Paintball vs. Paintball

134
I decided to write this article in order to solve the eternal dispute between strikers and painters. The second goal of the article is to help people who want to determine for themselves what they are most interested in. I’ll warn you right now that I’m a fan of paintball, so I’ve taken a strike about materials from specialized sites and from stories of friends who are addicted to it. I hope true strikers will complement me in the comments.

So, let's begin.

History airsoft started at 1945 in Japan. After the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Japanese were forced to sign the act of unconditional surrender. In one of the points of the Act it was stated that they do not have the right to maintain their own armed forces and to conduct exercises using combat weapons. But the Japanese people are cunning, they have come up with a way out of the situation. Copies of real weapons were made that repeated the exact assembly / disassembly scheme, the rate of fire and other performance characteristics of real weapons. The only difference is that the copies were shot with plastic balls with a diameter of 6 mm. Naturally, these models went for free sale. Thus, in different countries, these games have gained popularity under various names, for example, air soft b hardball. In Japan, the popularity of air soft came at the beginning of 80's, the strike in Russia came in 97 year. This is roughly the story of the strike.



Airsoft Rules

1. Age of participants - at least 18 years old

2. Mental balance (If a person shows signs of mental imbalance and is able to prevent others from getting positive emotions from the game, then the team, as a rule, quickly parted with such a fighter. It must be remembered that the responsibility for the behavior of a fighter lies not only on him, but also on the team, and therefore refrain from any manifestations of aggressiveness and inadequacy ...)

3. Use only airsoft guns that are allowed in this game (This is a very important requirement. Small arms specified in the rules must shoot industrially manufactured 6 mm caliber balls weighing from 0,12 to 0,43 grams (8 mm caliber weapons are also allowed, but rarely used). Weapons that were not originally designed to fire 6- or 8-mm balls are prohibited in airsoft. limited - both by the requirements of the Law of the Russian Federation "On Weapons" (a pneumatic toy with a muzzle energy of no more than 3 joules is not considered a weapon), and by the requirements of the Rules, separately for each type of weapon: pistols, pump-action shotguns, automatic weapons of small, medium and large sizes, machine guns, single-shot sniper rifles.)

In this part of the rules of the Association and the rules of the SC contain various restrictions listed in the table:

Type airsoft weapons Restriction according to the rules of the Association (caliber 6 mm), m / s Restriction according to the rules of the SK (caliber 6 mm), m / s
Pistols, revolvers 110 120
Pump Guns 120 120
Small automatic weapon 120 160
Medium weapon 130 160
Automatic long-barreled weapon 140 160
Machine guns 150 160
Sniper rifles (not designed for automatic fire) 172 200


4. The speed is measured when shooting a ball weighing 0,2 grams.

5. When playing at objects that involve shooting at short distances (buildings), a weapon with a ball launch speed of not more than 120 m / s is used (this rule is the same for the Association and the SC).

6. There are also serious limitations for airsoft pyrotechnics made on the basis of firecrackers (grenades, mines, amplification charges): the firecracker should not be more powerful than the well-known and available in stores firecrackers "Korsar-6". All these restrictions are designed to reduce the pain and traumatic effect of hitting balls and explosions of firecrackers, to maintain the health and good mood of the players. However, even weapons that comply with the restrictions must be used wisely.

7. Mandatory eye protection that can withstand airsoft ammunition (The biggest risk when playing airsoft is the risk of ammunition or projectile getting into the eye. The speed of airsoft fireballs and projectiles is usually not fast enough to cause wounds and injuries to the body, but high enough to cause serious injury to the eye. In order to minimize this risk, each player must wear throughout the game goggles or mask that completely covers the eyes and can withstand point-blank range from the most powerful airsoft guns allowed.Remove goggles or mask only in the non-playing area.If you need to temporarily remove the goggles in order to wipe them, you must ensure your own safety - turn away, bend over to the ground, cover yourself with your hand, weapon or piece of equipment.In general, take care of your eyes!)

8. The use of military-style equipment and equipment uniform for all members of the team (This requirement applies to any trips of the team to game events where representatives of other teams participate. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that the player is identified by opposing fighters and allies by appearance. It is forbidden to play in civilian clothes. It is forbidden to use the uniform used before 1953 and the uniform of the "soldiers of the future".)

9. Readiness to strictly follow the rules of the game (The broadest requirement, which implies, firstly, a solid knowledge of the rules and the game scenario, and secondly, the desire to honestly fulfill the task assigned to the team.)



