What is Airsoft
Airsoft is a shooting sport where players use airsoft guns to fire 6mm plastic BBs. The gameplay can involve a variety of objective based situations and team style games where participants and teams of participants battle for victory. Airsoft teams can differ in size from a few players to many teams, fireteams, and units based on the dimensions of the field and player attendance. Larger fields and airsoft tourneys can host 100s and even 1000s of game players depending on the area of operations (AO).
Airsoft weapons include the following weapon types: rifles, handguns, and long guns or sniper rifles. Primary airsoft weapons consist of the AK47 Kalashnikov rifle, Heckler and Koch H&K G36, and Colt M4 Carbine style assault rifles which are simulated using automatic electric (AEG) airsoft guns. Sidearms normally consist of Beretta M9, 1911, or Glock pistols which are carried into the field as airsoft green gas, GBB, or CO2 airsoft pistol variations. Sniper rifles often are modeled after the Remington 700 bolt action long guns which participants use as spring powered sniper rifles.
Airsoft participants usually use camo patterns for games together with headgear like tactical helmets and tactical vests set up with pouches. Each opposing airsoft team typically uses a specific pattern to assist in recognizing unfriendly and friendly forces. The most common patterns consist of army battle dress uniforms (BDUs) like woodland camouflage, desert camouflage, digital camouflage, and MultiCam. If groups can not be separated by uniform, a colored band can be worn on the arm to designate opposing forces.
The targets airsoft guns are fired at can vary depending on the game of airsoft. Frequently the targets engaged with airsoft guns are other players during the course of force-on-force fights. This is why it is necessary for all game players on the field to wear protective equipment like airsoft goggles and face masks and follow the safety principles of the airsoft field. Other types of targets can range from static objects to paper targets as participants enter into marksmanship competitions and exhibitions by attempting to hit items at progressively harder ranges. Speed and precision are important to keeping the shots on target.
There are also many types of airsoft objectives and missions. The types of airsoft missions are rather limitless as game players create more kinds all the time.
About Milsim Airsoft
Military simulation airsoft, or milsim, is commonly a large component of airsoft. Milsim is the art of mimicking a military-like setting. Oftentimes this involves a chain of command, cars, and semi-realistic environments with simulated combat zone pyrotechnics or special effects. Most of the airsoft weapons, outfits, and missions are imitations of realistic weapons, military fatigues, and real-world objectives adapted from the history books. The result of a well planned military simulation airsoft event causes game players looking incredibly military-esque and loaded out like military troops.
Milsim airsoft guns are based on the era and feature popular 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 modern. In stringent milsim gameplay, the weapons used should follow the era, use associated scopes and optics, and be properly modded.
A modern U.S. Navy Seal milsim uniform and loadout might integrate a Navy Working Uniform (NWU) camouflage pattern with a London Bridge Trading LBT-6094 Plate Carrier Gen II AOR1 and a ballistic helmet like the Ops-Core FAST SF Super High Cut Helmet. This conserves money given that the real equipment can cost thousands of dollars and be lighter to use on the airsoft field.
The missions carried out throughout military simulation operations consist of historic reenactments and missions or objectives set as historical fiction. Have you ever wanted to storm the beaches of Normandy, fight for the 38th Parallel, or fight the drug lords of Mogadishu at the time of Blackhawk Down? Milsim combined with airsoft is the manner in which you can actively join in and experience military history.
