"Chubby little arms" Alfonse is fucking ripped. Range -- less than 100 yards for the most part. The grenades are filled with dried peas, and per the rules of the game it just has a kill radius (usually 10ish feet).
Also if you see a dude switching to his side arm in cqb settings, its probably because their primary is shoots too hot (most fields i go to wont allow over 400fps up close) and needs to use a lower fps gun when fighting cqb
@@Goku-cr2bi often too even if there is no med for a 400fps, il switch to my pistol because it works fine at close range and to not hurt them, 400fps at 5 feet stings lol
“Can you run and gun with a beer?” This man is a genius, make him head of Airsoft immediately. This is the kind of synergy you get when you invite in ex military types.
The tactical beer holder that mounts on picatinny rails does in fact hold your standard beer can and it is in fact possible to use surgical tubing and duct tape to run a line through your rifle up to your mouth for tactical beer insertion on the battlefield
I’m ex forces here in the Uk 🇬🇧 when I first see Airsoft I couldn’t stop laughing. But I gave it a go and I’ve been playing for the last five years the game is fun you should give it ok. Have a look at Desert fox he’s a good guy, stay safe guys 🤙🇬🇧🇺🇸
Check out Dutch the Hooligan, he actually teams up with Alfonse in a couple of his posts. Also they use hand guns inside bc most main guns you can't shoot within 10 to 15 feet of someone.
1000% Dutch us a fantastic choice and if I remember correctly, he is also from the SoCal area so he'd be great for giving the ropes. Also a great company to hit up for gear could be Airsoft GI or Evike. Both have HQs in SoCal as well!
@@RedvsBluechurch1 Oh for sure. From what i've learned from rangers and some infantry dudes in my unit i try to employ the same things. I'm just curious to see hw well their specific performance would work out. I'm sure it would be pretty good but just how good is what i'm curious about.
@@Kafkodesu The largest issue with airsoft vs military tactics is that Airsoft is a game played with toy guns. Their tactics are about keeping you alive when your skin is in the game.
@@RedvsBluechurch1 You shouldn’t start with a shell ejecting rifle. Unless you plan to buy and load new shells to replace lost ones it’s not really practical and will probably be expensive. It’s also a huge investment if you’re only getting started, especially if you change your mind later but already spent thousands of dollars. If you’re dead set on airsoft long-term and you’re alright with that, go ahead. Just thought I’d give advice.

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.
@@ericostler4171 You have Red Gas, Green Gas, Propane, and CO2. Depends on the gun and the user's preference. Propane is usually the go to since it's the cheapest as you can buy a big amp stove bottle at Walmart and use an adapter nozzle for it, although you do need to add just a bit of silicone lube to the gas, or at least you did back when I played I don't know if that's changed.
You guys have barely scratched the surface of airsoft, the big Milsim games have been the most fun I’ve every had and the community of airsoft guys are the coolest people you’ll meet. A lot of players being current or former military guys and many of the vets I’ve talked to say it helps their PTSD too since it gives them a fun outlet to use their skills and meet people with similar interests.

The yellow grenades emit bbs and smoke, range varies on type of weapon system and how much upgrades a player has done to the weapon (inner barrel, bucking & hop up)
Feel free to hit up Project N1 in El Monte, CA. Military, LES and first responders get free admission. No minimum engagement, grenades allowed and very tactical with doors sometimes and tight corners all the time
Guns run off of batteries, gas and air - AEG: Automatic Electric Gun), - GBB: Gas Blowback: batteries with a slight recoil to it ex: KWA T10, - PolarStar/ HPA: Air with a tube nozzle to connect to your gun - Gas: Green gas inserted into the mag to fire the weapon
Just to warn you guys, starting with Airsoft Alfonse, you are starting essentially with the best of the best in the airsoft community. Don't expect this from everyone. Also, from one vet to 2 others, much love boys
Airsoft is just fun as hell. Me and my dad got into it like 10 years ago, right when I got out of high school. It's a lot more fun than sitting in front of a TV playing video games.
