Trip to Ground Zero

Posted on 19/07/2010 at 19:28 by Ian Davis

Trip to Ground ZeroSo, me and a few guys took another trip to Ground Zero Woodland last Sunday.

Firstly I have to say we all had a good day and the change of terrain and scenary was a refreshing experience from our normal local site, as good fun as it is it's always nice to try something different. All but 1 of us had been there before so kinda knew what to expect, and with the weather being nice we had a fun day. The site is welcoming and the playing arena is open but with plenty of bunkers, dug-outs and buildings to really spice things up.

However, I do have an issue...

The ''Bang Rule'' is, as far as I know, one of the universal rules of Airsoft, the guns are not by any means lethal but at ranges under 3m they can hurt! With this in mind all of us had, during the day, come across enemy players within this range, either sneaking up behind them or them stumbling into our bush! so we naturally called BANG, and they took it.

That is until a bit later into the afternoon when Mike, visiting GZ for the first time and a relative newcomer to the sport (5 games under his belt) spotted an enemy player (or 3) in a bush above the path about 10m from a re-spawn point! He shouted BANG thinking he was a bit close to blast, however, the enemy players were not so concerned. They turned and opened up on the 3 players on the path hitting 2 with multiple (read 'a lot of') rounds at fairly close range. Obviously miffed, and quite annoyed - our players took the hits and walked the short distance back to the dead-zone. They were understandably verbal about ''what the hell is going on'' only to be told by a couple regulars that GZ had abolished the Bang Rule a few months ago. WTF! this is the FIRST airsoft site I have come across with this mentality.

We were told the change in rues was due to players not taking Bang kills and arguing ''I banged you first'' so they simply gave up on the rule. Way to go GZ, top marshalling!

What's more, one of the players that had opened up on Mike and the others took the time to walk to the dead-zone to then tell us that there was no bang rule, he had obviously heard us complaining. Now here is what really annoys, they get a guy shout bang, he thinks he is too close to fire and would rather call Bang than cause injury and pain, quite considerate and honourable I think. The other player and '' GZ Elite '' is not so considerate and opens up, he doesn't hesitate, he doesn't call back that there is no bang rule, no - he returns fire without warning. Very un-sportsman like.

Players with that attitude are not common thankfully, and they would certainly not be welcome at our local site. If GZ really think they have the ''most honest players in the country'' (as was hammered into us in the 15 minute briefing of how good GZ is and how good their regulars are) they really don't see it from the visitors point-of-view.

The 'breifing' was all very self indulgent and very little information about the game and little site specific info. They didn't even mention that they can not and do not enforce one of the most honourable rules in airsoft, bye bye Bang Rule at GZ woodland.

Sometimes trips away, while fun, really make you appreciate what you have at home :)

Snow Wolf Barrett M82 Review

Posted on 03/06/2010 at 09:07 by James Quick

Doing my usual forum scavenge I found a very interesting review on the greatly anticipated  Snow Wolf Barrett M82 Review, an affordable and full metal M82 replica, for me it looks very promising supposedly being about $300 when it is released. It features a standard V2 gearbox and a beast of a 650mm barrel,  you could buy one, upgrade it and still not have spent what you would have done on a Socom Gear Barrett M82. Great if you are on a budget but need to have this replica.



Would love to hear your comments.

So....   who's booked tickets to Romania!?

PLT Studio recently finished shooting for an upcoming AirSoft promotion. It was definitely a great experience to be able to work with such an enthusiastic and professional cast.  Considering the locations (some were admittedly harsher than others), transportation and long days with back-bending equipment— we finished the principal photography in a very efficient manner. Great times...

Hi Guys,

On my weekly Airsoft related travels I came across a very interesting idea, an after market blow back system an M4. It fits into a standard stock tube but this does however mean that the battery has to be elsewhere, such as front wired AEG's with the battery in the front-end or for example a battery bag. This is a nice addition to the increasing realism market joining gas blow-back guns, Tokyo Marui's M4 Blow-back SOPMOD and G&G's M4 Blow-back. 

Check it out, the Tremors 3 system by Modify is being released within the next few days;



Hi guys,


Just thought I would repost a news article about an amazing day we had at Southwest Wargames with my boss and creative director of Brighter Creative.

"Thankfully, James walked away unscathed and the shots fired were all in the name of team building, at a South West War Games combat simulation day at the village, just outside Plymouth in Devon.

Sam and James were fortunate enough to win a prize draw at the recent Business South West Show and were kindly invited by South West War Games to partake in the complimentary event to learn the art of Airsoft Combat.

Airsoft weapons fire 6mm plastic pellets at speeds of 500 feet per second, fast enough to feel but not to cause too much damage. The resulting effect creates realistic combat scenarios without the risk of serious injury.

Sam and James learned how to storm buildings, clear rooms and rush a target under the cover of friendly fire; all with the help of fake (but very loud) grenades and smoke bombs.

South West War Games, run by an ex-marine and specialist in Military Tactics, specialise in creating Combat Situations with a twist on building teams.

Our Creative Director Sam said “Firstly, I was amazed at how much fun Airsoft was. Once I’d got over the novelty of being Rambo, I realised that there were some really good business lessons to be learned from what we were doing. Communicating and being really clear with instructions made the difference between success and failure on the battlefield”.

Tracers look fun!

Just thought I'd share this video with you all, thinking of doing some night games in 2010 but for them to work everyone needs to be using tracer units - anyone played any night games before? what were they like? what does/doesn't work?

Enjoy :)
