Airsoft Guide

This is a guide for airsofting. I am making This because i have seen many guides that i find to be more of the backyard variety.

First off I am not claiming to be correct, or to be extremely knowledgeable on the subject, but i will be updating this instructable as i learn. also i will be updating the pictures with my own

Also this is based on the uk airsoft scene but should be good for everybody...

Step 1: The basic rules of engagement

What is airsoft?
In short a sport/activity that involves 2 or more teams of players running around an arena Firing 6mm or 8mm 0.2-0.35g plastic balls at each other traveling at anywhere upto 350 feet per second for fully auto weapons. Most common arenas seem to be woodland but can also take place indoors, in an open environment or a combination of the three.

The rules are pretty much the same at all sites regarding hits, if you are hit by a BB (ballistic ball) anywhere on the body you are dead, although unlike paintball there is no immediate mark and is completely honor based. In short you get hit, you declare yourself dead this is known as calling your hits.

My best advice is listen to the marshalls for the rest.

Oh I wont say it doesn't hurt, although I do not recommend wearing so much clothing that you cannot feel your hits, it doesn't hurt that much.

Hey, this is a great instructable and is very informative. Just one thing is missing... pictures! It really helps a lot when trying to follow directions so you should consider taking some photographs. Once you do that and leave me a message when you have so that we can publish your work. Thanks! Thanks for the cool instructable and we hope to publish this soon!

[okoshima]

Does the UK have BLM land? Thats where we do our battles, so we have many miles.

[okoshima]

its usually done on sites that are rented for such activities, our land laws are pretty strict in england.

sorry for the slow response

[SO4Jesus]

Dont worry bout in. In the U.S., you can do bout anything on BLM. Trap, hunt, fish. No offense, but i think strict landlaws, such as U.K.'s, shouldnt be in the governments hands. Though the BLM were I live was closed for 4 months bcause some1 commited suicede out there. Instead of simply closing the BLM land section there, they closed every public spot of land besides the pool. So, can kinda relate to strict land laws. We couldnt trap that year bcuase of that (one of m' favorite hobbies).

[okoshima]

yea, our laws are completely over the top. hell, unless you are on private land with full permission you cant have a fire or set up a camp etc, you cant trap as such in the uk, fishing requires a licence and you have to put them back after, we have some areas you can go walk but thats about it. hunting is even worse. no bow hunting, if you manage to get a firearms licence good luck finding somewhere to hunt with it etc. i envy you guys in the usa. and most other countries

[SO4Jesus]

:), yes, i fell bad 4 people who dont live in the U.S.A. And that is strict, must suck. Do they have media restrictions?

[scott8692]

[Sgt Niesen]

I have a M4 Carbine and I live in CA so would you know of a field in the Sacramento area?

[Ctholden]

Google an airsofters Bff

[FLairsoft]

well pistols in general is more of a last resort right? so why spend dover 80$ on a gas gun that you will hardly use and then buy gas and all that good stuff. not to mention that you have to make sure you don't play in cold weather either. Spring pistols should not be so frowned upon. They are cheap, reliable, but ultimatley they get the job done of being there when no one or nothing else is available. I personally love my UHC m92f Im trying not to ctricize your work either, it is a very good instructable I found that I advanced in airsoft just the way you explained it; nice job.

[Sgt Niesen]

Co2 does work just fine in cold weather but I did say Gas I'm just going off my 6 1/2 years in airsoft

[okoshima]

thanks, to be honest pistols are more of a backup/poser weapon, and cold weather with a gas gun really isn't that big a deal, I will be buying myself a hi-capa pistol at some point (green gas) but thats because after im done with my steyr aug it will be on the limit for fps and i will need a close quarters weapon

[Sgt Niesen]

I am very good at airsoft as I am a 5 year vet. and am extremely skilled with pistols and have owned people with aegs gbb gnbb shotguns and snipers so am I one of those exceptional people?

[commanderzhao]

is there any fields in sanders county, Montana?
I only have a forty-acre property that used to be a
tree farm.

[JamesTB13]

do you know any feilds near Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I've google'd it and still got nothing. also, i'm 14, so if it's really far it's kind of difficult. BTW, i've got a Crosman Tactical R76, i think. It's an AK-74. and i really love it

[Hitman227]

Wasaga airsoft.

[Capt. Kidd]

Omg that was my first gun, its pretty awesome. Careful with the stock and the mag, though. A solid impact and they're done for. Also, if you have mw2, dont try that flipping-mag-thing they do with the FAL.

[JamesTB13]

LOL, it's ok, dont have to worry about mistreating it, it uber-jammed like 2 months ago. I wish it hadn't been clear plastic, and I love the full stock look, and dont worry, im not trying anything i do in MW2

[okoshima]

its not in the uk so no. and take that to a skirmish and you will be laughed off the field in no time at all

[JamesTB13]

I know, but my budget is like nothing lol

[Sgt Niesen]

Mine to

[MAVREV13]

for a side arm would useing a eagle be better than useing a m1911 or 44.??????

[Sgt Niesen]

Dont go for the desert eagle they look cool but they jam a lot and there huge go for this gun its a c02 powered M1911 full metal full sized Sig Sauer gas blowback
for 80 bucks its a good deal

[MAVREV13]

thanks dude but my pc crashed and i dont have internet so i didnt read your comment till now, and i got a desert eagle but it is amazing no jams and its dead acurate, thanks anyway dude