I love how Patrick was like "if you'd like us to watch an airsoft video, go ahead and send us the link! But don't send us you and your buddies, playing last weekend" and Jason looked uncomfortable 😂 then, later, he goes "my video is actually some guy and his buddies last weekend" lmao the looks they gave each other
@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Kickingmustang has some BADASS ghillie suit stealth he's done in some of his airsoft videos, like hiding against a cliff face from a whole enemy squad. Definitely worth checking out!
The thing with airsoft is in most modes you know where the enemy starts and know that at the beginning you can run forward far without having to worry about clearing. Some people don't do it anyway, but they are still having fun :)
There's actually a pretty big scene on UA-cam for Ex-military personal going and playing Airsoft\paintball Milsim events. Would probably bring a lot more viewers in! Going and clearing out the whole enemy team and breaking down what you did
They wont really show tactics since a lot they used are still in use today, probaly. Spec Ops wouldnt put their active comrades in danger by enabling the enemy to see their tactics on youtube
@@Kommentareable Yes they do? you can literally go watch breakdowns of stuff 24/7 and a high majority of operations manuals can be (figuratively) bought from amazon
Airsoft Grenades vary. The most common are smokes, which have a 7ft kill radius, frags usually have BBs inside as well as a soft plastic shell. Bangs usually use a charge snd release either smoke or BBs depending on the brand. We also have smart Grenades and several mines that spew BBs.
One of the main issues I have with airsoft, is it can create some bad training scars. You modify alot techniques and tactics around the equipment, environment, players, and rules. It can be a double edge sword if your not cautious.
Honestly dudes, more military guys SHOULD get into airsoft because they would get the same high speed movement and tactics of combat, without any of the actual lethality
Me my brother and father watch airsoft games on youtube regularly while having a drink and reacting and having a laugh just like you two. Its a nice bonding
There was actually a documentary series recently released where one episode was on Milsim airsoft and why people play. It’s called “Fanatics: the Deep End.”
I wonder if any one of guys on your deployments had a cup of coffee and one of your buddies spit in your cup of coffee since coffee was limited, what did you do to them or what do they usually do to others
When that dude looked in the mirror, anyone else got startled by how jacked he was? Everyone else is either chubby or scrawny, but my man there looking like Arnie in his prime.
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.
As a veteran I love playing airsoft. I have taken a team and tought them a few tactics. Battelle drill 6 and how to pie doors and catch correct angles. Definitely made them better.
See this: “Can airsoft translate to real firearm skill?” By T.Rex arms. Now for airsoft, you need to account that not all types of games and players will make sense in “real life” like scenarios. A lot of events are more “video game” like type. But it’s good dry fire training and individual technique training. Against real life targets that react in various ways.
Now SIG Sauer is making its own line of airsoft. Airsoft is also good for practicing reloading techniques. It can save the real gun from wear and tear and great for practicing quick draw and reaction speed and keeping the skill sharp even during ammo shortages.
@@Joshua_N-A Wasn't there's an AK company that make airsoft AK using same materials to make the real one? They also using the same machine to stamp the metal body part. I forgot the name though.
The dude who runs trex arms is part of an actual religious cult lol, should check that guys father out. Also trex arms very clearly edits their vids to make that loony twat look like a faster shot than he really is.
You guys are a blast. When I was in the Army I often got tasked out to play OPFOR against you special ops guys. The sim (UTM) rounds are way worse, had to dig a few out of my leg, lots of scars.
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
You need to react and watch some “Milsim West” videos! Those guys are legit, it’s a more advanced battlefield compared to normal air soft. Thing like the difference between Standard and Competitve game modes on Call of Duty. You’ll get your shit rocked if you stand in front of a window eating laffy taffy at Milsim West.
