The guy's pistol (along with most airsoft pistols) relies on what's called a gas blowback system. Basically, the mags have reservoirs of compressed gas (usually propane) with valves to release it to cycle the action of the gun. It's good for realism since it functions similar to the real thing, if you can find a gas blowback that isn't too finicky.

[@g.nicholaschmielecki3193]

Speed of the bbs varies from 300fps to 500 fps depending on the field and model of the gun. Usually snipers are allowed bolt action at 500 fps and everyone else is set at 300 or 400. Guns can be spring powered (a piston), electronically powered (also a piston) or use HPA tanks/12 grams of co2/green gas as a propellant. I believe alfons uses hpa? But he has messed around with higher end electronic guns. The grenades vary. Some send bb's others just bang and its up to players to call themselves out. There are others that just explode and are made of soft foam. The stuff on the front of the guns are either decorative mock suppressors or tracer units, which us UV light flashes to cause special bb's to glow so you can trace your shots. Most people don't actively use their sights tbh. You can see bb's and just track your shots it's a lot of reflexive shooting and adjustment. Especially speed soft so cqb, its faster to just shoot. Mil sim and out doors you can and good players will use optics in many situations. I do for woods but never for speedsoft. Range is dependent on the weight of the bb (ranges from .2 to .5g typically) speed youre shooting at and the hop up setting. Hop up puts backspin on bbs so they get more loft. More distance less accurate. Its adjustable usually found in the breech of the gun.

[@Skylander404]

Airsoft guns are usually divided by their power source: electricity, gas, or springs. Electricity is most typically used for rapid fire like assault rifles, MGs, submachine guns, etc. Springs are more often used for things like bolt action sniper rifles. Gas is most often used for pistols or very expensive sniper rifles.

Although I do understand that air is a gas so technically it does fit into the gas category, but when you say gas in airsoft it usually means a compressed gas like propane or whatever gas combination is green gas.just adding this someone doesn't try to "your a dummy" me.

[@squishy2229]

A slightly better explanation from two months in the future: AEG: Motor actuated spring powered airsoft gun. Used primarily for replicas of autoloading weapons. HPA: compressed air powered airsoft gun. Used primarily for replicas of autoloading weapons. Spring: hand actuated spring powered airsoft gun. Used primarily for bolt action rifles. GBB: compressed gas powered airsoft gun. Typically uses CO2 or propane. Primarily used for pistols and some autoloading rifles.

@SAVAGE Actual Contact Milsim West. It's run by mostly veterans. Some of the cadres have been people like Michael Golumbesky (MARSOC JTAC) and Josh Warren (owner and prior Ranger). They do one of the only Milsim events that use blank fire and is continuous for roughly 40 hours. It'd be perfect for you guys. As far as other sponsorships, try Evike or Airsoft GI. I guarantee Evike will just make you do a shoutout at the beginning of your videos.

[@ericostler4171]

4 types of grenades, pyro that throw bbs like Alfonse uses, audio (technically a pyro that doesn’t have bbs) that have a 15m kill radius, co2 that use those mini canisters to throw the bbs, and electric that spin out 400ish bbs after they strike the ground. The electric are still pretty new and I think the company that makes them haven’t released them publicly yet.

In terms of rifles, the most popular kind are the AEGs, which are battery operated and fire on average 390-410 fps. You can also get sniper rifles which use springs and on average fire anywhere from 450-510 fps. The most popular kind of pistol is the GBB (Gas Blow-Back) which uses little CO2 cartridges or a built-in green-gas storage space to propel the slide to the rear to rack another round, to propel the round and also to make the pistol a little more realistic. Most often you'll find that these fire at 310-390 fps. Awesome video guys and hello from Canada, where airsoft is in the process of getting eliminated.

