That looks very fun I've always wonderd though do the airsoft bullets (I think there called bbs) hurt or bruise? I've been paintballing but that didn't really hurt. Anyway did you enjoy your self?

[Butlerbandit]

Looks pretty sweet. Were any of those videos made by you or your team, or were they by milsim group responsible for the event?

[Jahona]

@whyitell They bruise.  A lot of times if they hit open skin, since it's a smaller round than paintball, it can crack the skin and cause bleeding.

@Butler I didn't make this particular video but it's my team.  We have 5 contour action cameras we use to gather footage.  One of the guys had a laptop with him and he got the footage dumps ahead of time and decided to edit.  I'm waiting for a few more videos that should have some funny scenes in them.

There was a lot more to this game than just the action scenes, but action plays better on camera.  The rules were in depth and it had a bit of roleplay into it that most airsoft games don't include.

This event had about 150 players to it.  We expected more but a rival game producer had a game on the same weekend as ours and split the attendance.

Now can you guess which one is me?  There's a very clear shot of me somewhere in there.
First one to get me a timecode for the first video gets $500 on survival.  =)
I'm talking video of me not video from my camera.

i never understood how you could tell when someone is dead seems very easy to cheat in.

[Juwayyid]

Part of the fun is playing fair.  Like role playing in a way.  But in the end, if you do go on after being hit, whats the harm?  I don't think anyone is playing to win.  It's the overall experience that's the fun part!  (Not much fun laying in the dirt face first dead!)

It's all about that friendly sportsmanship. Unless it's obvious that you've been pegged about 300 times within 4 seconds.

[Jahona]

if your caught cheating your evicted from the field after a warning.  If you come back and we still have an issue your banned from most fields in the south central states that follow a black list.

airsoft is a game of honor.  You may not have physical markings like paintball but when you see someone doing the funky dance as they get shot you know.

The BBs break skin? What FPS and BB mass are you guys using?

[Jahona]

300 - 400 for Most AEGs (Rifles and Support Weapons) with a 20 foot minimum engagement distance.
400 - 500 DMR and Sniper Rifles 100 foot minimum engagement distance.
350 and below for Pistols and Shotguns. No M.E.D.

CQB is all 350 and under for all guns.

As for weight usually .25 grams to .32 grams. You'll see the DMR and Sniper guys usually use as high as .4 grams.

Usually we cap at about 1 joule no mater what the weight bb and the FPS of the gun.
