Year of the Radio

I got these used off Ebay. $10 and $8 shipping. Having a radio (and a headset, I got one of these http://www.ebairsoft.com/swimmer-style-headset-with-peltor-p-2548.html) is going to come into play a lot this coming season. Squad channels is where my thinking is, to talk among ourselves. If someone wants to go radio crazy and carry two, so they can communicate with the team commanders, that's great, but I'm more focused on MERC. Being able to find each other, call for help and coordinating attacks. That's the kind of fun I'm thinking about. This brings my radio count to 5 and I have a couple cheap headsets. I'm always happy to lend to the team, just let me know what you need before an event.

Everyone welcome Pienoob, our newest member. He cleared admissions with flying colors having both pants and boots.

Wow, look how many! Some of us are much more casual airsofters, but having a life outside of airsoft (tho astonishing) is 100% acceptable.

Damn you Ebay!

I got a 30 day ban today. Why, because H&K won't let you sell anything that even looks like their products. I've had a couple of 7 days bans in the past and they caught me again.

So if anyone's interested in a GSG-5 (MP5 with a folding stock) it's for sale on AMP

In fact, if any MERC guys are looking for anything cheap, let me know. With our Army Training (OP4) I go thru a LOT of different weapons. Nothing fancy and almost all clone stuff, but if you've always wanted an specific weapon type and only want to pay $50-$100 for it, let me know and I'll give you the hook-up.

There actually should be a good run of free weapons this summer to0. We'll see how things go.

Only about a dozen players, but a good time had by all. Mac won an M324!!! (Because Phill wasn't there to win it).

WELCOME

Welcome all! We're starting out 2010 with a new blog to follow MERC in it's airsoft escapades around the midwest.

As MERC members, we do have a few rules that you abide by:

1. We don't exist. I don't know what you're talking about.

2. Pants are a good idea. Boots usually too.

3. Play with MERC members at events or against them, it does not matter. All that matters is that you have a good time.