I look forward to learning with you guys. I have looked a little bit in to getting a kit for movement, shoot from cover and transitions drills in my back yard. That kind of training costs an arm and a leg for live fire. Lol
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
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.
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.
+1 on large scale Milsim airsoft war games with gas blow back rifles so it’s not all full auto and mag dumping too. Real cap on your mags with like a .22lr recoil impulse and a chance of malfunctions lol Most gas blowback airsoft guns operate very similarly to the real ones. Possible misfeeds when chambering or when it cycles too fast with a bad mag
Gas blow back rifles are great for training too. I’d buy one to practice myself, but my rifle is a BRN 180 so it’s controls aren’t quite the same as a normal AR-15/M4
@@Heiryuu Got into firearms at a young age so I was always partial to gas blowback guns when I couldn't own an actual firearm yet in my teens. First learned the inner workings and mechanisms and was an inexpensive way to learn how to gunsmith too. In hindsight, they required a lot more maintenance than actual firearms but at least you don't get put into jail if you shoot your buddy LOL (always wanted to try simmunition but it's not available over here)
@@gob7116 I got into airsoft and guns when I was younger and got to learn the rules of firearm safety through experience. I shot my little brother exactly 1 time with an “unloaded” airsoft pistol. Left him with a bloody welt on his forehead but nothing worse. I’ve never flagged another person with a weapon since.
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
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.
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
"Feed the fat." "Chubby little arms." Alfonse is literally bigger than both of you lol. He's the whole unit. Check out guys like Ref Squad or other agressive indoor players. That stuff is a whole different world.
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.
So your question about the grenades. Some are bangers & you simply put different size caps inside & throw the grenade for different size bangs. I’ve got the “Tectonic Innovatins Quake 8” grenade which can hold multiple caps so you can use it over & over before reloading it, you just switch the dial & the next cap gets loaded into the chamber & throw it again (like the guy in the video you watched) There are other grenades which fire out bbs in 360* spin so you throw it in a room & it’ll throw bbs everywhere, like 150+ bbs lol but then you need to refill the gas chamber & re fill the bbs, both of which cost more than just using the caps.. Both these grenades options count as a kill within 10-15m in open space or counts as a kill if someone is within the room it went off in or if a bb hits you etc.. Hoe that helps answer a few questions 👍🏼
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
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
In the Nashville area, a lot of airsoft guys were former military. It was fun playing with them because they showed us how to set us ambushes in the woods and stuff like that. Most of the places I played at were heavily wooded areas, and they people that ran the games always made these scenerios which made it really fun.
fyi: those grenades are grenades that has a loud bang (but not deafening nor concussive) and has a 15ft kill radius( also depends on field rules). they do not send bbs or any projectiles flying some airsoft grenades are either spring or gas operated that sends bbs flying. you're considers dead if hit by one of the bbs
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.
About the grenades, some shoot a shit tone of bbs out, some just pop, and if your standing in a room with it, you're out, and some release colorful smoke. I've seen people use the smoke grenades to flush people out of rooms because breathing most of them in sucks ass.
Come to Project N1 in El Monte, California. Indoor CQB, no minimum engagement, pyro grenades shooting either bb’s, paint, both or flash grenades. Open everyday & they sometimes have doors
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
The 2 most common types of airsoft guns are Automatic Electric Gun (AEG) and Gas Blow Back (GBB). AEG's use a battery to power an elector motor which launches the BB's while GBB uses gas to launch the BB's. AEG's now a days also have a function to recreate recoil, of course not as intense as a real firearm but a little bit of a kick when firing to create realism. GBB's always had recoil simply due to the gas pressure and also sound bit "more" real. All the guns in the video clips are AEG's, making the little whisp noise when firing. GBB's have a little more "blast" type of sound. The Glock that guy used in the first clip is a GBB. The grenades they are throwing are gas powered and are usually filled with anywhere between 10-100 BB's. When they pull the pin and throw, all the BB's inside will be launched out 360 degrees, clearing the room.
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.