Airsoft Ethics

It is impossible to describe all subjects of disputes and disagreements on airsoft game. Almost any scenario involves a lot of options for teams, and players are constantly in non-standard positions. Nevertheless, over the years of the game, experienced fighters have developed a special code of conduct, partially regulated by rules, which should be known and guided by them in a disputable situation. Here are its main elements:

Accurate use of weapons

It is necessary to take into account the pain and possible injuries caused by a person hitting a ball or a grenade explosion. In the end, your target has only the role of such - the enemy, but in life it is your colleague, a good guy or girl, whose health you would be pleased to take care of. Hence the following requirements:

1. Do not exceed the speed limit of the ball! Of course, you want to shoot harder and further, but think about what it will be like for the person you hit!

2. Don't fire powerful weapons at close range! Don't shoot any weapon point-blank! If your main weapon is powerful, use a spare weapon (with a speed of no more than 120 m / s) or a pistol worn with you to play in the building. If the firefight takes place in an open area, and you have a powerful weapon, be very careful and, if possible, avoid hitting a person from a short distance with a ball. For example, snipers are strongly discouraged from shooting from a distance of less than 20-30 meters. If you get close to the enemy at close range, and he does not see you, tell him something like "boom, you are killed." As a last resort, shoot him in the boot.

3. Do not shoot in the head! If possible, refrain from firing on exposed parts of the body, especially on the head. If you accidentally hit the head from a short distance - sorry, if necessary, offer help!

4. Do not shoot in the residential camp and non-play area! In a residential camp, the weapon must be unloaded (with the magazine unfastened) and on the fuse. The same requirement applies to the formation before the game and after the game. Weapons with an empty magazine attached may only be used in the residential camp for photography purposes. Shooting weapons is allowed only in a specially designated area, making sure that there is no one in the sector of fire.
In the game, immediately after you are amazed, you should unfasten the shop and shoot the remaining ball in the barrel into the ground or into the air. In deadman should be with discharged weapons. Shooting in the vicinity of the ghostworm is prohibited.

5. Don't shoot non-combatants! There may be non-combatants in the game area - people who are not participating in hostilities. These are photographers, videographers, service personnel, etc. All of them must have elements of equipment (jackets, hats) in red. Shooting at them is prohibited. Also, you can not shoot at the affected players (they are also indicated by a red armband). In addition, people who are not related to the game can enter the territory - fishermen, mushroom pickers, etc. They should be politely carried out outside the playing area, if necessary, stopping the game for a while.

6. Do not shoot at animals, non-combat vehicles, other people's property, flying objects! Don't throw grenades at the boats!



Rules for the "dead"

1. Amazed - go away! Any hit of the ball on the player's body or equipment (clothing, unloading, backpack, etc.) is considered a defeat. Ricochet and weapon hits do not count. Friendly fire counts as enemy fire. Defeat by a grenade explosion is counted if one of the elements of its filling hit you or if the grenade exploded no more than a meter away from you. Defeat usually generates the most controversy. Nobody wants to “die”, and some players tend to hide or not admit the fact that the ball hit them. This introduces a destructive element into the game and spoils the mood of the enemy fighters. In addition, the deliberate "unconscious" puts a bad stigma on both the player and the team. In some communities, an unknowing player may even try to “cure” him in some unpleasant way: for example, by giving him a few bursts of a dozen guns in his head ... Airsoft is a game of honesty. If it seemed to you that you were hit (characteristic sound, ball impact), you need to get up, mark yourself as struck and go to the dead house. If you didn’t notice the hit, and the enemy confidently claims that he hit (this happens, especially if you are on the move), you don’t need to argue - you should politely and sincerely apologize, convincingly say that you didn’t notice the hit, and go to the dead. To designate oneself as struck means to put on oneself (on the head, neck) or on the weapon a bandage of red color, clearly distinguishable by other players. A red lantern is put on at night. According to the rules of the UK, a red light can be used during the day.

2. Do not report or give anything to the living! A stricken fighter should not give away the location of the enemy by word, gesture, or look, should not pass through enemy positions and engage in any kind of reconnaissance. Radio communication and any communication with the "dead" is prohibited. Transfer of weapons, ammunition, etc. affected players alive are prohibited. The affected player may, by prior arrangement, leave weapons or equipment at the place of "death" for members of his team or allies.

3. Do not interfere with the living! Leave the battlefield as quickly as possible. If an intense fight is going on above you, mark yourself as struck and lie down until the end of the active firefight, raising the unloaded weapon with the barrel up. Keep in mind that live players are not allowed to use injured players as cover, so behave in a way that does not provoke the living to such a violation.



General game rules

1. Don't hide behind the dead! Do not position yourself so that there are injured players between you and the target, or in close proximity to you, or behind you. During the shootout, do not approach the mortuary.

2. Don't argue! All disputes are resolved only outside the game or with the help of an intermediary, if any.

3. Be polite! It is unacceptable to insult other players with words, gestures or the use of force during the game! There is no need to "get used to the role" so much as to shout insults at a conditional adversary, who, having also "get used to the role", can take them personally.

