Airsoft GI - Interview with John Lu - The Creator of Operation Lion Claws MILSIM Games

[SMCincorporated]

What a nice man :) fair play to him

[DJAirsoft123]

Anyone know of any milsim places in Missouri???

[rml22222222]

u guys should expand to the east coast (massachussetts area), we have like no big milsim events here

[shnydafyda]

@rml22222222 True that! The only milsim events we have here have crazy age limits and cost a fortune. Because of this, I just stick to CQB.

[sackettistheman]

two people hate america. and anything that is fun

[420joepuff]

time u and john look both chinese is he ur fatha

[silenceimurderyou]

@420joepuff ...

[Richayh]

Will you be my new grandfather?

[ELITEclan100]

@Richayh sorry he's taken! :P

[southparkadiction]

what would airsoft be without Asians

[hollycow123445]

@southparkadiction well there might not be companies like JG and d boys...on the upside anyway! (:

[apoorpuppy]

I really kind of hate how Tim keeps going 'Mhm...'

[TheDracolord1234]

hey im 12 years old and i might be going to operation lion claws in the near future :D im kinda scared i mean people have gotten seriously injured but my mom called them and if i keep up my grades (im in accelerated learning classes.) i can go. i will be the youngest person to ever go

[AirsoftPK]

@TheDracolord1234 Wow, very nice.

1. WEAR MOUTH PROTECTION. Ignore what the players say. Players that make fun of a face mask are players that you don't want to be around any-who

2. LISTEN TO YOUR CO. Whenever you are given an order in the SIM, do it!

I'm jealous... My dad doesn't airsoft and I'm only 15 so I can't go.

[TheDracolord1234]

@AirsoftPK actually.... kind of weird my mom will be playing. lol

[MaisenTemple1]

@TheDracolord1234 Hey dude I am your exact age I may be going to the one in may if you're there than look for me i'm Maisen good luck buddy and i'm kinda scared to

[TheDracolord1234]

@MaisenTemple1 thats cool but i cant go this year i need to get some better gear and stuff

[MaisenTemple1]

@TheDracolord1234 yeah i am planing on getting the King Arms Colt M4 and a shitload of gas adn i might be getting an Eagle Industries CIRAS in Multicam.

[CCM543beastyness]

do a navy seals airsoft that be beast 

[codydjam]

great guy. im happy for his fortune. he is amazing in the air-soft community..

[OutFoxedAirsoft]

Roughnecks! At 5:09 :)

[geckoteen]

why are all the big airsoft stuff west coast and east coast nothing in the middle

[AirsoftPK]

@geckoteen Population distribution. Think about it.

[xGrimReaper13x]

hey tim i saw some videos of lion claws and people wear two different coloers if camo usually the woodland and the desert do you have to wear those colors?or can you wear whatever camo you have?

[ryanvega40]

Sc Village woop woop

[acmaster5959]

It would have been a much more in depth interview on "Shatner's Raw Nerve." !!!

[KnightRul]

TEXAS BITCHES!

[BlueFlamingSword1231]

Its just a very sexy place. lol

[zenkicookies]

damn i wish i could have done red storm.. i did the lion claws: army bday event in newhall, but i heard it was no where near as good as red storm..

[dbzty1]

it just very sexy place

[bf2142dude]

When are they going to have another major airsoft event in Southern California?

[RonMarsala23]

all rangers live in texas hu? lol my uncle jay is a ranger and he useto live in texas lol

[mrquackbunny]

product placement! look at that arrowhead water hes showing off the whole video.

[dannyguarino]

you guys should get an series started in the south west around Florida or Georgia

[Dinamarth90]

@dannyguarino By the way man it is South-East.

[dannyguarino]

@Dinamarth90 Lol my bad

[Origin305]

where do you guys normally organize games? Is it the whole nation? or a specific state or howsyour group work?

[S33KY]

john seems like a very nice guy

[rafmon223]

@S33KY real nice guy

[FortPolkAirsoft]

@S33KY Wish it was true what you say....However It's not John's true side...Trust me!

[amesairsoft]

@FortPolkAirsoft So tell me, how is he not a nice guy? I've never met him, but he seems pretty nice.

[IMSSC20]

By the way...I too prefer Airsoft MILSIM for obvious reasons although Paintball is fun, I would probably choose to rent than purchase my own gear. I like the tactical realism that Airsoft offers, not just for asthetic reasons but the similarities of functional usage in the field regarding the weaponry.

