Lute force.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
If it doesn't work, you're just not using enough. You're
listening to soft web Radio, Special Operations, Military Nails and
straight talk with the guys in the community.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
What's going on.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
My name is Rad and I am here at eight
oh one Airsop and I'm hanging out with our main man,
Chris Nabrich right here.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Everybody give him a round of applause.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Thanks for having me in.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Hey, thanks for traveling all the way from Austria to
come visit us here. I know you're on a North
American tour. You just got done seeing Canada and Mexico
in Chihuahua.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Exactly, how was that? A lot of flying? So it
was literally coming to Montreal playing one day, then flying
to Toronto playing Monday, then flying to Chihuahua playing Monday,
and on here. So it's just playing, flying, playing flying,
playing flying.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
So it sounds like a good problem to have.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It's like it's basically sleeping on a plane and resting,
recovering from the game, and as soon as you wake up,
I'm at a game again.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Right, and now we have you here to be interviewed.
This is Have you done this before? Have you ever
had an interview sit down like this.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Oh yes, a couple of times sometimes already.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
So for those of you that know Nowich has a
nowich on YouTube, you can go check out the channel
and see all of the different action and gameplay.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Norwich.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
If you're watching this for the first time, I don't
know what he comes from, go check him out because
he has really elevated the airsoft game to be just awesome.
He shows his point of view footage of shooting the
opponents with his sniper cams. He has a facing camera
that allows you to see his movement and his breath
and what he's up to. No, Rich, really, thanks for
(02:03):
all you have done to help grow the sport so
that people here in Utah are gonna be outside to
come and have a good time with you today.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Bro, this is why you're awesome. Thank you for coming.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Thanks so much for us.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yes, I hope you're I hope you're blushing now. I've
been playing war games for a very long.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Time, right, I've been doing it since like two thousand
and one. But even as a littler kid, we would
play Capture the Flag. That's you know, like capture the flag.
You know, you know, tag you're it. But now we
do it with airsoft guns. All those games can now
be played with an airsoft gun. Let me let me
let me ask you a question. So, Rhett, he wants
to know you've been around Europe and in the US. Now,
(02:42):
what country do you feel has the best airsoft gameplay
in your opinion.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
The best airs off gameplay? That's a tough one, Okay,
I think Annoyd. I've been to Ireland lately, and I
think this is going to be very controversial opinion, but
I like the one school power limit there. So there's
a there's a legal limit of one school, which I
think that's not great. It's a legal limit by the government. Right,
(03:10):
But because now fields are for us to use one
shoe guns, it really opens up the sport to a
much broader audience.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Right.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
So when I get hit by let's say, four hundred
fps gun like a one point five gun, it it
almost feels naturally, right. I've been hit so often that
I don't know, it doesn't bother me anymore. It's not
the pain is I almost don't feel it anymore. But
you get someone new, you know, it's like, hey, let's
let's try for the first time, and you should have
been a four un fps gun at like five meters
(03:39):
right right. So that I think is quite a limiting
factor for the sport in a way of making it
bigger than it is right now. And because in Ireland
they can't do that because the airs of community wants
they're into it. They kind of strive for more power,
they want more arrange.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
They want of course they want to increase exactly, they
want the four fust Yes, give them the full thrust Ireland,
come on.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Do it exactly so, not because they're one suo pole
restrictions same like in Japan. Yeah, Like in Japan, you
see much more girls, many more girls at Yes of games,
a younger audience, and I think it's.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Great at World Yeah, a little bit more of a
mix of the people that can come and play where
it's like not so brutal in their mind maybe. I mean,
I've still seen one jewel knock out a tooth, right
and I've seen four four hundred feet per second knock
out at one point five yewels like.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Teas maybe don't care about it that much. They get
knocked out anyway, so they get a direct tute. But
it does make like it's not even that that your
skin breaks too much or something. It's just that sensation
of the pain when people are not used to it.
You know, they might play the first game and they
get five bevies I don't know the chance or something,
and to just go like what the fuck, Like, well,
(04:53):
it's mind done.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
I usually say, it's not.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
The first beab that hits you, it's the other thirty
that are behind it. You get by that first one
of it's like, you're overkilling me. It's like, no, dude,
I just killed you. I just shoot shot you thirty times.
And if you have a team of ten people and
all ten people are shooting thirty rounds at one person,
that dude hits him, all those other rounds are still
(05:15):
coming at him.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
It's not quite overkill. It's just tactics. So a lot
of people are like, oh, it's.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Overkiller or you're overkilling You're shooting me over and over
and over again. It's like, nahdad, you just got the
flurry of the rest of the bebi's coming at you. Okay,
it's not overkill. You just that's what was coming at you, right,
So what do you think about Like vehicles in Airsoft,
I have a tank, we take it out to large
skill war tank. Yeah, we have a tank, like what
kind of thing Ajax? You met Ajax and he has
(05:42):
gone into the warehouse with a welder and he came
out like iron Man with a tank. So we took
in his Zuzu Rodeo suv looks like a Toyota four
runner and then he up armored the whole thing all
the way around it and now it looks like something
nineteen fifties Japanese amphibious.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
You know what that reminds me of. There was this
I who took a bulldozer and built a tank out
of it and then ran into a city and too
local police station.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
That's what his name escapes me. But it is real.
That is real.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
He took a big dozer armored it up in Colorado
over taxes. Something about taxes sounds about his business. Yeah,
you know, I feel the same thing, same thing. So
we go out to these large games like Operation Line
Clause or any of these millsim West or anything like that,
and there's vehicles, but they're always dropping people off.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Behind our lines, and we're like no more.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
So we built an anti personnel, anti vehicle mechanized vehicle
that holds four on the inside a turret gunner which
is full three sixty Ajax patented our own forty milimeters
grenade launcher for it. It's patented, and then he we
take it to these games and now we can take
out their vehicles before they drop off the enemy behind us.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yeah. So it's like the nuclear bomber bears like a
chalk Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Yeah, we have a forty millimeter It shoots four Mike
mic either the grenades with the bebies or we have
a specific almost tennis ball.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
It's just small like this, forty milimeters our logo on it, Hitch.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
You can pick it up and be like, yeah, dude, Yeah,
it's pretty fun. And we do a lot of war
games out in the desert, and so you also do
a lot of outside war games. A lot of questions
since you've been coming here to me on the instagrams
have been like, is.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
He gonna go outside and play with us? Rad?
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Why is he playing indoors? Can you answer that? How
can you're coming to fight here with rad indoors?
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I don't know?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Isaid I'm coming? And but I do like inness as well, Like,
don't get me wrong, I feel like the appeal of
indoor games is that they don't take up the whole day. Yeah,
because an auto game it's you know, you drive far
and you really you take your hole set of it, right,
maybe two day game, but that also limits you in
doing it after work, you know, you don't really do Okay,
(07:51):
let me drive all two of us after five after
a long birthday and play an all the res of game. Right,
So that's my appeal on the industry. Could yeahs like
very lights, you know, just put on a mask, get
a show up lights, gun, run it all you've done
and and.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Just go back on. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
And going out to the desert is a little bit
more of a get into a convoy, follow the convoy
to the place, you know, and that's all airsoft to us.
Just the drive is Airsoft. You're just like trying to
get to the air Soft venue.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Talk about a top of buckings on the way, Yeah,
yeah exactly.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Or you like get stuck in the snow and someone
has a toe rope because they're prepared out in the
desert to pull you out of the snow. You know,
there's a lot of things that happen when you're convoying
out there.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Do you chess plan, Like, can you just go on
and descent and chess play? Yeah, so you don't need Okay,
this is my land or.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I have five hundred acres that is a private land.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Because who play in private lands? Yeah, you can't just
go on it.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Well we can.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
There are places that we get together as a group
and then fight.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
We just don't disclose those.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
And then we all have forums like Utah Airsoft on Facebook,
and then you go on there and then you can
just see where the events are and then typically you meet.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
At like a gas station.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
But is there cover in the deserts.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Trenches? There's natural ravines? Yeah, all the washouts and you
know you have like juniper trees that are like are
that are out there all over the place.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Just desert style environment.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
And at night when the sunset's going down and you're
on patrol with night vision getting ready to put them on,
it's just a beautiful scenery. You're just like in the
woods with a homie just walking around like that's a
great sunset shot. You're like, I should be paying attention.
So so let me ask you. We do so much
(09:38):
night vision games. I'm sure you're aware of all of
the different night.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Videos that we've done. What do you think about night
vision and thermals in airsoft?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I tell you they're very hot to come by in Europe.
I seek in America is very easy, right, but there's
like all of these export restrictions that they're really good
stuff we can't even have in Europe. Yeah, I'm not
too experienced because it's honestly, I've played his night visions,
but I'm not the kind of guy who knows a
kid like this generation of this generation and I try
you know.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
We'll have to. We'll have to let you try these on.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
We'll kill the lights in here and let you check
it out and you can, you know, move These are
white foster for I believe there's steel industry dual tube
nods and uh, this is one of This is an
airsofter's kit. This is just one of the guys, those
guys out there that have full on thermals and they
just see your soul. You look like a bunch of
hot cheetos. You're looking out there. You're like a bunch
of hot cheetos running around. It's just so have you
(10:29):
ever U? I guess we need to get you out
here for a night game. That's what's we'll do that.
