Anyone in South Florida?

I wish there was a community I can be a part of, if one doesn't exist, I would like to call people within my local to help build something new. If there already is, I would like to see if I would be a good fit(and a way to logistically start like a discord link or something).

Thank you ❤️

is airsoft legal in british columbia CA?

i’m a girl since the last time i played so i’m not thrilled on going back to the local field where guys were running around in rhodesian camo, skull facemasks and a literal SS uniform unbothered.

but i do want to be a tac2cool operator girl and i have some cool fit ideas that involve crop tops and drop leg holsters.

I used to think there was no point for this sub because I was under the impression our cool hobby as apolitical, but now I can understand your sentiments.

Let me start off by saying I am not left wing. I happen to be more right wing, but I can now empathize with people in this sub having discontent with a lot of aspects of the hobby. r/airsoftcirclejerk was flaming me for being critical of wearing Nazi memorabilia to the field - in the case of my post, it was someone wearing a helmet with a swastika on it. For whatever reason I may be in the minority for thinking wearing any of that crap without reenacting is unnecessary. Am I that crazy for thinking all the Nazi-related bullshit should stay out of airsoft if it isn’t for historical purposes? It’s exceptionally hard to try to explain this to ignorant people especially as a Jew where it may seem that I have an obvious predisposed view in this subject.

Cull your feeds

Lots of reasons to unfollow, block, and delete today. On every platform. This includes fields, products, influencers, uncles, etc., that show that they don’t care about whether you live or die.

A local airsoft field posts “Thank god” about the orange dictator? (I’m looking at you, Highland in SoCal) Unfollow, block, and spend your dough on admission elsewhere if you have the option and NEED to play.

You’re NEVER going to be able to fully divest (we’re talking gear, guns, and accessories, here, after all). But if you’re spinning out because your hobby feed is full of bootlickers and rectumsuckers celebrating the continuation of fascism’s empowerment… Delete, block, etc., and maybe you spend that hobby money on LEGO or woodburning or donations to your local unhoused care delivery group or whatever.

Take a breath, assess your situation, then act. We can’t fight at full strength without YOU, comrade.

Build your community IN REAL LIFE. Check in with your queer cousin who doesn’t know what to do. Text that coworker who just arrived in this country. Be a PERSON in the LIVES of the people around you.

We need EACH OTHER, because our country is ready to abandon and harm us.

Yall think that, in some way, a mil sim is good for practice of conflict?

Milsim tends to have a lot of vets and the like in them. And a lot of them take legit skermishes an replays them through fields. So imo I could def see doing some milsim or really any air soft as a pretty safe, and probabl effective way of practicing tactics and the like.

At thevery least. I'd imagine someone taking Airsoft seriously would end up doing better in a real scenario then someone who sat on their ass.

Die NVA now recruiting

Greetings, comrades. Die Nationale Volksairsoft (NVA) is currently seeking members interested in attending milsim events (and just to play airsoft in general). We aim to be a big-tent leftist group with no political intentions - just no fucking fash or reactionaries allowed.

Our only requirements thus far are:

  1. Be 18 or older
  2. Use generally Rusfor/Militia equipment and guns (AK, RPK, etc)
  3. East German (DDR) Strichtarn uniform (jacket/shirt, pants, headwear)

We are not interested in doing super accurate impressions of a particular DDR military element, just wearing the pattern and playing bb wars with comrades. If you want to go wild developing an impression of a late 80's 40. Fallschirmjägerbataillon soldier you are more than welcome to as long as the impression will comply with group uniform requirements at events.

We are currently targeting Milsimwest's next Hill 559 (Kharkiv) event in late February as our first outing. Playing as Militia this time, Rusfor in the future. If you're interested, hit me up for an invite to the Discord!

Non political or socialist camo

If anyone has any non political camo patterns to recommend please let me know, alternatively if anyone knows where to get cuban military camo clothing or camo developed by other socialist countries I would be interested. Im not educated on the politics right now but I dont want to be accidentally dog whistiling when playing airsoft. I might be overthinking but idk. Is phantomleaf camo non political? thought it looked cool but I have no idea. anyhing helps, thanks.

I bought my first airsoft gun about a month ago, Ive played a few times since and have had a great time. unfortunately I didn't do enough research and ended up with a subpar gun. I want to play some more before I guy something nicer but could anyone help me pick from the arcturus ak12pe or the g&g sgr556. I just want something that is competitive out of the box that i dont need to upgrade for now. any advice would help, also if you guys know any better guns around or under 500. thanks.

I own a Umarex Glock 19x and Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4. But my friend is looking for something more authentic.

My friend is wondering if there is a Glock Airsoft Gun made by Glock Inc., or if Umarex is the Airsoft Glock counterpart (I know it is fully Licensed by Glock) and Glock Inc. doesn't make an Airsoft version themselves?

God Bless,

First post here. Most I've ever tricked out a gun. Will post my entire collection later.

I'm planning on bringing this to a Fallout-themed event in NorCal. Looking forward to it.

Discord

Hello all! Im a member of many different airsoft servers on discord, but unfortunately many of them lean pretty hard right, and it doesn't make for a safe and fun experience for everyone. I love chatting and sharing pictures of airsoft, but I would like to do so in a welcoming environment. Does anyone have recommendations for good friendly servers, or would anyone be interested in creating a server that would be more inviting and left leaning for the community?

Best rif for woodland?

Just started airsoft, I have a delta poineer breacher which I know don't last, hence me "retiring" it to just the occasional cqb weapon. However I'm not sure which rifs have good range etc on them, therefore I'm hoping to find some advice in what I should buy. I've heard delta armoury is good, my budget is around £200 - £300. Thanks in advance