4. Don't forget about mutual help! In the event of an emergency situation (fire, accident, etc.), immediately help people in trouble!

5. Alcohol and drugs are illegal! Drinking in a friendly airsoft company before the game or during the game is unacceptable. You should not count on your inflexible health and drink in the evening of the day preceding the start of the game. Any fighter who is intoxicated or intoxicated is not allowed to play.

6. Puncture of a fighter - puncture of the team. Individual fighters may be publicly ejected from the game for violating the rules. However, the team is also responsible for the actions of each of its fighters. In case of detection of serious violations, the team may be excluded from the airsoft community and denied access to big games.



Well, let's start about paintball

Paintball history

The history of paintball is shrouded in legends. Some argue that paintball was born in the 70-ies of the XX century in the depths of the CIA, others - attribute the invention to the Mossad. Still others believe that paintball was invented for the psychological relief of Vietnam veterans and for training fighters of the French Foreign Legion.

XIX century: the birth of colorful weapons

Even more ancient legends refer us to the 1878 year, when the first guns firing paint were used in France to train troops. Impact detachments of colonial expeditions in Senegal, Algeria, and Siam conducted training sessions on fighting partisans and effectively stripping villages with the help of training paintballs. Subsequently, the soldiers trained in this way showed themselves perfectly in real combat situations: during the Algerian 1879 campaign, not a single person was killed or only two were injured. This method of training soldiers could also be used by Russia: the military attache of the Russian empire in France as an observer attended the 1881 training of the year, where the successes of soldiers trained in firing using krakomets were demonstrated. And even 4 equipment was delivered to Russia (this effort was made, in particular, by the second cousin of the famous writer, the captain of the Life Guards Tolstoy). But these efforts were in vain - perhaps because of the excessive conservatism of the Russian army leadership. However, in France itself in 1889, the preparation program using kraskomets was closed.

Hitler's army and its markers

In 1937, the idea of ​​the French attracted the leadership of the general staff of the German troops, and as an experiment, an order was made to make samples of paintbrushes. A group of engineers led by Zimmerman was engaged in the development of a new type of training weapon, and the production of paintballs, which became known as "Saxon guns", was carried out at the plant in Grossstimig. As a result, a more perfect model was born, a practically exact similarity to the modern marker. Known is the fact that, thanks to the training of Wehrmacht soldiers using Saxon rifles in May 1940, a group of less than 100 gunners forced the entire garrison of French XbNUMX people to surrender after the 30-hour battle! Interestingly, the story again gave Russia a chance to start using paintballs in training Soviet army soldiers: after the surrender of fascist Germany, the military archives with the materials developed by the Saxon guns came to the USSR. The plant itself was dismantled and also sent to the Soviet Union as reparations. But it is clear that it was not destined to correctly dispose of useful technologies ... ...

These are legends. In fact...

The most common version, according to which paintball has become as it is at present, refers to North America. In 80's, in one of the states, the cowboy company, after laboring exploits for the benefit of American agriculture (and maybe instead of exploits), decided to play along with the paintmen they tagged cows and horses. By the way, hardworking Canadian lumberjacks also claim to be the fathers of paintball - they used paintballs to mark trees. As a result, it seems that the fun of the event participants was to “shoot at the tribesman without the risk of being behind bars”.

Paintball is divided into tactical and sports. Tactical paintball is a bit like a strikeball game. The rules and plots of games are also about the same. Sports paintball takes place on the court equal to the size of the hockey box. Where are the inflatable figures. Coverage area is a natural or artificial lawn, in Russia often use linoleum. There are several varieties.

1. Classic paintball. Two teams of 5 to 5 people. Game duration is 5 minutes. The goal is to mark all opponents, or to bring the flag from the opponent's base to your territory. I will describe the rules below.

2. X-bol. 3 periods of 25 minutes. The marked player leaves the field for 2 minutes to wipe the marker, replenish the balls and air. After 2 minutes, he steps into play from his base. The goal is to bring the flag from the center of the field to your base as many times as possible.

There are also purely American varieties like 10 on 10 before the complete defeat of the team, but in Russia it did not stick.



Sports Paintball Rules

These are international league rules, so reading them is boring and time consuming. Who cares, can find them on this link. http://paintball38.ru/pravila-sportivnogo-pejntbola.html.

In general, what I wrote this article. Recently there was a publication about our youth that they have no goals, that they are lazy. In the discussions we touched on the topic of paintball and airsoft. The only thing is that everything there has slipped again on how much the equipment costs. Many, for sure, perceived it as a flood. In this article, I hope, officially remove all questions and try to interest young people.

