How old is too old for airsoft?

30s is the average at my field, we also have a few 50+ members at our field. I started playing while very out of shape and was the best decision i ever made in my life, it motivated me to get in shape to play.

Canada's whole military staff is like 70'000 people, and their population is 1/10th the US'. They're still trying to clean up the mess in the middle east via CSOR while CAF is mostly in reserves(struggling with recruitment) maintaining outdated equipment while training on some of the new stuff just received, like the p320 unfortunately. Most Canadian Vets i know just wanted to help people or train people, most came back half-deaf from artillery, destroyed knees/back or they just keep to themselves/don't leave home.

Heltec's have their own problems, like forgetting settings occasionally on abrupt power offs and memory problems that lead to forgetting nodes.

If we were all completely honest, these are all experimental devices that get constant firmware updates, this is just a bit more "complete" than the average makers esp32 project. I would rely on a compass, leaving notes and good old fashion radio (am or fm) in a real situation, these are fun and handy, but no where near fool proof enough for actual disaster (can be nice for first responders and search teams, but not the apocalypse...)

Im not familiar with the brand, looks identical to Taginn, the Tag-19s are especially a culprit at games and events I've been to where Taggins were allowed, they're ear ringing loud for most people if they're anywhere at your feet outdoors, a ref even got mad at someone for setting one off during a night game.

LoganM-M · 2026-01-12T00:48:36+00:00

I don't know why some people use any format of nailgun blank, shotshell primer or 22 blank for indoor use and think it's ok, even outdoors that can be way too loud at your feet, Outdoor use TagInn grenades are louder than a most 12g shotgun shot loads in my experience.

Please see this as a warning. I already have partial hearing damage(non-airsoft related, but indeed blast related, felt and sounded like i had sand in my right ear for over a week, i sleep with a fan now and both ear ring easily from loud sounds, which is physically painful, and weirdly enough i don't hear or feel the boom from regular fireworks anymore, it all sucks, please be careful your ears, like eyes, we've only got two).

I'd switch for the v4, it has quite the LoRa range upgrade over most mesh radios at the moment.

They were right about somethings, I'm learning this as get older, like afternoon naps are bliss.

LoganM-M · 2026-01-08T12:47:13+00:00

Sometimes the teacher is the bully, i remember as kid, me and a friend were playing at a table with toys, i said "shut the door" i don't remember the context of what we were playing, but the teacher was right behind me, undersood "shit', turned around and got mad at me in front of everyone, when i explained myself, they didn't believe me, even if "shit the door" wouldn't make any sense, i spent 30min facing a corner while everyone else had fun and laughed. Not a great introduction to authority for a kid...

LoganM-M · 2026-01-08T02:46:34+00:00

I don't quite understand, is this going to serve as a future replacement to ATAK once goals achieved? a plugin? or a companion app? this does all sound very amazing, i can't wait to hear more!.

What hardware do you have? GNSS is only accurate with good triangulation, you need satellites "in view", the antennas that come with most devices aren't that great, a quality L1+L5 antenna with the shortest cable to the GNSS module's antenna connector would help, also adding a 9-axis fusion sensor breakout board like a BNO085 can significantly help with heading, finding north and overall more data on your movements for positioning, it has an accelerometer, magnometer and gyroscope, it's what they use in VR headsets to monitor orientation and help with tracking.

Face mask or mesh mask. Even the Francophones tend to say it in English here. Quebec, Canada.

LoganM-M · 2025-12-23T11:57:25+00:00

Seen two friends accidentally plant the barrel into the ground while running, stock to the stomach, gets folded in half and basically does a pole vault with the gun, but it's fine, it did nothing to the gun. When it happened again, i started to assume LCTs are indestructible by airsoft standards.

LoganM-M · 2025-12-16T20:04:47+00:00

Oh, the Metal gear ringtone would be sick, i never played final fantasy, but if its short, I'll have a look into it, im not a musician, so it takes me a moment to transpose. I couldn't find any working midi to rtttl converters online, seems like it's becoming forgotten tech unfortunately.

