www.facebook.com/TaskForceSparrow#!/TaskForceSparrow Task Force Sparrow is a combat simulation organization that sets out to give average airsofters the needed training and knowledge to get started in more serious forms of tacsim/milsim. TFS is NOT a team. We offer various training courses as well as objective based skirmishes and mini-ops. We will also offer video series on gear reviews and "How-To" videos on functional loadout set-ups all the way to impression based loadouts. TFS is based in Texas and hosts events at local fields.

www.facebook.com/TaskForceSparrow#!/TaskForceSparrow Please go 'like' the page. Talked to some guys at the field at Reforger and everyone seems to be very interested in our plans. Still working on planning a few things out but we should be anouncing our first event soon for those who are interested.

Some schools will take months. It took more than 6 months for me to get admitted to UT (with some complications), but A&M took about two weeks, and UTSA only took a couple days. If it's a smaller school I doubt it will take too long though.

We just want a more in depth objective gameplay without having to turn away. Players because they can't afford certain things. We want as many people to come have fun and learn as we can get. |

I think the multiple mission scenario will really ramp up the gameplay.

I think the multiple mission scenario will really ramp up the gameplay. Thats what we hope. More in depth, dynamic missions make for more teamwork and more diverse skill sets. You cant just do the same game plan all day. You will have to change things up. |

Tx-Com needs to start fielding a morter and grenades if we are going to develop new skill sets. And probably one SAW.

But the intrrnal quality of an M4 is better as well as players can move faster and manuever much better with a smaller light weight gun. ROF doesnt help. I can suppress on semi auto just as good as someone can on full auto. Suppressive fire is to keep peoples head down. You dont need high ROF for that. |

They can do more damage when actually aiming for someone not just suppressing. |

Thats exactly whatvwe dont want. You dont need a lot of BBs to hit someone. Spray and pray is simply a lack of skill. Which is why I glorify assault rifles. Theyre just overall more effective. Same, ROF, easier to carry mags, lighter, more maneuverable. SAWs are cool but just not effective in my opinion.

You can provide just as good suppressive fire with an M4 as a saw in airsoft. And you can still be fast and effective as a whole team. Kinda surprised to see this comment since you 'Task Force Sparrow' are promoting milsim. I would expect to see that comment from someone that just skirmishes with Highcap mags and reloads on the spot out of a bag/bottle of bb's. ______________________ Milsim events require shooters to be restricted on ammo and mid caps and where they can reload those mid caps. A support weapon has the clear advantage at that point due to the lack of reloading and the increase BB capacity on the field. Support weapons ROF only becomes an issue with moving targets as your BB's per shot are spread out further. Higher ROF solves this problem. Higher ROF also adds a physiological aspect to the fight. A shooter can loose the fight out of fear or hesitation alone. Your comment on "suppressing with semi-auto" is interesting, since the basic principle is overwhelming firepower. You won't surpress a SAW when the exchange of BB's is every one of your shots is ten to fifteen of the SAWs and you will have to reload before the SAW does, which means your head is down and you are suppressed. |

My comments are referring to fire teams though. I completely agree that if it was a shootrr on shooter engagement then the person with a saw has the advantage in firepower. What I'm saying is I think a full squad of M4s is more effective than one wiyh a saw. Now of course it all depends on the shooter but I've seen countless numbers of players use. Saws who cant handle the weight, spray and pray, and just dont know how to use that weapon effectively. I don't think they're bad I just think it takes more skill to run a saw effectively and not just waste ammo but actually help your squad.

There is a reason why at milsim events normally only one SAW is allowed per squad they have a large advantage over a m4.
Maybe Wraven and I are misunderstanding your idea of MilSim. If you are just talking teaching military tactics etc. That makes more sense, but if you are talking about MilSim that is used for OP game types then I'm abit confused by previous post as well.
Milsim has very strict uniform requirements, mag , and gun limitations.

I havent refered to milsim or tactics I'm just saying as a platform M4s are more versatile. Simply because they're easier to use. Most people don't know how to use a saw, like my previous comment explained. I'm not disagreeing with you guys concering BB limit and mag count. I'm just explaining that a squad is better off giving everyone M4s than giving an unequipped player a saw. If you have a player who knows how to use it than yes it can be very effective. I completely agree with you.

It's good fun though.