          Than? So sluggishly running through the forest? Try it yourself on the platform under a stream of 30-40 balls per second. You yourself try to run like this during 3 periuds for 25 minutes. http://vk.com/video-23626916_159033301. Moreover, our balls weigh almost 3 grams and fly 98 m / s. This is not an 0,35 gram. For comparison, 12 cells fly at a speed of 160 m / s. laughing

Yes, we work with the military registration and enlistment office, they willingly hire young people: tactics, they know how to use equipment, maps, a compass. and painters ... we mostly have corporate beerglots. 5 minutes of shooting-30 beer-kebabs.py.sy.and yes, in my opinion it is stupid to measure up with pussies, who has more balls. laughing

              A couple of times I went on strike, for those who did not serve and did not shoot, I think it’s interesting, but I didn’t really like the only plus, communication with the guys! Young people to learn tactics are well suited if they are taught correctly, otherwise they will be tormented in parts to retrain, which will certainly be accompanied by lyuli laughing

              Bazaar clearly! Yes, paintball equipment is simpler and cheaper, and the requirements for people are simpler. As one of my acquaintances, a young lady who I like to insult with a phrase, said that you don’t understand the homemade guy))) Airsoft is supposedly for those nerds who either didn’t take the army or are not allowed to return there))) Yes, and the paintball will be more massive simply because of its greater simplicity and availability.

                  1 Price drive marker
                  Here, about the same basic approx. 10k and then how conscience to plunder the family budget allows.
                  2 equipment.
                  Here the airball confidently goes forward. I myself didn’t be a shellbreaker (unfortunately this fact has a place to be) spent about 30K on equipment as a winter field protective
                  3 Radio communication
                  Here the price is the same ok 5k for a good dual-band.
                  4 Ammunition Cost
                  Here airsoft is clearly cheaper than a package of balls 500-600 r in a package of up to 5000 thousand
                  Other perversions of Pribluda aka NVD I do not take thermal imagers because there is no topic

                  Next game
                  In a strike, these are usually forests with sizes from 1 km2 to large army training grounds.
                  There are also games on buildings and those built around them. But this is rather a rarity because buildings loot the local population.
                  Average games from 100 to 2000 thousand people.
                  Scenarios a bunch of species starting stupidly dumping wall to wall for some point ending in a full-fledged operation of the company level battalion. If the orgies are not stupid and have connections, then there will be another 100500 types of equipment.
                  I note on my own like working in buildings and a night fight.
                  If you take a military applied orientation, what can you get from airsoft
                  1 The correct motor skills of the body with weapons
                  2 Tactical skills when working properly there is a ready-made KomOT for reconnaissance
                  3 Survival skills in difficult conditions

                  On paintball, I think the mechanic will tell you better

      Did you know that concepts like shooting, killing, weapons are forbidden in paintball? This is done so as not to cause aggression. And they are replaced by the concepts of cast, marked (or marked) marker. So paintball is a good training for conducting actions in a limited space, but it is not a melitarized game.

    the article is not about anything .. but about the fact that airsoft is cooler, it’s kind of like a real weapon - it sucks airsoft for 3 years already and against tactical paintball, which isn’t talked about

    because in tactical paintball, as in airsoft, weapons similar to combat are used, of the same mass, with the same amount of ammunition (on expensive markers, balls are supplied from the store, in turn, each ball is crammed into a "sleeve", which flies off when shooting) - but unlike airsoft, you can immediately see that you hit. There are special sniper paintball rifles with special balls (they look like a shuttlecock).

    plus various grenades (domestic samples are generally tin - you can set up a signaling during a campaign, a thief has a heart attack - http://taginn.com/product/38-r2b.html), mines, etc. Up to grenade launchers, including under-barrel, coaxial machine guns (2-4 markers in a bunch, but control is carried out with one trigger), etc.

    plus, in time with paintball, the rule applies - all ammunition from the corpse is removed and taken by their own if nearby, or by a killer, it is not for nothing that there is a "donkey" in each team, which carries the main stocks of ammunition, and his team guards very seriously, also when a hit in the limbs is called a medic, if after a certain time the medic does not come to the rescue - the player is killed, etc.

    in full gear, for example, I didn’t notice in the airsoft corny that they hit me :)

    It’s not for nothing that the siloviki handle melee precisely with paintball equipment, because you can immediately see where they got, and most importantly who got (the teams have different color balls)

        So our security forces in the region played against athletes, according to the rules of sports paintball - and by themselves blew - because they were not used to pouring the entire feeder in the first minute of the battle, then another one. And then if you need one more :) Moreover, a sports marker, it’s like a machine gun, it trivially fills everything around.

