I was wondering if there is a role for an engineer in an airsoft battle. I think at the chicagoland events it would come in useful for them to scout ahead and try and take out those door chime mines. They could also be the ones with the smoke grenades to take out the artillery. It would be an exiting role. Since I am doing a 1st ID 37 engineer battalion impression I thought I would ask. I have also found a good site if anyone else is interested in doing an engineer impression. www.wwiireproductions.com

Yea, that guy is great! Ordered a few medic items from him a couple years ago...
An engineer would be fun to have at the Chicago events. Would definitly help with those mines!

ooh, what would be awesome is if we put a small piece of metal on the mines, and the engineer would get a metal detector, and could scope out the mines. I think that could add alot and not make the mines so deadly.

I think they have metal on them but I am not sure if combat engineers used metal detectors on the field or not good idea however, and i could be wrong about the metal detector thing

an Engineer wouldn't scout ahead they would be with the rest of the squad. Combat engineers would carry more grenades, have some sort of demo/mine, maybe a rifle grenade launcher/rifle grenades. They also would know about making/destroying defenses.

29th, if you're putting together an engineer imp, I have an m1 grenade adapter made so that an m1 or m2 (pineapple) grenades can be fired out off of a rifle. It's a little dented and the retaining clip is missing suggesting that it might have been used. If you're interested PM me. It's just taking up space, i'll cut you a deal. lol.
