[quote data-userid="103" data-postid="67"] The squad is given a stage brief consisting of starting position, number of targets and types, total projectiles required and possible points. [/quote] Here's a sample of what a stage briefing looks like (this was from our match the past weekend), in general a match would have this available for competitors to review and is always the source of truth whenever questions arise.

Great post and thanks for all the info!  I Pinned to the top. I think this is a great piece to Airsoft in Canada that we should be embracing.  I think it really helps legitimize our sport.

Thanks for the info ox

So I played my second game last night with this same gun and had an 11.1 lipo in. It started doing something similar - would not do anything on semi but would reset when I switched to full auto. When I switched back to semi it started doing 3 round bursts! I put the 7.4 lithium ion back in and it sort of worked if I was slow on the trigger but still would go dead throughout the night. It would reset and start working again when I put it on full auto but was super frustrating.

@oxairtech

This sounds amazing.  I had no idea we have this stuff going on in Canada.

Here in South Shore NS, 18 years in Airsoft, originally from Ontario looking for some fun out here :-)

@dbeezy

Would you say the EMP1 Shorties or the Regular EMP1s are more consistent? I bought a couple of the shorty ones and I haven't ran into any issues, is there any things you would recommend I look out for and know in terms of maintenance for them, or is it pretty much the exact same as a regular EPM1 in a smaller form factor?

@oxairtech

I haven't had too much personal experience with either the EPM1 shorties or the regular EPMs, but from the players on the field I see fewer problems with both compared to the 240rounders.  Really just depends on the gun and the factory parts.  Airsoft guns and parts have lots of tolerance inconsistencies, just the nature of the beast, and after all they are just toys, so the same stock combination, may not produce the same results. One of our local player bought a schwack of regular EPMs and could only half load them.  Fully loaded and they just squirted out the barrel, yet in a different stock gun, same make and model, no issue. As for maintenance on the mags themselves. Yes they should be taken apart and cleaned, especially if your a "mag dropper", I've cleaned sand, sticks, leaves, all sorts of debris out of the feed path that will impact feeding. They can be pain to disassemble and re-assemble, especially getting the spring back in, but when you get it apart I use Qtips and silcione oile to make sure everything is wiped down and clean and then dry Qtips and Blue Shop Towel to make sure it's nice and dry before re-assembly.  DO NOT LUBE THEM!!!  Oiled BB's don't hop very well. You can find replacement springs for some models of mags, but very rarely should you have to do that.  I have some 20 year old G&P midcaps still working.

@ZolenPerry

Personally, I like to run .3's at heaviest and .28's at the lightest. I don't go for anything super crazy long range, just to ensure I'm actually hitting my shots before making myself known to everyone else. When I resell BB's on the field though, .32's seem to always be the best seller. People like knowing they're getting the most range out of their BB's, and it really helps knowing what kind of internals or hop up you have so you aren't wasting money on extra weight.

@oxairtech

Nice site!  You do some great work.  Im intrigued about the action air, is it a league?

@F86custom

Thank you for the kind words. Action Air is a sport! A person, party, iPSC hosts an event, shooters register and compete following the rule book. The sport is huge in Hong Kong and the Phillipines, its run in the UK and is really starting to take a hold here in Canada. https://www.ipsc.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/IPSC-Action-Air-Handgun-Competition-Rules-Jan-2024-Edition-Final-27-Dec-2023.pdf We are shooting a match this morning at F-86 today too.

@oxairtech

I'm a big fan of the VFC Avalons and Sabers.  Great quality externals and make great foundations for my custom performance builds. What happened to the G&P, I'm sure it's fixable if you want to get it back up and running.

@oxairtech

@Tayul If you don't have a local tech, I'm happy to look at for you and at least diagnose and quote what it take to get it back up and running like new, or better.  Have to be shipped back and forth, but not a big deal, I do that lots. But typically issues are super insurmountable and be resolved without too much money or effort.  I do love resurrecting older stuff like that. Fire me a message from my site and we can chat about what might work for you. https://oxairtech.ca/contact/

@oxairtech

I feel like that's a natural progression of most airsofters in Canada.  "I bet I can get this cheaper from the US". I've heard a lot of success stories, and a lot of failures too that result in loss.  We have some great importers here that can usually get whatever you want, CQC Tactical or Andy's Airsoft have both brought things in for me.  A bit of wait, maybe a small premium, but it always arrives and I don't have to deal with CBSA. To each their own. I would like to hear more first hand stories either way.

@F86custom

I just received my order of pistols today. Total of 4 hours in customs. 2nd box with rifles is currently held for futher inspection as I type. Tokyo Marui Xtreme full auto, Gold Matches, 4.3's, EMG Stacatto's and a ton of mags and Dr.Black slides. Just breezed through. On the business side there are systems i'm setup in like CARM and my business number is tied to the shipping company. As a player its way harder and my best recommendation is UPS express. (I don't think many Hong Kong retailers are shipping EMS anymore because of shipping issues).

@Desmodus

Mostly because forums are a true record of knowledge. Trying to search for something specific on a Discord or reddit is such a pain in the ass, and I find forums to be far more community-driven. God, it's good to be back.

@Desmodus

How do we generate more traffic to this site? It's dangerously dead here with only a handful of posters really contributing...