[sixlinewrasse]

I like his sunglasses.

[FlashDAH]

Please bring your idea of Operation Lion Claw to the UK possibly Wales as we have great land for battles here and would or could raise Airsoft awareness and rake in tones of money :D

Promotecheese2010 your totally right Airsoft is better !

Airsoft FTW

[RapManDeliverin]

haha very sexy place

[BrentK7]

Search "Zussman Tour" for a vid of my team walking around the AO before OpIrene VII started. It was a great site.

[TheManKiwi]

ha ha 911

[BAYCITYAIRSOFT]

how is that funny?

[money96plyr]

actually its 9/11....

[tekknorat]

That's an awesome story, how things become serious out of the jokes.

[Thrantos93]

@AlbertoMuse Well a walk in store in Texas, but not kapowwe it to far away from me. I live in Dallas.

[crazyaznpower12]

Is that a Blackwater t shirt that John Lu is wearing?

[1337airsoftgeek]

Read the logo. OP Lion Claws, lol

[crazyaznpower12]

my bad lol. looked like the blackwater logo though

[tekknorat]

it's pretty far from Blackwater logo, only the paw. Blackwater doesn't exist anymore, well under that name at least.

[benny714]

Excellent interview!!

[Jarrasek99]

Colonel McKnight? Nice.

[GrayArcAirsoft]

I'm upset with youtube...they don't let you give 10stars...

This was something different and in a good way. We all need more of these type of videos. The history of airsoft kinda.

Gonna fave this vid. Really cool.

[dcxSpartan117]

paintball is cool i used to play but i gotta say airsoft is better

[promotecheese2010]

bottom line:

airsoft is cheaper, easier to maintain, and is more realistic.

in other words, its better in every way

[DWINTERS14]

@promotecheese2010 Better then what?

[promotecheese2010]

i meant paintball

[DWINTERS14]

@promotecheese2010 Uh are you retarded? Airsoft is not better then paintball and vice versa. Comparing apples to oranges. Paintball is different, just because you have your preference doesn't make it "Better". This is exactly why airsofters and paintballers don't get along because of people like you. We can COEXIST.

[NallePu83]

I`m a airsoft gun...there are paintball guns that look realistic. Real Action Markers

[FlashDAH]

But they wont fire anywhere as far as BBs do. And arent as easily made into different weapons for example Airsoft M4's are identical tot he real think in every single way except their projectile.

[promotecheese2010]

first off, the way you addressed me makes me almost think you are troll.

airsoft IS better, for the reasons i just explained.

if you would like to present any points as to why you think paintball is so good, feel free to share.

none of the points i presented are opinions, they are all FACT

[DWINTERS14]

Dude you're fucking stupid, you're the troll. You may THINK in your childish mind that airsoft is better, but it isn't dumbass. It may have advantages but it doesn't make it better. I personally think they both have advantages and disadvantage. Like comparing an SUV to a 2 seater and saying the 2 seater is better because it goes faster. You're whack dude, get a life...

[promotecheese2010]

i notice that

A: you have done nothing but swear and insult me

B: You still can't provide one advantage paintball has over airsoft.

C: that you seem to be a hypocrite (calling me a troll, then promptly starting to troll)

[promotecheese2010]

don't get me wrong, im not saying "people who play paintball are retarded"

[DWINTERS14]

That's exactly what you were saying. Read the convo dude

[chynue]

i agree with you even tho i am a fellow airsoft player. the way i look at is both sports are made to be fun and both have people that enjoy the game

[FlashDAH]

DWINTERS14 you are right we could co exist but the guns do cost more and im sure they carnt make you look as realistic as Airsoft does in terms or magazines the weapons themselves, the accessories and most of all the range is what makes the biggest differnes to me.

Paintball CQB though im sure is fun bit i prefer the realism of Airsoft, think thats what cuts the devide through airsofters and Paintballers the most. Peace

[omarkole]

@FlashDAH sucks dick

[MerkavaMk55]

I would say that they are about the same fun wise, but paintball generally costs a LOT more

[DWINTERS14]

Thank you, i agree completely with you.

[promotecheese2010]

and that's basically why i think airsoft is better.

and yet for some reason you continue to treat him nicely and bombard me with insults.

explain, please???

