| Airsoft is a sport that is best played if you show up with the basic gear...Your airsoft gun and Eye protection....
You could run in gun with just that but..It pains me to kill you again Comrad!
There are other load outs that should not be taken for granted... and could make the game a lot more fun and safe.
Situation games will or will not work with out them....Take red Rags:
Red rags clearly identify that the target is no longer to be shot at... In airsoft, this is international as the Death rag or Referee colors.
Hands and guns up high will only go so far as in the running and gunning all our senses revert to basic intincts of the hunt and maybe complicated ID checks or studys of the target could not be made with speed...This is a Fight situation so it needs to be Dumb down and made basic simple so that no one could be lite up unessesarrily or wasted ammo on targets that are already declaring they are hit!
Red rags are cheap and If you say you are not a n00b, then bring one!
Red rags should be placed in an easy access pocket so that it may be pulled out and placed where all may see it.
During the time of being hit, expect to be further shot at until you display the colors so train to do it fast!
There should be no arguing about the issue of getting shot at during the critical hit moments...Just raise the death rag and absorb the hits if you delay!
Remember that not every one and a sniper from afar can hear you or tell if you are calling out hit...Please go by the book and do not cut corners on this loadout item.
Mouth guards or face mask:
Really cool airsoft fields are getting more and more like CQB in situations and now, only the head may present a target!
This is a sport where sooner or later a BB might make a nasty mark on the face, possiblly breaking teeth!...I know because I have been lite up in all kinds of trails and fields with all sorts of players going full auto and hog wild with the pray and spray tactics.
There are many sorts of tactical face protections...The all important Eye is a must!
Never remove your eye protection in the field during or after a combat game...in fact, it is seconds after a game is over , that a tardy player may open fire assuming the game is still on and I really hate it when I see a bunch of n00bs ripp off there goggles or face masks at the critical end of games.
N00bs do not help, but YOU CAN!....Do your part and spred the word...ENFORCE the RULES....NEVER SLACK OFF!
The thing is if you act the sport in a sort of Lazy laid back way, you will get undiciplined players and shitty games...possiblly even nasty accidents too!
I do not want to be the only one to Bitch about it...I actually need more players to carry on this and copy what the Pros and the rest of the international airsoft community is doing....We do not need to have visitors come and see Florida airsoft as a Unruly savage backwater to the airsoft sport...Wanna play airsoft, then play it like a simulated diciplined military and not some game that looks like a n00b fest of kiddys and monkeys!
This will not work if it is not passed on to others or put into practice...if you really love this sport, then you should now be going through your stuff and finding, acquiring or making the gear..Hell ,even getting a spare for a team mate!
See ya on game day!
Ok, Its my last call to arms....to help the Rather pathetic!
DEATH RAGS!.....bring them!.....NOW!
Make them, buy some ...generiously go in the spirit of sanddragon...push forwards to influence safer and better games.
Make it effective!
Make it...EFFECTIVE NOW!
RED RAGS!
Only N00bs cut corners! | |
