Local Games Listing/RSVP / Crossfire's annual summer camp out event
« on: June 16, 2015, 10:26:35 AM »
Free Summer Airsoft event hosted by Crossfire

Crossfire is back at it again! We hosted this event the last two years and had an amazing turn out both times, with all the positive feedback, we went back to the drawing board and came up with improved scenarios and new objectives.  Bio Degradable BB's are required for this event.

People are going to hate us, some will complain.....we can take it.  We really wanted to host our game in a new location this summer, however things fell through at the last minute.  We will be changing the game location to the location we hosted last year.  It will be in the Apache Sitgreaves National Forest.  Please see link for new location below.  Read the entire post as there are multiple updates.
Updated 7/29/15[/color]
From highway 260 turn left on Rim road/FR 300/Woods Canyon Lake.  Continue on FR 300 approximately 8 miles.  Turn right on FR 169.  Continue on FR 169 for approximately 7 miles.  Turn right on FR 119, continue down 119 for 1 mile, camp site on the left.

There will be signs posted with "CF" in big letters.  If you have any questions PM me.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and hope you will still come out

When: July 31 to August 2, 2015
Where: On the Rim, Apache Sitgreaves National Forest

34°26'31.0"N 110°52'39.1"W This is from google maps so don’t know how accurate it is but imagine it is close enough

The forest service knows we are coming and a Ranger is expected to stop by sometime on Friday night or Saturday.  They have my name and contact info, therefore if they stop by please direct them to me.  I will introduce myself at the game briefing; I will also be the one doing the game briefings.  If a Forest Ranger shows up to our site please follow these basic tips:
-always follow directions given by the officer
-always address the officer as "Officer" (they like that)
-always show respect for authority
-if an officer approaches while preparing for a game or messing with your gear, set it down, step away from gear and keep hands visible
-If you are walking around with your airsoft gun when an officer approaches, set down it down (lean against a tree if you have to) keep your hands visible and free of objects
-even if officer is wrong, on the spot is not the time to disagree or resist, police departments have a process for civilian complaints or court of law depending on situation
A few things to consider prior to coming to this activity; pick up after yourself, clean as you go, the Forest Service does not tolerate people littering.  Bring trash bags to pack your trash and take with you when you leave.  The area we are going to be in should be just as clean if not cleaner than before we got there.  See http://www.fs.usda.gov/detailfull/asnf/home/?cid=STELPRD3847277&width=full  we want to be good stewards of the forest and show that this is an activity that we can continue to do without causing problems with the Forest Service.  If you spot wildlife leave them alone, do not shoot nor attempt to shoot your airsoft gun at any animals regardless of size.  Do not cut down any trees.  If we all follow these simple rules the activity will be a success and set us up for next year.
Updated 7/29/15[/color]

Schedule (subject to change):
If you can't come Friday please come join us Saturday morning.

Friday-afternoon
•   Set up camp and familiarize yourself with the terrain
•   Eat dinner
•   Play short games as people arrive

Friday night sniper challenge - half the players will divide up into a sniper team, a sniper team consists of a sniper and a spotter.  The other half will defend the playing field.  The snipers objective is to remain hidden and hit the target without getting hit.  If the sniper or spotter are hit the team must return to the starting point and try again. 

Other games Friday night as desired

Saturday-

Wake up, eat breakfast, chronograph guns, gear up, and separate into teams…

Chrono begins at 0830

0900 - Pilot Rescue: Both teams must Search for and secure the pilot.  Once you have secured the pilot he will tell you where the intel is located but only if he is on your team, if he is not on your team he will not tell you where it is but may give hints.  Teams must battle for possession of both the Pilot and the intel. Your team cannot take possession of the intel unless you already have possession of the pilot.  The game is over when one team takes possession of both, returns to their base and defends and maintains possession of the pilot and intel for 20 minutes or until time runs out. 

1030 - Capture the flag: Each team will have several flags in their possession.  Your teams objective will be to capture a point and hoist your flag.  If the opposing teams flag is already there you must take the flag and replace it with yours.  Once you hoist your flag you must defend it.  Points can be retaken as many times as necessary.  The team with the most opposing flags wins.

1200 - lunch break

1300 - Squad based game.  This game, as the title states will be squad based.  You and your squad will be given an objective to achieve. Build your squad before the game, or combine with others the day of.  We will be running squad based missions for this game.  If you are a sniper this is your time to shine.  Come with your best camo and tune your sniper rifle, don't forget to have a spotter.

1500 - Escort the VIP.  One team will start with possession of the VIP, their goal will be to safely escort the VIP to the safe zone.  Once in the safe zone you must successfully defend the zone and VIP for 20 minutes.  Along the way to the safe zone there will be respawn points, each time the VIP is hit he must respawn at one of these locations. If the VIP is hit while in the safe zone, one minute is deducted from the current time of possession, so with every hit on the VIP time is increased.

6 pm - Dinner time, for those who stay.

Night games played and organized by those remaining.

Sunday-

Wake up, clean up camp and go home

Gear Needed:

Airsoft equipment - Guns, ammo (Bio BB's are required), magazines, batteries, accessories etc.

PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) - Safety glasses, goggles, or metal mesh goggles (EYE PROTECTION IS REQUIRED)

Game gear - 2 green and 2 blue chem sticks for night games(can be found at most sporting goods stores and Wal-Mart), A red bandana or red rag for deaths. We would like to see everyone wearing full camo and if you don’t have camo wear all black or dark green.

Camping and Airsofting: You are responsible for your own camping and Airsofting gear as well as food and drinking water. Be sure to bring at least one gallon of drinking water per day. You are responsible for picking up and hauling out your own trash when you leave. 


