Very very well done news clip, I thought it would be absolutley bullshit but it really does show what the sport is all about.

Nice find... Semi-only restrictions must change the game-play quite a bit...

Good stuff, it shows what this sport is all about. The game they showed looked really fun.

yeah nice video.....it would be wicked if there could be like an international comp for team from every country.....

Very well done video! Makes me what to start digging trenches at the LZ for next season. Glad to see it's put in the proper context, at least the woman's "Boy will be boys" attitude and the way the players explained everything as it should be told. Assume the "uniform" is a police officer/chief, and he made a couple decent points, but even still, semi only is much better than "airsoft is illegal" mentality we hear of (Australia for example............ yes, I know, people have protested my being wrong before on this, fact is, I'm right. Just ask AussieJim on Airsoft Ottawa, he came up here (yes, literally from Australia!!!) for Op:QuickPass at the Rawdon field back in Sept. Talking to him......... yes, airsoft is indeed fully illegal in all forms, look at the most recent thread posted here showing that half sized AK-47s got siezed because they are realistic looking toys that could hurt someone. Proof enough for the naysayers?)

I'll watch that segment a few more times because it was so well done! Good find Conscript!

awesome sweet vid, god wens nxt game!

nice and representative of the sport...except when the guy demonstrates how it feels to get hit...lol...i only wish...

Hey, that's how I demonstrate how most hits feel, then I follow it up with some that hit relatively unprotected skin, meaning a layer of clothing on top or two, and a close in shot, then say that sometimes they leave stinging welts......... extremely close noob range, bleeders. Makes them respect me more, especially my co-workers!

Great video Conscript, that field had some awesome trenches :)

i liked to see airsoft getting some good media its been sometime now. what they said about players staying low is ture, there fake good, letting the player talk about the sport not some random reporter and showing a game so people can see what its about. then showing how it was diffenert from pb in the unobveus ways.

Also good was the fact that the official had his opinion about the legality of the sport and the guns used, then the player's response of it being a "knee jerk reaction". Happy it was protrayed on BOTH sides for once, the responsible ones and the legal ones. Legal ones tend to be more opinion than fact, and the players tend to be more responsible due to common sense. Notice it was mentioned their community is pretty close knit and that they "take care in who they show their guns to."

Awesome piece, great to see responsible and unbiased reporting for once! Hats off to the Kiwis. :)

Good stuff Putin! Lol, Putin your money where your mouth is! Man, that is a fun name to play with, but not nearly as classic as a guy I know, last name is Kuntz............ wow, can you imagine being him in grade/high school? Lol

Bravo :tup:

I can. In a country where Pu-tin doesnt sound like poutine. Also i imagine him being able to nuke the whole damn planet...
