OP: SILENT NIGHT April 4-5 7pm-Midnight

[White_Knight]

This was a great event. It was cool that most people showed up with a good attitude, and the competition was good also. Thanks to BSP.

[Valupta]

Just got home! Great event. Much fun was had.

[Eclipse]

great game guys. Now I have the pleasure of pooping bb's out for the next few days! WOOT WOOT!

[SpOoKFiSh]

Great job guys, Once the rules were changed to semi-auto only, it got a lot more fun. Great job!

[lunacite]

Seconded. Semi-auto made my dual pistols much more feasible, not that I had any problem on Friday...

[Junto]

That was a blast. I miss CQC battles.

By the way, did you hear about the guy with a green laser mounted to his chainsaw that was intentionally blinding people and chopping off their heads?

[Eclipse]

YOU WERE TOLD NOT TO TALK ABOUT THAT!!!!!!!

[Shepherd]

I had a wonderful time. Thanks BSP! You guys work hard and I appreciate it!

I came away with lessons learned:

1. Staring down a dark hall into the business end of a SureFire totally masks what is going on behind it. Even if you have your own SureFire pointing their way the feeble (relatively) reflected light from your SureFire is washed out by their direct light. The result is target confirmation is impossible. Either you shoot the light or you hold your fire.

2. Staring down a dark hall into the business end of a SureFire totally washes out your iron sights. Aiming is more by feel, instinct and training.

3. 1" Picatinny scope mount can be used to mount a SureFire G2 Nitrolon to a rail system. Place the tailcap button of the G2 just in front of a verticle grip and you can knuckle the switch. No pressure switch with wire is needed.

4. Mout 1 training in day light is a lot different then operating in the dark. It shouldn't have been but room clearing tacktics went out the window. No one was forming up in stacks and flooding rooms. No T-formations. The most common tactic used was to rush. WWI proved that tatic to be fatal. We confirmed it on Saturday.

I was in two attempts to clear rooms. First time as #3 in the stack. #1 and #2 stopped dead in the doorway and debated how to proceed. They got toasted and a BB snuck between them and got me.

Second time I was #1 and flooded a bath room. The partitions funneled me straight into the gun(s?). There wasn't a #2 following me to shoot the bugger.

I am guessing that during training people listen to the trainers. In the dark people get stupid and stop cooperating. Of course it could of been the inpromptu respawn groups were just too mixed in skill level to be effective. The excitement didn't help either. There were no leaders, only individuals.

5. I liked the 5 person respawn much better then 5 minute respawns at other operations.

Taking my prisoner was awesome. Sucks that admins got shot up as much as they did. Sucks more that we had an injury. Overall, the game was a good time.

[White_Knight]

Sucks more that we had an injury.

We had an injury on Friday night too. An unfortunate soul, who shall remain unnamed for reasons of pride, got shot in the tip of his yogurt slinger.

[Seagreen]

The reason we had an injury Saturday was due to an individual NOT heeding to the safety rules. If we can locate that person, he will be banned from all future events that BSP holds.

Safety is our priority, even above fun.
