Ben (to the left) tracked the storm as it poured buckets overhead to see how long we would have to wait it out. According to weather radar, there would be a noticeable gap between two cells that would hopefully be dry. Sure enough, as the clouds moved away, a rainbow emerged and we were able to get some games in!
The weather was fitting for my Tornado Strike-based LTX EF5 to compete toe-to-toe with other snipers at the game. If I could see it, I was hitting it non-stop. The pump-action reload has been working flawlessly since I fixed it. Honestly, the only reason I haven't done a final video review on this blaster yet is because every time I pick it up, I just wanna PLAY. I've taken it out to the park, set up a couple of LTXs, set them in various spots, and work on landing hits from all kinds of odd angles. Through brush, on the move, it's really been a lot of fun using such a solid and accurate rifle. I keep saying that "I'm not a Sniper, so I'll probably give this blaster to someone else once it's done", but it's really growing on me. It's compact, it can land hits on the moon, and I still think it's one of the best looking blasters I've made yet.
That being said, I am not patient enough to fill the role of a "sniper". I tend to move more, lead from the front lines, and fight out those mid-range battles more often. Combining my need to be on the move with this lethally accurate blaster has been a challenge, but all this messing around and fine-tuning of the blaster's mechanics have really made for an interesting combination.
I suppose another reason I haven't made a full video review is that I've been trying to make use of these frequent late-spring storms that have been rolling through. I wanted to shoot the footage for the LTX EF5 with some kind of storm going on in the background, but I may just have to film it normally. What do you guys think? Should I wrap things up with the LTX EF5 as it stands now, or should I try to make a bit of a "Cinematic Event" out of this?