        But when the athletes were limited to 50 balls, they blew, moreover, with a bang. They also blew when the restriction on balls was lifted, but the fight went on in an abandoned multi-storey building, there wasn’t even a fight there — but the massacre, then the men had to apologize to the athletes, otherwise they almost broke their ribs — they met in the doorway, well, the silovik out of habit, and kicked the athlete in the stomach, because shooting was not convenient :)

          I have Autococker for such cases. And he brought him from Canada from the competition. The machine is extremely accurate and quite economical. For the 8 year I have been playing striker (coil). I bought myself Harnes on 3 tubes. And think enough for such hassles. For competitions I take either the old angel 2 or the shocker 7. Both cars are not bad. But even then, in 25 minutes, the 10-15 tube leaves. And if in defense they sit there they wear as many as 2 Harnes on 9 tub (tortoise) for 5 minutes in sport. But with the Incas they generally played tipmanomi and with only one feeder per game (and there was one without feed). The funniest thing was that I managed to go one unit and put a couple of balls at a fighter at point blank range, but he did not see me stupidly behind the shadows.

      comment about anything. salmon tuna. he has something similar in tactical paintball. In the basic version of the strike, everything is initially similar. If you want the real capacity of the stores, no one forbids you to throw 30 balls into a mecha instead of 100 or just buy mecha for 30 balls. Do you want to surprise with special sniper rifles? Grenades? In the strike there are mortars, grenade launchers (and underbarrel also), miniguns, a flamethrower and a gun, homegrown armored cars with turrets were noted several times.

        What is the wrong range? The battle rarely goes at distances farther than 50-60 meters (of course, it can be further, but this is more just a harassing fire, rather than aimed shooting). the airsoft drive shoots the same distance (well, the tyunny truth). This is not the Second World War when the hellish crowd of pearl under cover of tanks through the field through the field. As for the stores, as a rule, any scenario involves recharging only in the undead or at the bases, they may stick a restriction on the type of stores (now it’s not uncommon) and on wearable ammunition (or even limit it to 300 balls for the whole many hours of play)

    In my opinion, both hobbies complement each other in many ways, although it is almost impossible to combine them.
    Paintball is more dynamic, while airsoft players are sometimes overly keen on reconstruction.
    As for the use of paintball for training fighters in the army, there is a double-edged sword. Yes, skills are developed to defeat the enemy at short distances, self-confidence, field vision, tactical coherence in teams. But there are other distances in military affairs, the forms of opposition are much more diverse, the role of camouflage and orientation is of a completely different order, and much more. Therefore, paintball and airsoft skills in their pure form in real combat can serve an unkind service. As one of the elements of training a fighter, they are certainly useful.

    Airsoft and paintball are games, and there is only one difference in them - the ability to visually observe the shooting result. Now an entire industry of the game has been created, weapons, ammunition, ammunition - for every taste. Entire weapons tuning workshops. Who plays, knows what it means to enter the store and see 50-70 samples of weapons from pistols to machine guns and grenade launchers. Apart from the rest.
    My friend tunes weapons himself, increases the speed of the balls, hangs additional equipment. He even paints under camouflage and sews special covers. And the form itself is being finalized.
    I will leave the benefits of games and interest outside the brackets - this is for an amateur. I myself only have a positive attitude to games, wonderful leisure, here and adrenaline and "war" and nature and the obligatory feast after the game. In a word, it's fun.
    Now about the practical side. Since the 90s, we used pneumatic weapons, specifically the MP-654, a copy of the PM, for training in shooting. The flight speed of an iron ball of 4,5 mm caliber was adjusted to 180 m / s. Beat this trunk so that on 15-20 meters balls lay in dozens of targets.
    Such weapons were used for initial training in weapons and shooting. A distance of 10-20 meters is the most common for short-barreled weapons. But the main thing is training exercises with shooting at each other. Of course, protective clothing was required. They experimentally picked up uniforms, masks, gloves that protected the body from bullets, did not allow injuring it, and did not hamper the actions of the students. The effect of getting the ball into the body was as follows - rather sensitive pain and bruise on the body. It was very good - the effect of a real hit helped to understand what a battle was. There were microtraumas and discomfort, but the training accelerated.
    I repeat once again - this is real training, not a game or pleasure. So no one complained, on the contrary, they worked with full dedication. They lost 1-2 kg of weight in the lesson, and the ammunition was soaked through with sweat. Such training helped to gain experience in transient firing contacts at short distances, the ability to instantly bring weapons to battle, maneuver, and quickly leave for cover. And of course hitting real, not paper "targets".
    Until now, we believe that this kind of "hardcore" is best suited for practical training, better than using airball or paintball weapons. But again, I'll repeat - only for those who really train, not play.

    In our country, the siloviki train precisely by playing paintball, while they allow the owner of the equipment to train (they provide it for free, they take balls at cost) and no one else, even the attendants are not present.

    Handle melee, hostage release, etc. For it is convenient to watch, hit zones, etc., since the balls of each group can have different colors. Ballistics of a ball at a distance of 10-15 meters are pretty normal, and you can’t meet more distances, for example, in a house.

