Thumpy Covey's insight:

Apparently the Norwegians have discovered the need for a proper Command Post guard at Airsoft events. Top is from BERGET 13, 2015 in Sweden…one of the world’s premiere events. Bottom is loveable old Thumpy at Fulda Gap Scenario, America’s premiere big game, calling in airstrikes from his HQ “bunker.” Thanks to Elling Moen and his buddy Lars Gunner Erga for pushing along some fantastic pictures from BERGET!…THUMPY…OVER!

Milsim West Strike on the Steppes - Final Day Indirect Fire - 9th Group on YouTube

Milsim West Strike on the Steppes - Final Day Indirect Fire - 9th Group on YouTube | Thumpy's 3D House of Airsoft™ @ Scoop.it | Scoop.it

“Indirect fire provided by Weapons Platoon at Milsim West: Strike on the Steppes. Both members aren’t part of 9th Group but we thought we would post the video of them anyways.


Check out our Facebook:

Thumpy Covey's insight:

Again, vertical video syndrome…but watch how cool this looks! One of the things that MilSim West has added over ordinary games…you need a crew to serve a crew-served weapon, you need a spotter/team to CALL FOR FIRE…and you want some auditory feedback on both ends of the mortar strike…where the arty sims and smoke downrange come in!

MilSim West, in conjunction with Tactical Tailor, is proud to announce the MilSim West Radio Pouch!


The most commonly used radio in airsoft is the Baofeng UV-5R. They are cheap and easy to program however their small size means they won’t fit well in standard radio pouches sized for military radios like the PRC-148 and PRC-152. Until now there has not been a commercially available..."

Thumpy Covey's insight:

Now THIS is how you become an INNOVATOR!  MSW knows good events, they know good kit…what works and what DOESN’T.  And, drawing on their real-mil experience in the Long War…and their need for milsim comms protection and performance at a price-point their customers can afford, they worked with real-gear manufacturer Tactical Tailor to create this new radio pouch.  Read about it and get “hooked into the ‘net” to get yours as they start flying off the TT production line soon!….CLICK THE PIC to ask questions or get details from Joshua, Brian and the gang at MSW’s Facebook Fan Page!

COMMS: These radios can KILL...the story on popular 2 WAYS causing problems! - NBC Philly | Thumpy's 3D House of Airsoft™ @ Scoop.it | Scoop.it

“Lichtenstein also urges parents to always know what their children are doing. While the interference hasn’t led to any life-threatening situations, first responders say the risk is there if children continue playing on frequencies not meant for fun and games.


Thumpy Covey's insight:

CLICK THE PHOTS TO SEE THE VIDEO STORY from NBC Philadelphia!


Thumpy Notes: It is well documented that UNLICENSED USE of these radio TRANSMITTERS, by people other than Ham Radio operators AND ON FRS/GMRS Frequencies IS A FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) Rules Violation, punishable at the FELONY LEVEL, with huge fines AND prison time possible!  Do NOT be the Airsoft Player who does this and gets busted!  Being “COMMS STUPID” and AIR STUPID is no excuse! 


THUMPY…OVER!
