Thumpy's 3D House of Airsoft™ @ Scoop.it

Robo is back with what he does SO VERY VERY WELL…ACTION VIDEO!  See more from South Carolina’s OTHER hot AO, the GTI…where more events are OTW soon!…and CLICK THE PIC ABOVE to get hooked up with the Hyper-Canuck on his INSTAGRAM PAGE!

Oh yea, persistence pays off for JOHN LU, as he got us to at least venture into his latest AO in Myrtle Beach to shoot pictures (not BB…sadface) last weekend.  Here’s HIS VIDEO from the behind the scenes and outside the fence walkabout…and OUR VIDEO with Mr. Lion Claws is OTW today, too!  CLICK THAT PIC of the two nutjobs up top to get hooked into the next OPLC event and info on FACEBOOK!

TOO FREAKIN’ COOL!  This morning, in the cold Carolina rain…what do we find at the front door?  THE 2016 Operation Lion Claws calendar, and the most amaze-ballz stealth-black heavy-weight hoodie! LZ L.C. MERCH!

John Lu! DROP ZONE ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!

GREAT WORK here by James and the TWiA gang to bring one of the unique parts of the MilSim West (and, also RAPTAC…yea, you’ll hear ‘grunts’ of all stripes in this one!) experience…an after-event AAR designed to capture the players’ input on making these evolutions even better.  That quality-of-detail that is improving and INNOVATING the highest levels of MilSim.

AWESOME Start from MSW’s event in South Carolina..then, dippin’ right into the dooblidoo for YOUR questions!  Leave more for next Asked Amped!

If you want a good, short-‘n-sweet vid that shows the MSW suspension of disbelief…THIS ONE from Riikkii/Ricky Ksc might just be the one!  SHARE THIS ONE…and leave some comments, either on the YT CHAN or on his FB Page! Thanks for letting us share man!

MERLIN was an “embed journalist” for MilSim West’s “RAID ON ROSTOV” last weekend in South Carolina…which put him in a very unique position to see both sides of the action and to put the whole experience into perspective as a ‘new wave’ event production team brought their concepts to a new A.O. and to a new player base.  How did it work? What’s was cool…and what what too HOT to handle?  READ THE AAR over at Merlin’s News Chan…and then weigh in with your input!

More MilSim…MORE MEDIA!  We love it that THIS WEEK IN AIRSOFT has muddy Russian ‘boots on the ground’ in South Carolina for MilSim West’s “RAID ON ROSTOV” this weekend!

Catch all of the coverage…and more from the left coast’s Airsoft GI BB WARS Event, too…from the TWIA GANG!   CLICK THAT PIC to head to their Facebook Fan Page and don’t forget to LIKE and “GET NOTIFICATIONS.”  That’s the only way you can help James and the crew grow!

YEA!  Kevin and the gang at ADVENTURE BEACH AIRSOFT are planning another prop-filled, task-risk and WELL-RAFFLE’d weekends….with BLACK HAWK DOWN, down at the NC/SC Border!  CLICK THE PIC to hit the ABA FB Fan Page!

NICE Action from Gunny’s/Red Tactical’s big event last weekend down in the Queen City region…yea, that’s actually a “thing” here in the Carolinas!  LIKE/SUB and SHARE, plus drop some comments for the old Gnome so he’ll keep on gun-cam’ming the vids you like!

Man, what a weekend it was at The Beach, as the gang from the Carolina’s Valhalla ODA unit ramped it up in John Lu’s game at an abandoned amusement park!  Cool Video with KATNIP and the boyz!

This idea has been circling the on-ramp of my brain for a bit and for a first effort, not so bad.  You see the action, you see the firefights and the highlights…and lots and lots and LOTS of bad headcam video…from most of the major events.  Who actually asks the player what they think about the game experience, the A.O., how the producers “run” the ops?  Well, now THUMPY does with “What Players Think.”   Hear from random guys on the field who weigh in on big games and small sites …. more coming SOON!

Oh yea, the INSIDE SCOOP from the man, the myth and the legend...JOHN "Lion Claws" Lu!  After the Saturday session at Op Freelander 2, John took a couple minutes to answer Thump Questions...see and SHARE the video, and CLICK THAT PIC above to go directly to the Lion Claws homepage for more news on upcoming 2016 OPLC Series Events...

First recap video up from John Lu’s OP Freelander II in Myrtle Beach, SC over the weekend. Real world got in the way of Pew Pew World, so we only “shot” video and phots this time. BUT, we have a TON to show you, so get plugged in here or over at the socials as we push out some solid action, friendly friend shots and super interviews!

STRONG!  Operator Operating Operationally (OP3) has a cool “FIRST” look a last weekend’s action down in South Carolina, as American MilSim took over the GTI complex again!…

These videos are AWESOME, because Merlin did the hard work before he rolled video…he thought through the action, got cams and views from the right angles…then he tells a great story with a few words, and lets the ACTION take over!  GOOD STUFF!

WOW!  Multi-cams and a great setup…then MERLIN just lets the action flow across the MilSim West A.O. in South Carolina!  Er, Rostov.  Yea, Rostov….

WANT MORE?  Sure you do!  And get a look at another team’s views from the RAID ON ROSTOV last weekend, over at the VIOLENCE OF ACTION Team FB Fan Page…JUST CLICK THE PICS!

And our Media Mogul Man MERLIN is also ’embedded’ as a journo with the forces at MSW’s RAID ON ROSTOV….and because this event is close to Darlington, SC…great cell coverage is allowing media guys there to actually FILE COVERAGE FROM THE EVENT!

Wanna track the action where your are?  Hook up with Merlin’s FB FAN PAGE HERE….or hit his INSTAGRAM CHAN, where he’s also posting videos and phots!   GOOD HUNTING MERLIN!

Our buddy WALLACE LAU has the Z-SHOT “UAV” in the air over Darlington, South Carolina….as the very first MilSim West event east of the Mighty Mississip’ – Raid on Rostov – goes full-bore this weekend!  We’ll be passing along media coverage…but to get it when Z-SHOT posts it, and to see all their products and release info, why not CLICK THAT PIC above and LIKE and “Get Notifications” direct from their Facebook Fan Page, immediately as they post it?  DO THIS!

GUNNY’s got the video AAR up from the big Koreas War of the future-themed event held down in Charlotte-land a weekend ago…and, man…say this every time, but you BETTER have Gunny’s on your summertime play list! Lots more action to come!
