Operation Red Sleigh Down VII: Dec 10 2011 @ SASCO

[yellow_fever]

Really? I didn't have any of that on my guns.

By the way, please don't ever use those stickers again. It left a ton of sticky shit and the silver "void" letters on my guns now that I am taking it off of them. Its gonna be a bitch to get it all off because I really don't want to put goo gone on my AEG right were the damn motor is.

Why not leave it on?

take a damp rag and nuke it for 1 minute and the rub lightly over the sticker it will come off really quick with most of the sticky stuff then take like a Clorox wipe and wipe off the residue.

Get used to it if you plan on doing a lion claws event. I had the void labels on all my guns fir a while. It will wear off over time. They use those stickers to help identify people who tamper with guns mid game(or overnight in the lionclaws events).

This is what I ended up doing.

I figured as much. Its fine for things like that, but for a 3-4 hour game? I haven't had any problems with the zip tie system at all.

Because its my gun and I don't want a shiny silver sticker on it.

Theres my complaint. Take it or leave it.

Thanks for the feedback on stickers. They usually don't leave any residue, however if they get warm enough (such as when close to a motor) they will. Warm damp cloth should work, if you really want to zip through it a little rubbing alcohol will cut right through it.

On that topic, these are actually very close to becoming the standard in AZ and already are the standard for national OPs much of the time. We are working with AA right now to come up with a standard sticker that is about 1/4 of the size we used this weekend but have the same properties. The idea is that if you have a valid sticker from a previous op you may be able to skip chrono.

The "VOID" mark is the intent of the sticker. That tells me that it did exactly its purpose.

If you simply use your thumb to rub over the "VOID" marks it takes 1 or 2 passes with your thumb to remove all of the residue.

Its not difficult. If you would all like, the next time I will remove it for you at the end of our next operation. I removed several completely on Saturday.

OLCMSS stickers are much smaller, about the size of a quarter. They are a bit more unobtrusive, but function exactly the same. And again, it only takes a thumb pass or two to rub it off.

Most of the Arizona Operation organizers were at the game and I was present for this discussion. It will likely happen. Also we talked about "Pre-register Chronographing" This means that an AA official and an TAC official could chrono your gun prior to the game and sticker it. This will save time that the chrono takes up prior to the game. The no one has been chosen but I imagine that Gearbox Airsoft will be the location for AA.

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through SASCO
Not a creature was stirring, not even a Airsofter;
The C4 were hung by the Smelter with care,
In hopes that Tan soon would not be there;
The Green Team were nestled all snug in their Base,
While visions of Drug Money danced in their heads;
And players in there 'gear, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long fight ahead,

When out near the smelter there arose such a clatter,
Tan sprang from the base to see what was the matter.
Away to the pillars they flew like a flash,
Tore the first wave and threw up red rags.
The blood on the breast of the dusty flat land
Gave the lustre of battle to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a combat brigade, and thirty tan players,

With a little old commander, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be Old Scrooge.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now, CT! now, Saguaro! now, Tan and Green!
On, Phantom! on 52 Zulu! on, 49th commandos and everyone else!

To the top of the Hill! to the top of SASCO!
Now fire away! fire away! fire away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to the smelter-top the coursers they flew,
With the Nissan full of toys, and Old Scrooge too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the radio
The clicking and firing of each little gun.
As I drew in my pistol, and was turning around,
Down the Mountain came with a bound.

He was dressed all in camo, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with sweat and blood;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a terrorist just opening his pack.
His eyes -- how they dulled! his dimples how scary!
His grenades were like pineapples, his guns he did carry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up in a tight lip,

Must not forget CSI unit was as white as the snow;
The pace of their walk was like grinding teeth,
And the coms gear it encircled the head like a wreath;
One had a grenade launcher and a little round bombs,
That shook, when they launched like a bowlful of bbs.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old softer,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his finger,
Soon shoot me out but I had nothing to dread;

He spoke not a word, but went straight to the next bomb,
And diffused all the explosives; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his gun,
And giving a nod, up the hill he rose;

He sprang to his Nissan, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the frags from a grenade.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,

"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night."
