Once hit, you are either out of the game or sent to a respawn zone where you must wait for a set time to be up before you return. Failure to report a hit is considered cheating and if you are caught doing so, you will be instantly disqualified.
All airsoft facilities will have their own guidelines to follow during a battle or gameplay. Here are some things to keep in mind that are generally followed by most airsoft facilities, indoor and outdoor. Many facilities have rules against firing wildly during a battle and without any real purpose when shooting.
There will be dedicated firing zones on a field and you should never fire your weapon unless you are in these safe zones. Airsoft has a large and loyal community and using foul language, aggressive behavior, and cheating will generally not be tolerated.
Airsoft has many types of gameplay and scenarios, and in each one, players will be designated a role. The gear required for a battle will depend on what scenario is being played out and the specifics about weapons and roles. As a growing sport and one with millions of players in this country alone, there are usually plenty of options for arenas and fields to enjoy airsoft.
Check your local area to see what facilities are available and find out what battles and games they have planned for the day you want to go. These places usually work on a timetable or regular schedule so you can book in for the type of challenge you want or show up on the day. Airsoft is a game designed for entertainment but there are still many rules and regulations that must be adhered to.
The price will depend on the type of match being played, the size of the arena, and what day of the week and time it is occurring. Each facility will have its own age limits or restrictions in place, but generally, the minimum age to play an airsoft battle is years old, and some set at 18 years old. Other restrictions could include not allowing players under the influence of drugs or alcohol onto the field.
Airsoft laws differ in each state and although it is meant to be a safe game there are still restrictions in place. In Arkansas, the possession and use of airsoft guns is completely banned, and in Massachusetts and California, the legal age to purchase and use these air weapons is Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to:.

What is Airsoft? Official Field Rules. Physical or verbal Aim for a center of mass and avoid the head of face DO NOT shoot lights, speakers, signs, cameras, or fire safety equipment DO NOT shoot at the props, fog machines, laser light machines or other game enhancers. They are there to give you a better experience, not as targets DO NOT climb on the walls, windows, scaffolding or banisters NEVER walk into the field while games are in play Take the magazine out of your gun when not within the field walls Respect your referee and other players Do not shoot other players within the 10ft surrender distance Referee staff hold the right to separate players into whatever team designation they deem appropriate and necessary for the given session in play for any reason.
A Message From The Owner. So you're about to take your first shots. What should you do to prepare? A pair of gloves. You can go in almost anything, although it's your own skin. I'd suggest neutral colors and comfortable clothing above all. Your big red sweater might block the bb's, but it's a tasty target, and your blue dress shirt will feel and look awful after a few rounds of sweating and leaning on barriers. As for gloves, paintball gloves, fitting work gloves not the big gray Mickey Mouse ones, you need your finger to fit inside the trigger guard are decent, but "Mechanix" gloves will also work, they sell a pair that doesn't have their brand standing out in white, so try and find those if you want to be more stealthy.
Bring money, of course, and maybe some bottled water if the field allows it. A probably helpful tip that I've personally never followed: band-aids or a first aid kit, but most wounds are pretty minor. Either a real gun bag, the box it came in, or a backpack will do, but not a paper or plastic bag. You want the profile to be covered at the very least.
You should not be walking around outside with an exposed weapon. Ask the field for more info. For CQB, you want to get there, get ready and hop right in. I usually load my hi-cap mags, put in my fully charged battery, and recheck my stuff before I leave the house.
Although if you have a rifle with a slippery safety, best not to risk it shooting off in the car on the way there. Also, if you have a high powered flashlight, I suggest taking the batteries out, i've melted a lens cap and a MOLLE pouch by leaving it in and the flashlight gets accidentally switched on.
If you stop after this page, I won't feel bad, just make sure you read all the rules! These are basics, the rules may be different at the field you attend, if you don't know, be sure to ask! Eye protection! This is default for any type of game. Once you enter the CQB field, your eye protection should be on. Between games it's usually okay to walk around unprotected, but if there's bb's in the air or you don't know, put your goggles or mask on.
If your protection comes off and you're in a dangerous situation, call yourself out, and hold your mask or goggles over your eyes and carefully walk out. If you can't, shout for the refs, "blind man" or similar should get their attention. Better the round gets postponed for a few minutes than someone gets hurt and everyone has to stop for much longer, or at worst, medical attention needs to be called.
No physical contact! This means no fighting. The last thing anyone wants is a fight to break out when people are carrying high powered projectile weapons. And even without them, it ruins the game. Most field will kick you out or ban you for getting fights. At the field I play at, this extends to verbal contact with the other team. There's no shouting expletives or taunts, because for the most part that is not tactical, or good sportsmanship.
Some fields allow "silent kills" where you touch the barrel of the gun against your unaware target, in this manner you don't give away your position to the enemy. Call your hits! The first 2 rules were safety issues, this rule is the core of airsoft. This is not paintball, where hits are bright and obvious, a 6mm plastic bb is nearly invisible at speed, they make black bb's to make them even harder to spot.