[@PikaBane]

Oh boy airsoft? Gotta hear this lmaoo

[@fruitcake11777]

To answer the questions about the weapons used. Both players were using custom built rifles powered by a gearbox run by a battery that shoots the projectile out using air from a piston. You can reach out and touch someone easily from 150feet, depending on the spin of the pellet, probably farther. The mags typically hold 120 rounds or more with the newer ones. There’s another type that runs on gas and those will give you some form of recoil. Those can run closer to firearms in round count and function. (Bolt locks back, need to chamber new round) I use this kind when I run and clear shoot houses with my squad for work. It’s a lot cheaper than simunitions... just kicks nowhere near as hard without modifications to the device. Bangers, some explode and throw projectiles everywhere, some are just loud, we even have some that use 12 gauge shotgun primers (need ear pro) Milsimwest and Evike would both be interested and probably more than willing to help you out. Good luck guys

[@liambuckingham9639]

The grenades are all different there are ones that just make noise and if you are in a room where one goes off you call out. He was using one that that exploded with bbs in the so you actually get hit by bbs

[@callsign_flatline]

The grenades specifically are super fun on a field that allows them. There are bangers, frags that use springs or C02 to shoot BBs, and then pyrotechnic frags that provide both worlds. Enola Gaye is a company that is responsible for most airsoft and paintball pyrotechnics in the US if you guys go looking for gear

The guns have motors in the grip, the lower receiver has a gearbox and the upper has a spring, piston and cylinder. Pulling the trigger activates the motor, the gearbox pulls the spring and piston back and then releases the piston forcing air through the cylinder forcing the bb out. The first video uses a high torque motor to help with range, the second video uses a high speed motor for fast rate of fire. There's a ton of different ways to set these things up for how you want the gun to behave.

The grenades are similar to what we'd call a 'thunderflash' in the UK. Sometimes called a a 'battle noise simulator'. Fraction of the power of an M80 (think that was the notorious firework in the US)...it's normally taken on honour that a 'bang' has a kill radius of 5-10m or kills everything in a room unless you're behind something solid. There are some grenades that contain gas and can be filled with BBs, gas discharge spits BBs and spins the thing around (Airsoft Innovations) The specific brand of bangs in this appears to be TaggIn (they also do 40mm UGL rounds for Airsoft). TLSFX of the UK also supply pyro state side when the alphabets aren't being a nuisance.

Alfonse is using a TM SCAR-H recoil shock. Simulates recoil, also requires that you hit the bolt catch or rack the bolt to continue firing. There are even other guns that use Green gas (mixture of Propane and Silicon Oil) that work the closest to real firearms. Though, like the Recoil Shock series, very expensive. The grenades he was using are pyrotechnic ones. There are some that function like flashbangs, the are others that explode and launch bbs all over the place (like TAGGIN grenades they even got M67 pyro grenades). There are also reusable grenades that use green gas an saturate an area with a shower of BBs also. All and all, it's super fun.

[@Lunumbrus]

The guns that go "zip-zip" are electrically-powered, where a motor runs a gearbox, which drives the primary air piston back against a spring, and releases the piston to propel the shot downrange. The guns that go "pop-pop", like the pistols, are powered by compressed gas in the magazine. Once the BB leaves the barrel, the change in backpressure flips a valve and directs the gas into the blowback mechanism, which cycles the gun.

Been a squaddie for 18 years and counting, just getting into Airsoft and it is a laugh if you go with the right attitude. Very little from “work” translates. Just because you know how to clear a room, doesn’t mean a thing when joe blogs stacking up behind you just wants to stand in the door spraying. If you wondering about the grenades have a look at tag innovation some sound like a 12G going off! Some flash and multi bang, some spray bbs everywhere and some places allow smoke grenades too.

[@johna.7235]

MORE AIRSOFT REACTIONS PLS

[@MenaCourtadeProductions]

Down pilot is an amazing scenario. basically everyone vs you and one sidearm and you have to make it to a exfil. It gets intense you guys would kill it.

[@TheGamingPrivate]

Yes watching the Jarheads roast the Larpers I’m in for a treat

[@SAVAGEActual]

Hahaha

[@SrAntonio301]

They don’t actually roast them. They understand it’s a game and it’s supposed to be a fun/hobby.

[@TheGamingPrivate]

@@SrAntonio301 I know I was messing around I play Airsoft myself I just don’t do Milsim

[@LordAsagard]

AEGs are Battery Operated and run a pneumatic piston that generates air pressure. GBBRs use Propane or Green Gas and have a functional bolt carrier group that also uses pneumatics. HPA is high Pressure

[@KJAY2THOUSAND]

Players like the kid at 22:43 is the reason I can’t get into airsoft.. petty arguments and shooting eachother over and over, more irritating than anything. I laughed when Jason said he hopes the one guy would smash him in the face🤣 my exact thoughts

[@grimshand579]

I used to be in a full fledge Milsim group. Veteran Ranger and some Veteran Army and such and a Marine. You just need to look for full tactical teams to have a more realistic tactical feeling. Some are overly lax and just chill and others are over the top serious events. Think in NC there is a Black Hawk Down event for Airsoft and such and there are teams who do full tactical events between two sponsored teams. I love playing it and would absolutely do it again. Was raised in a military family and couldn’t join after surgery even after contacting 26 recruiters trying to join. So this was a good way to get into that zone and be able to meet active or veteran personnel and get to learn and have fun.

