PYF event

[Alien_Hunter]

Today reminded why I play airsoft. All my gear worked great, everyone was super cool, I got a sh** load of kills, someone gave me a ride back into town. PYF events and why it is your favorite.

I was wondering what the shazaam "PYF" stood for, because the only acronyms that click in my head are YOLO, MFW, TFW, PJ, AFOSC, and DLC.

Then it hit me.


MilSim West events.

Especially the first one, where a BB never left my rifle. Ever.

Except for chrono, and maybe trying to shoot a butterfly or something.

Pick your favorite. And for me, it's a bizzare tie between Tequilla Sunrise and uh.. Fat Rabbit? Hell I forget which Zeus-hosted-in-Lebanon game it was.

Tequilla Sunrise: Myself and a friend kept overwatch on a pinata for the entire game while talking about videogames, youtube, and the mysteries of life. Our conversation was interupted briefly when we had to mow down a 3-man squad that apparently had no idea we were there dispite standing around in the open and talking loudly.

'Fat Rabbit': To be fair, I'm not sure if it was actually fat rabbit, but it was a Zeus-hosted game out in Lebanon. It's the only time I have taken on a 'role' at an event beyond show up and shoot bad guys. I got to be a suicide bomber. Most of the day was bog standard go here, shoot manz, go there, shoot manz. The opposing team though, got their hands on one of the three main bunker and we just couldn't get near it. This wasn't much more than 4 chest-high walls and a door, but it was at the top of a hill with open grass in every direction to the tree line. (Anywhere between 20-100 feet of open grass to the edge of the clearing in every direction, not counting the guys obviously dug in AT the tree line!) It was time to put my role to use. My squad flanked up the edge of the clearing as wide as we could make it without completely leaving the fight, after a solid 20 minutes of spotty engagements while we moved, we were 'above' the bunker on the hill when the command came in to use my particular skillset.

I carefully unslung my MP5 and set it down next to a tree, tightened my Paintball mask (chosen today for this specific role), got to my feet, let out a terrifying battlecry, and sprinted directly into the side of the bunker detonating my charge and wiping out most of the enemy team.

I remember it like an epic movie sequence, but it was more like "Send in the bomber!", "Yes sir!" *Set down gun, adjust mask, Scream like a girl while running full-tilt into the field - tripping halfway and slamming my shoulder into the bunker and losing my eyepro in the procces. Did I mention this was all with an old motherboard duct-taped to my chest as the 'explosive'? And yes.. I totally yelled BOOM! when I exploded.

Yep. Good times and Grand adventures. I love me some Milsim, but sometimes you gotta take it less seriously and just laugh at how stupid it all is.
