Junior Hunteers 2009

[MDrebellion]

this is the best video if ever seen of the world. :)

[Pcmanx19]

is it a real gun?

[phantomTMA]

No, it is a gas airsoft rifle firing 5.95mm 0.40g BB's. Made by Tanaka Works of Tokyo, Japan. This is the pre ban, PCS model, of the m40a1. Great for learning to handle a gun without the danger of a serious rifle.

Good Hunting ;)

[Pcmanx19]

@phantomTMA yeh haha i finally figured that out when i saw the holes in the targets :P thanks for responding do i play airsoft my self but i didn't know they made gas airsoft sniper rifles i though they only made springs (O_o)

n Good Hunting to you mate :)

[SOCDutch]

I bet they'll be amazing with Phantom as a dad!

[eximyes]

Your sons are amazing



[phantomTMA]

Thankyou so much.

Good Hunting ;)

[2bad4god443]

lol you must be the best dad in the world haha

[GSTYLEWESTCOAST]

i dont know what your gun laws are in the area but i think you should teach them marksmanship with real firearms (at least the two older ones.) compared to airsoft guns, they will be able to put shots on a dime at 50 yards if they become proficient

[phantomTMA]

Firearms are not easy to procure in the UK. Although the eldest has used SA80 and .22 bolt action in his cadet forces training. I will take them to use my nice accurate air rifle (sharp innova) sometime for a better shooting experience. Airsoft guns are handy to teach the basics of gun safety and handling while moving towards a "hunteering" perspective of their application (ie. a contact sport).

Good Hunting ;)

[Asatorizm]

@phantomTMA how is it with the area u are allowed to shoot in? here in Germany it has to be Private Property and a fence around the area -_- so its hard to find a place to hunteer...

[phantomTMA]

Yes, it must be private property, with owners permission. Get out and ask your local farmers, worst they can do is say "no".

Good Hunting ;)

[parkerchillin3]

is that a real gun?

[Armyof9000]

Those kids shoot better than a lot of AMERICAN kids I am friends with. Good job teaching them to shoot!

[N1K0HARDSTYLE]

03:08 you says something about tilt the gun?.. how does that work?

[phantomTMA]

The hop up system, puts back spin on the pellet. If you tilt the gun to the right, the pellet will have up and right hand spin, causing it to fly to the right. The more you tilt it the more side spin and curve you will get. Many people do not set their guns cross hair level and wonder why the pellets always curve to the same side.

If it is windy, from the right, the right hand spin will fight the crosswind and miraculously keep the pellet going straight. Try it.

Good Hunting ;)

[YaYCreeC]

Is that the Tanaka M40A1?

I want a reliable sniper with a good range... which one should I take. Money is no problem..., Thanks

[phantomTMA]

I suggest you buy a VSR10 and fully upgrade it if money is no object.

Good Hunting ;)

[AirsoftingCARNOCHAN]

This TW M40 of yours, is this the one at 550FPS on 0.2g. Regardless can you give me the effective range of a one shot kill on a human sized target so I can work out what it should be for my marui VSR. That would be great. keep the vids comin'!

[phantomTMA]

Yes, this rifle is set up around 550fps. It won't kill anyone lol but you can hit a target (that doesn't dodge) at around 75m as you will see in one of our other films. After that requires more skill and luck. Your VSR should be more consistant (as a spring rifle) and that really helps if you want to be pushing the boundaries of long range shooting.

Good Hunting ;)

[AirsoftingCARNOCHAN]

Yeah thanks, having a few consistency issues at the moment, either to do with ammunition ( Straights 0.3g) or cylinder pressure. Cheers once again.

[phantomTMA]

0.30g STRAIGHTS are not good quality or consistant. They are obsolete and I think out of production. Invest in some better 0.30g or SGM or even heavier.

Good Hunting ;)

[AirsoftingCARNOCHAN]

That was going to be my first port of call, thanks for verifying it for me. Will move onto Blaster Devil 0.3s or .36s. Cheers again. XD

[Katsumato0]

what memorable video. Those are happy kids =)

[chris987spike]

Haha, got to teach the kids early, huh? Not bad for youngsters. -Breezy368

[1337a1rS0fT3r]

Hey, Do you know anything about the King Arms Airseal bucking? It's better than Nineball from what I hear.

[phantomTMA]

I have heard good reviews of it fitted in VSR based rifles but unsure if it would be poorer in the tanaka conversion (flat hop bar; not true V hop). The firefly is no good in a tanaka, but better than a nineball in the vsr IMO.

I am not a massive upgrade addict and buying new parts all the time. Instead, I am easily pleased with modern Airsoft performance; as I started playing when you could almost spit as far as guns shot. Once zeroed and happy stop tinkering, is my best advice.

