Airsoft Experiences - Care to share?
 

Hello members of ASC. I am Hutch and I am thirteen years of age. Wait! Hold the flame, just for a second please and hear me out. This is not a thread about what gun is the best, nor a thread asking for links to a site that sells AEG's for cheap prices.

I have read up and I know I cannot legally play the sport until I reach the age of majority. So I don't plan to until then, but I would like for some of you to share your experiences with airsoft. Like your favorite moment of a game, or something along the lines of that. And please go into detail, I can't play fore quite some time yet, so all I have left to do really is read all about it.

The best way to sample game experiences is to read the After Action Report forum. It's essentially people talking about the best (and worst) experiences in a game they just attended.

First of all, welcome to the boards and well done. You seem to be smart enough to understand and respect the rules. Thats a very good thing. We dont get many kids your age with any kind of smarts. Keep it up and your bound to make some friends and more importantly gain the respect of the more senior members here who have seen far to many "l33t sn1p3r" types around here.

As for the actual question, My best experience was a cqb match with some friends where i went 26-6 (kill/death). I had some spectacular rushes and the best mercy kills I could have ever dreamt of.

My best experience is when I played airsoft.

Man that was a fun half hour.

Spectate
 

Best thing for you to do is to see if you can spectate a game or two to see for your self what the games are like!

Haven't been to a game yet but everything I like so far.

The age rep I met was a cool guy, got it done quickly and fast. Took a little while though, because I was busy and he was also busy when I wasn't but I still got it done. Really flexible in meeting me. Took a good 5 seconds to do, I felt bad about dragging him out of bed early in the morning though so I offered him some coffee from timmies and he declined.

Also @ OP:

Wait till about 15/16 and get your parents involved, and look up a guy named Hitarosu (sp?) he did everything right and basically set the bar for underage kids.

Good job NOT doing:
(Note: You can't buy a sniper. You can buy a sniper rifle not a sniper. How can you buy a person? Well unless....)

An easier way to 'spectate' is to offer yourself up as a camera man. I was braught into a game here in manitoba with a bunch of freinds to take pictures for the op, later on that day, I got to actually participate in the game itself! I was only 16 at the time, too :)

welcome to the fourm finaly some young brains are rolling in a great thing to experiance is opening your first gun from that foam packed box and smell the fresh metal and smell or the future like smelling coffie in the mourning zomg i drool just thinking about it welcome once again

I'll try and respond to every one who has posted so far in this post.

The Saint: Thank you for directing me there, it was pretty much exactly what I was looking for. So I feel kinda foolish to have ever started this thread in the first place

Trayne wr3ck: Thanks for that, it's nice not to be considered a "l33t sn1per." Lol. And good job, can't wait until I can get into a game and do something like that.

Aquamarine: I'm sure it was. Also lol...

Brit ter: Hmm, spectating a game does sound perfect though I would need to find one near Dryden Ontario.

L473ncy: Cool it's good to know it won't take too long to get verified once I come of age. And I did as you said I should and looked up Hitarosu and was able to find some things on him, though I only read his first thread. Still it was quite helpful.

Thatotherguy: Offer my self up as a camera man eh? It does sound like an excellent idea, though I don't really have any kind of camera gear or anything. Even had I some I don't think I'm too good at snapping photo's. But then again maybe I'm not as bad as I think, maybe I'll borrow a camera from a relative and see if I can get some good shots. If I can, I might just do as you said.

NoGear: Thanks for the welcome NoGear. I dream almost constantly of that day where I can finally peel back the packaging and glimpse the first sight of my brand new AEG.

EDIT/P.S: I forgot this when I first posted, should I bother updating my profile? Seeing hows I'm terribly underage?

Personally, I enjoy the after event dinner, well atleast thats what we do here. We play and then we all go out and eat and chat and just relax.

Sneaking up behind your enemy and mercy killing him with a barrel to the neck is very satisfying.

Holding a crack shack alone for the most part and getting 5 or so kills while not getting hit yourself is pretty satisfying :d

And often touch each other from behind....
*glares at Styrak*

We agreed not to talk about that anymore.