[HKgunner]

@MerkavaMk55

Not the case once you start collecting gear and upgrading your guns. 

[MerkavaMk55]

@HKgunner yeah that is the exact case, i know from personal experience, DWINTERS and 20 others agree with me, besides that i posted that comment 8 months ago.

[HKgunner]

@MerkavaMk55 well its listed as highest rated comments for this video.

[MerkavaMk55]

@HKgunner didnt notice that i apologize

[PrivateRyan101st]

Cool, SC Village is like the only paintball field I go to because it's so awesome!

[lolrofl1000]

im so lucky that I love within 20 minutes of airsoftgithe best) and 30 minutes of Evike(2nd best) lol

[boomheadshot32]

were u live? im in anaheim 40 mins away from gi

[lolrofl1000]

glendora

[shanedude93]

SC VILLAGE WOOT I GO THERE !!!

:D

cool interview 5/5

[NickDenning3]

All the big airsoft people in Cali should get together and make a airsoft dedicated place. Like a simulated worn battlefield (partualy broken buildings, old cars, ect.)

[trophyhunter147]

those chairs look comfy

[TwiceVicodin]

I see a great future for airsoft. This game is expanding like I've never seen before!

[SilentScope75]

Yea it is. I hope to see it get as big as over in England and those areas.

[promotecheese2010]

its huge in scotland

[THEcrazyKAT]

need more places in hawaii

[Heheh274]

its hard for Hawaii since its an isolated state.

[ApocalipsalMikey]

We need an Airsoft GI in California's East Bay/ San Fransisco.

[Oxstayne]

Awesome. Col. McKnight got involved? How the hell?

[miketastic97]

john cusses alot..... u should learn from him tim lol

[ashchetum]

i'd like to see some vids of it on this channel, that would be awesome

[imeatinpoo]

how do i get into these big events. ive tried to look it up myself but i just got confused. any links someone could send me?

[bobandfredpuppet]

is that your dad

[martinairsoft123]

we need more places in montana the forests are perfect for field MILSIM and there is litterally ONE field in the whole state and its CQB which doesnt make sense because Montana is so big

[Thrantos93]

@Phantom663 you live in Texas? Anyone know good places in northern texas please let me know

[martinairsoft123]

or central, let me know. stores or fields

[AlbertoMuse]

@Thrantos93 i do

[waityournotjuice1]

we need more airsoft on the east coast

[hawkboy06]

@waityournotjuice1 you have enough places on the east coast (depending what state)

[waityournotjuice1]

i live in southern pa and everythings like 3 hours away

[TwiceVicodin]

Try NYsuCk. The most action you'll get here is with a Supersoaker. Even potato guns are technically illegal.

[TheOnlyEliteSniper]

@waityournotjuice1 how bout maryland? maybe D.C.?

[NickDenning3]

There are tons of places to airsoft in the e.c.

Besides SoCal, the west coast needs ALOT more places to airsoft.

[ThePctech37]

@waityournotjuice1 Irene is east, and even put on by this guy.

[Thatonekid131]

@waityournotjuice1 Theres plenty in the south.

[veratek]

this was a great segment tim

[thesuperbosses]

i like how he says paintball milsim was back in the olden days

[promotecheese2010]

damn we need airsoft places in Florida -.-

[Phantom663]

thats what i am sayin!

they are building a place in milton...i live near it but idk about everyone else since its being built on the pan handle so im good but idk about everyone else

[rimzo127]

We have a few, where in FLA are you?

[promotecheese2010]

im in central FL, but im willing to drive up to 40 mins in any direction.

can you point me to a few, esp. any cqb arenas?

[airsoftPOW66]

@promotecheese2010 I am having the same problem I'm in central FL too.....

[ichewtoast111]

[KRZR24rat]

[fatmanpez]

I wish i lived on the west coast, but I still got to go to whiskey hotel out here in the midwest, had a turnout of over 600 players

[Blind000Cole]

[fatmanpez]

yeah, Illinois, was huge

[Blind000Cole]

@fatmanpez Hmmm...When was this? I'm 14 and live in Iowa lol

[fatmanpez]

[MerkavaMk55]

[fatmanpez]

[MerkavaMk55]

No i couldn't make it, would you be willing to drive to colorado for the colorado milsim game next month, there are gonna be UAV's vehicles EMP's and other really cool features. That is a pretty long drive though i understand if you dont want to go that far.

[fatmanpez]