We'll do that. Let me put those up there. Thank
you Mitch for the nods on the skull. Thank you
Ajax for the skull. That's a Thas exclusive skull.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
By the way.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Also, I mean, I'm just gonna talk about some of
your kit bro. You just got really cool stuff. Let's
just talk about it, because this noverwich SSP five six
inch is legit.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
You you're doing your best so much.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
And in the beginning you probably had setbacks and you're
just like, I'm chasing this situation. That's just like how
do I stop a gas gun for malfunctioning or having
to come back to me? You know what I mean,
or to you or to any of us. We just
wanted to work out the door. And what I tell
people here in Utah is we play in the coldest
weather all year round, and all I need is like
(11:26):
three to six shots from my pistol to work, okay,
because I'm using my main gun and if you get
too close, I just got to.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Get to a pistol.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Do you guys use electric crystols?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Not so much, not so much.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Just they're really popular in Europe. But I found like
they'll not popular in US.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Yeah, it's parts are a little difficult to repair them
for us. So if they break down.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Which they don't really break down this thing and then
they have sometimes.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
They don't fit in the people's already holsters that they
already have. It's a little fatter. You know, this is
a little bit of a different mill spec. So that
that is a thing, right, you know, you want to
have your stuff. So if you had a holster for
an electric gun that was slender, well.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
We i mean just does a couple of by now.
But the team is actually slimmer. It's slimmer than the typical.
The teen is slimmer and it actually fits into a
standard and it has a semi and full auto option.
Exactly you have to run it on foot to be fair,
like on two you don't get the trigger response that
you want, see, so you just run.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
And another thing is that here in Utah, really we
have a semi auto rule.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
So if it's point blank, it's only semi.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
If you have a full auto function on your pistol,
it now becomes a primary and in our rule set
you can only have one primary.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
You know that there's pint doesn't matter it's for jewels.
It's zero four like apiece are very weak. There's almost
no way did you get them above zero point five?
Even with tuning, you you can't really do it. So
that's why. But I played a they allow because they're
know that weak, right, that just don't hurt these things. Yeah,
(12:58):
like you still feel them because there's a volume of
he's coming into right. But the fact that you can
have a one hundred rund magazine that is barely anyway.
You can have so many of them right right, they
always run. There's no coul on. It's and we still
a point for a tool. You will be surprised half
I bb flies. We still a point for a too.
You can still reach out to like forty meters effectively.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Sure hundred twenty feet for us here in the US
forty meters. I'm just breaking it down. I'm just breaking
it down. I got you, I got you.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
That's why they also popolo. Right, it's such a It
might not be the coolest site on because it doesn't
do all the cool.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
That's actually good for me. I don't mind them not racking.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
But it's at just playing and getting bobies out there.
I think it's the most efficient side of it can.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Well, we have had them through the shop at eight
oh one Air Tactical Air saftiply we have max for them.
And also they're purchased and come into us and they're like,
do you have the extra parts for it? You know,
sometimes the kids can't come in to buy it from us,
so the mom and dad's give them the phone and say,
just go buy it here with my credit card and
get it done. Otherwise that kid.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Would want to come to me, wouldn't you You come to.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Me here, or you'd go straight to knob at his
location and buy it. But you're forced to buy it online,
and so we're cool with that. The only thing I
require when someone comes out to my games is that
they call their hit. You don't have to buy from me.
You don't have to buy from me to fight with me.
And just because you buy from me doesn't mean you
can't come fight with me. There's one thing that qualifies,
and that's just calling your hit. Respect, integrity, and safety.
(14:21):
Well sat So whether you're nine or ninety nine, just
don't cry about it.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
I don't want no tears. I don't want to see
you weeping.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
I don't want any well, I'd rather mop up your
blood than your tears. So as long as you're not
gonna cry about it, nine or ninety nine, bro, step up,
get into the fight.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
So nine, if I'm yeah, this.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Is the mea Grinder, you're in the meagrinder, right.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Do you need to bring your parents if you're mine?
Speaker 4 (14:44):
So the waiver on file, so we have a disclaimer saying, hey,
if you're gonna come fight here, sign this waiver and
it says in there you could die. I've had people
who have collapsed in here because they're out of shape,
or they didn't know they had something wrong with their heart,
or they did know they had a a fib turned
to a v fib and then they just collapsed right
here on me. And I hear a ceasefire and I'm like,
why is there a ceasefire?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I'm in charge. They're like, man down. I'm like, oh,
cease fire.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
So we came over to this spot right here where
we're sitting, and the dude had all of his gear on, helmet.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
All black, all black, all black, and it was a blacked.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Out game so there was no lights on and we
were just doing a tack light only game in here.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
For seven minutes.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Okay, next thing, I know, man down and then we
turn all lights on and we are assessing him, and
I said, everybody go back to the staging area unless
you're essential personnel, which is just me and Mitch, and
we're calling nine one one. We just don't need to
be overcrowded. And there was a dude he's like, I'm
a doctor. He was in here fighting with his son,
and I was like, okay, you can stay. And so
he comes over and he's like, rad help me. So
(15:39):
we take this young man. We pull his neck, we
stretch him out, we get him to he starts to
get him to breathe really he's just like having these
like this fit on the ground. Now he's breathing, he's
letting go of all of his fluids. He's in convulsions.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Yeah. Yeah, he's nineteen, six foot.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Four, blonde hair young man. His call signs mister Utah.
You know who you are, okay, because he looks like
he should be mister Utah. But he just went down
with a bad heart. Still lived, but for that moment
he wasn't. And it was very like, you know real.
That's so the doctor comes up to me and he's like, rad,
I had no idea. This was after we cleared out
with the EMTs and got him on the stretcher and
(16:18):
he went to the hospital. The doctor was like, rad,
I'm a retired major from Bobraam air bases where all
of the ied victims would come to me first. In
Afghanistan Iraq. He's like, I'm the first doc that sees
those guys. I had no idea. Today was going to
put me right back into that taking off gear, taking
off helmets, taking off these guys. And I was like,
(16:38):
I'm so happy you were here playing with your fifteen
year old son. You know his cause Hill Air Force
face is right here and so he was just here.
It just was a circumstance. So we're really happy that
mister Utah made it. But airstop man, a lot of
us get up off the couch thinking I can go
do this, and then they go out into the desert
with us, or they're crawling around on the ground, or
they're just in here and next thing you know, there's
(17:00):
and they don't realize how much sweat they're sweating, or
they're dehydrated, or they're just not taking care of themselves.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Prior to the fight.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
So I mean, you know, if you're watching and you're
really caring about yourself, you should go at least outside
and walk in the mountains or go for a hike.
Some mental health is always possible with you know, going
for a swim, exercise is good for you, especially if
you're gonna get into airsoft.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
And I don't mean to steal the.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Cast here, but the reason why we created our tank
was so that our injured friends on the team who
had heart issues, whose wives would come to me and
say rat For some reason, my husband won't listen to
me at home, but he listens to you. Can you
just not run him so hard at the game? So
I go to my buddy Ajax and I'm like, well, Ajax,
so what do we do about this? And he goes
(17:44):
into the blowtorch mode and makes the tank. And now
my guys that had heart issues are blown out knee.
They're just the thing. They could just sit in the
tank with air conditioning, bro and they could just sit
there and be a whole part of it.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
On the radio, Roger that twelve o'clock.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
From the tank's point of view, where's the turret or
one of them? Can just sit there and spin the turret.
So really airsoft, I just want to say, is for everyone.
It can be for everyone, but you have to just
know your limits.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Yeah, I mean I had a guy in a whee
chop playing as well, and that also worked, like just
pushed him.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
And yes we had we have a young man who
also nailed me. He's in a tank wheelchair. It's got
the tracks on it. And so we're up at a
Vietnam game that I was putting on in the top
mountains of Utah, and he wanted to come fight, and
I was like, come on out, we'll make we'll figure
it out. I wheeled him up in his tank chair
into an ambush position with an MP five K. I said, eighth,
(18:34):
it coast to that field right there. You just mow
it down, bro, and his hand just barely. Really, he
just mow him down. That was airsoft for me. You
know people who can play and have a good time
and just love it and and and you inspire so
many to go play, right, I thought it was me, No,
it's him. Right, You're out there putting so much consistency
(18:55):
and gameplay footage and just you know, you're not a
you're not a you're not saying anything negative about the sport,
and if it's you know, you're just always just like
this is the sport. You're not like saying, oh, this
person isn't really calling his hits or this hit list
or anything like that. It's just like you're playing.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
We do try it. It's very tempting you to do content,
to do that kind of content. It's very tempting because
it works. But ultimately it puts I don't only put
in any bad light on anyone, because I think it
does still give the sport exposure, even though it's maybe
not the best exposure, but it still brings people to
the sport in the end. Sure, however, I think many
people see it and think that is right. Oh I
(19:32):
go to an game, I'm gonna get into a fist fight. Yeah,
so that's just ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
It is.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
But I still, ultimately I think it's still better to
have that content than to not if anybody content, right,
So I think it's and it's positive for the community.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Still.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Sure, it's just you know, play with respect to one another,
don't call each other names on because when we split
up teams, we split up fathers and sons and so
this dad's over here, now his son's over here.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
That sounds like cheater.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Who yelling at yelling at your dad on the team
over there is your dad, the cheater who's yelling at No.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Well, then shut your mouth, right.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
We have a rule here that if you call me out,
you call yourself out, and then we walk off the
field right then and say what happened? Well, rad, you're
wearing six knee pads, four play carriers, and two helmets.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Man, you didn't feel your hit.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
I just got to let you know at this point
that it's worth me pulling myself out to call you out.