+1 Its my favorite thing to but normally its a bbq at the field if its a local game. Great way to relax and when all is said and done if you had a bad day on the field you still go home smiling. Which is why I play to have fun.

why not read some A.A.R. reports AND watch some videos? here is my video link:

i have 99 videos posted and only 8 are not airsoft related. enjoy...

mine happened at teh foxden. we were attacking th ePOW base from two angles my smaller squad got sent to attac the side the watch tower is on. We quickly dispatched those in side the tower to discover that the enemy force had thier backs to us while the rest of my unit (unbeknowsnt to me) stayed at the tower. I proceded to rush in and get 8 kills before being team killed myself (glares at Hazzard SFD) that was a good day felt like rambo i did.

1. yes update your profile, the site's been here longer than the 5 years you might need to wait to play.

2. Hitarosu is a great example of noobdom to follow, he's earning our respect very quickly out here.

3. you're off to a good start, I second the cameraman idea, get yourself a hiviz vest and just shoot all day, if you take 100 pictures then 10 or 15 will be awesome.

+1

I agree with Colt...shoot as many stills as you can it will also help you if you "get into the feel" of the game shoot from low angles. behind cover etc...it will help you learn more as well.

perhaps for the next few years try a bushball paintball team? it will help you with tactics etc. I know its not airsoft but at least it is ok for your age to play. and you will learn stuff like hand signals etc for when you "graduate" to airsoft.

getting shot in the ass on my first airsoft game!

-Taking a piss in game.

-Being stuck under fire, having to wait for backup... sit back against the log and have a cigarette... cant advance nor retreat as I was pinned down and the enemy had the same range as the sniper rifle which was covering me for the time being.

-The hot dogs served at the local field Panther. Untill the hot dog guy was kicked out and the field began their own "lunch spot" with crappy hot dogs/burgers/fries. I miss the hot dogs from "Mr. Tube Steak"... those Jalepeno & Cheddar dogs were the best. THe field has those "Hebrew National" kosher hot dogs as they no longer taste like cruelty.

-Not knowing whats over each ridge, behind each bush and under each log. Always on the watch. Setting up a small ambush and waiting for the enemy to pass. Camping for the enemy. The whole "Surprise" factor basically.

- The guns, the upgrading, the accessories, the parts.

TokyoSeven: I didn't know there was after game dinners and the such, but now that I think about it it makes perfect sense. And yeah I would enjoy that too, especially after a day of running my ass off in full gear.

Muffin: Would have loved to see the look on that guys face.

Andres: Certainly sounds satisfying. Defending objectives and locations will probably be my favorite part of a game I don't know what it is but the aspect of holding down the fort against an enemy assault is just exhilarating.

Aquamarine: Wait hold on a sec... Maybe these after game dinners arn't what I thought they were... maybe it'll be best to avoid them after all...

TokyoSeven: Well if it is as it sounds... who would wanna talk about it again?

TCLP: Yeah at the end of the day I guess all that really matters is that you had a good time. Sounds kinda cheesy but true.

six4 A grand idea, yet I am running on dial-up. So an idea I cannot use, sadly.

Chuco: That would suck, having your streak ended, and by a team-mate too!

ColtFarmer: I definatly will update my profile right after this post. And Hitarosu does seem like a very respectable person, I will do all I can to follow the example he continues to set. The more I think about it the better the camera man idea sounds, and just so I'm clear on this hiviz = High Visibility right?

deep in the bush: Bushball. I did not think of it because well I didn't know a non-run-and-gun version of paint ball existed maybe I'll try it out, or at least google it later. Oh and about the pictures I understand why it would help me "get into the game" a little better seeing hows, opposed to just spectating, I can actually feel like I am contributing, however small it may be.

KNIVEZS: Ouch... Least it wasn't bare-assed... or was it :D

demco11: The surprise factor or suspense is one of the major things that turned me onto Airsoft when I first learned of the sport. Well that and MilSim Games (Which is the hardest thing to wait for. MilSim games just seem so amazing.)

Scenario bushball DOES exist. They use tactics and squad/section attacks in order to accomplish objectives and such. It's not that bad. It's definitely more feasible for your age.

Also, if you go out as a cameraman, you might find yourself pulled into a scenario as a "hostage" or "VIP". We've done that with camera people before. I think there is great footage of me taking the cameradude hostage, making fun of him and then getting lit up by three people all at the same time. I just don't know where it is.

So yeah, look into your local paintball field and see about scenario paintballers.

And no, that wasn't my favourite airsoft moment. My favourite airsoft moment was... well, search on youtube for the Windsor Airsoft Club Zombie Hunt. It's either that or the time I charged an objective with nothing but a hockey stick.

What can you do. Sometimes I get lonely.

Best thing about airsoft is chairsoft.

I like the man sex personally.