    For example, in the very first trainings, a hit in the back was recorded several times, but in a real battle it would be a bullet. They have simple exercises for the security forces - nakosyachil - strength exercises, so that all errors of this kind are quickly driven in :)

    For the mind, of course, it’s better to use laser tags for training, but those samples that I saw are just horror (I mean our domestic developments), because the poor soldiers are hung with giant sensors, and looks like an alien in them :)

      This is out of mind. This is the worst advice. The laser tag dampens and makes you relax. I saw how laser taggers merged at competitions using airsoft drives because only the sensors got used to not firing, because the whole fillet part sticks out from behind the tree, the head on which the sensors were previously hidden.

    The author forgot to point out that in airsoft, a speed of 120 m / s is nothing. The Chinese, already in the factory base, issue 180-190 m / s. Yes, and photos could have been more decently inserted, otherwise some commercial "Pokemon" in ridiculous raincoats and sneakers.

      It’s just these are the rules of association, with great desire and with the availability of opportunities (money and direct hands), you can do it for 200-220 m / s, but getting a gift from a similar drive in your face is not like hunting ...

Especially today I climbed onto the sites of airsoft guns and once again made sure that you are right. Those restrictions that you gave in the table in the article are relevant. I criticized Drosselmeyer with its 180 m / s, you see 120 m / s nioc. Oh well! Come on then, the initial speed of 900 m / s, Th there too trifle. I mean, a lot of things are blinded at a factory in China, but only what complies with generally accepted standards is allowed to compete. And the fact that you can buy and shoot a cannon with an exhaust of 220 m / s, so who argues. I talked about the competition.

    Guys, in general, the speed of departure of ammunition is not a very good indicator, because with large values ​​you can cause serious injuries, including those that are not compatible with life. No need to turn the game into hardcore hardcore, because it is not very reasonable.

    But the security forces do not play naked in paintball training to feel more pain. And do not play by the fact that:

    - the bullet is still more painful
    - various injuries because they will be left sideways, if for example on the next day they will be sent on a mission

    Moreover, even in ordinary paintball, if you get into soft tissues from a couple of meters, it will hurt and bruise, it is not in vain that shooting at extra short distances is not allowed again.

      I agree ! Protection is needed in any case! And you can’t break TB! But we must not forget that the speed of a bullet is not the most important thing! There is still a lot of bullet! For example, 100 m / s from a marker is much more painful than from pneumatics ... So, here you need to take a specific case! For example, I play hardball, speeds up to 180 m / s. But with proper protection, this does not hurt at all! Paintball is more painful ...

    I actively play paintball with schoolchildren and students. And it was with them, as an OBZh teacher, that it was - the game went with a test according to NVP. It is very convenient to explain to the children the rules of battle: the speed of the ball is small, you can see the trajectory, the result. It is easier to conduct debriefing later. By the way, it perfectly weaned you from drinking alcohol. For example, in September we are going to the game, the first course comes up and crumples: "Well, we're going to have a rest ..." - to which the older guys said: "Before the game you can't: the mask sweats, and after - so much adrenaline and impressions that and will not want to "(And after all, they brought back, although many do not believe.)

    and you play;)

    for hardcore I recommend you play against the women, you are alone, and their people are 5-7 .. I think you’ll get an adrenaline runoff, then you will drink a liter of vodka and you won’t get drunk, because the women are animals in paintball, they will easily go from the rear and from the meter to the back of the head (which is without protection) a quarter of the feeder is planted - I just hit it like that, thought I would die there, because I have never heard such a ringing in my head, the back of my head is without protection, I’m glad when I peeped that they kissed me and apologized (they forgot that it was point blank It’s forbidden to shoot), otherwise it would be a fool for sure :)

    I watched the game somehow, when one woman stayed in a snow fortress, and there were 4 men against her, she couldn’t throw her with grenades, took the whole blow on herself .. the result - for about 10 minutes she was alone against them, they certainly killed her. She comes out of the battlefield, all in jelly, at the very height of 1.50, she crackes it in a childlike way, drinks 200 grams of vodka in one gulp, wipes it silently, charges the feeder, bottle and goes to the second game - the girl is 18 years old, not once in such games I didn’t play, I don’t drink, I don’t swear, but she says that I’ve never experienced any adrenaline and ecstasy drain.

    And then she took revenge on the peasants, crawled to the fortress (small, you see her), and threw a grenade one after another at the parapet, although trying to finish them off, I received a handful of balloons from the last survivor :)

    Paintball is good, but unfortunately expensive, and most importantly, unlike airsoft, it requires more equipment than is not particularly suitable for single people. In airsoft it’s easier - I bought equipment and everything, but in paintball I need at least air, and normal balloons should be taken in bulk from trusted companies.

