WEAPONS
======================================
Simply put we have the most advanced simulated laser system available.
Don't be hoodwinked into what other operators may tell you, they lie!
Our gun frames are very realistic and expensive, they weigh and
function in very much the same way as their real steel counterparts.
We use 2 versions of rifle for standard games. Our current SCAR models are being updated weekly to our latest all-metal versions.
ACES
Magpul AR's. Simulated 5.56 cal, These Gen 1.5 rifles are the best we
have seen at WarFighters to date. Fitted out with Magpul Industries
metal upper and lower receiver. Magpul MOE grip and MBUS sights. No
other laser rifle has this military spec, and better still they are
exclusive to WarFighters. 2 shots = 1 Kill. Range 800-900 feet
ACES
ARES SPR Sniper rifles. Simulated 7.62 cal, made completely from metal
these beasts provide awesome fire power. 1 shot = 1 kill, range around
1,500 feet.
100% Wireless
No
stupid cables between the rifle and sensors. WarFighter are the first
Laser Combat company to have cracked this. Players have complete
freedom.
Ammunition
Ammo
is loaded using real magazines. This feature is really cool as the
magazine itself remembers how much ammo it's holding. So if you use
half a mag and then throw it to your buddy the ammo inside will not
change. Ammo is reloaded for every game and it's free of charge.
Loading The Rifle (Milsim Mode)
When
you insert a loaded magazine you will need to charge it. This is done
by racking back the charging lever, just like the real deal. Once a
round is loaded you can fire it. If you remove the magazine there will
still be a single round in the barrel which can be fired. After that
it's that nasty dead man's click!
Firing
There are 3 fire settings that are controlled by the fire selector switch
Safe - this will prevent the trigger from working
Auto - This will fire all the rounds in your magazine whilst depressed
Semi - Single shot mode
Aiming
Each
rifle has a basic sight attached. Your Ghost Leaders will teach you the
basics just before your game. Upgrades can be hired on site so you can
pimp your rifle and improve your reaction time by fitting a reflex
sight.
Range
A
massive 1,500 feet has been our maximum shot distance to date during
medium daylight conditions. Range is always influenced by the weather.
Rain, snow, mist and very bright sunlight will have a direct effect and
reduce the range. But never to a degree that will hinder the game play.
Laser
There's
no laser in them, so the product is 100% eye safe. The system uses a
special optics tube to transmit a coded signal. This is a direct beam
so no knowledge of windage or elevation techniques are required. Good
marksmanship on the other hand is a must to be able to hit a target at
great distance.
Hits and FX
When
you hit another player their life allocation is reduced. When you get
shot your life is deducted. The guns play loud sound samples to mimic
the real deal. When you get killed your weapon system shuts down until
you can be re-spawned by a Ghost Leader.
Near Miss
If
another player fires at you and misses the shot will generate a sound
sample of a bullet (lead wasp) flying right pass you. Makes you keep ya
head down!
Raining Again
So what, we still can use them all day long!
MISSIONS
======================================

their tactical kit.
