Huge Airsoft OP in PA - Over at the old abandoned Scranton Lace Factory. 300+ players, over 2 days (Saturday & Sunday) including a night op.

 

Some pics of the location:

Who cleans up all the plastic BB's? Hey those look like hydraulic presses in the last pic, ILL TAKE ONE!!!!

That's the place they went on the short lived salvage show with the clock tower and the bowling alley isn't it?

We used Bio Degradable BBs - they'll be gone within a year or two, provide there's enough sun/rain/moisture..... but that place is indoors so they'll probably be there for a while, lol.

 

There's boxes and stuff from back in the 80's and 90's.

The Clock Tower:

 

A YEAR OR TWO!!! Um I think I gotta rethink turning Jr. loose in the back yard with bio BB's if they take that long! Sounds like a blast. I love creepy, old abandoned buildings. There is a websight around with pictorials of them. Some were insane asylums and such.

Bio BB's in full sun/rain only take a couple months to degrade.

 

That looks like a blast. I've always wanted to try something like that. Seems like a ton of fun.

Sorry - I was thinking of regular non-bio bb's. Most bio's when exposed outside to wind/rain/sunlight SHOULD go away after a few months.

Awesome!

 

Hey is that a derelict building that someone keeps an eye on , or can just anyone go there and you won't get bothered?

It's a privately owned building (actually many buildings) and yes, someone keeps an eye on it.

Airsoft? People actually mess around with that stuff?

 

I'm a paintball guy, myself.

 

 

And I would like one of those hydraulic presses. It might come in handy...

More than you'd think. http://www.oplionclaws.com/

You know i've been wondering. In paintball when you're hit its usually quite clear. In airsoft do you just trust them to be "out" when they take a hit?

In every game there are some hit calling issues, but in games like this, generally everyone is sportsmanlike. People do get heated and stuff, but it's not too bad.

Got any contact info for them?

Wow , how cool! That looks like fun

 

I need a derelict building for an upcoming photography shoot , but a safe one. I can probably look them up and contact them with the info here . Thanks

I messaged the Event's coordinator to see if I could get the owner's contact info. Will let you know.

Thank you Nick

Looks like a cool weekend Nick. That place looks very mysterious. I bet if the walls could talk...................