[@Sol_Invictus777]

Definitely look up operatordrewski, he plays a lot of milsim west, with big field operations, that take up several days with hundreds of players, its a lot more tactical, and a lot more ex military are in it

[@HLL_pepper]

To answer some of your questions: the grenades are either just a co2 bang, but they also have ones that load with bb’s. And satchels, and trip mines that all throw about 300bbs in every direction. The ones that go bang are respected as frags too. Flash bangs generally aren’t allowed. There are special bazookas and vehicle events, mortars, rockets, and you should check out “gas blow back” rifles that use propane instead of batteries running a pump. Gives a nice little recoil similar to a small caliber rifle and sounds intimidating as hell.

[@HeadShot50xp]

“So he’s being fat?” “Ya look at his chubby arms” bruh y’all are literally watching Alfonse like WHAT 😂😂😂

[@HeadShot50xp]

All jokes aside I really enjoyed this video and subbed!

[@Fr0zenARMY]

ive played airsoft with a few veterans that use it as therapy for ptsd from their service, and alot of active duty guys as well. can definitly use the sport for practicing squad tactics

[@tapesidegaming7417]

react to: “milsim west: return to saratov” It is one hour long so you might have to do multiple parts but its fucking wild as fuck

[@tapesidegaming7417]

milsim events are as realistic as you can get. multi-day games where you sleep on field, eat mris, all that crazy ass shit. You can get your shit popped in the middle of a tent in the middle of the night and not even know

[@mikewickensjr6953]

I was there. I can indeed confirm that it was wild as fuck.

[@yuanxinwang8219]

reason why he was shooting with a pistol is that there usually a power limit for indoors, for example his kitted out scar that could shoot far as hell could probably go through clothes and skin this close, and his pistol is the only gun he had, and if you are wondering, the other guys probably didn't have a super high power rifle for sniping, hence those rifles are within the indoor limitations

[@agent1882]

You have to see Milsim West it’s just insane 💀

[@Spidouz]

6:50 Yes it shots BB, and depending how you adjust the power, with some Airsoft it can hurt at close range, that’s why on official battles they have to limit their weapon to a specific speed/force.

[@DarthWong07]

You guys should watch dutch the hooligan, very good player, smart and fun to watch

[@gongjin276]

It's been a few years since I played, but myself and a few guys from my unit used to travel the US playing tons of big events from different producers and it was a great time. You'll definitely see some cheesy stuff, but if you go there with a mentality of knowing what you want to get out of it you'll enjoy it. For us it was working together as a team in a dynamic environment, with a lot of people involved. You should find some really good videos of stuff from Blacksheep Milsim events. Blacksheep doesnt host events anymore because of a lot of drama at the time, but there are other really good event producers too. The guns usually in cqb are around 300-350fps and outdoor events are around 400+ fps. Event specific. I'll definitely say it's a major adrenaline boost regardless and generally a good time. I'd recommend looking at Evike or Airsoftgi to see if they would sponsor you for an event sometime. It's cool seeing airsoft becoming more accepted in the gun community. Cheers!

[@gavin1506]

Different countries have different rules for power for guns. UK uses mk5 thunder flashes. Also 8mm blanks, 209 primers and shotgun primers (only outside as they tend to break tiles). Loads of ex military do it, most airsofters just accept people and have fun. Most games I've gone to guys have singled out great shooters and said well done after the game. We all realise its a game, but we just like to have laughs. I play in a WW2 bunker that overlooks Portsmouth. Was used in D-DAY as a combined arms HQ. It's just great to see you guys itching to go play!

[@jemteebee556]

Milsim west Jump To Barda is coming up in late October in so cal. Hope to bump into you guys there.