And I'll be like, okay, let me get rid of
all the head helmet gear and everything like that and
just not let that happen again. Warning, right, And maybe
never happens again, But sometimes people do happen, or sometimes
that person's always the one saying something, and so we
nip it in the bud by saying if you say
something to anybody, you pull yourself out.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
It just nips it in the bud. Hey, terminator up armored?
Hum v Wait. I can't say those things to you.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
I can't call you RoboCop because that's meaning that you're
not calling your hit or how close were you?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Well? Is this game based off integrity? Is it?
Speaker 4 (20:56):
It is right calling your hit? Then trust how close
I am and I know what my weapon shoots. Bye,
see you later. Don't cry about it. I don't want
to mop up your tears. Okay, So if I get
up to you and shoot you, you have to trust
me to know that I know the rules of my weapon,
just as if you come up a knife for me, Like, bro,
what was your engagement disiness on that knife in the
middle of the game. No, don't talk to me while
(21:17):
I just killed you. Don't don't give away my position.
Don't sit there and bring up anything. Just just die,
just and just go back to respond and then come
get me.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Yeah, okay, okay, that's it. You don't just say nothing
to nobody.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Now, let me burn through these questions since I have
you for such a little limited time. So thanks to
Mitch for the night vision questions, thanks to Rett for
the what world is best to play in? And we
got Ireland out of that Alex shike? How much wood
could a wood chuck chuck? If a woodchuck could chuck,
(21:50):
would These are from Instagram.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
By the way, how much can roots? How much woots kim?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
How much would?
Speaker 1 (21:57):
How much woots could wots chuck chuck? If a woodchuck
coot chuck wood? That's easy.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Is it an extra question you want me to answer
for you? Let me you want me to answer it?
A woodchuck wood chuck all the wood. If a wood
chuck could chuck would that's how it goes.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
And woodchuck wood chuck all the wood. If a woodchuck
chuck wood, that's right.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
But a woodchuck could not chuck wood. Yeah, it's like
a beaver. Yeah, yeah, So how much woodchuck could a
wood chuck chuck if wood? It's like a yeah, that's
the that's the that's to give you an idea.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Thanks Alex Shike. That's for you, homie in Wisconsin. We
love you.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Keep playing air soft in Wisconsin and keeping it going
up there. Keep up the ri I s out there, okay, bro,
love you, Alex Shik, Alan Emlett. Any future collaborations with
AJAX Customs, Ajax myself, you know, other than being here
and collaborating.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
I would I would love a shirt off the both
of us. Oh I love the rock and roll T
shirt right here. Yeah, I love it. Thank you, It's
coming your way, no stress, let's see here.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Thank you, Alan logan as ask him what made him
get into starting a YouTube channel and if he has
any tips or a tip for someone to start one.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Okay, what made me get into it? So there was
a French YouTuber called Roman five six who is the
ogi of airs of Gameplay with multiple camera angle one
more time five six French French guy, and he was
the first person to put a camera. We see him
onto a gun recording those hits. It's a very basic video.
It's like two minutes long, I think, and it's just
(23:30):
the zum cam footage and it has like, I don't know,
ten million fuse right, because it was the first of
its kind. That guy then started putting multiple cameras on him,
so he was the first person to put a selfie
camp and a hedge camp. And then he then he
created the format of airs of gameplay, right, telling a
story with multiple camera angers, with subtitles and all that.
And that guy made five videos and then just stopped.
(23:51):
He just disappeared and never did it again because he
got two kids and the wife and the whole she
and again. And I watched all of these videos at
least I don't know, five times each and I wanted
I don't know, I just felt like someone needs to
continue to inspired you exactly.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
So this is really like we all have to be
really grateful. Like the game that guy started, it's because
that guy. Maybe it would have started a couple of
years later and the spot would be I think it's
a lot smaller because those airs of gameplay, especially the
big ones. I do really think they grew the spot
to a massive degree now, Yes, like really gives the
sport explosion.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
You know, seeing games that are online like you know
in Burgette, you know, like these big games that are
out there, uh you know, or a Lion Clause game
or a mill Sim West or an American Mills sim,
these large games that are trying to like even go
into cross national borders to play here in Utah.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
We've really been doing it for like a long time.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
It seems like sixteen years of running ops every other
weekend out in the desert and then uh in here
almost every single day.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
So thousands and thousands and thousands.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Of hours of training are young men and women and
older dudes to go in and fight airsoft is what
we're pumping out here.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Just to have a good time. Brone that smile.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
That's what I do for on that On that tip
on when do you start going? The thing is to
people keep asking me this, but I tell you I
could not pull this off a second time like on
this size, because that the only reason why it worked
back then is because no one did it right, right,
just no one did it. So I was the only
not the only one, but the only one who did
it of one of the few people who did it
(25:20):
consistently correct at that time.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
So I think right now it's if you start a
YouTube channel, don't hunt for fuse. I think that's the
biggest tip that I can get because it's become extremely
difficult to get rich. So really just do it because
you like doing it. Create the contact that you that
you like doing. But don't say, okay, I have to
I don't know a rabbit costume and run and they've
(25:43):
gone to get fuse even though I don't enjoy it. Right,
Just do whatever you have fun with and.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Keep it that way. So consistency, that's it. Just consistency
of what you love to do and just have at it.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yes, just because if you don't enjoy what you're creating,
you're not going to be able to be consistent anyways.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Correct that. I love that. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
I mean I've been doing YouTube since two thousand and six,
right our channel has been going on.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I saw a night vision video we spled like a
couple of million fuse yeah really first one of the
first ones.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
So Ajax mounted night Vision onto a camera back then,
no one was doing that. And then we went and
attacked our compounds out in the desert out of home
v's with tracer units and it just shows everything like
night fighting. And then that got ripped off and it
was used as propaganda for the Iraq Afghanistan war, saying
that it was al Qaeda versus Marine Corps. And somebody
(26:32):
stole it and put background noises of and all different
types of Arabic language in the background, and.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
I was just watching it tick.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
First of all, good job on the editing, Okay, I
wish I could do that and just like steal my
own stuff and put some background music.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
I'm just a one tape guy.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Second, it got put onto these other popular media websites
as actual combat footage, so they had like.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Forty million views.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
And then all of a sudden one day I go
to my YouTube, my sweet innocent YouTube channel, and it's
like one hundred and fifty six comments.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
I'm like, wow, let me go look at that. I'm excited.
And next thing you know, it's.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Like like this if you came here from liveleaks dot com.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
I was like, what's going on at live leaks?
Speaker 4 (27:12):
And I go over there front page our Airsoft war
game and thousands of comments and people saying like God
bless you Marines, and like hey, someone's like, no, it's Airsoft.
This is rad out of Utah with Airsoft guys, and
people are.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Going back and forth.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
No one's reading the comments. They're just like, God bless you,
God bless you. What a most intense firefight. So when
we can pull it off like that, okay, when our
simple little war that's that was just like eight minutes
of what we've been doing for so long.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah, no calling, they got a little muzzlefest to kill.
Then just you know, i'pload a back cut video of
a minute that doesn't look.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Anyway, no, no, And then BBC hit me up and
they asked for permission to use the footage so they
can make a reenactment of the hostage siege of the
oil refinery in Africa where it happened like two thousand
and nine twenty ten eleven. There was like a siege
and the Says had to go in at night and
they rescued all of the oil workers and everybody off
(28:09):
of the situation. So they used our night footage of
the tracer units going back and forth.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
They're flyway too slow anyway, Yes, that's what they said.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
But to the average person who's just out there watching,
they're just like, oh, you know, oh that's what I
just saw.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
That must be real. That's how it is.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Okay, So there you go, logan als. That was for you,
Jeff Slack K Factor, he's going to be here today. Man,
let me just say, K Factor has been also someone
who is like you, passionate.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I know that that's a channel.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
It is a channel.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
He's gonna be here to be here. He he also
shoots sniper style footage.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
He is.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
But that guy is gonna be content in a long time, right.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
He still makes content, but you know he's probably got
to chase it. You know, he's he was doing so
much content K.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Fact, I remember, but it's a very old channel, right, yeah,
it is. I think I used to.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
And he does the overlay of the stories and talks
about how the attacks and I'm laying. I call him
an elk, so you would be an elk. I'm an elk.
So in the game, that means that we're the Elks.
Bro people want our rack, they want it, they want
it on the wall.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
There's people who can just go out and like kind
of hunt pheasants.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Okay, but we're the Elks.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Okay, We're like, they want the horns of us, but
they're not going to get them because we're Elk.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
That kind of deal.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Right, He's an elk. You guys are your chameleons. You
guys are piles of leaves and I have to step
on you to kill you. In the Airsoft game, okay,
so I hunt that. I listened for snipers. I listen
for the of the one shot. I'm like over there,
and then I listen, I hear another shot, and I
can tell because just a single bull action shot.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
And so then I start hunting those guys. Same with thermals.
