What is Airsoft?
CQB environment
According to Wikipedia.org, "Airsoft is a recreational activity in which participants shoot round non-metallic pellets launched via replica firearms.
Game play varies in style and composition but often range from short-term skirmishes, organized scenarios, military simulations, historical reenactments, to competition target shooting events. Combat situations on the battlefield often involve the use of common military tactics to achieve objectives set in each game. Participants typically emulate the tactical equipment and accessories used by modern military and police organizations."
Airsoft is a "gentlemen’s game" of honor. There is no paint to mark whether you have been hit or not. You are expected to be honest with yourself and everyone else and call your own hits. The best way to accomplish this is by following the general rule, if you think you have been hit, you have. Even if you aren’t sure where they could have hit you from, unless you know for a fact it's a ricochet, call your hit and respawn. By following this rule and not having to worry about someone calling hit or not makes the game more enjoyable for all. Airsoft is always supposed to be fun, whether you are just in the backyard with friends or doing a full MilSim (military simulation). Yes you should always take it seriously and play to win but just always remember that it is just a game and that there is always another life, another game and another day to come back and try again. The Outsiders always plays to win but we are not the team that will punish members for a bad game or a bad day. We all have them and if you haven’t yet, you will. We ALWAYS play to win but we also ALWAYS have fun while playing.