General Concerns: PPE is REQUIRED at all times during gameplay!! We will be playing 200 Yards away from our camp minimum. We will be playing respawns and medic rules, these rules will be further discussed at the pre-game briefings. Keep foul Language to a minimum out of respect for others. No one under 16 is permitted to play without a guardian, if you are under 16 you must be playing with your guardian on your team and cannot play unless said guardian is playing in the current game. We will be divided into teams before we play and teams will be separated by uniform. At night you will need to communicate with your team and know of their whereabouts at all times. For each scenario there will be a mission statement and briefing. We will have a chronograph and tags, so have your guns ready.

Crossfire will not have any BB's, death rags or any other items for sale.  Please come prepared to play.

FPS limits: 385 w/.25
Snipers/DMR 530 w/ .25's Single Fire ONLY minimum range 100’

These games, as well as all of Crossfire’s games are free. We are not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged property. If you choose not to follow safety guidelines and game rules or are found harassing other players unnecessarily, you will be asked to leave. We only ask that you respect others and play honest and fair.
Thank you! - Crossfire

Hi everyone,
This is an advance notice to save the date in your calendar for the 3rd annual airsoft camp-out hosted by Team Crossfire.  The camp-out will start July 31st and clean up to return home is August 2, you may stay longer if you wish.  We will take care of the necessary permitting through the forest service, it is highly recommended that you bring and use only Bio BB's.

There will be a full moon that weekend so we will be hosting several night games on Friday and Saturday.  We have 4 big games planned for daylight hours on Saturday.  Our goal is to improve upon the fun and exciting games we had last year so this year should be better

You will be responsible for providing your own food and water, camping gear and cleaning up after yourself.  The fire restrictions should be lifted by this time, we will keep you posted.

Last year we had over 50 people in attendance, see photos at the link below, just scroll through there's about 18 photos. https://www.facebook.com/LynchTec/photos/pb.455470617913558.-2207520000.1431024659./543483472445605/?type=3&theater

Here is the link to last years posting http://www.airsoftarizona.com/index.php?topic=37994.0 at this link you will find links to youtube videos of the game

The location has not yet been chosen but it will be up on the rim. Just like the last two years. 

Just like last year LynchTec Airsoft will be onsite.  Tech support and Rental guns will be available at your own expense. 

No need to reply to this post with numbers of who is coming there will be a new post by mid June with more details and to sign up.  If you have video or photos from last year that you would like to share please feel free to post them here.  If you have questions post them here and we will make sure they are answered for everyone to see in the game post in June.

Troubleshooting / Locked gearbox
« on: February 23, 2014, 10:09:16 AM »
Here are the details
Gun: A&K M4 S-system
Battery: 9.6v 1600mah fully charged
Motor: A&K stock motor and matrix 3000 high torque motor
Spring: SP110

Hey guys, need to know if someone has had this problem and was able to solve it, it seems that there could be multiple causes and multiple solutions.  The gear box from my M4 keeps locking up (piston locked back, won't complete cycle), I would have to open up the gun and pull on the anti reversal latch to release the piston, fire again and same thing happens.  I have spent a few hours over the last couple of days looking on the web and through this forum and haven't really found a solid solution that fixes my problem. 

This problem keeps on happening to the gear box, some of the possible solutions i have found online are the following: "use a bigger battery" battery size should not be a problem, "install a high torque motor" as you can see high torque motor is used, "shave off the back of the tappet plate, plate preventing sector gear from completing rotation" haven't tried yet but may some time this week also why would this all of a sudden be the problem, plate looks intact with no visible problems, "gearbox shimmed too tight" without the spring and piston and with all screws tight gears rotate without problems. 

Any suggestions would help out a lot.  I have no problems working on my own guns and opening the gearbox and doing what needs to be done I just can't seem to find a solid solution to this particular problem. 

Thanks

Update:  My locked Gearbox has been fixed, I took it to LynchTec to have him fix it.  I can't remember what all he said he did to it (I was overcome with joy that it worked), he basically gutted the gear box, cleaned it out and put it back together, swapped out a few internal pieces, reshimmed the gears, provided a new high torque motor and cleaned up my wiring.  LynchTec provided excellent service and got my gearbox operational.  If your AEG needs worked on I highly recommend LynchTec....thanks Warlord

General Airsoft Discussion / Slam fire help
« on: September 03, 2013, 07:31:10 AM »
Hello all,
I have an AGM VSR10 that has a problem with slam firing.  I've already replaced the sear with a new one, it still slam fires.  In all I have tried 3 different Sear sets and none of them fix the problem.  Any ideas? 

FYI the only other thing I've upgraded is the spring (the steel piston I bought won't fit, so can't install it).

AEG's / S Systems
« on: August 14, 2013, 05:40:56 PM »
This post is meant to provide information for those who don't already know.  If you already knew this information than please spare all of us the posts "I could have told you that"........So I have an A&K S system M4 and last month the two tabs broke on the back of the upper receiver.  I looked and looked for an S system upper receiver but couldn't find one in stock any where.  Finally I found one at ehobbyasia.  For those who aren't aware the front of the upper receiver is different for the S System.  It took about 15 days to get to AZ from Hong Kong.  I received the part and noticed that it looked nothing like the picture on  the web site.  the front was threaded like the regular M4 upper.  Upon closer inspection i noticed two very small screws .  You can actually take the threaded part out of the upper receiver and replace it with the s system part (didn't know that). 

when you put it back together the back of the upper receiver does not match up perfectly so you may have to drill out the tabs a bit to insert the pin.  I'm just glad I was able to fix it.

P.S. I tried to post photos of what I am talking about but I'm too stupid to figure it out, and don't say "click the insert photo button" that does not work
