Hey y'all,

I'm playing in my first winter outdoor game this upcoming weekend, and I just wanted some advice for keeping warm for a long day of winter airsoft. Obviously, I'm going to layer up, under and outer layers, since it's expected to be about 30°F (-1.1°C) out: thinking some long johns beneath my BDU pants, a thermal shirt below whatever other shirt or hoodie I have on up top, my usual winter hiking boots, full finger gloves, a beanie for my head, a shemagh to use as a scarf, and possibly a thinner winter coat beneath my PC and over top of whatever shirt I've got on. Is there anything I'm missing? Anything you'd add?

I've been working on this build for about 5 or 6 months, and it's almost ready, all is missing is a flash hider and a flashlight or anpeq.

My first attempt at an airsoft kit: a Softair AKS-74U, an Israeli gas mask (don't worry, the lenses aren't glass), a leather bag with a first-aid kit, a Fulton flashlight from 'Nam, a combat coat (possibly one specifically used by Special Operations guys) also from 'Nam, and normally a WWII canteen and belt. In the future, I hope to add a Makarov for a sidearm. I'm trying for a post-apocalyptic feel, so I wrapped the stock and added a sling for the 74U with some scrap fabric. I've not had it long enough to do much else. Any recommendations for ways to weather the 74U?

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 ❤️

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.

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.

im moving back there soon due to family reasons, but i dont know any fields nearby. i used to live there, but was under 9, and now im 14 and looking to find more fields there, and if anyone wants to talk airsoft, im always down and kinda lonely lol.

Hey guys, I recently joined the airsort community and I’m touching base to know if there is anyone from Tulsa, OK here.

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.

How's it going guys! Check out one of the funnest games I had personally played in South Africa!

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.

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!
