The level of complexity to assemble the unit wasn’t quite IKEA level in terms of difficulty. But setting it up the first time was a bit of work. With practice you can get down to about 3-5 minutes. It includes an Allen wrench but I found the screws on the stand to be waaaay tight. Other reviewers have reported similar problem out of the box. I recommend a good ratchet to get them loose. I used a rubber mallet.
Shemaghs/Arab-style head wraps are a simple way to identify and separate forces in a game. Shemagh’s are inexpensive, but here’s a simple way to create a ‘shemagh’ look using a t-shirt. Or you can use it to create a mock ninja-style balaclava look.
T-Shirt Shemagh = knot on top of your head
T-Shirt Ninja = knot behind your head
1. Put your head into the t-shirt but don’t push your head through the neck hole. Position the neck hole in front of your face.
2. Grab the sleeves and tie them into a knot above/behind your head.
3. Secure with your goggles.
4. Allahu Akbar!
ABOUT
Inspired by the video games FALLOUT® and WASTELAND 2®, this event will feature unique rules designed to simulate the experience of leveling up and survival/scrounging in a post-apocalyptic world. Teams will compete to earn donations for their respective charities: The California Academy of Science and the Intrepid Sea Air and Space Museum.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Operation:Wasteland is a sci-fi variant of a MilSim airsoft game. All factions start with limited ammunition and must find extra ammo on the field or trade bottle caps for more from the Caravan or The Merchant. Teams must find RadAway Pills and hoard them in their HQ. The team with the most RadAway Pills at the end of the game will be the winner. Teams may attempt to raid other teams’ HQ for their Pills and supplies.

In the aftermath of an outbreak of Ebola, a third of Congo’s population is dead and the country is in open civil war. The CDC (U.S. Centers for Disease Control) has put out a bounty for fresh virus samples from the affected regions to try and isolate the new Ebola strain. The country is split into 4 warring factions. Each faction has sent armed medical teams into the hot zone to find the most viral samples.

HPA TOURNAMENT LOCK REQUIRED FOR ALL NYC AIRSOFT EVENTS
All players who wish to run HPA powered guns must own and come equipped with specialized tournament locks that completely cover their regulator and are zip-tied shut (by us) to prevent adjustment to their power valve. Older style regulators with zip tie holes to block keys will no longer be acceptable; nor is taping over your valve. Each regulator is different and unique. Please help comply so we can avoid an all-out ban of HPA guns. Here are some examples of Acceptable Tournament Locks. Others are available from your regulator maker: https://www.evike.com/search/?search_in_description=1&sort=3a&keywords=Tournament+Lock&x=0&y=0
“This is why we can’t have nice things…”
While many experienced and honorable players use and play airsoft with HPA guns without any issues, our sport’s worst cheaters and malicious players are drawn to any mechanical advantage that allows them to lord it over other players. HPA guns allow a user the ability to easily adjust the FPS and ROF of their guns after chrono testing. HPA gun’s electronic triggers allow them very responsive semi-auto fire, to the point, that they can effectively fire as fast as full-auto guns. Our only other option is to completely ban HPA guns (which some Milsim producers have done). We hope it doesn’t come to that.
