    Puding is correct. The website states:

    You must be at least 18 years old to participate in Berget-games. ALL player needs to bring valid Photo-ID or passport to checkin.

    But if you meet the required ages bla bla bla and are thinking of going we signed up to be NAF 23rd infantry :D

    I would most definitely be interested in going. 3 Days after the LC though....
    If I mange to convince my dad to come I will go, I will be a sniper though.
    If I end up going we could possibly go as a group?

    how old will you be fo the event>? I believe berget min age is 18 and their is no option to have a guardian tagging along to allow you to attend any younger

    To confirm; Berget-Events age criteria is strictly 18+, and the whole thing really isn't like a garden-variety skirmish game on a Saturday or Sunday at your local site where your dad can tag along with you and pop in and out of the game for a breather. And if you want to go play "sniper", unless you really know what you're doing with regards field-craft and technical ability, you will hate it.

    Trust me mate, My dad would be able for it, as would I.
    Also I wouldn't be looking for a skirmish, I'd be more full on, as in the whole waiting several hours in a ghillie suit to confirm the enemy position. And I know most missions you wouldn't even be taking a shot. And yes, I love field craft. I do know what I'm doing.

    I saddens me to see people getting a sniper rifle and think they can shoot someone from a mile away and get like 100 kills in a match. It's more about reconnaissance than anything else, at least in milsim. :)

    Thanks for the age confirmation thing.

    Did anyone who went this year (June 2011) encounter any problems at the airport when checking in such as happened last year?

    Yeah another question id have for anyone who went last year did you pack your mags in your gun case or gear bag??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,045 ✭✭✭OzCam


    One-gun-per-case is an airline rule, not a global one. They can sometimes be persuaded to waive it if you ask nicely.

    Mags should go in the gun case. It reassures security staff if batteries are removed from AEGs and packed in either your gear case or cabin baggage. US airlines want batteries in the cabin, not the hold. Don't try to fly with gas, it's not allowed at all. BBs go in the hold baggage, they won't be allowed in the cabin.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 390 ✭✭TerrenceAnth


    So batterys can go in ether the hold or cabin. Im flying SAS so i think ill put it in the hold with the rest of the gear.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,045 ✭✭✭OzCam


    The advantage of carrying batteries in your cabin baggage (weight permitting) is that you can easily show that "here they are in a plastic bag by themselves, with a bit of insulating tape over the connector, not connected to anything".

    If you're putting batteries in the hold, pack them well away from everything else so that when the bag is x-rayed they don't look like they're connected to anything.

    The whole idea is to make things as easy possible for the security screeners. The less friction there is, the faster you'll get through the airport.

    you could just imagine the fun and games of block lipos for example being xrayed, could be interesting :) going to show as chemical with wires ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 390 ✭✭TerrenceAnth


    On that not lipos are going in the hand luggage!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 960 ✭✭✭jayod30


    I was just wondering did anyone who went out previous years bother to bring a back up AEG. I have my primary, gonna get some work done to it before I leave but still think I should bring a back up, carrying 2 cases though bit of an off putter. Would appreciate any advice, thanks
