Use a wiffle ball bat. Less bruising but just as satisfying.

The whistling sound it makes as it cuts through the air or that sound it makes when it impacts flesh?

I dunno - the sound of a wooden bat (or 2 by 4) on a skull... ooo, I guess I'm in a dark mood this morning!

Hell with that. The Colonel has over 40,000 rounds that Cpt. West sent him and I still have about half of the 24,000 rounds I had for the Memorial Day shindig. Sending a few hundred at her students would be fun. I'll be right over with a few rifles, MsB.

Though I do agree with sister, wooden bat or 2x4 against a skull does make a satisfying sound.

Friendly bump from another airsoft player (though only a "weekend warrior" since I've gone to college and can't have my rifle down here). Glad to see that firefly is being kept alive in that arena at least.

Recently there were some folks up in Wisconsin or Virginia or somewhere who re-created the Battle of Serenity with airsoft, and we have a UK member who has done several such battles. It's so much fun!

Wanna join up with the 76th ???

Well, I'm out in Kansas and I'm willing to bet most of you folks are West and East Coast. I'm a WWII reenactor ( http://137thinfantry.org/ have been with this unit for two, three years now) and oddly enough you're uniform and such reminds me off that a lot; the specific gear/equipment required and what not.

The only problem is, I'm still collecting that gear (and being a college student makes it a bit tougher); still need a bayonet for the basic impression but I'll also have to pick up some other "non-essential" but important equipment, like a gasmask bag (for random stuff like rations, ammunition, grenades etc) and my rifle's blank adapter.

Starting over, for this would be a bit of a pain right now, since I recently bought an airsoft rifle (An very nice AK-47 which I've barely been able to use-I'm a little sore about that), especially considering that I technically have a few pieces of this equipment already (the Steel M-1 Helmet for example) but I can't use them (need my helmet to be OD green) and so I'd have to buy that again.

Prehaps after I finish collecting my US Impression and if I get more into Airsoft (I only got started last summer) this summer again.

Though, it would be nice to actually have a uniform going airsofting; usually I simply go with an odd OpFor one, wearing Desert night camoflauge with some other pieces of US equipment. Goes good with the AK, but I feel a little out of place(some of my friends are on teams that have similar uniform requirements, usually modern US uniforms though).

Edit: I might have to pick up some of those patches just for the hell of it; I think it's pretty cool that you guys have them.

A quick question: I understand nearly no latin, but I get the first part, but what's "LIBERTAS SUMPTUS" mean?

Libertus Sumptus literally means Liberty Costs (I think) but we prefer the more loose translation of "Freedom Ain't Free".

I completely understand being a college student. Feel free to join our message boards just to see what we're all about. We have plenty of folks who are on there who aren't able to march with us for whatever reasons. :)
