Battle of the Nations - Live steel fighting

The chat stream is alternatively annoying and amusing. They all say the same stuff, and then think they're so clever when they say it.

or you know, Milsim Paintball.

Milsim Airsoft is better. I play that all the time.

Whazzat? Tell me more.

My next game: http://www.warfareinc.org/ organized by my brother in law at this field: http://home.hiwaay.net/~mtdoom/

I also play with my redneck friends, those the only rule is we stop shooting when you scream/yell/beg for mercy. Thos are great fun too. 

[lustindarkness]

Well that didn't take long

I have to wait 'till tonight to watch it.

Also this is canada, acquiring a airsoft non-clear launcher is a paaaaaaain.

You know that Canada doesn't have a team in the games, but Quebec does, don't you?

Yes, I have yet to catch any of their bouts tho. Altho, youtube sucks from work.

Nasty leaping kick to the front of the knee on that Pole. Looked like they were down one man for the second round.

From the rules you linked, that could easily have been a yellow card.  Knees and feet seem to be a no-no.

@Malthus: swipes only, no thrusts, probably for that exact reason.

@Lusti: Yeah, a couple ex-forumites and I do that up here, too- I'm usually the asshole with the heavy-duty stuff in the 400+ FPS range, like my spring SWAT rifle.

Sweet. I use an MP5 I borrow or my own G36C. The G36 has performed awesome for 2 years now.

Today's stream:

Today are the finals 1 vs 1 and 5 vs 5. I admit I like these better than the 21 vs 21, because they're so much easier to follow on the stream.

Actually, if next year's tournament is held in a civilized country (i.e. not in Ukraine, Russia or thereabouts) I'm considering trying to get a few friends interested in visiting the tournament.

meri & Max: I'm afraid your man Reed lost to his Ukrainian opponent. My impression was he looked a bit passive versus the Ukrainian's aggression.

Love the American shield design, though.

Sorry about that.

Err .... someone pressed the wrong button?

Well that sucks.

I just got onto a computer, so I'm going to watch them all on time-delay. Thanks for the heads up on Reed, though. Yeah, that's just how he fights. He looks like he's relaxed, but really, he's all about conserving energy, and taking shots only when he knows they'll hit.

I thought this would be more interesting to me, but I found it a bit hard to watch. Maybe it is more exciting if you're there.

[Eddie Teach]

Great, RenFaire faggots prance around.

From the bit I saw, it was more like stumbling around like you're half-asleep or drunk.

Watchiung this is pretty cool.

However, it is only a matter of time before someone gets killed doing this. Armor or no armor, being struck full force with a metal weapon in the head could very easily be fatal. Much less a strike to the neck, intentional or not. And when those guys are going at each other, a illegal blow to the neck is going to be just as deadly whether it is against the rules or not.
