Sadly, I could not find Ryans shell holder thing, but I have not given up yet. With how big it is, it shouldn't be to hard to miss. However, as strange as it sounds, I found a very small pen. This thing looks expensive, something I would really hate to lose, so if someone can PM me details (name, brand, etc.), I will give it back to you at the next op we cross paths. If you cannot remember the name of it or brand, just describe it to your best knowledge. I also found a whole bunch of real old cans, a bottle, coca-cola can, cigeratte butts, lots and lots and lots of bb's (a few green), some ugly looking tiny bugs, some dung here and there, a few team arm bands and a smoke nade can.

Hey Ryan, did you ever walk on the border line or a little past it? Also, what kind of shotgun was that you were using at the end? I wanna buy one of those .

[Grunto]

Yeah, someone had a really badass shotty, I got to experience it from the barrel end in the kidney. ;D What kind was it, and where do you get one of those?

[xaos]

Well...finally home.

First of all...thanks to DD and Gestapo for getting the op together...it went really well, all things considered. Couldn't have asked for a better day (y'know, given the fact that it was Gaylord in November), or better targets Definitely glad I made the drive up.

Despite even more gun troubles (@#$^ing batteries), I managed to have a great time. The first scenario was great, even if it was a bit one-sided, and the later games were quite fun also. Got to meet lots of new people, and hang out with others that I don't get to see too often. Flung bbs all over the place, and caught a few folks completely unawares...and then threw in a mad last-ditch charge for good measure ;D

Re: Ryan's shotgun...it's made by KHC, and pretty tough to get ahold of for a reasonable price. I know there's one guy selling a few on E-Bay right now.

Thanks a lot guys for looking for the shottie shells - I truly appreciate the effort. I was defending the left side of the property if you are facing the field with your back to the house. They are red in a olive drab shell holder and made out of plastic so even if you don't find them until spring, they won't rust.

I had two shotguns there - I had an Tokyo Marui M3 Super 90 in which the outter barrel has been cut down for CQB entry, three inner barrels w/fixed hopup, Bill from 21st custom machined a stainless steel spring guide which fits perfectly, installed a PDI 150% spring to up the fps to about 300-315 fps, and it also had 13 shells - now 8 shells - two shell holders - one on the receiver and one on the buttstock.

My second shotgun was a KHC Mossberg Maverick which you will hardly see anywhere. It is quite a rare item with 4 inner barrels, tactical foregrip, metal mechbox which is rare for a shotgun, bullpup style shotgun that the British use a lot in their police force. This one was a little pricy coming in at $368 but there is no battery needed.

The Marui M3 Super 90 is for sale if anybody is interested now for $300 which includes everything. I know this isn't the correct post for sales but since you asked I thougt I would let you know. I need the money for the CQB league.

I would entertain the Maverick for sale at the right price

I'll be heading out to the property either today or tomorrow to take a look for the shells. When you say left side of the property, were you in the trees on the North side (closer to the house), in the open field or in the trees on the southern end of the open field? That way I'll be able to narrow down my search area!! Have no fear, they will be found!!!

As for January, my Readiness NCO is on leave until next week.... I won't have any info until then.

[glow=red,2,300]Again, I want to thank all of you who made the journey to the first event ever hosted by the Northern Michigan Team's and Black Mesa!!! It was an awesome turnout!![/glow]

Talisman and I are in the planning stages for a weekend event next year!! As soon as we have some of the details worked out, we'll let you guys know!!!

In the trees on the southern end of the open field - away from the house.

[DevilDog]

Dutch-

Roger That! With that info, I should be able to find them! I'll post more after I go out there this afternoon!

[Livonia]

yeah, the ak's were deffinatly the way to go....long range was needed. me and gestapo were allways called upon for the "pick off's"

[Wookie]

Devil Dog and Gypsy, I would like to thank you for putting on a very fun day of carnage and bb mayhem. All in all, I had a wonderful time especially the two defensive actions. If you guys ever decide to have another one, I'll be the first to sign up.

[DevilDog]

Dutch- I spent about an hour looking for the shottie shells this afternoon.. I'll be going back a few times this week to look!! I'll take my kids with me since they can seem to find anything!!!

Thanks Wookie!! We'll be having a few events up here next season!!

[MayhemXXXFrosty (AndrewMp5k)]

Next year (Assuming events take place after May 27th), I will be able to drive ;D. SO I will defitenately get up there this time!
