Hi Guys,

I posted a video recently about Airsoft and Milsim ?

I'd love your feedback and opinions please :)

 
The way I see it is, Milsim is for players who want to look like the real thing and take things more serious than the usual skirmisher and not arse about quite as much but it's still absolutely nothing like the real thing, nowhere near.

The fact that it's still grown men pretending makes whole mindset, location and pressure of a Milsim not realistic apart from to look at.

Edit... I can't really explain what I mean lol, but that's no way supposed to be a Milsim put down as I do enjoy it it!

I'm sure you get me..

But you did explain it well to the layman

Cant really fault the video - seems pretty balanced.

To us, airsoft is just a technology which allows you to play a game. It could be replaced with another technology at some point, depending on a lot of factors, maybe not. Its just a component of a wider subject.

Your video is really more a comparison between skirmishing and milsim or other role playing games.

Of course, Airsoft is a larger part of skirmishing than it is milsim. Our parent group also organises wild west games (is that westsim ?) where they have migrated to blank firers and of course re-enactors dont tend to use airsoft.

The video is rather simplified but we suspect that it has to be because of the running time, so fair enough.

In reality, there are lots of "flavours" of milsim and they cater for different audiences who still want to play some form of milsim. It doesnt have to be special forces loadouts and 48 hours plus to be milsim.

Im off to my first milsim event in december (okto 8's event). I love skirmish games but sometimes wish people worked a bit more like a team than just aload of people out for themselves. Variaty is the spice of life and as much as i enjoy and have a laugh just running round like a gun ho crazy mofo the idea of working as a team to attack/deffend or obatain and objective seems fun too. Doesnt mean because you want a bit more team based eviroment that i need to by an saab and bevome an accountant whith a high horse.

 
If your trousers cost more than your gun, then you have not paid enough for the gun

 
Don't even get me started on the costs of some plate carriers and helmets.

Some people need other things to spend their money on, heh.

 
Unfortunately things like that just give milsim a bad name. Our rebel force in our game series vy with each other to achieve the meanest rebel loadout at the least cost. The key to milsim is imagination which is free.

 
To be honest - no.

Some teams like to import kit because they like authentic camo or a particular rig, but Ive never seen any kind of elitism. Our loadout requirements are deliberately vague because not everybody can afford gucchi and our conflicts are deliberately fictional.

 
Yep, I believe this thread to be in good faith and poking fun at those with a little more money than sense. It's not my cup of tea but I'd hate to tar all of milsim with the same brush.