If you got thermals, I'm gonna un line for today's
Oh yeah, So Jeff slack.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
He says, how a small town guy can get a
chance come to a launch event for you? And uh,
if that's a possibility. So he wants to know if
you ever like have a launch event, if someone like
him could come and be a part of that.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
We could actually do a launch event in the US
at some point. We always did it in Europe.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
But that okay, cool? All right case actors, that's a
shout out for you, bro. Okay, Jeff, Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
So what k factor? We could also so we do
fly in influences from a little bit about to launch
launch events in you know, so Manchester?
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Yeah, okay, just reach out to Christen, see what's uping
make it happen? All right, it's on you now, bro Okay.
Alison Prior, I don't know if you've eaten it.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
It's a Utah favorite. I don't think you've had it yet.
I wish I had a bottle of it. Alison, what
do you think of fried sauce? Have you had any
fries sauce yet? He hasn't?
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Is it? I got him?
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Pink? No?
Speaker 1 (30:52):
No no?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
And you dip your fries in it here? You never
have it? No?
Speaker 1 (30:55):
No, you can Okay?
Speaker 3 (30:58):
One day, so we'll get him. We'll see.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Okay, hold on thought and calm it down below if
you think he likes it or not, and I'll put
up a follow up to that.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Okay, but calm it down below.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Uh will he come play an outside Utah Airsoft game?
He's already here. What is the one thing he'd like
to see removed from Airsoft?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
One thing I would like to see removed from Azoft?
I think calling all the people calling out people, it
really stops the game for it.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Just so if you say something to someone, call yourself out.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Yeah I liked it.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Who's gonna say, you're not gonna say nothing? Oh it's me,
it's my gun. I failed.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
I should get up closer. I didn't hit them. I
wasn't with engagement. Just it's your fault. Chalk it up
to that. It's integrity. If you shot at me and
I don't call it, please believe that you probably didn't
hit me. You gotta believe me, because if you're gonna
believe me for shooting you, it's an integrity game. Without integrity,
there's no sport. If you can't call your own hit,
what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (31:55):
That's it? It's the game.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
Relies on that, so please do that. You promise the
sport when you play it, to call your hit. I
would say bad attitudes, and that's usually people who.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Think that they're hitting somebody that they're you know, it
also looks like it, you know, especially since I'm running
a camera. I realized that, you know, in the cameo
bitch like I I the guy. But then he watched
the video and you see man as like its week
two medias ahead of the guy, and it just you know,
just drops him from just misses him right here, right.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
I hit him in the gun. You know, the gun
doesn't count, but he hit it in front of his body.
So there's all of these it's very reality that it's
actually someone where you see he blinches and he actually
felt he's not calling it. It's very very very rare.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
And here too, I'm glad to hear that where you're
going to fight from Michael dow These are all Instagram.
Where's the SSP twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
It's in mass production, uh and it's going to be
loaded onto the container in a month from now, and
it's it's a very I'm I'm actually very happy that
people ask about it because i think it's a very
weird gun a way because it's split. It's a clock
that splits open and it retains from the flying back
on the top incent of the bottom. There's no request spring,
but there's well there's a record spring, but it's too
(33:11):
pool springs on the side and it runs at twenty
rounds per second on full atto, So it's actually kind
of too fast, even, I would say, because he empty
a magan a second.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
It's done.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
But they people seem to like it. Yes, it was
all kind of like a random adventure of making something
very different, but we weren't too if people are gonna
like it actually, because so.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
This guy here who asked this question, Michael, he has
your s S seventy seven, Yeah, said he loves it,
loves that rifle, walks around with it when he's playing,
and just loves it. It's like if you could wear
they do. We all wear our guns like necklaces. It's like,
you know, check out my bling. Okay, let's see here
on sp Underscore Starlight four two zero one. Should Airsoft
(33:53):
be more realistic or more goofy and fun?
Speaker 1 (33:57):
I think my goofy Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
While being kind of realistic, right like this, I think
my load out is just fine. I can go fight
you like this. It's a good load out. I got
my woodlands on. I like the vibe of a military
load out myself. It's war games, so as long as
you have fun and smiling, and I.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Mean, that's what it's really about. Like one of the
aspects that I like about is that it's multi competitive.
It's just more competitive, right. I mean, of course that
there's no competitive as as well, which definitely has its place,
but that the average airs of game is you can't
win anything at the end. There's no international rank, there's
no because it's like this, it's so random, right, and
(34:33):
people bring all kinds of bullshit to a game, like
a single short shotgun just for the fun of it exactly.
I think that really makes just doing stuff that is
not efficient.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
But it's just one I love that. Okay, let's bust
this out here. Okay, So does Notwich like tacos with
red or green? Salsa red or green?
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Is it fine to put both?
Speaker 3 (34:55):
You can put both both? Okay, we got both. He
likes them with both. Let's I can look at this
question here.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
The second.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Yeah, it's just the last of the first c HS
underscore PKS. What's some advice you can give to a
new sniper player.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
First of all, make sure that before you get a
sniper that you experience sport the sport using at first.
First of then get good enough that you can say, Okay,
I go out there and I'm actually having fun, missus
ag already, right, it's not your first game where you
get smashed by everyone. Then consider sniping. And also then
(35:31):
make first of all sure that the games that are
the fields that in nearby actually a lot of sniping,
because you know, if it's if it's like a small
even a small outofields, you want have fun if you
don't have those ranges, right right. So there's that, and
then the next one is don't save on your side
arm and go for a very functional side arm rather
(35:53):
than a very cool sideem if that makes sense. AP
I'll tell you guys, AP A p A p A
p AP is the snipers at them you can have.
Speaker 6 (36:01):
And that's the electric pistol that we were talking about earlier.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
And any electric they all all electric pistols work on
the same concept. The Marie based ones. They just work.
They're just very efficient.
Speaker 6 (36:13):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
I get it, and we have the extended max here
and we do get the pistol. It's just not you know,
maybe it's something that will start to grow on folks
and we'll start getting more more.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
I have them. I don't think so, because they've been
around for such a long time, like Apiece have been around,
and they've they've always been good. Actually it's not that
Apiece were ever. I think a piece of one of
the few as of products that have also been good
fifteen years ago like they've always been.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
I had I had a nineteen eleven. You know, the
shroud came off and then the battery went in and
it has the battery. It was just a little fatter
than any of my other quick Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Usually it's the glow based ones that make more sense.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
Because today today, what am I rocking today?
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Today?
Speaker 4 (36:53):
I have your today, I have your SSP five short
that I've been rocking.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
You know what I love about Americans the way they
handles of guns. Like you, I go to any other
country and you don't have any of this, right, I'll
just do that now. But but but they do this
kind of stuff. Right, Oh here, I got five, Right,
I go to a field and they wanted a sign
their gun, and they gives the gun to me like this.
(37:23):
They're like, hey, can you sign my gun?
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Exactly, it's insane.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
Not today, I see, We're gonna have a mean Greek
and I'm going to be your personal assistant.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
I'm not afraid in the US that this is gonna
happen like every time. Actually, I learned this in the US. Yeah,
I went to so we don't have a big fire
arms community in Austria. And before I went to the military,
I was in the US poof and people just shotted me,
you know, because I did stuff like this. They were like,
did you just did you just flag me? And I didn't.
(37:56):
I didn't even understand what that means. But I learned.
I learned that guns safety aspect in America, and I
really appreciate how serious people are about it because American
safe zones are the only safe zones I've been to
which actually safe. Like you can go into an American
safe zone and I can take off my safety that's right,
my safety class. Like in other countries, I can't do
that because there's no parol sox. People Again, people have
(38:20):
their guns loaded in the safe zone with a beam
in the chamber and just there's talk like this.
Speaker 6 (38:24):
You know they weren't disciplined or trained with.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
It because there's no gun culture, right, We're born with it.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
We get to wake up with a gun in our
hands as babies, and I suck on my mom's boom
and hold my nineteen eleven forty five ACP fluted sweet
ass action as a little baby rat.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Because that's how we are here.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Okay, things like that.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Can we just control it just a little bit though, okay,
because we don't need to be out of control. It's
okay to have it, know how to use it, when
to use it. But you know, air soft is the
best thing if you're thinking about, you know, going to play.
You want to blossom steam, to blossom steam with us
in here with some airsoft guns one hundred percent, you
know what I'm saying. That's all I got to say
about that. Now, no brich YouTube. We're gonna fight here
(39:10):
probably at about thirty minutes from this ending, do that
very y Okay. Already, we're gonna have sixty players in here.
We're gonna split it up into multiple teams, run them
through the fights. You're gonna be getting some kills, getting killed,
getting shot, and uh at that, I think that we've
had a great time talking today. We're gonna start wrapping
(39:31):
this up. Is uh hey, K Factor is that you
over there? Will you come here real quick? Can you
let me bring K Factor step through here real quick?
Come here, come over here, come here, let.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
Me hear here.
Speaker 6 (39:41):
I just want you to shake hands with this IS
factor right here, right here.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
I just want to bring that to you.
