Calgary?
 

Hi, I was wondering if any one is playing in the Calgary area, i know there is JOC and TAC OPS but i cant seem to get in contact with any of those groups, mainly because the place on flint road had a car run through the place, Any ways it would be greatly appreciated if someone could leave some contact info so that i can get in the game

Thanks

Do you mean that Laser Trek had a car run through it?

No. Heres where you get in contact with JOC members. Teh forums!

Myself and a few others run games once a month right now and are trying to get more people for a 2nd week game. If your up to it you can contact me and I can give you some more info. Were not a hard core milsim type were just a group of friends that like to hang out and shoot each other. But more people are always nice to meet.

There's JOC Airsoft and Coalition Airsoft (aka Sasquatch). You can meet some of them at Lasertrek.

I only play outdoor games.

Tac Ops got absorbed into JOC, just in case you were wondering.

ok thanks for all the help, does any one know of any outdoor events comming up, milsim or not?

We gave you the website already, why don't you just go there?

JOC and Coalition have outdoor games practically every single Wednesday and every single Weekend. Right now Cleric runs an outdoor game every Wednesday night at Bragg Creek paintball. For Coalition games, you'll have to meet their members at Trek, they are invite only. There are JOC games and milsims on weekends every now and then. Battlefield 5.5 is on July 18th at Weekend Warriors by Olds/Didsbury.

Here are the pics from Battlefield 4.

There are a bunch of guys getting together to play on Sunday, as per usual. Down at Laser Trek on Flint Road.

ok this is a bit off topic... but where the hell do you guys find the Troop carriers and Hummers?! Or is it just alot of pooled money from the club?

Surprised I have not seen any Lepord C2's or M1a1's.

What time does everyone usually get together? I'll have to stop by and meet everyone.

There are JOC run minisims at Rampage Paintball Outdoor on Sunday July 12th which is North of Okotoks starting at 11AM. Do you have a gun or gear? You can come and get Age Verified by Gish who is the admin running it. A couple of guys got Age Verified on the Wednesday game at Bragg Creek also.

I was hoping to get a gun within the next week or so. Not too sure what I want to buy, but I was hoping something.....deicent.

Where do you guys usually get your Gear and BDU's from?

Lots of players play their first couple games without any gear or BDUs. A bunch of guys came in hoodies and jeans last Wednesday and even stayed when it rained!

Most people buy their gear online. If you are in a pinch and need stuff in Calgary there is Crown Surplus and Seal's Action Gear which are local stores (but pricey).

All you Calgary guys, just register on JOC and you might be able to find a rental from somebody. That's what 2 guys did last game.

Most of the people start to get there around 7. Games happen from then on.

If you are looking for a much tighter forum community, you should definitely register on the JOC forums. The guys over there are just as friendly as ASC and communicate well.

Yeah, I registered over there, thanks for the advice. Im probably going to buy a rifle today or tomorrow.

A Friend of mine has a near brand new TM M14 OD with everything included. Whats a good price to pay for one of those? I think he used it once.

lol where did he get it from?

M14s tend to be rather long rifles, which would make it hard to move around with in Laser Trek. Also, Laser Trek has a velocity limit of 320 FPS with .2 gram BBs. Ask your friend what velocity the gun puts out at.

You can use the m14 outdoors. A TM m14 is worth quite a bit. $500+

Haha, he wont say. Its probably best not to ask.



I think Im going to pass on it for now, Im just going to go with something lower end and cost efficient first. I wont make the same mistake I made with guitar, when I went out and bought a $3500 gibson, and broke my hand a month later hahaha.

That's a strange analogy because I found that airsoft guns are like guitars. You get what you pay for when you are starting out. If you start out with crap, you won't enjoy yourself as much, you'll end up spending more money anyway to get up to par, and you won't learn as quickly.

Airsoft is like Guitars because its an addiction. You never stop at one. You see one on a film, or perhaps you've always wanted a particular rifle and gotta have it. I had 5 guitars, ranging from $100 SG clones, all the way to $3500 Gibson. I bought them because someone famous imfluenced me to 'must have' it. In the end circumstance turned them all into expensive decorations. I sold all but one. I've also grown up since then.

Point is, I just dont want to spend $1000 for example and find that airsoft just isn't for me. However, the most important lesson I've ever learned, is the more you play, the better you get. They better you get, the more you WANT to play.

I heard there's a game around Bragg Creek Sunday, July 19. But it's a game for newbies so I'm not sure if you want to join or not.