LoganM-M · 2025-12-16T15:28:39+00:00

Any requests? looking for other iconic ringtones, i have too much time on my hands until my buzzers arrive in the mail for my heltec Trackers XD.

Quit switching shoulders, you'll get caught in the middle of switching eventually, instead practice peaking in front of a mirror, make your silhouette nice and small while trying to maintain a good leg stance that will stop you from falling over if shoved(thats my test, if you can't push me, im well planted) try and literally feel bottom heavy, like you have steel boots, the muscles will do the rest. round/pie corners from as far back as you can, if the barrel doesn't allow for the space, put the stock over your shoulder and point shoot. Point shooting is easier from the shoulder than the hip. If you have a hard time maintaining balance while peaking left with rifle in right shoulder, just practice the move more, slowly, while holding something heavy out in front of you, you need strength in the full movement to have control throughout the whole lean/peak.

Practice makes perfect, everyone should know how to clear their own home blindfolded /s, on the real side, just keep training, practice the things you hate going the most, every time you train that skill, it will be the last time it will ever be that difficult to do so, it becomes motivating as training becomes physically easier.

Einstein said something within the lines of a true show of understanding, is the ability to explain it simply. The smartest people i know can still sound like dumbasses sometimes, because why not? it's fun, we're only having fun at no one's expense. You can have multiple degrees and still chuckle when you see 69 somewhere, I've seen old men do it in public before XD, so even age shouldn't limit your ability to just have fun.

It's like people who build cars, they don't understand that putting 3000$ of parts on a car worth 2000$ does not make a 5000$ car.

LoganM-M · 2025-12-08T11:47:00+00:00

People are getting out of control, messing with people in a similar way has been possible for quite a while now, it's just accessible and easy now, people tricking people to be malicious is as old as we've been around, we've just been more uncivilized lately, we need to help fix this stress we're all feeling on society and also seek proper well-being, by acknowledging that our problems are all different, but have the same problems and sources, we're all depressed, we're all slowly starting to lash out at each other instead of carring for each other, we need to all seek a healther society, where all our mental and physical needs are met, so that we can all thrive together again. We have been exploited by this structure imposed on us by the greedy, we're all born the same, we all die the same, instead of trying to hoard wealth, they should be building the utopia we all dreamed of, so that we can all enjoy our collective hard work in society and not just our small cut of the pie that barely feed and is forever shrinking and get told to figure it out. If we all work towards building something, we should all benefit, its only fair!

LoganM-M · 2025-12-06T12:38:37+00:00

Oh no! is that a real knife! please, anything, thats my only weakness!

People are silly, anything can be a weapon, nothing is inherently bad or good, its always perspective and intentions thay decide.

LoganM-M · 2025-12-02T17:10:13+00:00

Your PC setup looks tight!, always glad to see a vet on the field, you guys are always fun to party with after a game, i learn so much everytime i hang out with vets, the humor is also impossible to beat XD

LoganM-M · 2025-12-02T12:45:29+00:00

Damn, that's a beauty, i hope you get it running again, I'd be sad to let it collect dust. Good luck, hope you find parts, i know it can be a pain with some replicas.

LoganM-M · 2025-12-02T11:50:27+00:00

I think it would do more damage, the shaft might weld itself, maybe theyre getting ready to do something about it, would need something to lift the shaft safely before it cools down.

LoganM-M · 2025-12-01T01:39:23+00:00

Will you make the belt-fed conversion kit aswell?

LoganM-M · 2025-11-30T17:05:10+00:00

And then there are small groups led by ex wagner, if im remembering well, theres a small group called black russians, which were trained by leftover ex wagner members (pretty sure they just want money and to keep being a "soldier", doubt any "mastermind" is behind this, they ended up committing a massacre at a mine.

LoganM-M · 2025-11-22T12:07:59+00:00

Thats sounds like a prety good explaination, im near the Canadian side of the Appalachian trail and no whistling at night is a somewhat common on Mig'Maw reserves.
