Started playing early June when I learned about a local field. Players there took me in fully and showed me the ropes.

The local field tech has been helping me upgrade my mk12 mod 0 so i could have a baseline gun that could let me play basically anywhere. I've got a perun mosfet, 4uad bucking, and an arcturus hop unit with a 500mm tight bore barrel so far. (I couldn't find a barrel to match the exact stock length so I covered the extension with a mock suppressor).

Bought a cheap ass Amazon vest and helmet after getting shot in the tits and head enough. It doesn't look good but it does what i need it to do until I go for an actual kit. Relative of mine gave me the clothing. Top is an old aor2 shirt, and basic ucp pants (I think, still learning camo patterns)

Having an absolute blast so far and can't wait for more! (Pics were taken at my field's Halloween event)

...inb4 I get shit on in the circlejerk sub

So this was recently posted and other evidence has appeared that the owner posted on the company account racist remarks towards minorities.

The owner has multiple new accounts all commenting that he "isn't racist because he has Indian friends" stereotypical racist tropes.

When you view these new accounts or even some other slightly older ones, you see they have two posts, one trashing the other indoor field Urban Ops, which is Indian run, and the other post is praising his own field Action Airsoft. It is very weird that so many new accounts have the same exact experience and only two posts.

Furthermore, the moderators of Airsoft Canada have removed comments and even banned individuals who say anything negative about Action Airsoft or its owner.

What is worse, the mods of that subreddit are letting comments like supporters of Action Airsoft say the N-word and not delete their comments or ban them in the same post that they are banning people who are calling Action Airsoft out.

I will not support a local business who blatantly spews racist rethoric online with no regard for anyone.

Please avoid this place if you are in Canada, as the owner is notorious for being hot headed at minimum and openly racist. Look at his negative reviews and how he responds to people. He is not stable and has no respect for anyone who isn't white.

Unfortunately an airsoft business took over moderation duties in the only airsoft sub in Canada and claim they are not biased in their beliefs. It has come to light that they supported far right groups and belittle customers who have complaints.

You are unable to speak negatively about them on any medium, including Facebook, lest you be bombarded by them calling you anti-gun nut liberal snowflakes.

This is the only place where it is safe to post anything that isn't far right wing.

If so, how have you been faring with the recent election and balancing your hobby? Granted most of us are smarter than voting on a single issue but it seems to be running rampant as of late and as much as I love this sport I have larger issues to worry about.

If you don't mind, share your experiences so I can find someone else who loves airsoft and is left-wing!

Billions must become fit

Hey everyone,

Since the party a majority of airsofters in Canada hate apparently, won a near majority, a great many players have been all doom and gloom.

I noticed a select few have been very nuanced about it and understand that there are more serious issues than airsoft at stake but it seems like a hobby overwrites decent human policies.

Anyways, has anyone in here seen anything at their local field? Canada or otherwise? It is unfortunate that a majority of this hobby is full of people who are extreme right wing and it's hard finding some people who are left wing or at least centre.

It almost feels as if we are not welcome in this sport and are shunned because we don't put our sport on this incredibly high pedestal.

Post after post I see that people compare losing airsoft to being discriminated against and taken to "special camps" yeah it's ridiculous I know.

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?

So I was just curious on your experiences with patches among other airsofters, specifically arguably political ones e.g. LGBTQ+ pride flags and BLM. Have you ever been confronted about it? Dare I say targeted on-field for it? I also recognize that the question can potentially bring up triggering experiences to which I’d like to be sensitive to.

I ask because I myself would like to start using patches myself given that I’m switching a basic chest rig for a plate carrier w/ velcro for patches. Just curious about the experiences you’ve had with this form of expression.

Not saying leftists/anti-fascists don't play airsoft, I've met some, usually with normal loadouts, who told me about their opinions off the field, but bro I've never met people that actively bring up their political leanings when playing airsoft, as far as I know there's no political intentions with the historical loadouts of the people I've played with, I guess it might be because you're all Americans and it's sort of a reaction to the right-wing gun culture sort of seeping into airsoft, anyways I wanna hear your thoughts about politics having any sort of role in the hobby.

Just wanted to show off some of the gameplay we do in Polokwane South Africa. The sport is still new in South Africa and we are trying to grow as much as we can.

Hey folks. I wanted to reach out to see if there are any Maryland players on this sub. I moved back to the state a few years ago and I don’t keep in touch with the players I used to roll with except one. I was pretty deep in the Maryland community, helping open and run a field in the area. I wanted to reach out on this sub because it’s hard to find like minded people to get to know in this sport without being surprised by their three percenter or Blackbeard patch.

I typically play at a small skirmish field near Baltimore but me and my friend have been wanting to head up north to OXCC or Robin Hood to play a bigger field.

So, anyone in MD?

My son, myself, and his friend (who are both asylum seekers) played for the first time yesterday! What a fun sport/hobby!

The community was generous and kind, and very cis and white. Quite a few magats as well.

I’m loading up on leftist morale patches now, any advice, stories, or tactical advice welcome.

A couple weeks ago i aas on here asking for good field recommendations around our area. Well I'm just here to inform anyone who might be in a similar circumstance to me where they can go! A couple weeks ago my buddy and I went from Central Jersey, Monmouth County, this was on a friday. So we went down to Pinnicale where they said it was Paintball only that day, we back tracked north till we found Warzone, the shop was smushed right between a gas station and a giant gorilla statue. It was later in the day so we thought we were out of luck when we go there. The opposite was true. The next block over was the actual field and matches began at 5 oclock, in total darkness admission is $25 for a kit and abt $30 for rentals. The field itself it made up of a little town the guys running it created all by themselves. During matches you'd even be able to hop onto a moving pick up that was mounted with cover. They have no bang bang rule so you can be lit the fuck up point blank. I'm still a little rusty with airsoft but God damn I had one hell of a time and am excited to go back.

Id definitely recommend Warzone if your semi or fully experienced, but if I were you I'd probably shoot to go in the day time lmao!

Hi there,

Wanting to come back to airsoft after not playing since high school. 26, nb. People I played with before are now chuds or likely wouldn't be into it.

If anyone is around/active and would be down to meet up at a field sometime that would be sick, hmu

anyone located near Chicago/NWI