I would absolutely watch a team of SOF guys dominate an airsoft field. That would be prime entertainment.
Ballahack occasionally has navy/seal guys show up. Fun to learn from watching them work.
There is a video out there of a navy seal team competing against a speedsoft team or something.
It will also be a good training for everyone else that attended the event.
@@Shadewraith0529 have played at ballahack with those guys..they dominate EVERY SINGLE TIME.
I'd honestly love to see that and have them get their asses kicked by all the call of duty kids. Realistically i know it wouldn't happen but it would make for a damn good laugh.
Just as an FYi a lot of "surpressors" on AEG's are tracer units. They light up special BB's to glow in the dark simulating tracer rounds :) - You can now also get ones that simulate muzzle flash
there are suppressors filled with foam that work on some air guns
Also some are literally cans that do nothing but hide extended barrels.
Yeah i have one that simulates muzzle flash and its fun to shoot.

I think yall should try a milsim airsoft game first 😂 the regular airsoft matches might be to "paintbally" for yall
Thanks for the comment!
Or they’ll get flagged by someone and proceed to smoke said person
Milsim west might be a good one considering they allow blankfire including select-fire and sometimes pyrotechnic grenades.
Most milsims actually have former military operating command positions like leading a platoon or organizing a event, providing the vehicles, etc

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.
CO2* propane would be dangerous as all hell.
@@ericostler4171 it is propane, though co2 is used as well

Propane is usually the go to since it's the cheapest as you can buy a big amp stove bottle at Walmart and use an adapter nozzle for it, although you do need to add just a bit of silicone lube to the gas, or at least you did back when I played I don't know if that's changed.
@@ericostler4171 nah thats a green gas mag. and green gas is just propane with oil and no scent.
@@ericostler4171 propane is not as dangerous as you think it is, not at all
Get jason and pat to record themselves playing, Jason’s gonna be breaching each room while Patrick just runs and guns like MW
You guys have barely scratched the surface of airsoft, the big Milsim games have been the most fun I’ve every had and the community of airsoft guys are the coolest people you’ll meet. A lot of players being current or former military guys and many of the vets I’ve talked to say it helps their PTSD too since it gives them a fun outlet to use their skills and meet people with similar interests.
Thanks for watching!! SUBSCRIBE to support Savage Actual! Thank you Savage Army we appreciate each and every one of you! Stay Savage!!! Let us know what are some good Airsoft guns!!

Look into the manufacturers G&G or ICS, they make top quality airsoft guns.
G&G, KWA, PolarStar, Tokyo Marui & Hi Cappa
The yellow grenades emit bbs and smoke, range varies on type of weapon system and how much upgrades a player has done to the weapon (inner barrel, bucking & hop up)
Feel free to hit up Project N1 in El Monte, CA. Military, LES and first responders get free admission. No minimum engagement, grenades allowed and very tactical with doors sometimes and tight corners all the time
Guns run off of batteries, gas and air
- AEG: Automatic Electric Gun),
- GBB: Gas Blowback: batteries with a slight recoil to it ex: KWA T10,
- PolarStar/ HPA: Air with a tube nozzle to connect to your gun
- Gas: Green gas inserted into the mag to fire the weapon
Just to warn you guys, starting with Airsoft Alfonse, you are starting essentially with the best of the best in the airsoft community. Don't expect this from everyone. Also, from one vet to 2 others, much love boys
Thanks Tyler, appreciate the support!
Airsoft is just fun as hell. Me and my dad got into it like 10 years ago, right when I got out of high school. It's a lot more fun than sitting in front of a TV playing video games.
I play a lot of video games too, but I still enjoy airsoft more
I love how Patrick was like "if you'd like us to watch an airsoft video, go ahead and send us the link! But don't send us you and your buddies, playing last weekend" and Jason looked uncomfortable 😂 then, later, he goes "my video is actually some guy and his buddies last weekend" lmao the looks they gave each other
@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.