GHfor2010;)

[Papakolea464]

what type of gun was that a kjw m700?

[phantomTMA]

It is a Tanaka Works m40a1gas rifle with several upgrade parts (see my other films). Here it has madbull 0.40g pellets with simple green gas.

Good Hunting ;)

[1999sniper]

gay ass little kids

[WaSSupYo8o8]

if your not gonna say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

[cpk93]

@1999sniper Your obviously a gay ass little kid coz your parents clearly havent bought u up right.

[AirsoftGhillie]

@1999sniper you need to watch your mouth.. i mean come on his kides are great.. especialy the youngust, this is what i would do with my kids some day.. atleast his kids will not be on xbox all day like yours will/ or are

[Gabesly]

ur a dick they could kick your ass

[141AnTTi]

Hi, i have a TM VSR-10, but i dont know what scope should i buy and my VSR shoots 150m/s so what scope should be good and less than 100 dollars? And nice videos =)

[phantomTMA]

Look at the chinese m3 clones with rangefinder reticules for a budget scope. 3-10 magnification is ample for the job.

Good Hunting ;)

[darknessfalls714]

nice phantom what gun is that and ibought the bar 10 took ur advise best gun ever but i am having trouble zeroing the scope would you think if you had time you could make a vid of how to zero in a scope properly all the other vids do not help at all my targets are measured at 145 ft

[phantomTMA]

The rifle in this video is a tanaka works m40a1 PCS pre ban gas rifle. Does your BAR10 always shoot to the side? What pellets are you using?

Merry Xmas & Good Hunting ;)

[darknessfalls714]

no more like down side ways on the left i use .3 and .2

[phantomTMA]

I found I needed to fit a firefly hard vsr rubber, to get enough lift for the 0.30g but my bar10 was second hand. Be sure to get the cross hair level with the reciever (scope rail). If the pellets curl to the left, then loosen the scope rings carefully, twist the scope till it is level; then carefully alternate which side of the rings you tighten. It takes time to get it level and is one of the key factors in accuracy imo with hop systems.

Good Hunting ;)

[svendewulf]

this is amazing, i like the way you share your love and knowledge for hunting with your sons... and even the little one got nice hits at quite a distance. but i have a question, i bought a L96 recently, is it smart to upgrade this or am i just wasting my money?

grtz

Red Feather

[phantomTMA]

Thanks. I suggest you are better off buying a VSR/BAR10 rifle if you want the best performance.

Good Hunting ;)

[wowaholhic]

I always found Ghillie-Snipers facinating!

And seeing your vids really make my day!

Good Hunting! ^^

5/5

[NoNameTactical]

dude you suck!!!

[phantomTMA]

Many thanks:)

Good Hunting

[bradl36]

is that an r700

[Wollenmouse]

Hey nice vid!

May i ask what are your veiws on the l96 warrior agaisnt other spring snipers?

[phantomTMA]

I do not rate it as it is not as accurate as a VSR10/bar10, due to using an obsolete hop up design compared to the vsr hop system.

Good Hunting ;)

[unclesamsplayground]

hey, is the TSD M700 good? Also, I can get it in Black, OD green, tan, or imitation wood. I don't want the wood so what will be a good color? I'll probably paint it soo.....

[phantomTMA]

I have no experience of that rifle. However, I doubt it is as good as a BAR10. Colour depends on your environment.

Good Hunting ;)

[phidoa]

Very nice video and rifle. :)

[1982Bux]

There is one thing I always wondered about in your videos.

Is there a specific reason you´re using the PDI 605 barrels, instead of the tighter 601 ones?

[phantomTMA]

Several reasons.

1. Look on the PDI XFIRE website and the 01 is noted for velocity and 05 for accuracy.

2. Much much cheaper.

3. At the time 555mm barrels were very hard to source and these were easy to get as no one bought them thinking ... tighter=better.

4. I don't follow the crowd.

Good Hunting ;)

[MagicMrOne]

very nice Video

Good Hunting ;)

[nicomalta]

ahh lovely :)

[Tcreature358]

This is an airsoft gas gun? What model?

[phantomTMA]

Tanaka works m40a1. It is modified.

Good Hunting ;)

[1982Bux]

hey Phantom,

allthough you´re shooting with your kids, which I don´t really appreciate, I do like how you teach them how to handle the guns safely.

What I do appreciate alot is how you take time for your kids. You don´t see alot of fathers with extensive outdoor activities with there kids nowadays.

About the video itself, I really like it like all the others

[phantomTMA]

Thanks. In the UK, these guns are pretty much designed for kids to use and it is not illegal for them to shoot, only own. This is only because of the new VCRB laws and until then any kid could go and buy airsoft.

