Battle in the Barn

Our latest outdoor-activity (or in other words, our latest fad) has been playing around with air soft guns. The guns shoot little plastic bbs and they shoot somewhere between 175-600 feet per second (fps).

IMG_0078_compressAir soft games are similar to paintball, but it is much less expensive to play, there is not paint and you don’t have to refill cO2.

We tried some outdoor fights like capture the flag, but we wanted to try a game that would have a lot of cover. Benjamin totally changed our shed (we’ve affectionately called it the “Barn”) and we added some cardboard boxes that we had. Notice: Our barn usually looks nothing like it is in the movie Smile, we just tried to get the most cover possible.

The video above is our first attempt at filming a battle, but I personally think it is very dull. The next day we had two cameras filming; one on the inside and one on the outside. It’s pretty fun to watch the fight from both angles because you can see each team’s movement.
