Hey everyone, some of you may know me, some you may not. I was at one time a member of the WAA forums, but either you changed servers and software and started over... or my account was deleted for inactivity.

Regardless, I once lived in Chicagoland and was a member of CAA... then I moved to the other side of Illinois and played only a few times in Chicago each year, and now I have settled in Cincinniati, Ohio.

Basically the reason I signed up for WAA this time was for outreach for my own site. http://www.airsoftspecialists.com.

I'm looking for feedback and authors. I have a request in with some of the moderation staff about another issue as well, so you might see another post by me in other part of the forum sometime soon.

About me.... well. Lets make it short as I can.

Started playing Airsoft in early spring 2003, but got my first "Soft Air" gun in 1987. (one of the Daisy Soft Air line).

In the early to mid 1990's I was an amature paintball tourny player, indoor 3 man CQB, outdoor 10 and 5 man and 2 day scenario play. I quit paintball when the autocockers and automags changed the way the game was being played.

In late 2003 I became the Administrator of Airsoftforum.com and started my own AirsoftSpecialists.com. After going through a couple of different AEGs, I resorted to Pistols only. I am now a dedicated Pistol only player on any field of play, at any range. If you wonder how I can do it... look at the Pistol Only Revolution article at my web site.

My current Loadout consists of:

Replicas:
Western Arms SV Infinity Expert 5" (Field Weapon)
Western Arms SV Infinity Classic Hybrid (Competition/Intimidation piece)
Five 33 round magazines (5X33=165 rounds loaded)

Uniforms:
OD Propper BDU with boonie or AF cap.
OD Original Utilikilt and Flectarn blouse with Boonie.
Flectarn pants and blouse with boonie.
Alpenflage pants and blouse with black cap.
Bates Jump Boots

Combat Gear
Blackhawk Industries OMEGA vest
Blackhawk Hydrastorm Tsunami
Blackhawk ALICE belt
Replica PASGT Helmet
Silk Balaclava
Wiley-X CQC goggle
V-Force Morph PB mask (For use where required)
GBTech Distraction Device gas recharger
Mil-Spec MX-991/u
Motorola 5620
Motorola PTT Earbud

So yeah... take it easy.

People 'll ask me, "Hey Fish, why do ya do it man? Why? You some geardo or something?" Ya know what I'll say? I won't say a goddamn word. Why? They won't understand. They won't understand why we do it. They won't understand that it's about the cordura, and that's it

Now thats hillarious.... :D

Nah, you want funny? Take Maple for example. The guy is Jewish and can't handle his dairy. Not to mention he sucks at airsoft and cries like a baby.

Welcome, Battlepriest. I have been reading your posts over on ASF lately. Do you really wear the utilikilt while playing? I have often thought about purchasing one of those.

I haven't been to a game since I got it, but yes, I will be wearing it to games next season. I almost wore it to my last TAPSS event, but it was just too cold out that day, and I forgot to bring my cold weather kilt hose with me.

The Utilikilt is definitely a must have for those guys...um.... Confident enough to wear one. :)
