Iron Spider - PISTOL COMPETITION - Saturday, October 15th 2011

[Komissar]

On Saturday, October 15th Diamond Corps will host its next Airsoft competition!

 Don't miss out on your chance to win the NEW KWA ATP made possible by a generous donation from JF Paintball and Airsoft located in Grass Valley!

Our last pistol competition was held in August of 2008, and featured seventeen shooters who traveled from as far as Reno and Davis to win a Caspian Hi-Cappa 5.1 Airsoft pistol. Since that time we have been host to several other competitions such as our Sniper competition and the three-man Devils’ Run. This month’s event, coupled with Operation: Iron Spider promises another full day of challenge and reward for all operators who attend!

 

 The competition will begin at Saturday morning, at 9am. To register, simply have a signed waiver on file at check-in and add your name to the list of participants. Participants will need to have an approved belt or leg holster, and a semi-auto fire Airsoft pistol.

 

The airsoft KWA ATP, or Adaptive Training Pistol. The ATP is built using aluminum components, such as the slide and barrel, that provide strength and reliability. To reduce weight and increase ergonomics, the full metal internals are housed inside a durable polymer lower frame. Overall, the pistol has proven itself to be accurate and powerful while maintaining a high level of gas efficiency  The ATP is designed to replicate the functionality of a standard police issue firearm (similar to a Glock), therefore it  provides a cost effective training solution for Law Enforcement, military, and contractors alike. A major draw to the ATP is that it is compatible with popular duty and tactical holsters like the Blackhawk SERPA (fits Glock 17 holsters) and its family of accessories . The Law Enforcement centered design element translates phenomenally to the Airsoft skirmish field where your sure to see this pistol become a popular sidearm in the near future.  If you're looking for a police training gun, look no further than the ATP airsoft gun by KWA!

Equipment:

Operators will need to have a pistol capable of firing on semi-auto.

Operators will need to have a belt or leg holster for the pistol used in competition.

Any weight ammunition is allowed.

Optical scopes and open sights are allowed. Lasers which project an image on the target are not allowed.

All pistols and holsters will be approved by competition marshals.

 

Targets:

Each operator will complete three ‘Courses of Fire’ consisting of four targets each, to achieve the fastest time.

All targets will be eight inches in diameter, and at a range of thirty feet.

Operators will be allowed to run each Course of Fire twice with the faster of the two runs being recorded toward their total time.

Any time greater than 10 seconds on a course will result in 10 seconds as a default time.

Any course that an operator fails to complete will be given 10 seconds as a default time.

At the end of all three courses, each operator’s best course time will be tallied and divided by three to give that operator Time Final.

 

Courses of Fire:

 

“The Drop”

Operator will start with pistol holstered, and in the start box. (10 feet lateral to drop container, and 10 feet from the line).

At “go”, operator moves to drop ‘grenade’ into container. (The grenade MUST stay in the container).

Operator may then draw pistol.

Operator must hit all four targets and call “clear”.

At call of “clear” the time is stopped and recorded.

Any deviation or failure to complete the course will result in a default time of 10 seconds.

 

 

“Combat”

Operator will start with pistol holstered, and behind the line. (10 feet from the line).

At “go”, the operator may choose to move to the line.

The operator MUST drop to a knee, and then may draw his pistol. (Any draw of the pistol before the knee hits the ground will count as a default resulting in a 10 second course time).

Operator must hit all four targets and call “clear”.

At call of “clear” the time is stopped and recorded.

Any deviation or failure to complete the course will result in a default time of 10 seconds.

 

 

“Stick-up”

Operator will start with pistol holstered, and behind the line.

Operator will start facing directly away from the target with hands held above the shoulders.

At “go”, the operator may then draw his pistol and turn.

Operator must hit all four targets and call “clear”.

At call of “clear” the time is stopped and recorded.

Any deviation or failure to complete the course will result in a default time of 10 seconds.

 

Each operator’s best time at each course will be added together for their Total Time. The Total Time will be divided by three to get the operators Time Final.

 

“Breaker”

This course will ONLY be used if there is a tie for the Time Final.

Operator will start with pistol holstered, and behind the line.

At “go”, the operator may then draw his pistol and fire.

Operator must hit all four targets and call “clear”.

At call of “clear” the time is stopped and recorded.

Any deviation or failure to complete the course will result in a default time of 10 seconds.

The fastest actual time in this course will be used to determine the winner.

 

 

Example: Ryan runs “The Drop” course receiving scores of 6.38 seconds and 6.72 seconds. Ryan’s fastest time in both runs is 6.38 seconds at “The Drop” course, so the 6.38 time is recorded for the Total Time. At the “Combat” course he receives a default score of 10 seconds for drawing his pistol before his knee touches the ground. At his second attempt, he again pulls his pistol before his knee touches down earning him another 10 second default, this time the default is recorded as his fastest time at the “Combat” course. Moving on to “Stick-up”, he achieves a time of 3.62 seconds on his first run, and then his pistol explodes causing him a default time of 10 seconds for his second attempt. The 3.62 second time is recorded. This gives Ryan the total of, 6.38 plus 10 second default, plus 3.62 added together for his Time Final. (6.38+10.0+3.62=17.3 seconds is Ryan’s Total Time). Ryan’s Total Time is divided by three to get his Time Final. (17.3 divided by 3 = 5.76 as his Time Final).
