Airsoft Game Excitement

Hey, whats with all the excited hype about airsoft scenario games? Have you ever been to a large airsoft game?

Once you have you will know what all the excitement is. These airsoft games are an adrenaline junkies best friend. OK, so this guy in the airsoft picture to the right does not look too excited....BUuuuuT when you consider he was playing a two day airsoft game and this was the morning of day two, then you begin to see this as a different picture. Airsoft is considered an extreme sport and many of the scenarios are designed to re-create some of the stresses and extreme conditions of real world battle scenarios without the causalities. Twelve, Twenty Four, and even 36 hour game missions are not unheard of. The games typically follow a MILSIM (military simulation) storyline but games that follow world war 2 and sci-fi storylines as well as western, gangster and zombie scenarios are becoming more popular.

Typically these Live Action Role Playing or Airsoft LARP's will have dress code requirements for players. A milsim game may require players to wear one type of camouflage such as BDU, ACU or marpat. Gangster style airsoft larps may require people to come dressed as they wish as many different role players are needed for this style of game. Our Wisconsin airsoft games calender list games that have no dress codes and some that do. Many of the ABZ free airsoft games feature open game dates where players and event organizers can try out their own mini list of individual airsoft game requirements.

teams love to sport their gear and are happy at games to provide airsoft safety and field information as well. Many of these players have had and still have thousands of dollars worth of gear and their hands on opinions and reviews can save a new player allot of time when shopping or searching for a durable The amount of airsoft weapons and gear that is used and displayed at these events is enough to boggle the mind. Airsoft guns of every style and model are used and players love to share information about airsoft manufacturers and Airsoft gun field performance. Wisconsin airsoftairsoft gun. Some brands of airsoft equiptment such as Inokatsu are not widely known, although the M60 shown here is well known among airsoft gamers. So now you know what all the hype is, and why players get so excited about these games. Its a chance to be the hero or the villian and fully play the part you dream of, complete with simulated kills, battlefield sounds, skilled opposition or exotic belly dancers. (yes belly dancers have been included in an airsoft game:) Regardless what style airsoft game you choose to play its an adrenaline rush to have a carload of gangsters pull up to your hideout with airsoft tommy guns blazing while you and your mafia try to sneak out the back to avoid capture or worse. How about an attempt at exploiting the well guarded mines of a distant moon that is protected by the Federation Alliance Forces. The great thing is even if you lose the war or the battle the most you go home with is a bruised ego and some airsoft bb welts. This still beats sitting on the couch doing the same thing virtually, but only exercising your thumbs.

Airsoft Gun Game Terminology

Ever notice each sport or hobby we join is loaded with new acronyms and phrases. Well airsoft gamers are the same way but to extreme levels. At any one of our airsoft games you could over hear a conversation that sounds like this "I was down in sector six reloading my AEG hi-caps when a coupla tango's jumped me on my six, had to pull out my GBB and managed to KO Three mercs before the Op4's lit me up. Couldn't get my kill rag on my head fast enough".
If a new player was standing there with a bewildered look on their face we would just smile and say "noob". At first the lingo sounds funny, then it catches on and one day you find yourself at a group function that is not airsoft related and you tell a story like the one quoted above and people look at you very puzzled and sympathetic for your condition. Yep thats the day you realize you are not a noob anymore...They Are.
So by now you are probably wondering whats up with all the guys with red rags on their heads. D.E.A.D. All of them wearing kill rags for airsoft games. This simple red rag is a signal in a simulated airsoft war game that your opponent has hit you. Rules of events will vary from game to game but generally a bb hit will require you to pull out the rag to signal the hit as well as yell out to audibly signal as well.

And if the acronyms are not hard enough to remember many airsoft teams have call signs and code word airsoft terminology to further confuse their opponents. Its all part of the game plan and the secret nature of milsim and scenario type airsoft games.
