What is Airsoft
Airsoft is a shooting sport where participants use airsoft guns like rifles and pistols to shoot 6mm plastic BBs. Airsoft teams can vary in size from a few players to many squads, fire teams, and units depending on the size of the field and game player turnout.
Main airsoft weapons include the AK47 Kalashnikov, Heckler and Koch H&K G36, Colt M4 Carbine design assault rifles which are reproduced in the form of automatic electric (AEG) airsoft guns. Sidearms usually consist of Beretta M9, 1911, or Glock handguns which are carried as airsoft green gas or CO2 airsoft handgun variations.
Airsoft participants typically dress in camouflage patterns to play the games in addition to headgear like tactical vests and tactical helmets configured with pouches. Each opposing airsoft group often uses a particular pattern to assist in determining hostile and friendly forces. The most typical patterns consist of army battle dress uniforms (BDUs) like woodland camouflage, desert camo, digital camouflage, and MultiCam. If teams 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 differ depending upon airsoft game type. Frequently the targets engaged with airsoft guns are other participants over the course of force-on-force wars. This is why it is necessary for all game players on the field to use protective gear like airsoft goggles and face masks and follow the safety regulations of the airsoft field. Other kinds of targets can vary from static objects to paper targets as players participate in marksmanship contests and events by trying to strike objects at significantly more difficult ranges. Target acquisition, speed, and accuracy are important to keep the shots on target.
There are countless types of airsoft objectives and missions. The types of airsoft games are rather endless as players invent more kinds all of the time.
What is Milsim
Military simulation airsoft, or milsim, is usually a big aspect of airsoft. Milsim is the art of replicating a tactical setting. Lot of times this integrates a command with officers within the player ranks, transports, and semi-realistic atmospheres with mock battleground firecrackers or special effects. Much of the airsoft uniforms, objectives, and guns are reproductions of authentic weapons, fatigues, and real-world objectives taken from historical events. The final result of a realistic military simulation airsoft event produces game players looking very military-esque and kitted like soldiers.
Milsim airsoft weapons are based around the period and feature popular weapons during the time of the historical mission. For example, the M16A1 rifle has the classic appearance of a Vietnam era assault rifle, while other airsoft rifles like the Heckler & Koch HK416 and IWI TAVOR TAR-21 are far more modern. In strict milsim gameplay, weapons should follow the era, use relevant scopes, and be suitably modded.
A contemporary U.S. Navy Seal milsim uniform and loadout might integrate a Navy Working Uniform (NWU) camo 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 because the real equipment can cost thousands of dollars and be lighter to wear on the airsoft field.
The objectives undertaken during milsim operations include historic reenactments and missions or objectives set as historical fiction. Have you ever wished to storm the beaches of Normandy, protect the 38th Parallel, or deal with the drug lords of Mogadishu at the time of Blackhawk Down? Milsim combined with airsoft is the way you can actively join in and experience military history.
