The big bad Airsoft and RIF thread.

[Slöth]

A vast majority of the community engage in the lovely sport of airsoft, either being milsim, speedsoft, or whatever you want your style of play is (Chairsofting isn't a playstyle). I wanted to create a thread so people can show off their gear, what they use, what they wear, and so forth.

I've recently become a part-time technician at my local site, so I've been fixing up some guns as a commission if you've got any questions or need suggestions; I may be of help.


I love airsoft for the social aspect. I marshal at two different sites and carry around a lot of gimmicky guns for fun. But I do own quite a few "competition styled" weapons that are designed to win (yet fair). I loaded a few images from my phone of some guns I'm working on.

I'm currently working on my new M&P9, now have a whole new kit ordered for it, hop-up- barrel, recoil spring and the works.

Alongside a SAW I was recently donated.

Oh, and my favourite marshal gun, my 8-inch Dan Wesson.

I actually tried airsoft for the first time a few weeks back and found it so much more exhilarating than paintball. Having the realistic weapons and teams felt so much more atmospheric than paint everywhere. It's a hobby I could see myself doing if I had the spare time.

"Dude what the heck"

Yea it's pretty fun, though yea you get poor sportsmanship.

Though honestly, I'd say the worst kind of people are either those who freak out over hits, or those who fire despite not being in their MED.

Also /rusfor/ gang

 

[Ond]

paintball is only more fun because it hurts more and you have to get closer to land hits

otherwise milsim west is the dream

If the site you go to has a lot of rental players, then yeah, in that case, go in the second half, most of the rentals that cause trouble would've gone home or got kicked out by that point.

Everyone else tends to be regulars so they behave themselves. Mostly.

You'll be surprised, and it's usually the regulars that I find cheat the most. Rentals are generally younger people who are more than willing to take a respawn, and it's the big fat and lazy "experienced" blokes that are just too lazy to take a hit and brush it off.


The whole game runs on sportsmanship, and if no one takes their hits, the game doesn't work. You don't need a splatter of paintball paint on your chest to prove you've been hit.

Curious, the site I go to has been quite well behaved, never really had much trouble with the regulars there.

MTP's in a dry-woodland area of the UK is pretty good, and I usually don't wear camo at all.

My usual setup is a "Civilian styled operator" with a plaid shirt, Comfortable jeans with a battle belt while I wear light-weight gear. ( Usually my MP9 with a modded to fuck pistol, depending on the day either my M1911 or old M&P9 with MPHICHU setup alongside a homemade tightbore Barrel that allows me to hop up 4.' BB's with ease.

It's all down to the sites you play at, where I am there is only three that I would consider local, one of them is a family based one that allows under 18's ( I marshal/tech here for a small payment and free lunches.) and it usually has the most cheaters.

Another one is just this soddy CQB place that is really hidden so you always get the regulars there, the only way to find it is by word of mouth.

But then, there is the best place, we've got a site that's based in an abandoned prison, CQB areas and the works, you have to book in at least a month in advance since it's so popular ( Unless you marshal there like me so I don't even have to book, yeet.) and we rarely get cheaters because people are actually having fun.

When a game doesn't feel fun, people start to cheat.

In the United Kingdom, we have a thing called the "United Kingdom Airsoft Registration Association", if you've shown yourself as an active player within the airsoft community you are able (If over the age of 18) sign up for a registration to said association. This will allow you to have real imitation firearms.

If you're under 18 or don't have such registration, you have to have a two-tone spray job to any gun you own. Similar to USA's orange tip requirement.

We have shops that only sell Airsoft related gear, but we usually have to order our stuff online.

Being a boomer is fun though, except I actually run.

Only takes a minimum of five months to get it.

The only pic I have of me playing airsoft:

Spoiler: Pic

Face cropped for obvious reasons, might give a face reveal someday tho :stuck_out_tongue:

I really enjoyed my first experiance at airsoft, my first patrol I played VC hunting GI's, fired my gun to see if I'd wound it up properly and I had apparently activated my fucking aimbot and hit someone 10m infront of our patrol.

Nah, I just mean the concept of actually having to licence BB guns.

what happens when you point replica guns at random untrained people

a) they laugh
b) they lose their shit cos they think it’s real
