My First Skirmish

Point Blank, Counter Strike, Left for Dead, and Virtual Cop. Have you ever known about these games? These are my favorite games by the way. Ah, that’s not the point, this time I don’t wanna share about the details of these games. However, it still has connection with these games. People who know these games will know what the connection is quickly, that’s right man… it is all about battle, war, fight, shoot with the gun and defeat the enemy (mostly using a weapon like hand gun, shot gun, riffle, bla bla bla *sorry I have limited knowledge about them, so you can googling it by yourself, LOL). FYI, I do really in love with stuff like that since long time ago.

Remember, these are UNIT not weapon

It happened when a friend of mine (he’s my senior in my college) asked me to join Skirmish, wait… what?? Kismis? (means raisin) didn’t have any idea about he said that time. Later, I knew that skirmish means airsoft war game. So, what is airsoft itself? Have you ever heard what so-called airsoft gun? You don’t know about it? Me neither, HA! Well, maybe next time I will review about it in detail after I get sufficient knowledge and well-informed about it (and if I want to, LOL). OK, back to the topic. When I generally knew that he asked me to join an extremely cool game, I could say nothing but "YES". Last Sunday I finally joined Skirmish. It was… toooooooooo awesome to be described in words. And here’s my story…

As I said before that I had it last Sunday. The plan said that we would start at 10 am, but it was raining, that was the uncoolest part of the day…fyuhh! Fortunately, God knew that I really wanted to feel Skirmish and the rain stopped so we could go to a place called Tinjomoyo. It was a zoo long time ago and it looks like a natural forest, a great place to have a war game. When I arrived at a…. I called it base camp, OK, when I got there, suddenly I felt so worry and a little bit scared. There was a group of men with army look style, they were completed with all the equipments (you can also call them tactical gears). My daddy was an army, I used to see him with his uniform and once his weapon and he didn’t make me scare at all, but they were different. Maybe because it was my very first time I felt that I had no ability and information at all about how to use the weapon, (wait! It is forbidden to call it weapon, because in air soft gun we call it unit) how did the battle field look like and even we didn’t wear the gears as completed as them. FYI, it was just my feeling and honestly, I picture it too much and dramatically, LOL. It’s OK to join them, no need to worry *winking.

 

I was learn how to use the UNIT correctly and it was heavy :D

Before the game began we prepared all the requirements in a place which used to be the office center of the zoo. I got safety vest (I don’t know what its name), goggles to protect the eyes, a unit (I got a shot gun, great!), and the amo (we call it BB). Then I practiced how to shoot, the target was soda can, in 10 shots I hit it 3-4 times, what the…#@$^@$$%$*&*

We started the game, a man who called himself marshal (as what I heard) gave the instruction/ scenario of the game and divided the group into two. Just liked a real battle, my group had a captain who would lead us and set the strategy to accomplish the mission. I liked the atmosphere, the tension and how we moved in the battle field. I didn’t care when I saw my dirty clothes after crawling along the forest tried to stay alive and completed the mission, when too many mosquitoes bit me or when I had to follow the captain in the rain, all of them were awesome! Finally I was hit, (if the opposite team shoots you, you have to say "HIT" and stay where you are. Say "MEDIC" to call the medical to help you, in PB it is called Respawn) and there was no medic who could help me, poor me. And the game ended after the marshal told us that the time was up. Then I knew that we didn’t win the game, haha crystal clearly they had three newbies. We still had two more games after that, all of them were totally terrific.

 

HIT?! No medic? Keep calm and take a picture, LOL

Those men were the members of the club

It was a tiring day, my clothes were dirty, I was hungry (I could eat a horse!), and soooo thirsty. But they were nothing compared to the experience I got, new good-nice friends and more about airsoft gun. Surely, I’ll join them again next time, yeay!!!

 

No comment!

New experience, new friends (y)