Speaker 4 (39:46):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (39:47):
Appreciate you for coming up all the way, all your
sniping videos. It's just like him, absolutely just like him.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
I watched him.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Well, bro, yeah, I think dude, I've seen my.
Speaker 6 (39:57):
Heads pop it up and down over burns here. So
for sure all the that you do, so thank you,
appreciate it all right now, cut out of here.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
Okay, Bruce, come here, come here, come here, Come here, buddy.
Speaker 6 (40:08):
So I've known Bruce for a long time, a dozen years.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (40:12):
He takes all the photos he's after Action Airsoft on Facebook,

So this is rad our behalf of everyone here at

say a peace.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
You've been listening to Self Red Radio
Lute force.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
If it doesn't work, you're just not using enough. You're
listening to soft web Radio, Special Operations, Military Nails and
straight talk with the guys in the community.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
What's going on.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
My name is Rad and I am here at eight
oh one Airsop and I'm hanging out with our main man,
Chris Nabrich right here.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Everybody give him a round of applause.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Thanks for having me in.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Hey, thanks for traveling all the way from Austria to
come visit us here. I know you're on a North
American tour. You just got done seeing Canada and Mexico
in Chihuahua.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Exactly, how was that? A lot of flying? So it
was literally coming to Montreal playing one day, then flying
to Toronto playing Monday, then flying to Chihuahua playing Monday,
and on here. So it's just playing, flying, playing flying,
playing flying.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
So it sounds like a good problem to have.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It's like it's basically sleeping on a plane and resting,
recovering from the game, and as soon as you wake up,
I'm at a game again.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Right, and now we have you here to be interviewed.
This is Have you done this before? Have you ever
had an interview sit down like this.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Oh yes, a couple of times sometimes already.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
So for those of you that know Nowich has a
nowich on YouTube, you can go check out the channel
and see all of the different action and gameplay.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Norwich.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
If you're watching this for the first time, I don't
know what he comes from, go check him out because
he has really elevated the airsoft game to be just awesome.
He shows his point of view footage of shooting the
opponents with his sniper cams. He has a facing camera
that allows you to see his movement and his breath
and what he's up to. No, Rich, really, thanks for
(02:03):
all you have done to help grow the sport so
that people here in Utah are gonna be outside to
come and have a good time with you today.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Bro, this is why you're awesome. Thank you for coming.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Thanks so much for us.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yes, I hope you're I hope you're blushing now. I've
been playing war games for a very long.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Time, right, I've been doing it since like two thousand
and one. But even as a littler kid, we would
play Capture the Flag. That's you know, like capture the flag.
You know, you know, tag you're it. But now we
do it with airsoft guns. All those games can now
be played with an airsoft gun. Let me let me
let me ask you a question. So, Rhett, he wants
to know you've been around Europe and in the US. Now,
(02:42):
what country do you feel has the best airsoft gameplay
in your opinion.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
The best airs off gameplay? That's a tough one, Okay,
I think Annoyd. I've been to Ireland lately, and I
think this is going to be very controversial opinion, but
I like the one school power limit there. So there's
a there's a legal limit of one school, which I
think that's not great. It's a legal limit by the government. Right,
(03:10):
But because now fields are for us to use one
shoe guns, it really opens up the sport to a
much broader audience.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Right.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
So when I get hit by let's say, four hundred
fps gun like a one point five gun, it it
almost feels naturally, right. I've been hit so often that
I don't know, it doesn't bother me anymore. It's not
the pain is I almost don't feel it anymore. But
you get someone new, you know, it's like, hey, let's
let's try for the first time, and you should have
been a four un fps gun at like five meters
(03:39):
right right. So that I think is quite a limiting
factor for the sport in a way of making it
bigger than it is right now. And because in Ireland
they can't do that because the airs of community wants
they're into it. They kind of strive for more power,
they want more arrange.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
They want of course they want to increase exactly, they
want the four fust Yes, give them the full thrust Ireland,
come on.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Do it exactly so, not because they're one suo pole
restrictions same like in Japan. Yeah, Like in Japan, you
see much more girls, many more girls at Yes of games,
a younger audience, and I think it's.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Great at World Yeah, a little bit more of a
mix of the people that can come and play where
it's like not so brutal in their mind maybe. I mean,
I've still seen one jewel knock out a tooth, right
and I've seen four four hundred feet per second knock
out at one point five yewels like.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Teas maybe don't care about it that much. They get
knocked out anyway, so they get a direct tute. But
it does make like it's not even that that your
skin breaks too much or something. It's just that sensation
of the pain when people are not used to it.
You know, they might play the first game and they
get five bevies I don't know the chance or something,
and to just go like what the fuck, Like, well,
(04:53):
it's mind done.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
I usually say, it's not.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
The first beab that hits you, it's the other thirty
that are behind it. You get by that first one
of it's like, you're overkilling me. It's like, no, dude,
I just killed you. I just shoot shot you thirty times.
And if you have a team of ten people and
all ten people are shooting thirty rounds at one person,
that dude hits him, all those other rounds are still
(05:15):
coming at him.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
It's not quite overkill. It's just tactics. So a lot
of people are like, oh, it's.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Overkiller or you're overkilling You're shooting me over and over
and over again. It's like, nahdad, you just got the
flurry of the rest of the bebi's coming at you. Okay,
it's not overkill. You just that's what was coming at you, right,
So what do you think about Like vehicles in Airsoft,
I have a tank, we take it out to large
skill war tank. Yeah, we have a tank, like what
kind of thing Ajax? You met Ajax and he has
(05:42):
gone into the warehouse with a welder and he came
out like iron Man with a tank. So we took
in his Zuzu Rodeo suv looks like a Toyota four
runner and then he up armored the whole thing all
the way around it and now it looks like something
nineteen fifties Japanese amphibious.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
You know what that reminds me of. There was this
I who took a bulldozer and built a tank out
of it and then ran into a city and too
local police station.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
That's what his name escapes me. But it is real.
That is real.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
He took a big dozer armored it up in Colorado
over taxes. Something about taxes sounds about his business. Yeah,
you know, I feel the same thing, same thing. So
we go out to these large games like Operation Line
Clause or any of these millsim West or anything like that,
and there's vehicles, but they're always dropping people off.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Behind our lines, and we're like no more.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
So we built an anti personnel, anti vehicle mechanized vehicle
that holds four on the inside a turret gunner which
is full three sixty Ajax patented our own forty milimeters
grenade launcher for it. It's patented, and then he we
take it to these games and now we can take
out their vehicles before they drop off the enemy behind us.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yeah. So it's like the nuclear bomber bears like a
chalk Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Yeah, we have a forty millimeter It shoots four Mike
mic either the grenades with the bebies or we have
a specific almost tennis ball.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
It's just small like this, forty milimeters our logo on it, Hitch.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
You can pick it up and be like, yeah, dude, Yeah,
it's pretty fun. And we do a lot of war
games out in the desert, and so you also do
a lot of outside war games. A lot of questions
since you've been coming here to me on the instagrams
have been like, is.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
He gonna go outside and play with us? Rad?
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Why is he playing indoors? Can you answer that? How
can you're coming to fight here with rad indoors?
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I don't know?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Isaid I'm coming? And but I do like inness as well, Like,
don't get me wrong, I feel like the appeal of
indoor games is that they don't take up the whole day. Yeah,
because an auto game it's you know, you drive far
and you really you take your hole set of it, right,
maybe two day game, but that also limits you in
doing it after work, you know, you don't really do Okay,
(07:51):
let me drive all two of us after five after
a long birthday and play an all the res of game. Right,
So that's my appeal on the industry. Could yeahs like
very lights, you know, just put on a mask, get
a show up lights, gun, run it all you've done
and and.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Just go back on. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
And going out to the desert is a little bit
more of a get into a convoy, follow the convoy
to the place, you know, and that's all airsoft to us.
Just the drive is Airsoft. You're just like trying to
get to the air Soft venue.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Talk about a top of buckings on the way, Yeah,
yeah exactly.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Or you like get stuck in the snow and someone
has a toe rope because they're prepared out in the
desert to pull you out of the snow. You know,
there's a lot of things that happen when you're convoying
out there.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Do you chess plan, Like, can you just go on
and descent and chess play? Yeah, so you don't need Okay,
this is my land or.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I have five hundred acres that is a private land.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Because who play in private lands? Yeah, you can't just
go on it.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Well we can.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
There are places that we get together as a group
and then fight.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
We just don't disclose those.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
And then we all have forums like Utah Airsoft on Facebook,
and then you go on there and then you can
just see where the events are and then typically you meet.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
At like a gas station.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
But is there cover in the deserts.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Trenches? There's natural ravines? Yeah, all the washouts and you
know you have like juniper trees that are like are
that are out there all over the place.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Just desert style environment.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
And at night when the sunset's going down and you're
on patrol with night vision getting ready to put them on,
it's just a beautiful scenery. You're just like in the
woods with a homie just walking around like that's a
great sunset shot. You're like, I should be paying attention.
So so let me ask you. We do so much
(09:38):
night vision games. I'm sure you're aware of all of
the different night.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Videos that we've done. What do you think about night
vision and thermals in airsoft?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I tell you they're very hot to come by in Europe.