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.
Can you guys show us how to clear a room?
Tommy there are tons of videos like that on the tube, by some great guys. Maybe a bit farther down the road. Thanks for watching!
UF Pro will help you
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.
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.
Bro you ever see a polar star
You forgot hpa.
Bro deadass forgot about hpa😐
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.
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.
Would love to see footage of you guys in a skirmish. It would be awesome. The nade options are frag (BB), Smoke or Thunder Flash.
Kickingmustang has some BADASS ghillie suit stealth he's done in some of his airsoft videos, like hiding against a cliff face from a whole enemy squad. Definitely worth checking out!
Yeah but he cheats
@@FlankerJackChannel How?
The thing with airsoft is in most modes you know where the enemy starts and know that at the beginning you can run forward far without having to worry about clearing. Some people don't do it anyway, but they are still having fun :)
There's actually a pretty big scene on UA-cam for Ex-military personal going and playing Airsoft\paintball Milsim events. Would probably bring a lot more viewers in! Going and clearing out the whole enemy team and breaking down what you did
They wont really show tactics since a lot they used are still in use today, probaly. Spec Ops wouldnt put their active comrades in danger by enabling the enemy to see their tactics on youtube
Check out the Stirling airsoft channel from the uk.
@@Kommentareable Yes they do? you can literally go watch breakdowns of stuff 24/7 and a high majority of operations manuals can be (figuratively) bought from amazon
Airsoft Grenades vary.
The most common are smokes, which have a 7ft kill radius, frags usually have BBs inside as well as a soft plastic shell.
Bangs usually use a charge snd release either smoke or BBs depending on the brand.
We also have smart Grenades and several mines that spew BBs.
Impressed by the heli?? do a search on Airsoft, tank or APC and yeah they use those in their games too :)
Cant wait to see you guys playing Airsoft.
don't forget the RC cars with guns taped to them.
One of the main issues I have with airsoft, is it can create some bad training scars. You modify alot techniques and tactics around the equipment, environment, players, and rules. It can be a double edge sword if your not cautious.
One of those scars is things would be considered as concealment in real life covers you in airsoft, like bushes, tents etc.
Honestly dudes, more military guys SHOULD get into airsoft because they would get the same high speed movement and tactics of combat, without any of the actual lethality
Me my brother and father watch airsoft games on youtube regularly while having a drink and reacting and having a laugh just like you two. Its a nice bonding
There was actually a documentary series recently released where one episode was on Milsim airsoft and why people play. It’s called “Fanatics: the Deep End.”
You guys should watch dutch the hooligan, very good player, smart and fun to watch
Yeah "grenade" have bbs inside,
Normal distance for airsoft gun 30-50 meters, It can 80 meters but its extremely far
I'm sure amped airsoft would enjoy some more vets
I’m in the SoCal area I love Airsofting and I’m active duty let’s goooooooo
haha when the guy gets pissed at the overfiring kid, it reminds me of a specific group of people that i meet all the time
I wonder if any one of guys on your deployments had a cup of coffee and one of your buddies spit in your cup of coffee since coffee was limited, what did you do to them or what do they usually do to others
When that dude looked in the mirror, anyone else got startled by how jacked he was? Everyone else is either chubby or scrawny, but my man there looking like Arnie in his prime.
I see GMR as the thumbnail, I know this is gonna be good.
I stand corrected, I don’t believe that’s GMR
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.
Oh boy airsoft? Gotta hear this lmaoo
As a veteran I love playing airsoft. I have taken a team and tought them a few tactics. Battelle drill 6 and how to pie doors and catch correct angles. Definitely made them better.
See this:
“Can airsoft translate to real firearm skill?”
By T.Rex arms.
Now for airsoft, you need to account that not all types of games and players will make sense in “real life” like scenarios. A lot of events are more “video game” like type. But it’s good dry fire training and individual technique training. Against real life targets that react in various ways.
