Questions .......... ?

Beast ASI · 27-05-2009 11:17am

Anyone know what these guys are like? :P

I've only heard about them in the past few months, they've kept pretty quiet.... A few discussions on their forum concerns me regarding power limits too.

Puding · 27-05-2009 11:39am

so you have a link to the forums beast, i can not seem to access them thought the web site

Beast ASI · 27-05-2009 11:43am

http://nasa.ie/fourms/ - Yes they can't even spell forum.

Upgrading with M140 springs and the like.....

Puding · 27-05-2009 11:59am

was my impression as well

GrumPy · 27-05-2009 12:12pm

Wow, Them there forums scare meh. :pac:

Rhinocharge · 27-05-2009 12:56pm

We made contact with them only recently. They'll be down to us at some stage in the summer to play with all the clubs. Seem like a mature bunch of lads to us.

whydave · 27-05-2009 1:28pm

Well I try not to judge by someones spelling !!
Talked to Peter up in NASA and was more than welcoming

Beast ASI · 27-05-2009 1:29pm

OK, let's keep the thread on-topic.

Tbh my own comment was off-topic earlier, and I'll remove it now.

In fairness none of us were chronoed at Predator the last time we went up either. I got the impression that sites up North aren't as dedicated with regards to chronoing as *some* of the ones down here, probably something to do with the law on muzzle velocity being different up there, the fact that none of us were chronoed, and that some people did appear to be firing a bit hot, didn't take away from the fact that they were a great bunch of lads who played with honour and integrity and that we all had a great day.

Would you judge airsofting at every site in the republic by the rubbish that gets posted on here regularly?

I'm going to reserve judgement until I've played the site and met the lads who run it. If it does turn out to be people upgrading guns with the purpose of hurting people then I won't even stick around for a game, but if it's people just making the most of different laws with regards to power then I don't see the harm.

Oops sorry KD, was writing while you posted.

Its 1 joule up there too. Mainland UK has a higher limit, but Northern Ireland is the same as ourselves.

Well,there goes the plan of heading up to the North with a AEG over 328fps:(:D

cherubaul · 27-05-2009 8:24pm

well to try and get back on topic.
Dave you should have 3 zombie dogs in the cadre barring some form of nuclear disaster or our driver contracting syphillis (again)

looking forward to it.
what type of terrain can we expect?
also will pyro be available on site or will i have to get my own in one of the shops before going?

whydave · 27-05-2009 10:14pm

The site is run by the local Airsoft shop !
all should be good

mafiaboy · 28-05-2009 8:54am

dave have you got the gps numbers ?????

whydave · 28-05-2009 10:02am

15 so far

Dread-Lock · 28-05-2009 5:47pm

Whydave I think Mafiaboy was looking for the GPS coordinates.

Beast ASI · 08-06-2009 8:58pm

Apparently Viper Squad were up on Sunday. Anyone from them available to comment?

A guy on ASI saying that chronoing is non-existent and a lot of people upgrade (E.g M140 spring) to try to be better than anyone else

ASI Casper · 08-06-2009 9:13pm

No Beast, he said it seems to be non-existant, which could simply mean it doesn't happen much.
And I saw no mention of M140 springs ( unless it was edited out before I read it ).

The Master · 08-06-2009 9:17pm

Guys please keep your posts in check.

Do not accuse another site of bad practice without proof.

Example was taken from their forums in the technical bit somewhere.

That being said, site does look decent according to their vids. Looks like a good place to visit, as long as the rest of it is in check.

I wasn't accusing anyone of anything, just stating what someone else has reported. I know he said it seems to be but that guy looks like a regular of the site from their forums and if he's saying it seems to be non-existent then I'd interpret that to be none at all.

FingalAirsoft · 09-06-2009 12:10pm

Yeah Vipers where there on Sunday, lets just say: no chrono and very hot aegs:mad::mad:

whydave · 10-06-2009 3:04pm

sorry I opened this thread

Mods please lock

Dread-Lock · 10-06-2009 4:03pm

Well to be honest I think something should be done about the site instead of just locking the thread and ignoring it.

whydave · 10-06-2009 4:19pm

this thread was started to go to the site . new issues have come up so you may start a new thread if you wish !

ASI Casper · 10-06-2009 5:46pm

The sites alleged problems aside, I 'm hoping to get down to this site for a visit. Likely won't be until Sep / Oct though as my schedule is full and my wallet isn't.

TheDoc · 10-06-2009 7:11pm

(Forwarding apologies to the republicans in the room)

As this site is located in the north, does it not fall out of our governing...and pretty much our care?

I think theres enough to be dealt with down here without taking on the problems of airsoft up north too.

Not being a dick or incencitive, but its outrageous righteousness to think we should have a say in how airsoft is run up there.

I played airsoft in Puerto Rico where its an epic niche, there was no chronoing, no laws relating to it( i think its banned) and no fps limit, and it was just socially good craic.

Upgrading guns is openly discussed on their forums and it was brought up on ASI forums before. If you go there you KNOW your walking into high powered gun territory, but the terrain might be good and you might be have some good craic.

If it was a republican site I'd care, not to say I do not give a ****, just do not feel its our place to be throwing opinions around about it.

Then again this site seemingly does break the laws up there, knowingly, and rather publicly, and since we are responsible airsofters we shouldnt talk about it or go there etc.

Suprised its taken this long to have this thread modded or locked...considering its probably screaming out " MOD me before I implode" and anyone worth their salt would know bout this site from the ASI story.....

Dread-Lock · 10-06-2009 8:46pm

Well what I was thinking is if the authorities get wind of it they might just assume its happening everywhere and cause a load of hassle for sites.

(And its been said hundreds of times that these forums are read by the authorities, so don't just assume they'll never find out).

Thread locked at OP's request.

Should others wish to discuss this site in another thread they may do so as long as they stay with boards.ie rules and the airsoft charter
