Airsoft Events: Tac City Boot Camp

Hey there airsofters, Grim here with some info on an upcoming event for those of you that are new to the sport of airsoft and those that want to hone their skills further. Tac City North (South El Monte location) is conducting their annual summer boot camp from June 25th through June 29th, July 23rd through July 27th and August 27th through August 31st. 

This would be a great opportunity for those of you out there who have no idea what a buffer tube is, or what the hell the other players are talking about when they yell "watch your flank!" As you can see from the info below, there are some great bonuses to be had for signing up, not the least of which is a FREE GAS BLOWBACK PISTOL OF YOUR CHOICE when you sign up for all three weeks. If you've ever been in the Tac City pro shop, you know that they have some pretty sweet KWA pistols that can get as expensive as $200.00. Not to mention all the free swag that I'm sure the vendors will be providing for those in attendance. Hope to see y'all there. Yeehawww! Sorry, I don't know where that came from. It's late. Good night.

Welcome!

Hello folks, and welcome to the inaugural post for the Spic Ops Airsoft blog! I'm Grim, leader and found of SPIC Ops Airsoft Team and admin of this here airsoft blog. Here we will post reviews of gear, guns, the fields we play at and any airsoft related news we feel the need to share with the airsofting community.

But first, some history! I've been playing airsoft consistently for about two years now, but prior to that it had a few years since a friend of mine invited me out to Tac City in South El Monte for an evening of airsoft. Or for me, it was an evening of running around, rushing to cover and getting shot in the face when I would poke my head over cover like a n00b. However, that cemented my love for the sport and ever since then I have been a supporter and airsoft aficionado.


After seeing airsoft videos from awesome teams like Rainbow Airsoft, Infidel Airsoft, and videos Scoutthedoggie, Evike, and AirsoftGI I decided it was time to step up my game and graduate from swap meet quality AK 47's. Within the last couple of years I've taken the sport more seriously and have been gathering quality gear, guns and refining my play. I've also recently gotten my brother addicted to the sport, so we now play together whenever possible and have formed a loose sort of team which I've dubbed Spic Ops. You'll also be seeing/reading reviews from both of us on this blog from time to time and hopefully some play videos in the near future, once we get a helmet cam.

My brother and I are always looking for some positive, committed players to hang out with, so if you are interested in meeting up one day to sling some plastic, feel free to contact us!