I seek in America is very easy, right, but there's
like all of these export restrictions that they're really good
stuff we can't even have in Europe. Yeah, I'm not
too experienced because it's honestly, I've played his night visions,
but I'm not the kind of guy who knows a
kid like this generation of this generation and I try
you know.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
We'll have to. We'll have to let you try these on.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
We'll kill the lights in here and let you check
it out and you can, you know, move These are
white foster for I believe there's steel industry dual tube
nods and uh, this is one of This is an
airsofter's kit. This is just one of the guys, those
guys out there that have full on thermals and they
just see your soul. You look like a bunch of
hot cheetos. You're looking out there. You're like a bunch
of hot cheetos running around. It's just so have you
(10:29):
ever U? I guess we need to get you out
here for a night game. That's what's we'll do that.
We'll do that. Let me put those up there. Thank
you Mitch for the nods on the skull. Thank you
Ajax for the skull. That's a Thas exclusive skull.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
By the way.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Also, I mean, I'm just gonna talk about some of
your kit bro. You just got really cool stuff. Let's
just talk about it, because this noverwich SSP five six
inch is legit.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
You you're doing your best so much.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
And in the beginning you probably had setbacks and you're
just like, I'm chasing this situation. That's just like how
do I stop a gas gun for malfunctioning or having
to come back to me? You know what I mean,
or to you or to any of us. We just
wanted to work out the door. And what I tell
people here in Utah is we play in the coldest
weather all year round, and all I need is like
(11:26):
three to six shots from my pistol to work, okay,
because I'm using my main gun and if you get
too close, I just got to.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Get to a pistol.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Do you guys use electric crystols?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Not so much, not so much.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Just they're really popular in Europe. But I found like
they'll not popular in US.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Yeah, it's parts are a little difficult to repair them
for us. So if they break down.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Which they don't really break down this thing and then
they have sometimes.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
They don't fit in the people's already holsters that they
already have. It's a little fatter. You know, this is
a little bit of a different mill spec. So that
that is a thing, right, you know, you want to
have your stuff. So if you had a holster for
an electric gun that was slender, well.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
We i mean just does a couple of by now.
But the team is actually slimmer. It's slimmer than the typical.
The teen is slimmer and it actually fits into a
standard and it has a semi and full auto option.
Exactly you have to run it on foot to be fair,
like on two you don't get the trigger response that
you want, see, so you just run.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
And another thing is that here in Utah, really we
have a semi auto rule.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
So if it's point blank, it's only semi.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
If you have a full auto function on your pistol,
it now becomes a primary and in our rule set
you can only have one primary.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
You know that there's pint doesn't matter it's for jewels.
It's zero four like apiece are very weak. There's almost
no way did you get them above zero point five?
Even with tuning, you you can't really do it. So
that's why. But I played a they allow because they're
know that weak, right, that just don't hurt these things. Yeah,
(12:58):
like you still feel them because there's a volume of
he's coming into right. But the fact that you can
have a one hundred rund magazine that is barely anyway.
You can have so many of them right right, they
always run. There's no coul on. It's and we still
a point for a tool. You will be surprised half
I bb flies. We still a point for a too.
You can still reach out to like forty meters effectively.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Sure hundred twenty feet for us here in the US
forty meters. I'm just breaking it down. I'm just breaking
it down. I got you, I got you.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
That's why they also popolo. Right, it's such a It
might not be the coolest site on because it doesn't
do all the cool.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
That's actually good for me. I don't mind them not racking.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
But it's at just playing and getting bobies out there.
I think it's the most efficient side of it can.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Well, we have had them through the shop at eight
oh one Air Tactical Air saftiply we have max for them.
And also they're purchased and come into us and they're like,
do you have the extra parts for it? You know,
sometimes the kids can't come in to buy it from us,
so the mom and dad's give them the phone and say,
just go buy it here with my credit card and
get it done. Otherwise that kid.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Would want to come to me, wouldn't you You come to.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Me here, or you'd go straight to knob at his
location and buy it. But you're forced to buy it online,
and so we're cool with that. The only thing I
require when someone comes out to my games is that
they call their hit. You don't have to buy from me.
You don't have to buy from me to fight with me.
And just because you buy from me doesn't mean you
can't come fight with me. There's one thing that qualifies,
and that's just calling your hit. Respect, integrity, and safety.
(14:21):
Well sat So whether you're nine or ninety nine, just
don't cry about it.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
I don't want no tears. I don't want to see
you weeping.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
I don't want any well, I'd rather mop up your
blood than your tears. So as long as you're not
gonna cry about it, nine or ninety nine, bro, step up,
get into the fight.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
So nine, if I'm yeah, this.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Is the mea Grinder, you're in the meagrinder, right.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Do you need to bring your parents if you're mine?
Speaker 4 (14:44):
So the waiver on file, so we have a disclaimer saying, hey,
if you're gonna come fight here, sign this waiver and
it says in there you could die. I've had people
who have collapsed in here because they're out of shape,
or they didn't know they had something wrong with their heart,
or they did know they had a a fib turned
to a v fib and then they just collapsed right
here on me. And I hear a ceasefire and I'm like,
why is there a ceasefire?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I'm in charge. They're like, man down. I'm like, oh,
cease fire.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
So we came over to this spot right here where
we're sitting, and the dude had all of his gear on, helmet.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
All black, all black, all black, and it was a blacked.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Out game so there was no lights on and we
were just doing a tack light only game in here.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
For seven minutes.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Okay, next thing, I know, man down and then we
turn all lights on and we are assessing him, and
I said, everybody go back to the staging area unless
you're essential personnel, which is just me and Mitch, and
we're calling nine one one. We just don't need to
be overcrowded. And there was a dude he's like, I'm
a doctor. He was in here fighting with his son,
and I was like, okay, you can stay. And so
he comes over and he's like, rad help me. So
(15:39):
we take this young man. We pull his neck, we
stretch him out, we get him to he starts to
get him to breathe really he's just like having these
like this fit on the ground. Now he's breathing, he's
letting go of all of his fluids. He's in convulsions.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Yeah. Yeah, he's nineteen, six foot.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Four, blonde hair young man. His call signs mister Utah.
You know who you are, okay, because he looks like
he should be mister Utah. But he just went down
with a bad heart. Still lived, but for that moment
he wasn't. And it was very like, you know real.
That's so the doctor comes up to me and he's like, rad,
I had no idea. This was after we cleared out
with the EMTs and got him on the stretcher and
(16:18):
he went to the hospital. The doctor was like, rad,
I'm a retired major from Bobraam air bases where all
of the ied victims would come to me first. In
Afghanistan Iraq. He's like, I'm the first doc that sees
those guys. I had no idea. Today was going to
put me right back into that taking off gear, taking
off helmets, taking off these guys. And I was like,
(16:38):
I'm so happy you were here playing with your fifteen
year old son. You know his cause Hill Air Force
face is right here and so he was just here.
It just was a circumstance. So we're really happy that
mister Utah made it. But airstop man, a lot of
us get up off the couch thinking I can go
do this, and then they go out into the desert
with us, or they're crawling around on the ground, or
they're just in here and next thing you know, there's
(17:00):
and they don't realize how much sweat they're sweating, or
they're dehydrated, or they're just not taking care of themselves.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Prior to the fight.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
So I mean, you know, if you're watching and you're
really caring about yourself, you should go at least outside
and walk in the mountains or go for a hike.
Some mental health is always possible with you know, going
for a swim, exercise is good for you, especially if
you're gonna get into airsoft.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
And I don't mean to steal the.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Cast here, but the reason why we created our tank
was so that our injured friends on the team who
had heart issues, whose wives would come to me and
say rat For some reason, my husband won't listen to
me at home, but he listens to you. Can you
just not run him so hard at the game? So
I go to my buddy Ajax and I'm like, well, Ajax,
so what do we do about this? And he goes
(17:44):
into the blowtorch mode and makes the tank. And now
my guys that had heart issues are blown out knee.
They're just the thing. They could just sit in the
tank with air conditioning, bro and they could just sit
there and be a whole part of it.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
On the radio, Roger that twelve o'clock.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
From the tank's point of view, where's the turret or
one of them? Can just sit there and spin the turret.
So really airsoft, I just want to say, is for everyone.
