TK-7980 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I went laser tagging with some friends the other night, and the place I was at put on the Star Wars opening theme and imperial march and I was immediately disappointed that I didnt have any armor to blast away in. Has anyone gone laser tagging in their armor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naglium[TK] Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 My garrison did 2 charity events at a local lazer tag facility 4 hours each in armor... its very enduring... very tiring, but fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 last time i went laser tagging there were a lot of black lights involved. lol. you'd stick out like a sore thumb in a tk. tx however would be perfect, while td might do alright depending on the weathering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SapaWanmdi Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Not yet, but hoping to this fall maybe. But I can even use my blaster in laser tag games can check out my build thread http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=10370 if you want.

TK-7980 Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I think either way you're going to stick out like a sore thumb, I mean you have a blinky flashy vest on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 well yeah you kinda stand out cuz of the lights, but if youre basically glowing. lol. it'd be a bit more easily spotted a mile away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTrooper[TK] Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Our Garrison leader said he did laser tag in his scout armor once and ran around a corner in the course and scarred the "crap" out of a teenager. The teenager wet himself. :bikerscout: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MouldMan Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Our Garrison did it recently at Dreamworld (Gold Coast, Australia), was fun but near impossible to see or shoot anything with a bucket on (talk about "stormtrooper effect!!") Sorta just made it frustrating lol. Worst part was with green lenses both teams lighted vests looked near identical and you couldnt see the red beam of the lasers AT ALL, so aiming was impossible too. Deffinatly worth a go tho, I was totally getting flashbacks from the Tantive battle. Everyone in this pic is 501st bar 2, buckets off clearly won lol.

TK4999[TK] Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I played for 16 hours at C-IV (not all the same day...) and it was a blast. However, it was well lit (no blacklights) and the stormtroopers could take 10 hits before a kill, while the "civie" players were out with three hits. So the most fun part was charging a guy at close range knowing you could take him out while you were "protected" by your armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 That sounds like a lot of fun - I hope they do it this year at C5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played for about 3 hours from around 2 pm and on, on sunday. It was lots of fun. My armor broke in so many places at the end it needed lots of repairs, but I enjoyed it anyway. Saludos.

Alex Buechel Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Not too long ago, (Jan ) was my birthday and a whole gang came out from the 501st to play some laser tag with me. We were talking about setting up another event. Jay S. i think was working on getting a local laser tag time where everone would troop and do it again. I hear its been done a few times and that its awesome, although impossible to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feezle[501st] Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Did laser tag today as a TK for a couple of hours. It was a lot of fun, but man do I hurt now. Only my second troop in armor, the first being last weekend for about 30 minutes. I should have some pics and video which I will post once they crop up. I used my new aker amp to play a chatter loop that I constructed out of video game dialogue, and it sounded really good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also played with Steve at CIV, and it was a BLAST!!!! Hope they do it again!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThayNerd[TK] Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) That looks like a blast! I've always wanted to do that in my armor. Edited March 29, 2010 by ThayNerd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK4999[TK] Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Keep in mind Carter is 6'5",. so he really stuck out. True, but keep in mind that I could also get down on my knees behind the shorter barriers too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