Now SIG Sauer is making its own line of airsoft. Airsoft is also good for practicing reloading techniques. It can save the real gun from wear and tear and great for practicing quick draw and reaction speed and keeping the skill sharp even during ammo shortages.
@@Joshua_N-A Wasn't there's an AK company that make airsoft AK using same materials to make the real one? They also using the same machine to stamp the metal body part.
I forgot the name though.
@@AlexSDU not Kalashnikov Concern (formerly Izhmash)?
@@Joshua_N-A I don't. I remember read about it just a few years ago.
The dude who runs trex arms is part of an actual religious cult lol, should check that guys father out. Also trex arms very clearly edits their vids to make that loony twat look like a faster shot than he really is.
"Minecraft overlay that's fucking badass"
I love these guys
editing in this is hilarious, keep it up
You guys are a blast. When I was in the Army I often got tasked out to play OPFOR against you special ops guys. The sim (UTM) rounds are way worse, had to dig a few out of my leg, lots of scars.
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
You need to react and watch some “Milsim West” videos! Those guys are legit, it’s a more advanced battlefield compared to normal air soft. Thing like the difference between Standard and Competitve game modes on Call of Duty.
You’ll get your shit rocked if you stand in front of a window eating laffy taffy at Milsim West.
MORE AIRSOFT REACTIONS PLS
I look forward to learning with you guys. I have looked a little bit in to getting a kit for movement, shoot from cover and transitions drills in my back yard. That kind of training costs an arm and a leg for live fire. Lol
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
Really cool that you guys are having casual commentary about a hobby I hold so dear! Can't wait for more content like it!
I know t.rex arms did a video of airsoft. He's an amazing shooter and applies real tactics to airsoft.
Here’s the link: ua-cam.com/video/qQDfwyUgtjg/v-deo.html
The airsoft community is disowning him now though... He's a proper shitbag
@@magaz he is a douche bag but why are Airsofters disowning him?
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.
Not gonna lie if an airsoft company collaborated with you guys to make savage actual gear and AEG’s I’d drop money on it real fast.
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.
+1 on large scale Milsim airsoft war games with gas blow back rifles so it’s not all full auto and mag dumping too. Real cap on your mags with like a .22lr recoil impulse and a chance of malfunctions lol
Most gas blowback airsoft guns operate very similarly to the real ones. Possible misfeeds when chambering or when it cycles too fast with a bad mag
Gas blow back rifles are great for training too. I’d buy one to practice myself, but my rifle is a BRN 180 so it’s controls aren’t quite the same as a normal AR-15/M4
@@Heiryuu Got into firearms at a young age so I was always partial to gas blowback guns when I couldn't own an actual firearm yet in my teens. First learned the inner workings and mechanisms and was an inexpensive way to learn how to gunsmith too. In hindsight, they required a lot more maintenance than actual firearms but at least you don't get put into jail if you shoot your buddy LOL (always wanted to try simmunition but it's not available over here)
@@gob7116 I got into airsoft and guns when I was younger and got to learn the rules of firearm safety through experience. I shot my little brother exactly 1 time with an “unloaded” airsoft pistol. Left him with a bloody welt on his forehead but nothing worse.
I’ve never flagged another person with a weapon since.
I used to airsoft all the time when I was younger, some of the most fun I've had
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
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.
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
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
I was there. I can indeed confirm that it was wild as fuck.
You guys would love this sh&^. I'm 38 and just got into it. Such a blast. You'd gain tons of followers and supporters of the channel also.
"Feed the fat."
"Chubby little arms."
Alfonse is literally bigger than both of you lol. He's the whole unit.
Check out guys like Ref Squad or other agressive indoor players. That stuff is a whole different world.
Alfonse is an airsofter, these guys are Spec-Ops. Bigger or not, they'd smoke him no issue lmaoo
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.
Yes watching the Jarheads roast the Larpers I’m in for a treat
Hahaha
They don’t actually roast them. They understand it’s a game and it’s supposed to be a fun/hobby.