      In airsoft it’s easier - I bought equipment and everything, but in paintball I need at least air

      All weapons can be divided into several categories:
      1. Spring Pneumatics (Spring)
      These types of weapons are fired with balls using a conventional spring, which is cocked by the player before firing. Most types of weapons with spring pneumatics are designed to play indoors, as they have limited range and rate of fire (due to the manual mechanism).
      2. Gas pneumatics
      This type of weapon uses “green gas” as a propelling force. Green gas, also known as ordinary propane, has a more powerful pushing force and is used in most types of weapons with a metal bolt frame (upper receivers). Modern gas weapons typically use diflourothane or tetraflourthane gas, similar in composition to freon. Inside the container, the gas is stored in liquid form, and remains so when placed in a gun or rifle magazine. When the valve at the top of the store opens, part of this liquid is released under high pressure in the form of gas and acts on a special cyclic mechanism of the "gas" gun. There are two types of gas weapons - NBB (Non-Blow-Back) and GBB (Gas Blow-Back)

      3. Weapons with electric drive (Automatic Electric Guns).
      Electric Weapons (AEG) use battery power and an electric motor to operate, which triggers an internal piston-spring mechanism to shoot plastic balls. This weapon is universally recognized as the most popular airsoft weapon in "serious" battles.

    April 8 2013 12: 34
    3. Do not shoot in the head! If possible, refrain from firing on exposed parts of the body, especially on the head. If you accidentally hit the head from a short distance - sorry, if necessary, offer help!
    For a long time already put a bolt on this rule. Although I try not to shoot at random. But MacLaud punish hard 145M \ s + Rate of fire 1200 V / S

    April 8 2013 12: 36
    5. Alcohol and drugs are illegal! Drinking in a friendly airsoft company before the game or during the game is unacceptable. You should not count on your inflexible health and drink in the evening of the day preceding the start of the game. Any fighter who is intoxicated or intoxicated is not allowed to play.

There were shootings, climbed with PNV, in search of an enemy at night in a wet forest, in the morning they launched the 2nd attack on the airfield, took quickly and repelled 3-4 attacks, two mortars did not help the opponents. My rifle died of sand, I was exhausted from the fact that I did not sleep for 1,5 days and constantly ran, but there were a lot of impressions :)

        15 000 rubles only a drive, still the same amount of shells (this is domestic), if the shells are imported, for example, the same African lump, then you need to look at the manufacturer, but it all depends on the imagination and capabilities of your wallet and this provided that the drive will be in standard from the manufacturer’s performance, although as a rule a drive with everything hinged increases the cost by two to three times ... somewhere like that.

          CYMA ak-74m 7-odd thousand rubles, reliable and not whimsical.
          Second-hand clothes German trousers 800 rubles, a parka 1200, well, my acquaintances from the factory drove the glasses to me at the cut; the distances are only small that neither of which actually is necessary.

    all the same expensive pleasure - strike. Just starting to play, I was at 2 games and several training sessions. So far it has taken me: Drive: about 8k (China), a slide from MTR - another 5k, RPS - another 3 (lucky, I found a used but incomplete kit). We don’t consider any small things ... For provinces where the average salary of 15-25 thousand is quite noticeable, because there is still a family and a child, and cutting money is not easy, but it's worth it.

    and I played laser tag last fall. I can't say anything about the flock, because did not play, honestly (but what is better than paintball is for sure. no problems with cartridges - they are free and limited by the speed of pressing your index finger on the hook. Do not cheat - the sensor shows hits, after the game the site gives detailed statistics of who, whom, how much ) no trauma (although maybe this is not quite a plus, you play not so carefully) The firing range is under 200 meters, the airsoft team that played with us said that they do not "work" at such distances, too far for their drives. The equipment is produced by some kind of our company, so the support of a domestic manufacturer (+) is shorter than waiting for the new season to open, you run so that the next day you don't feel your legs, it relieves stress very well !!

    In my opinion, these are not comparable things =) But since I deal with airsoft myself I think it is better, a friend of mine who played paintball for 5 years brought him to airsoft and says that he liked it better :) In principle, there are a lot of similarities there and there, but realism wins airsoft and by mass events, which is important)

    The article does not say a word that military equipment is used in airsoft at large games: tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, at the opening of 2012, according to the IC, there were even second bears. Plus in airsoft there are such nishtyaki as tactical flashlights, optics, night vision devices, thermal imagers, smoke grenades, etc. With this you can already play in the special forces. At least paintball can not oppose anything to this in terms of simulation of military operations. So paintball is a sport like tennis or volleyball, and airsoft is a military tactical game.