[@evanerdmann]

In Texas there is a group of active duty Marines who run an airsoft team called Death Raiders Milsim and one of the Captains owns Realsim which is an airsoft event host. My small team will pair up with them at events b/c I am a Marine Corps OIF combat vet as well. In airsoft like video games you have different classes. (LMG, SMG, Rifleman…etc) You have different weight bbs which determine distance speed accuracy, and what type of Gun you buy. A good even to try is Overwatch Tactics (Veteran owned and operated by William Soto) Conquest of Avalon. Cool event to start off at. BRCC may sponsor you. Reach out to Novritsch he is an Austrian sniper who owns his own airsoft weapons/gear manufacturer and they are top notch. My entire team switched over to a bunch of his products.

[@jonlawrenz6586]

There's also the grenades that shoot out bbs.. and flash bangs. Even claymores.

[@playlifes26]

My team played airsoft with a platoon of marines from the base a few years back here in Japan. We actually dominated them but they were able to adapt to airsoft play and we got annihilated from time to time.

[@lydantriima8933]

There are a lot of ex military that play airsoft during MILSIM. They have have helo, Airsoft APCs, humvee's and even technicals. They have weekend and some times full week events

[@johndiaz3972]

Hopefully by now you lads are balls deep into the sport. As a fellow vet and former Grunt I can honestly say this is some fun Fuckery. I have no doubt you'll get hooked once you dive in.

[@Sean-gn8fr]

I'll give a brief run down on the mechanics, the whir sound you keep hearing is a motor, the air power comes from a piston that is driven by the motor; the guns that are strictly air powered are typically going to be "polar stars" which work a lot more like paintball guns (there's also a large tank attached that supplies the super-compressed air), but are still using a tapered piston to hit the bb and send air down the barrel (if I remember right).

[@chzbrgla]

@3:50 if it was like a green laser kinda thing .. those are tracer BBs. They get lit up before exiting the barrel and basically just do that.. glow green.

[@chzbrgla]

@13:08 those with the read hiviz vests on their head are dead, yes - 'death rags' mark players out of the game

[@silentkill119]

those nades he was using are the AFG 6 from tagiinn. They have dried peas inside that act as shrapnel

[@G19xray]

When you were talking about “seeing the bbs like they were animated software” that’s most likely a dude with a tracer unit slapped on his weapon and he’s using tracer rounds. They are pretty sick

[@AkSpider-007]

I was thinking he was either talking about the tracer unit or the hit markers.

[@SgtMac3208]

a few NG units actually train Airsoft, and yes even the kiddie games have the OCs, when I did it the difference was the dead got back up. It is a ton of fun, and you can find some seriously competitive players. guns are spring, electric, or gas powered. so have spare batteries, or spare air tanks.

[@MostAverage]

Video is made a while ago. The mechanics of an airsoft gun can be powered by batteries, CO2/Green Gas, or spring powered (depending on the Airsoft gun) Co2 and green gas are common for Airsoft pistols, you have cartridges that expend a bit of gas when you shoot. But like mentioned "If your air is crap, that would probably be bad". There are AEG's, which are battery powered. They have a weird gearbox sound when shot. The batteries can be recharged and they get put into the guns where ever they will fit. Then you have spring powered, pull the charging handle/pump/bolt and shoot (and repeat). I've never played airsoft, but hoping to get into it soon.

[@casualgamerboi3789]

I used to airsoft all the time when I was younger, some of the most fun I've had

[@D20shortz]

lionclaw, american milsim, milsim west.. all high level airsoft games. you pay for the integrity and the enviroment you operate in.. was a huge awesome experience when i played. still have all my gear but funding is hard to come buy when you pick up racing. haha.

[@faceless8708]

you can get bb grenades which literally just throw bbs everywhere, smokes which as you could probably tell what they do and bangers/distraction devices which just make a loud bang (not too loud as they are for civilian use) and the best distraction device you could buy if they’re in stock is the trmr maritime grenade

[@kbar11]

Some mock suppressors in airsoft can actually be used to hold a tracer unit for tracer bbs as well as hide a longer inner barrel while giving the gun a certain look

[@Southernswag8283]

Suppressors are most likely Tracer units. They hold a mechanism that lights up BB’s as they pass through the barrel and allows the tracer BB’s to be fully lit in the dark to see where your shooting without aiming. There are some people who use suppressors just for looks though.
