To the new airsofters:
Dont worry about the gun you dont have, you can rent. Rentals typically depend. I normally see a rental gun for $10, but depends on the individual. Many airsofters see a value in having a few extra spair guns to rent out, as there is no true offical "renter." The typical rule is, you break you buy. I typically make sure there is any understanding between us, if there is a break in the gun.
You brought a Spinger of any sort..... It is not to be your primary weapon. Rent a gun. It may be your secondary, it is laughable...accepted. You gain reputation points for a pistol kill...even more for a spinger pistol kill.
Do not wear solid of one color, including black. Earth tones are prefered. BDU's are a must have, but not required to play.
You dont have eye protection acceptable by the field you play on, you dont play. This rule is not to be mestaken by face protection, thats optional in mostly all fields in US.
If you ever even for a moment, forget about the wellbeing of the person you are shooting at, you are wrong. Identify your target, and identify your ability to shake his hand at the end of the day.
If you are on the field, you have a bright orange dead rag in your pocket (possibly new rule i was thinking of...?) ready to be placed ontop of your head to signify you are infact...shot. Nightgames, Glowstick red in color.
If you do not have water in close proximity of your location, you are wrong.
If you are a wimp, call game off, and are not dying due to unforseen events. You are wrong. Good evac reasons are arterial bleeding, snake bite, bone fractures, unable to move under own weight, visability of an active flame on ground (not smoke), or the discovery of someone unconcious. Bad Evac reasons are gun malfunctions, wimplike nature, not-good to go, rain, game play violations. Either way, you call game off before game truely is to be off, your a wimp. Freaking noobs....
You need BBs. If you rent a gun, and put .12's in the rental gun... you are wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can tell the weight by looking at the can/bag. You also need a method of carrying BBs, and optional...magazines. Sometimes you'll get lucky and find a rare-individual willing to rent tacticool vests.
You only brought a gass pistol? No big deal. You better be prepaired to be sneaky tho. Because pistols are generally used when on in extreamly close proximity of another target.
Dwayne, Jon, etc. etc..."
Ricoshets are not conidered hits. However, just because a bb pierced through a tree, or brush...doesnt mean its a ricoshet. Your hit, noob.
You see someone who looks sorta ill-equipped... sometimes its for a purpose... keep your eye on him.
You shoot cars, you are wrong.
You dont call hits, you are wrong.
If you are talking while dead, you are wrong. You are often shot, regardless of deadrag to ensure you are dead. Normally this happeneds when your caught giving tactical information. Its ok'ish to have small talk among other deadguys, but at a very low volume, but please....while there is action around you, its good sportsmanship to not say anything at all. The excuse to this rule is calling for a medic.
You lay false claim to being part of a military or law enforcement branch, you a wrong. Mucho respect is delivered to the military and law enforcement around here.
You forget your honor that day, you are wrong.
You lay a physical hand on anybody, you are wrong.
You treat anybody with disrespect, you are wrong. Ignore them if you dont likem.
A good rule of thumb is to never forget to bring somesort of bugspray.
While learning to airsoft, most individuals consistantly wonder how cool they look. This is an advanced technique: looking cool. Honestly, as a noob the only way you look cool, is in my ironsights. Stop wearing black. Learn to blend.
When somebody says/signals/commands/motions/radios "Go that way" or a derivitive thereof. IE: Push forward, shoot guns, bang bang, attack! That means: Go forward, shoot bad guys, use the $300+ weapon your parents bought you.
Wrong: Step forward 3 paces, crouch and look around and pretend your still looking cool. If you do this, people will begin to wonder if you speak much english.
Its better to do the international signal of "FU" or shrug in an "I dunno" stance, shaking your head if you Dont know what somebody is trying to tell you to do, that attempt something off the cuff. If your doing the Idunno signal correct, you will look like a guy doing the "Y" in the YMCA song, shaking his head. The FU signal is executed by fully extending your middle finger, and by control: keeping the other 4 rings flexed only half extended. The Nickname for he FU signal is <censored>. lol. jk.
You see somebody raise a solid fist real quick. Stop what your doing and freeze. Dont confuse this signal with Crouch real fast, look around, and play with your tacticool vest.
You see somebody raise a hand, and it looks like the intention is to tell you to stop. Umm..stop. Feel free to look around and try to acquire targets, and crouch. For got sakes, stop playing with your tactical vest. Its still there, I promise.
Know who owns the property your playing on. Suck up to him at all costs.
Call your hits. Any BB contact that is not ricoshet that touches you or your equipment, constitutes a kill. Put your deadrag on your head, and stand still. You talk, I'll shoot you again. (gun hits do not count)
Thou shalt bring brightly colored deadrag onto the field. (thinking of this new rule.)
There are classes of airsofters. Assault, Snipers, Flankers, Spec-Ops, etc etc.... A Noob is a class. Regardless of gear, video game eperience, etc, There is no such thing as a Hybrid Noob-Sniper. Period. Dont try it.
Carry a pistol. Always. Nuff said.
I wouldnt be as hardcore to say you have to carry a first aid kit on your person, but atleast have one in your POV (personal something vehicle). Or know someone who has a first aid kit. Suck up to them.
Engage...often.
Tactical Reloads are like the creampuff of the magazine. After slaying bodies..you know.."Tap tap...tap tap."..eject that old source mag, and speedy reload that new source mag..and start slaying bodies again. Now because you werent completely dry in the old source, you can save those last few rounds for slaying bodies for later.
Thou shalt always pwn thy targets...however, always be able to shake his hand after the game.
Do not worship me, or other people who have been playing this game for a while. We were noobs once, and often still feel that way.
Thou shalt not conversate on the radio. Regardless of what you think, in airsoft: your life is never in danger. There is no reason whatsoever you should be frantic on the radio. Talk to me while your safe behind cover, use a calm voice, and use your head in order to tell me your transmition. If you tell me "They are over there." I will friendly fire you later, and blame if on your camo looking like the opfors.
Friendly fire isnt.
Smoke grenades are really cool. Dont use them indoors tho(CQB fields) unless field owner says its cool. But please use trigger control. While your being smoked out, your often blind. It is illegal in airsoft to blind fire, that includes smoke. If you cant see what your shooting, it is illegal to shoot.
Its rare for a lady to show up on an airsoft field. Nothing is hotter. Be carefull of what lady you speak with: If you think thats her dad, you may be wrong. Use a tactical approtch to discovering martial status.
