Back in September, Kelly “Femme fatale” Hardwick packed her bags and flew to Paris to meet her french Airsoft action counterpart.
EARLIER IN 2017 A NEW CONTRIBUTOR joined the Airsoft Action team; Diane Montagnier, who is better known as “Dye Lifad” within the French airsoft community. Diane is an airsoft player, gun smith and also a gun tech at Airsoft Entrepot, an airsoft store just outside of Paris. I flew out to meet her and spend a weekend experiencing the best of Parisienne airsoft!
I arrived in Paris at around 4.30 pm local time on Friday afternoon after a short flight of just an hour and a half. As I walked through Charles De Gaulle airport I was super-excited about what the weekend had in store! I was met by Diane’s smiling face in arrivals and we were off to Chanteloup, a quaint village just outside of the city. We spent our Friday evening at Diane’s home organising our gear for the weekend, drinking wine and eating cheese fondue!
On my travels to different countries to play airsoft I am always very lucky to be hosted by local players who open up their homes - and also their gear collections - to me and little did I know that Diane was going to kit me out. As Diane is a huuuuge fan of Gucci kit, her gear wardrobe was absolutely jam packed with the biggest names in tactical kit! My loadout for the weekend included Camouflage Europe Centrale (CEC), which is the standard issue for French Military (when in France right?), a really gucci Blue Force Gear plate carrier and a tonne of other kit from big names such as Arc’teryx and Black Hawk. Our plan for the weekend was pretty simple, good food, good wine and some awesome airsoft at Diane’s favourite haunts.
