So as we all know I'm 13. So I just want to know what do you think about kids? I personally don't care. Sorry if this has already been done.

 
yer i dont see a problem with it. have people had a go at you about being a kid??

 
Pretty much what Lozart said. In my experience the younger players who go on to have their own kit seem to have a lot of respect for the hobby and playing honestly.

 
If they can handle being shot, fall, taking hits, playing by the rules.. yea sure. But it is very unfair towards the opposite team player if he shots a kid and the kid start crying.

Maybe test to shoot at them at home with an AEG before you bring them to a game. sounds horrible, but they are going to get shot at the skirmish in either case, saves them the humiliation of reacting in public.

Another issue is filming.

 
Nobody having a go. I just want to know what people think because they might just be nice because you're small.

 
I accidentally shot myself with an AEG (ricocheted off a wall) and it stung.

Edit: do you mean kids filming or people filming kids?

I couldn't care less if there were U18 players younger than me at skirmishes. As long as they don't turn up in jeans with the latest JBBG special and don't act like a weapons expert because they played Call of Duty, I don't mind.

That and following the rules correctly and refraining from blind firing, that is :P

 
I've never been treated differently for being a younger player (15) only bad experience is when i was put on a team with some snobby rental guys that were obviously there on a business outing etc. who didn't want a "kid" on their team.

 
down to the site at the end of the day to who can and cant film

 
I don't mind kids at all. I appreciate they don't have the money some of us adults have at our disposal so they often have low end gear. As long as they have fun and play by the rules it's all good but that applies to just about everybody

Some of the best players I've seen are actually kids

 
I have to agree with Black Death .. some of the best players I have seen in Airsoft are younger players .. all are enthusiastic, their eyes lit up at shiny guns and new toys .. they follow the rules .. get stuck in and throughly enjoy the day .. they have the energy a lot of older players have grown out of or never had.

 
I sometimes wear a bright blue checked shirt playin, I'd happily play in dayglo kit if that was required, so having an issue with clothing is a bit weak to me as we all wear what works best for us and our budgets/freedom of choice.