It can be for everyone, but you have to just
know your limits.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Yeah, I mean I had a guy in a whee
chop playing as well, and that also worked, like just
pushed him.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
And yes we had we have a young man who
also nailed me. He's in a tank wheelchair. It's got
the tracks on it. And so we're up at a
Vietnam game that I was putting on in the top
mountains of Utah, and he wanted to come fight, and
I was like, come on out, we'll make we'll figure
it out. I wheeled him up in his tank chair
into an ambush position with an MP five K. I said, eighth,
(18:34):
it coast to that field right there. You just mow
it down, bro, and his hand just barely. Really, he
just mow him down. That was airsoft for me. You
know people who can play and have a good time
and just love it and and and you inspire so
many to go play, right, I thought it was me, No,
it's him. Right, You're out there putting so much consistency
(18:55):
and gameplay footage and just you know, you're not a
you're not a you're not saying anything negative about the sport,
and if it's you know, you're just always just like
this is the sport. You're not like saying, oh, this
person isn't really calling his hits or this hit list
or anything like that. It's just like you're playing.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
We do try it. It's very tempting you to do content,
to do that kind of content. It's very tempting because
it works. But ultimately it puts I don't only put
in any bad light on anyone, because I think it
does still give the sport exposure, even though it's maybe
not the best exposure, but it still brings people to
the sport in the end. Sure, however, I think many
people see it and think that is right. Oh I
(19:32):
go to an game, I'm gonna get into a fist fight. Yeah,
so that's just ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
It is.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
But I still, ultimately I think it's still better to
have that content than to not if anybody content, right,
So I think it's and it's positive for the community.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Still.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Sure, it's just you know, play with respect to one another,
don't call each other names on because when we split
up teams, we split up fathers and sons and so
this dad's over here, now his son's over here.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
That sounds like cheater.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Who yelling at yelling at your dad on the team
over there is your dad, the cheater who's yelling at No.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Well, then shut your mouth, right.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
We have a rule here that if you call me out,
you call yourself out, and then we walk off the
field right then and say what happened? Well, rad, you're
wearing six knee pads, four play carriers, and two helmets.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Man, you didn't feel your hit.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
I just got to let you know at this point
that it's worth me pulling myself out to call you out.
And I'll be like, okay, let me get rid of
all the head helmet gear and everything like that and
just not let that happen again. Warning, right, And maybe
never happens again, But sometimes people do happen, or sometimes
that person's always the one saying something, and so we
nip it in the bud by saying if you say
something to anybody, you pull yourself out.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
It just nips it in the bud. Hey, terminator up armored?
Hum v Wait. I can't say those things to you.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
I can't call you RoboCop because that's meaning that you're
not calling your hit or how close were you?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Well? Is this game based off integrity? Is it?
Speaker 4 (20:56):
It is right calling your hit? Then trust how close
I am and I know what my weapon shoots. Bye,
see you later. Don't cry about it. I don't want
to mop up your tears. Okay, So if I get
up to you and shoot you, you have to trust
me to know that I know the rules of my weapon,
just as if you come up a knife for me, Like, bro,
what was your engagement disiness on that knife in the
middle of the game. No, don't talk to me while
(21:17):
I just killed you. Don't don't give away my position.
Don't sit there and bring up anything. Just just die,
just and just go back to respond and then come
get me.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Yeah, okay, okay, that's it. You don't just say nothing
to nobody.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Now, let me burn through these questions since I have
you for such a little limited time. So thanks to
Mitch for the night vision questions, thanks to Rett for
the what world is best to play in? And we
got Ireland out of that Alex shike? How much wood
could a wood chuck chuck? If a woodchuck could chuck,
(21:50):
would These are from Instagram.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
By the way, how much can roots? How much woots kim?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
How much would?
Speaker 1 (21:57):
How much woots could wots chuck chuck? If a woodchuck
coot chuck wood? That's easy.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Is it an extra question you want me to answer
for you? Let me you want me to answer it?
A woodchuck wood chuck all the wood. If a wood
chuck could chuck would that's how it goes.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
And woodchuck wood chuck all the wood. If a woodchuck
chuck wood, that's right.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
But a woodchuck could not chuck wood. Yeah, it's like
a beaver. Yeah, yeah, So how much woodchuck could a
wood chuck chuck if wood? It's like a yeah, that's
the that's the that's to give you an idea.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Thanks Alex Shike. That's for you, homie in Wisconsin. We
love you.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Keep playing air soft in Wisconsin and keeping it going
up there. Keep up the ri I s out there, okay, bro,
love you, Alex Shik, Alan Emlett. Any future collaborations with
AJAX Customs, Ajax myself, you know, other than being here
and collaborating.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
I would I would love a shirt off the both
of us. Oh I love the rock and roll T
shirt right here. Yeah, I love it. Thank you, It's
coming your way, no stress, let's see here.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Thank you, Alan logan as ask him what made him
get into starting a YouTube channel and if he has
any tips or a tip for someone to start one.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Okay, what made me get into it? So there was
a French YouTuber called Roman five six who is the
ogi of airs of Gameplay with multiple camera angle one
more time five six French French guy, and he was
the first person to put a camera. We see him
onto a gun recording those hits. It's a very basic video.
It's like two minutes long, I think, and it's just
(23:30):
the zum cam footage and it has like, I don't know,
ten million fuse right, because it was the first of
its kind. That guy then started putting multiple cameras on him,
so he was the first person to put a selfie
camp and a hedge camp. And then he then he
created the format of airs of gameplay, right, telling a
story with multiple camera angers, with subtitles and all that.
And that guy made five videos and then just stopped.
(23:51):
He just disappeared and never did it again because he
got two kids and the wife and the whole she
and again. And I watched all of these videos at
least I don't know, five times each and I wanted
I don't know, I just felt like someone needs to
continue to inspired you exactly.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
So this is really like we all have to be
really grateful. Like the game that guy started, it's because
that guy. Maybe it would have started a couple of
years later and the spot would be I think it's
a lot smaller because those airs of gameplay, especially the
big ones. I do really think they grew the spot
to a massive degree now, Yes, like really gives the
sport explosion.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
You know, seeing games that are online like you know
in Burgette, you know, like these big games that are
out there, uh you know, or a Lion Clause game
or a mill Sim West or an American Mills sim,
these large games that are trying to like even go
into cross national borders to play here in Utah.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
We've really been doing it for like a long time.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
It seems like sixteen years of running ops every other
weekend out in the desert and then uh in here
almost every single day.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
So thousands and thousands and thousands.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Of hours of training are young men and women and
older dudes to go in and fight airsoft is what
we're pumping out here.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Just to have a good time. Brone that smile.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
That's what I do for on that On that tip
on when do you start going? The thing is to
people keep asking me this, but I tell you I
could not pull this off a second time like on
this size, because that the only reason why it worked
back then is because no one did it right, right,
just no one did it. So I was the only
not the only one, but the only one who did
it of one of the few people who did it
(25:20):
consistently correct at that time.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
So I think right now it's if you start a
YouTube channel, don't hunt for fuse. I think that's the
biggest tip that I can get because it's become extremely
difficult to get rich. So really just do it because
you like doing it. Create the contact that you that
you like doing. But don't say, okay, I have to
I don't know a rabbit costume and run and they've
(25:43):
gone to get fuse even though I don't enjoy it. Right,
Just do whatever you have fun with and.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Keep it that way. So consistency, that's it. Just consistency
of what you love to do and just have at it.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yes, just because if you don't enjoy what you're creating,
you're not going to be able to be consistent anyways.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Correct that. I love that. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
I mean I've been doing YouTube since two thousand and six,
right our channel has been going on.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I saw a night vision video we spled like a
couple of million fuse yeah really first one of the
first ones.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
So Ajax mounted night Vision onto a camera back then,
no one was doing that. And then we went and
attacked our compounds out in the desert out of home
v's with tracer units and it just shows everything like
night fighting. And then that got ripped off and it
was used as propaganda for the Iraq Afghanistan war, saying
that it was al Qaeda versus Marine Corps. And somebody
(26:32):
stole it and put background noises of and all different
types of Arabic language in the background, and.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
I was just watching it tick.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
First of all, good job on the editing, Okay, I
wish I could do that and just like steal my
own stuff and put some background music.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
I'm just a one tape guy.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Second, it got put onto these other popular media websites
as actual combat footage, so they had like.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Forty million views.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
And then all of a sudden one day I go
to my YouTube, my sweet innocent YouTube channel, and it's
like one hundred and fifty six comments.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
I'm like, wow, let me go look at that. I'm excited.
And next thing you know, it's.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Like like this if you came here from liveleaks dot com.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
I was like, what's going on at live leaks?
Speaker 4 (27:12):
And I go over there front page our Airsoft war
game and thousands of comments and people saying like God
bless you Marines, and like hey, someone's like, no, it's Airsoft.
This is rad out of Utah with Airsoft guys, and
people are.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Going back and forth.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
No one's reading the comments. They're just like, God bless you,
God bless you. What a most intense firefight. So when
we can pull it off like that, okay, when our
simple little war that's that was just like eight minutes
of what we've been doing for so long.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah, no calling, they got a little muzzlefest to kill.
Then just you know, i'pload a back cut video of
a minute that doesn't look.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Anyway, no, no, And then BBC hit me up and
they asked for permission to use the footage so they
can make a reenactment of the hostage siege of the
oil refinery in Africa where it happened like two thousand
and nine twenty ten eleven. There was like a siege
and the Says had to go in at night and
they rescued all of the oil workers and everybody off
(28:09):
of the situation. So they used our night footage of
the tracer units going back and forth.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
They're flyway too slow anyway, Yes, that's what they said.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
But to the average person who's just out there watching,
they're just like, oh, you know, oh that's what I
just saw.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
That must be real. That's how it is.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Okay, So there you go, logan als. That was for you,
Jeff Slack K Factor, he's going to be here today. Man,
let me just say, K Factor has been also someone
who is like you, passionate.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I know that that's a channel.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
It is a channel.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
He's gonna be here to be here. He he also
shoots sniper style footage.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
He is.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
But that guy is gonna be content in a long time, right.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
He still makes content, but you know he's probably got
to chase it. You know, he's he was doing so
much content K.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Fact, I remember, but it's a very old channel, right, yeah,
it is. I think I used to.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
And he does the overlay of the stories and talks
about how the attacks and I'm laying. I call him
an elk, so you would be an elk. I'm an elk.