    I personally will express my opinion, I do not want to offend anyone. Himself played a couple of times in this and that, the teams are from 7 to 9 people. Paintball is really a sport, run jump, interact practically no disputes, shooting is the third thing. Strike-nerd, assembled turned on equipment, those who in childhood didn’t play the warrior well and like me, people are random. First, the parade of peacocks on a current of about 20 minutes, who’s cooler where they bought, how much they spent. The maximum of 10 minutes of the war and times in 1,5 , XNUMX less dynamic than in paintball. And then that half who has the steeper trunks, spreads his goose in the bushes and waits until you come out to him and he Esnet you. And all the time stops. You stupidly throw grenades at him and then he gets offended, why didn't you go around him? how didn’t a doe jump through ravines? and he didn’t shoot at you like a dash? Grenades are not cheap, you’ll lower money quickly and have no pleasure. A plus article has so many discussions.

      Strike-nerd, going turned on equipment, those who in childhood did not finish the war game

      All that I read is nothing more than a workout that does not give a tenth of the idea of ​​a strike, this is just a prelude. Damn everyone had played enough in Kalofdutie and are waiting for that everywhere Stalingrad should be with wild thoughtless meat. In short, the strike is its own unique romance. Daily games, campfire gatherings, night vigils, tracing balls in the night, climbing in pitch darkness with a compass in observance of noise blackout, when every extra gram pulls you the next day, radio intercepts and jamming. This is an incomparable experience, which can only be obtained in the army in combat. For office plankton on the weekend, go for a laugh and have a beer and barbecue fun to arrange it is certainly preferable to paintball than nerd airsoft with their bunch of unwritten laws of the rules. But the strike also attracts me because for a certain audiotriy with its philosophy and strangers, nobody really pulls there.

      When in paintball you have a simple marker, and your opponent has a sophisticated "automatic" sport of high achievements begins. I've never run like that in my life. :) And the strike is closer to reenactors than to running around.

    Don’t be offended by me, I’ll tell you a case from life.
    We argued like we had two schoolchildren, and since they had access to the folder trunks, they took guns and went away from the village to where the piece of iron diverged. Lay down, one after the even, the second after the odd. There was one shot, the one who had the buckshot at his ear whistled, got up and said that they say it’s not worth it. Only the dads of both hunters quickly figured out one, then the second and fluttered. Here is an airsoft. It's just that when you smear with paint, this is one thing, and when it whistles near your ear, a completely different state comes upon you. And at the expense of camouflage and approach, so try to approach any beast, he, as you discover, will give a hundred points of odds to any commando.

    I shot in both strike and paintball. My opinion is paintball. Everything is somehow more dynamic and there is more adrenaline. :) I can’t bring the scientific base, personal feelings.

    Credit to the author for courage - he raised the eternal theme of comparing paintball and airsoft. The first thing that catches your eye is the author of a 100% striker. It can be seen by the number of submitted information about airsoft and the title of the article.

    Airsoft pros - 1) you can play at night, you can play at least round the clock, i.e. working out ambushes and so on (you don’t run a mask in paintball for a long time.)
    2) More opportunity to organize themselves, i.e. the game does not depend on the judges and does not need to be dragged
    compressors / cylinders per game.

    Paintball Pros - 1) The possibility of unfair play is excluded (even if the affected player erases the paint - it will remain
    stain on clothes).
    2) Sensible (painful) hit during cleaning

    Personally, I am for paintball - several games in airsoft and also several games against airsoft on paintball equipment only strengthened my position.
    The hunters' comments were very amusing - they say the hunter will make any striker / paintball player. And who are these hunters hunting for? For example, I love running hunting. I go to the mountains a lot during the season. I beat the bees and bunnies sometimes, but forgive me, what advantage does this give when cleaning premises, for example? Do not be cunning, if you are a hunter it does not give you any preferences, well, unless of course you are not a trader, and even then I do not see an advantage in a battle in a building.
    The author didn’t fully reveal what tactical paintball is like - this is a game not on the site, but let's say in an abandoned pioneer camp / sanatorium or industrial zone, in the mountains. Paintball allows you to develop very valuable skills applicable primarily to combat in urban conditions - this is a fact that confirms the presence of training with paintball equipment for special forces groups abroad and in Russia, "Alpha", "Lynx", "Pennant." And to all the wise men who say that all these shooters are just a toy and a real man is revealed only with real weapons, I will suggest finding tactical paintball players in my city and try to play with them. I am sure it will open a lot of new things.

    And it seems to me that if you develop a strike at the state level, then in the future young people (in military training) will have at least excellent partisans or saboteurs, Although not terrorists, I do not exclude this.

    Both of these are complete crap! We somehow gathered about 20 people, everyone had injuries, shotguns, guns, put on protection and went to war! Now I’ll tell you real feelings, it feels like it’s like in a war, the blows are real if a good defense, then you hardly feel pain and there are no bruises. But the sound and effect are much real and you immediately understand the difference and the reality of the battle!

    In my opinion it’s silly to compare different things. I'm closer to the strike, friends like paint brushes. Who what.