I think it is important to have confidence in the outdoors and such activities encourage children to do more than just play computer games (a big problem here).

One of my sons shoots 5.56mm SA80a2 in the cadet forces and this is just good safe practice.

Good Hunting ;)

[SpiderCarnage911]

hey im new to airsoft i have 2 other guns and there both assault rifles but i wanted to start sniping, any guns you recommend??? i was looking at this JG ak svd dragonov, it looked pretty cool, only Electric AEG sniper i could fine

[phantomTMA]

I would get a spring BAR10 or VSR10 or even the new spring dragonov. The JG dragonov is just an AEG after all and not upto the task you want it to do. Either that or just use your existing gun on semi auto and pick your shots (wait till people are close). Fieldcraft is more important than your gun. Without it, you will just end up in a firefight.

Good Hunting ;)

[SpiderCarnage911]

what gun do you use the most,?

[phantomTMA]

The main guns I use are Tanaka Works m40a1 (modified), Tokyo Marui Glock 17 GBB and MK23 socom NBB.

Good Hunting ;)

[SpiderCarnage911]

whats wrong with him shooting with his kids...

[TheKeygenCreator]

:] hahahahahahah cool :]

[dutchfett]

A 6mm hunter in the making, I'll watch my back when im playin' in Scotland some time!

[Coop772]

Lord of the Rings music? Epic win!

Nice video.

[ziepit]

lol lord of the rings music with a guy that has like bilbo bagginish hair

nice vid

[DJGhillie]

i have the same sweatshirt that your son had. the grey one with 2 blueish stripes on the arms

[ourmaninthefield]

Absolutely brilliant! George makes me laugh the way he thinks out loud the whole way through. I recon their gonna make some fierce opponents in th coming years dude. 5 stars and roll on next weekend!

[phantomTMA]

He wasn't thinking out loud dude; he was telling me which way the crosshair needed to move. He's too small to be able to get his right elbow on the ground. Therefore I had to hold the very rear of the stock and take his weight, while moving it the opposite direction to what he said. I also did my best to keep the reciever level. He concentrated on his eye relief and trigger control. It worked stupidly well and he scored 3 out of 3 on another comp at 60 yards with no practice shots!

Good Hunting

[ourmaninthefield]

it worked then, he's a right little sharp shooter. Love the puzzled look at the end. All three of them are looking rather dangerous.

George hadn't been eating chocolate by any chance had he?

[phantomTMA]

The answer is written (smeared) all over his face :)

With AEG's, they are competetive enough.

Good Hunting ;)

[ChromeFang]

two words... "Frodo Baggins."

[JROD9496]

That was beautiful...it is cool seeing him teach his sons what he knows and this video gave me some tips.

[bl00dypirate]

lol "tak u time"

[newDREADhead]

perfect music !!!

[iamthelazerviking]

Very awesome. I wish airsoft was big where I lived...

[ForOeight]

your videos are so peacful and they teach us that with great practise and pride comes prefect precision and training.

[AirsoftGhillie]

nice job phantom.. good kids.

good parent-ing ;)

[sylentmyst]

Nice to see that people still do this kind of thing. :)

I hope I get to do the same with my kids some day. The music fit perfect with the video by the way.

[Jizzmaster1488]

I've always wondered which scope you are using?

[huntingbb]

Very nice : )

[rambo7258]

nice video phantom ;) but how is that loading so easy to pull? you have some kind of tricks?

[crakerzez]

its gas powered :)

[SNiPeZzzzZzz]

his sniper is powered by co2

[rambo7258]

oh yea, i didnt noticed that

[kurczakfb]

That's great! It almost makes me cry... so sweet, cuz it shows, that there is a hope in young kids, that they are enjoy airsoft and hunting. I wish i could do things like that with my sons. :) Good hunting, and thanks for everything what you do. You've changed my point of view for airsoft sniper. Thanks.

p.s. I'm waiting for the full DVD video of 6 mm hunters:) Greetings from Poland.

[SgtThomy]

That was great =)

Thanks for sharing this video with us.

[murderdoll9191]

LOTR music,awesome choice.

[FriedNugget]

I see a future sniper...

Just make sure that you learn your kids that they wont tell their friends at school they actually like to shoot. Most people dont understand. I found out the hard way :(

[cpk93]

Best memory I have of hunting is with my dad :)

[loganfc13]

You taught them well. Good shooting.

[6MMSNIPER11]

that was sweet!!!! cool kids!!! u r awesome phantom!!! Good Hunting to u =-)

[peroman15]

at 2:05 i can just see frodo hoppin' gaily over the hill in the backround.