@@SrAntonio301 I know I was messing around I play Airsoft myself I just don’t do Milsim
So your question about the grenades. Some are bangers & you simply put different size caps inside & throw the grenade for different size bangs. I’ve got the “Tectonic Innovatins Quake 8” grenade which can hold multiple caps so you can use it over & over before reloading it, you just switch the dial & the next cap gets loaded into the chamber & throw it again (like the guy in the video you watched) There are other grenades which fire out bbs in 360* spin so you throw it in a room & it’ll throw bbs everywhere, like 150+ bbs lol but then you need to refill the gas chamber & re fill the bbs, both of which cost more than just using the caps.. Both these grenades options count as a kill within 10-15m in open space or counts as a kill if someone is within the room it went off in or if a bb hits you etc.. Hoe that helps answer a few questions 👍🏼
“So he’s being fat?” “Ya look at his chubby arms” bruh y’all are literally watching Alfonse like WHAT 😂😂😂
All jokes aside I really enjoyed this video and subbed!
That's honestly the spirit lol just go out there and have fun!
You have to see Milsim West it’s just insane 💀
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
Somebody for the love of god sponsor these guys. I'd love to see them out on the field
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
In the Nashville area, a lot of airsoft guys were former military. It was fun playing with them because they showed us how to set us ambushes in the woods and stuff like that. Most of the places I played at were heavily wooded areas, and they people that ran the games always made these scenerios which made it really fun.
fyi: those grenades are grenades that has a loud bang (but not deafening nor concussive) and has a 15ft kill radius( also depends on field rules). they do not send bbs or any projectiles flying
some airsoft grenades are either spring or gas operated that sends bbs flying. you're considers dead if hit by one of the bbs
Gotta love to see such positivity
Big mil-sim games frequently have vehicles. Helicopters, technicals, boats, TONS of stuff.
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.
Love how the Sof guys into it lol, thats just it no one cares about real tactics here its just about fun like a irl video game
I think y’all would like magfed paintball better. The “bullets” don’t drop nearly as much as most airsoft BBs do.
About the grenades, some shoot a shit tone of bbs out, some just pop, and if your standing in a room with it, you're out, and some release colorful smoke. I've seen people use the smoke grenades to flush people out of rooms because breathing most of them in sucks ass.
You too for real need to go do this, some big airsoft company needs to sponson these 2 special ops vets and get i it done!
Come to Project N1 in El Monte, California. Indoor CQB, no minimum engagement, pyro grenades shooting either bb’s, paint, both or flash grenades. Open everyday & they sometimes have doors
Indoor and CQB fields are more fast-paced like video games. Outdoor games like milsims are like the name says military simulations.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
those nades he was using are the AFG 6 from tagiinn. They have dried peas inside that act as shrapnel
There's also the grenades that shoot out bbs.. and flash bangs. Even claymores.
Those grenades you guys saw, they are simulated Fragmentation grenades. The explode and BBs fly out of it. They're very fun and loud. Lol
The 2 most common types of airsoft guns are Automatic Electric Gun (AEG) and Gas Blow Back (GBB). AEG's use a battery to power an elector motor which launches the BB's while GBB uses gas to launch the BB's. AEG's now a days also have a function to recreate recoil, of course not as intense as a real firearm but a little bit of a kick when firing to create realism. GBB's always had recoil simply due to the gas pressure and also sound bit "more" real. All the guns in the video clips are AEG's, making the little whisp noise when firing. GBB's have a little more "blast" type of sound. The Glock that guy used in the first clip is a GBB.
The grenades they are throwing are gas powered and are usually filled with anywhere between 10-100 BB's. When they pull the pin and throw, all the BB's inside will be launched out 360 degrees, clearing the room.
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.
I was doing this with some solid guys like 15 yrs ago ..it's a frickin blast (we took it pretty serious, we even had a business building guns)