Airsoft is honor based, and calling yourself out, raising your hand or weapon, and getting off the field is required for the game to work. Some times you will hear the hit if not feel it, but still, you call yourself out. Remember: the reverse is true, if you're shooting someone obviously hitting them and they are not calling themselves out, keep shooting them! What's a hit? Hits on your rifle are not hits at the field I play at, nor are ricochet hits, but these really only apply if you can see the bb's bouncing off an opposing wall.
Friendly fire being shot by your own team mates counts as being hit, and everyone makes this mistake at one time or another, just try and be careful.
Minimum engagement distance This distance is variable by field, but also varies in situations. At close range, feet and especially less , if you come upon an enemy facing you, you usually don't shoot, you both are out at my field.
Some fields require you to stop, back up without firing, and reengage at a safer distance. You should call surrender to exposed opponents who don't know you're there as well, it's bad form to shoot players close range in the back.
But again, if they don't take the offered surrender, shoot them! Talking will usually get you sent off the field, or more severe punishment by the refs. Sit out a round, sit out the night 6. Listen to the refs! The refs, unless you're playing a pickup game, work for the field, and have the authority to kick you out. First of all, playing in view of other people puts you at risk of having law enforcement called by a scared neighbor.
As ridiculous as that may seem, remember that if someone walks or drives by your house and catches a glance of people firing very realistic-looking rifles at each other, it is very easy for that person to panic and call the cops.
Secondly, if you were to accidentally fire your gun and hit a bystander, you could get in serious trouble with the law. Under no circumstance should you EVER play in a public area such as a park. This is the type of behavior that leads towns and cities to ban airsoft. Find private land to play on, get permission from the owner, and keep airsoft fun for everyone!
Get permission to play in the desired area. It needs to be private property! You should inform your neighbors on what you are planning to do. If you're not sure where you are allowed to play, you can always call the local police station and ask about the laws regarding airsoft usage. Learn good tactics. There are some basic tactics that you should use when you are first starting out, and you may already know some of them.
Choose your game type. You and your teammates try to "kill" the other team by shooting them. Hits are based on the honor policy. A hit system should be worked out. Usually one or two hits and you're out; sometimes there is the ability to come back to life via a medic or respawn point. The team that kills all the members of the other team wins. In an objective based game, you assemble two teams and each team has to either defend or attack a target, set up an ambush, the possibilities are endless.
A fun option might be capture the flag. MilSim stands for military simulation. Players sides are decided by uniform and kit. The games are story driven. Get into proper clothing and safety. If you're playing your game at night, you might want to invest in some clothing for sneaking around. Camouflage is fun, but it tends to be highly specific to the kind of environment you're in. Its better to invest in some dark blue clothing for nighttime games, since dark blue will work well to blend you in just about everywhere.
You must always wear some sort of eye protection! An airsoft pellet aimed at your head could take your eye out. Wear something like safety glasses or a Paintball Mask, even if you wear eyeglasses normally. You can get goggles to fit over your glasses. Always test ALL the pairs of goggles with each new gun that is added to the team, to make sure its safe.
The best way to test is to set them up on top of a wooden fence or other surface. Don't perform the test in front of houses, cars, or anything else. If you can't get them off of the ground, you can set them on the pavement and kneel down. Always test at a fairly close range feet, not point blank. Have fun. Stay loose and just shoot. Use cover. A prime example of cover is a trench. While a trench is good for taking cover, it's not perfect; keep in mind that it both restricts you from moving forward and back, you can generally move only parallel to your opponent this all depends on the curvature and length of the trench.
Other than the obvious example of a trench, many things can be used as cover: A wide tree, man made cover like some stacked tires , corners of a building, and even dense shrubs or bushes can block most if not all airsoft BBs.
Bad cover is also a thing to watch out for. In emergency situations these are better than nothing but it's best to avoid them if at all possible. Cover is a valuable asset towards winning a match, always keep an eye out for good cover in front, behind, and to the left and right of you. Employ stealth. Now, it's nearly impossible for an untrained civilian to effectively conceal themselves let alone move undetected under a trained eye, but hopefully you're not fighting professional soldiers.
In airsoft concealing yourself can be as simple as staying low, slow, and quiet. Stay crouched down or even prone on a rare occasion, this isn't ideal due to the fact that it basically immobilizes you if you are discovered. Avoid an enemy's line of sight if at all possible, and if you are caught in their line of sight freeze and don't move, even if they are starring right at you they may not have spotted you.
The human eye is very good at detecting any movement, but not very good at picking out a camouflaged non-moving figure. However, if they have you in their sights stay low and run for the nearest cover. Practice shooting. There are a few key steps to shooting that can help you both get kills, keep from getting hit, and conserve ammo.
