=== 1987 season ===

Navarone entered both Armageddon and Apocalypse in the [[1987 International Air Pistol Open]], held at National Survival Game of New York in Newburgh on 18–19 July 1987.[4]

Apocalypse scored 296 of a possible 300 points in its opening game but missed qualification for the final round by four points. Daniels reported that the squad finished fifth overall.[4]

Armageddon recorded a perfect 300-point preliminary game and advanced to the finals. It won the tournament ahead of Land Sharks II, the Boonie Rats and the Unknown Rebels. Its decisive flag return was completed with approximately two seconds remaining.[4] A separate contemporary account reported that Armageddon won all but one of its games by capturing and returning the opposing flag.[5]

Apocalypse subsequently finished second at the fifth annual Survival Game North American Championship, held near Pittsburgh from 9 to 12 October 1987. The Wild Geese of New Hampshire won the championship, with Apocalypse receiving the US$10,000 second-place prize.[6]

The championship involved 33 fifteen-player teams using stock-class .68-calibre pistols and 12-gram carbon-dioxide cartridges. Games were limited to 45 minutes.[6]
