots since it's hard to shoot the camera and my gun at the same time.

I'll let the pictures do the talking. We'll be playing next week again, and I think this would soon be a weekly thing.

We're still noobs but with more practice, we'll be better at it.

By the way, my 2 kills were by way of headshots. Can't see much of the body coz of the covering blocks.

My hunee wants to watch next time we play, so I'm sure we'll have better pics next time.
