FireKnife Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 True, there is guns we are likely to see and those that are allowed, only just. Basically i would gather we would get a lot of players turn up with either M1911A1's or Thompson's, maybe even M500's and bolt actions, but i doubt the turn out will have a lot of 'obscure' weapons. As i am not looking at more than 30-40 players anyway (20 would be best i say) i doubt much will be else other than the above. FCS Bristol, when i played, got 10-15 of us and it gave loads to do, i would say at a maximum 2-30 in a site like that would be ideal. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Kenworth W900 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Sorry, that figure was based around using Dragon Valley, which is what I think has been the best suggestion so far - mainly because I would personally like to see as many guys as possible there. But, its like you say, whatever site we use its only going to be 30-50 max so I don't think we have to worry about being strict with gun rules. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Well the rule you came up with of it was made by a certain date then it is fine. To be honest who out of those that have said yes they will play so far have a gun that is 90% period correct? 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 can you PM me some details for Dragon valley airsoft site please. things like a map of where it is, and if they have a website link that too please. Again on the gun restrictions . if most people show up with period correct guns, and the rest have lookalikes then i would be happy. if someone shows up with an m4 i would kick them off site personally Link to post Share on other sites
Kenworth W900 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 http://www.dragonvalley.co.uk/ its a really good site - the website I mean. Everything you need to know is on there. BTW, if we did use it or one similar (Urban/Open site) then we could always just limit ourselves to one part of the 'map' in oreder to keep things more tight quarters. I dont think anyway of us would have qualms about hurting the feelings of a guy with an M4 if we kicked him out. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Hell no, when we say 1930's guns and give a list that is what we expect, if they don't have that then they can go. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Kenworth W900 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Yeah, as long as there is a clear list of what is accepted then there shouldn't be any problems because it is set out in Black and White for all to see. Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Thats on the other side of the country from me. same with FCS bristol, its just too far away. I would probably come, but i'd need to sort transport out. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 And dates, along with interest from others, as there is only 3 of us at the moment. But at least this is cheap a loadout to do. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites

But at least this is cheap a loadout to do. 'FireKnife' Aye, heres mine so far: -old school leather hat -cheap brown pinstripe suit -dark brown belt -shoes (not the ones I will wear, they have no grip whatsoever, I will use brown boots) -old school hunting overcoat -beige shirt (will probably use white instead) Pics still needs: -brown waistcoat -tie -holster/pouches -my brown boots -gun (obviously) Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Hat looks a bit more Aussie outback, but better than some hats i have seen some people own. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Kenworth W900 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 That would be because it is - Jacaru, Wallaroo Oil to be exact . It may change to a Fedora, but if not it still looks good for my Prohib loadout. Which BTW, I am basing around a lawman from Texas or some other big butch state law agency brought into catch Dillinger, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Try Last Man Standing for reference then, 30's Gang film set in Jericho Texas, best 1911 porn film with great shoot outs. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Kenworth W900 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Just checked it out on the IMFDB, you have been found to be absolutely correct on two counts. Firstly that it is great for 30's Texas loadout reference, and secondly that its M1911 porn. I HAVE to watch that now, I love Christopher Walken and Brucey too, so why not.

FireKnife Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Well duh, that is why it is my tagline. I just can't get enough of them, the only other gun i love that much is the TT-33 but as no airsoft replica exists i am more than content with my 1911A1's, especially as by this time tomorrow i will have two. I am even planning a 1911 appreciation day in 2011. But yes LMS is a good shootout film, even if a bit of an odd idea. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Kenworth W900 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Back on topic: Winchester Model 12 Mossberg M500 ^very similar^ Whereas this I don't think this does fit in so well: Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 True but the pics could have fit the page better. But if only one turns up then i don't mind, so long as it is 6mm, no 8mm at all. EDIT: Opp never mind the page shrunk them just then. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Kenworth W900 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 My list: Pistols: M1911/M1911A1 Luger P08 C96 Colt .25 Pocket S&W M&P / Model 10 Rifle / Shotguns: Springfield M1903 Mauser M98 / K98 Winchester 1982 Mad Max Sawn Off Mossberg M500 (black & wood) VSR-10 realshock APS2 Sporter M1917 (Lee Enfield) C96 Carbine Ruger Mk.II carbine (custom wooden foregrip?) Submachine Guns: M1928 Thompson M1A1 Thompson Automatic Rifles: BAR M14 (oldschool) Unsure: Walther PP / PPK (as they were made in early 1930’s but would be tough to get into the US). Beretta M1934 (could be an earlier model like the ’31 but again same problem as the PPK). Ruger Mk.1 (as an alternative to the Colt Woodsman but a bit powerful for pistol use).

FireKnife Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 The only one that is a no is the Ruger carbine, the Mk1 is acceptable as it can represent the Colt Woodsman, but the rest is fine. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Kenworth W900 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Fairplay, but I am not sure that a 450fps pistol is a good idea anyway. Question is, can anyone add to that list? If so make your ammendments now - but be as strict as possible about it. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Well if you put 134a in the C96 and Ruger Mk.1 pistols they are both sub 1j if i remember rightly. But we could be worse on our limits, like having only US weapons, though i doubt you will see many players with Luger's and such anyway. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 the ruger is 400FPS on green, making it probably 350-360 on duster. not really good enough The m1892 is closer to 500 FPS on green, so even if i do have one, it probably wont be coming. (might bring it just for the photos) Just a note on the mosberg shown above, those ghost sights are the only difference between that and the other m500 you put up, and IIRC the ghost sights come off with just some screws from the outside. you want a TT-33? I just so happen to have two airsoft TT-33s. One is currently under the knife to make it a colt 1903. what films should i watch before this game. we need a list for that too Public enemies Last man standing oh brother where art thou? more please Link to post Share on other sites
GuzziHero Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I would be very interested in this though finding period clothing is hard. I asked for some advice on 50's era clothing for a Dragnet loadout on here some time back and got sod-all feedback from anyone. Period weapons is also hard as heck. Would a Python be permitted for revolvers? How about M79s to simulate break-breach shotguns (which they practically are anyway). I dont really see many usable rifles or any SMGs other than the Thompson. Movies? The Untouchables Road To Perdition Also, although they are later-era, almost any episode of the original Dragnet (with Jack Webb) could be used for mission ideas. Link to post Share on other sites
Kenworth W900 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 It's a yes from me on the revolver front, any black revolver that hasn't got anything too modern about it, e.g. tritium glo sights is okay by me. Plus, its a handgun and from what I can tell we are currently trying to promote as much use of handguns as possible for this game. No for the M79 though, it doesn't seem right at all somehow. Just a note on the mosberg shown above, those ghost sights are the only difference between that and the other m500 you put up, and IIRC the ghost sights come off with just some screws from the outside. I was referring to the finish, not the sights. My point is that somehow allowing the silver M500 seems an allowance to far - or at least it does to me. Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 M79 definatly not. There was nothing like that in the real world of 1920-30s gangland fighting. "breach break" shotguns is all well and good, but moscarts are in a different liegue. Python, probably. Its the wrong era but its similar to the revolvers of the time. as with a lot of the other things, its accepted but not requested . Link to post Share on other sites
