What is airsoft?
Airsoft is a shooting sport where players use airsoft guns like rifles, shotguns, and pistols to fire 6mm plastic BBs. The gameplay can feature a range of objective based scenarios and group style games where players and teams of game players battle for victory. Airsoft teams can differ in size from a couple of players to lots of teams, fireteams, and operational units based on the overall size of the field and game player number. Bigger fields and airsoft tournaments can host 100s and even thousands of participants depending upon the area of operations (AO).
Airsoft guns include the following rifles, handguns, and long guns or sniper rifles. The main airsoft weapons consist of the AK47 Kalashnikov rifle, Heckler and Koch H&K G36 assault rifle, Colt M4 Carbine style assault rifles which are replicated in the form of automatic electric (AEG) airsoft guns. Sidearms normally consist of Beretta M9, 1911, and Glock pistols which are carried into the field as airsoft green gas or CO2 airsoft pistol versions. Sniper rifles frequently are designed after the Remington 700 bolt action long guns which game players use as spring powered sniper rifles.
Airsoft players typically use camouflage patterns throughout airsoft games along with headgear like tactical vests and tactical helmets set up with pouches. Each opposing airsoft team often uses a specific pattern to help determine friendly and unfriendly forces.
The targets airsoft weapons are shot at can vary depending on airsoft game type. The majority of the targets engaged with airsoft guns are other players throughout force-on-force battles.
There are a lot of types of airsoft missions. They include attack and defense objectives, point based objectives, and location objects. Particular airsoft game styles are capture the flag, disable the bomb, zombie respawn, deathmatch (free for all), team deathmatch, last team standing, weapon games inspired by Counter Strike Global Offensive (CSGO), captive rescue, and other similar games. The types of airsoft games are pretty much limitless as participants create more kinds all of the time.
What is military simulation airsoft?
Military simulation airsoft, or milsim, is often a big part of airsoft. Milsim is the art of mimicking a military atmosphere. Frequently this includes a chain of command, car or trucks, and semi-realistic atmospheres with dummy battleground firecrackers or special effects. A lot of the airsoft weapons, uniforms, and missions are imitations of authentic weapons, military uniforms, and real-world missions adapted from historical events. The result of a well planned military simulation airsoft event leads to game players looking really military-esque and outfitted like spec ops.
Milsim airsoft guns are based on the era featuring prominent weapons during the time of the historical mission. The M16A1 rifle has the traditional look of a Vietnam era assault rifle, while other airsoft rifles like the Heckler & Koch HK416 or IWI TAVOR TAR-21 are much more contemporary. In strict milsim gameplay, weapons need to be consistent with the age, use corresponding scopes, and be appropriately modded.
Milsim outfits can differ based upon the sides and be based around the historical patterns of the time. The tactical gear used usually has to match the uniform and be from the corresponding period. As an example, a modern U.S. Navy Seal milsim outfit and loadout might combine a Navy Working Uniform (NWU) camo pattern with a London Bridge Trading LBT-6094 Plate Carrier Gen II tactical vest and a ballistic helmet like the Ops-Core FAST SF Super High Cut Helmet. Replica tactical gear and ballistic panels and helmets are generally used in place of the actual gear. This saves money given that the real equipment can cost 1000s of dollars and the imitation gear is lighter to use on the battlefield.
The missions undertaken throughout milsim operations consist of historic reenactments and missions or objectives set as historical fiction. Have you ever wished to storm the beaches of Normandy, defend the 38th Parallel, or fight the drug lords of Mogadishu during Blackhawk Down? Milsim combined with airsoft is the way you can actively participate in and experience military history.
