Apparently this is the popular thing now. Dress up, role play, using airsoft, smoke grenades, pyrotechnics, blanks, and the games last days

Better this than video games. It's an active team activity that is probably safer than ball sports.

http://milsimwest.com This guy goes to the events and has a youtube channel that shows some of the stuff, it looks pretty fuckin cool tbh. Check out the videos on platoons at MSW and the red divide event. link I'm a WA resident so when I have enough disposable money for a decent Airsoft gun, gear and a ticket, I'll drive on down. |

We did the same in paintball. I played for a local team in Woodsball. We travelled and played large games with over 200 people. Went to one that was WW2 oriented. The even had old war planes fly over.
We had another one that was Moonshiners vs. ATF. Actual ATF and law enforcement played in their side. It was a great game. We travelled out to another location and sponsored a game based on Serenity(Firefly) We were the Reavers and played the first half of the game with no guns. Just nerf knives.  You would be surprised at how many kills I managed to get with a nerf knife. I scared the crap out of quite a few people.
At our local field we represented, we would often ref and sponsor kids events. Teach them tactics and teamwork. |

My first reaction is that this is just gay.
Then I remind myself that transsexual child predators are reading stories to children in public schools about how awesome being a tranny is, and 10 year-old boy "drag queens" are dancing for money in front of grown men in major cities to the applaud of our media and cultural elite, because "it's like, totally normal, everyone." Then I realize, MILSIM LARPing isn't so bad. There are worse things out there. But they do need to scrub shitters, mop floors, paint rocks, and other fun stuff for full effect. |

I'm actually in a lot of the milsim West and the red divide videos, I go with oxide and my wife and we've been playing for years now.
Those that say it's "basement dwellers playing dressup" don't really know what this sport entails. Sure most of us are larping and basically playing dressup, pretend military but certainly, not basement dwellers. If you're not fit and well prepared for these games, they will eat you up. You have to be able to maintain yourself for 50+ hours in non stop play and be able to ruck all your gear, everything you need to sleep, wear and maintain yourself for miles at a time at a moment's notice even in the dead of night if the enemy takes over your positions. It's not some typically bb game that your average 13 year old kid goes to. It's nice being able to take my different firearms and compare them to others in continuous play, and see what guns and gear I really like over others when I'm running around various environments, in rain or sunshine, hot or cold, and having people shooting at you, people screaming at everyone trying to make the best decisions to control specific objects, trying to maintain situational awareness at all times and seeing how everything pans out. Kinda gives you a different perspective than just shooting at targets on controlled ranges. |

I would love to try it. Some of the scenario games that Swapsniper ( the guy that did the grozny insurgency video) puts on at his field look fun too.
Looks like a great way to cut loose, and blow off some steam. I would probably spend a lot of time as a casualty, or running a contraband market selling dip and energy drinks out of a plate carrier with no plates and mag pouches with no ammo.

Do these adults playing children's games also have to go through a simulated Boot Camp to make it that much more realistic, too? That part would be fun to watch, just to see how many "game" players drop out of "simulated" Boot Camp before they ever get issued their airsoft "guns."