So in the game, that means that we're the Elks.
Bro people want our rack, they want it, they want
it on the wall.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
There's people who can just go out and like kind
of hunt pheasants.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Okay, but we're the Elks.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Okay, We're like, they want the horns of us, but
they're not going to get them because we're Elk.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
That kind of deal.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Right, He's an elk. You guys are your chameleons. You
guys are piles of leaves and I have to step
on you to kill you. In the Airsoft game, okay,
so I hunt that. I listened for snipers. I listen
for the of the one shot. I'm like over there,
and then I listen, I hear another shot, and I
can tell because just a single bull action shot.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
And so then I start hunting those guys. Same with thermals.
If you got thermals, I'm gonna un line for today's
Oh yeah, So Jeff slack.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
He says, how a small town guy can get a
chance come to a launch event for you? And uh,
if that's a possibility. So he wants to know if
you ever like have a launch event, if someone like
him could come and be a part of that.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
We could actually do a launch event in the US
at some point. We always did it in Europe.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
But that okay, cool? All right case actors, that's a
shout out for you, bro. Okay, Jeff, Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
So what k factor? We could also so we do
fly in influences from a little bit about to launch
launch events in you know, so Manchester?
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Yeah, okay, just reach out to Christen, see what's uping
make it happen? All right, it's on you now, bro Okay.
Alison Prior, I don't know if you've eaten it.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
It's a Utah favorite. I don't think you've had it yet.
I wish I had a bottle of it. Alison, what
do you think of fried sauce? Have you had any
fries sauce yet? He hasn't?
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Is it? I got him?
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Pink? No?
Speaker 1 (30:52):
No no?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
And you dip your fries in it here? You never
have it? No?
Speaker 1 (30:55):
No, you can Okay?
Speaker 3 (30:58):
One day, so we'll get him. We'll see.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Okay, hold on thought and calm it down below if
you think he likes it or not, and I'll put
up a follow up to that.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Okay, but calm it down below.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Uh will he come play an outside Utah Airsoft game?
He's already here. What is the one thing he'd like
to see removed from Airsoft?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
One thing I would like to see removed from Azoft?
I think calling all the people calling out people, it
really stops the game for it.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Just so if you say something to someone, call yourself out.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Yeah I liked it.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Who's gonna say, you're not gonna say nothing? Oh it's me,
it's my gun. I failed.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
I should get up closer. I didn't hit them. I
wasn't with engagement. Just it's your fault. Chalk it up
to that. It's integrity. If you shot at me and
I don't call it, please believe that you probably didn't
hit me. You gotta believe me, because if you're gonna
believe me for shooting you, it's an integrity game. Without integrity,
there's no sport. If you can't call your own hit,
what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (31:55):
That's it? It's the game.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
Relies on that, so please do that. You promise the
sport when you play it, to call your hit. I
would say bad attitudes, and that's usually people who.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Think that they're hitting somebody that they're you know, it
also looks like it, you know, especially since I'm running
a camera. I realized that, you know, in the cameo
bitch like I I the guy. But then he watched
the video and you see man as like its week
two medias ahead of the guy, and it just you know,
just drops him from just misses him right here, right.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
I hit him in the gun. You know, the gun
doesn't count, but he hit it in front of his body.
So there's all of these it's very reality that it's
actually someone where you see he blinches and he actually
felt he's not calling it. It's very very very rare.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
And here too, I'm glad to hear that where you're
going to fight from Michael dow These are all Instagram.
Where's the SSP twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
It's in mass production, uh and it's going to be
loaded onto the container in a month from now, and
it's it's a very I'm I'm actually very happy that
people ask about it because i think it's a very
weird gun a way because it's split. It's a clock
that splits open and it retains from the flying back
on the top incent of the bottom. There's no request spring,
but there's well there's a record spring, but it's too
(33:11):
pool springs on the side and it runs at twenty
rounds per second on full atto, So it's actually kind
of too fast, even, I would say, because he empty
a magan a second.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
It's done.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
But they people seem to like it. Yes, it was
all kind of like a random adventure of making something
very different, but we weren't too if people are gonna
like it actually, because so.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
This guy here who asked this question, Michael, he has
your s S seventy seven, Yeah, said he loves it,
loves that rifle, walks around with it when he's playing,
and just loves it. It's like if you could wear
they do. We all wear our guns like necklaces. It's like,
you know, check out my bling. Okay, let's see here
on sp Underscore Starlight four two zero one. Should Airsoft
(33:53):
be more realistic or more goofy and fun?
Speaker 1 (33:57):
I think my goofy Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
While being kind of realistic, right like this, I think
my load out is just fine. I can go fight
you like this. It's a good load out. I got
my woodlands on. I like the vibe of a military
load out myself. It's war games, so as long as
you have fun and smiling, and I.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Mean, that's what it's really about. Like one of the
aspects that I like about is that it's multi competitive.
It's just more competitive, right. I mean, of course that
there's no competitive as as well, which definitely has its place,
but that the average airs of game is you can't
win anything at the end. There's no international rank, there's
no because it's like this, it's so random, right, and
(34:33):
people bring all kinds of bullshit to a game, like
a single short shotgun just for the fun of it exactly.
I think that really makes just doing stuff that is
not efficient.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
But it's just one I love that. Okay, let's bust
this out here. Okay, So does Notwich like tacos with
red or green? Salsa red or green?
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Is it fine to put both?
Speaker 3 (34:55):
You can put both both? Okay, we got both. He
likes them with both. Let's I can look at this
question here.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
The second.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Yeah, it's just the last of the first c HS
underscore PKS. What's some advice you can give to a
new sniper player.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
First of all, make sure that before you get a
sniper that you experience sport the sport using at first.
First of then get good enough that you can say, Okay,
I go out there and I'm actually having fun, missus
ag already, right, it's not your first game where you
get smashed by everyone. Then consider sniping. And also then
(35:31):
make first of all sure that the games that are
the fields that in nearby actually a lot of sniping,
because you know, if it's if it's like a small
even a small outofields, you want have fun if you
don't have those ranges, right right. So there's that, and
then the next one is don't save on your side
arm and go for a very functional side arm rather
(35:53):
than a very cool sideem if that makes sense. AP
I'll tell you guys, AP A p A p A
p AP is the snipers at them you can have.
Speaker 6 (36:01):
And that's the electric pistol that we were talking about earlier.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
And any electric they all all electric pistols work on
the same concept. The Marie based ones. They just work.
They're just very efficient.
Speaker 6 (36:13):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
I get it, and we have the extended max here
and we do get the pistol. It's just not you know,
maybe it's something that will start to grow on folks
and we'll start getting more more.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
I have them. I don't think so, because they've been
around for such a long time, like Apiece have been around,
and they've they've always been good. Actually it's not that
Apiece were ever. I think a piece of one of
the few as of products that have also been good
fifteen years ago like they've always been.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
I had I had a nineteen eleven. You know, the
shroud came off and then the battery went in and
it has the battery. It was just a little fatter
than any of my other quick Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Usually it's the glow based ones that make more sense.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
Because today today, what am I rocking today?
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Today?
Speaker 4 (36:53):
I have your today, I have your SSP five short
that I've been rocking.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
You know what I love about Americans the way they
handles of guns. Like you, I go to any other
country and you don't have any of this, right, I'll
just do that now. But but but they do this
kind of stuff. Right, Oh here, I got five, Right,
I go to a field and they wanted a sign
their gun, and they gives the gun to me like this.
(37:23):
They're like, hey, can you sign my gun?
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Exactly, it's insane.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
Not today, I see, We're gonna have a mean Greek
and I'm going to be your personal assistant.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
I'm not afraid in the US that this is gonna
happen like every time. Actually, I learned this in the US. Yeah,
I went to so we don't have a big fire
arms community in Austria. And before I went to the military,
I was in the US poof and people just shotted me,
you know, because I did stuff like this. They were like,
did you just did you just flag me? And I didn't.
(37:56):
I didn't even understand what that means. But I learned.
I learned that guns safety aspect in America, and I
really appreciate how serious people are about it because American
safe zones are the only safe zones I've been to
which actually safe. Like you can go into an American
safe zone and I can take off my safety that's right,
my safety class. Like in other countries, I can't do
that because there's no parol sox. People Again, people have
(38:20):
their guns loaded in the safe zone with a beam
in the chamber and just there's talk like this.
Speaker 6 (38:24):
You know they weren't disciplined or trained with.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
It because there's no gun culture, right, We're born with it.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
We get to wake up with a gun in our
hands as babies, and I suck on my mom's boom
and hold my nineteen eleven forty five ACP fluted sweet
ass action as a little baby rat.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Because that's how we are here.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Okay, things like that.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Can we just control it just a little bit though, okay,
because we don't need to be out of control. It's
okay to have it, know how to use it, when
to use it. But you know, air soft is the
best thing if you're thinking about, you know, going to play.
You want to blossom steam, to blossom steam with us
in here with some airsoft guns one hundred percent, you
know what I'm saying. That's all I got to say
about that. Now, no brich YouTube. We're gonna fight here
