Knowing how to handle a gun is just a necessary evil, to combat evil!

Sad though...
sorry I don't get what u mean. it is kind of off topic. I don't mean to show it from airsoft view.

I don't believe for a second that SAS and American special forces use airsoft. You train with the gear that you use in the field, and airsoft guns aren't as loud, aren't as heavy and don't have nearly as much recoil as real weapons. Not to mention the muzzle velocities are way lower.

General dynamics makes what is called Simunition, a variety of different rounds that can be fired through real weapons. My military friends say they use this when they train; I'd be willing to bet that most other armed forces use similar products.

believe it or not. I saw it my own eyes on some sas documentary. yes u'r right. it doesn't have that recoil and not that loud. other part are just same. same operation u need same handling. and weight is same depending of which brand replica is used. not even weapon specialist can't distinguish when they have it on their hand until they pull the trigger. most training is just honing their skill like reload and other stuffs and tactics, teamwork. Sure they use other training gears. I think they use all of them.

Airsoft is played by "tacticool noobs" in the same way arma is...

It is effectively a step up from milsims, and as such is VERY fun.


I have a rifle and have tracer rounds, i can CONFIRM that there is NEVER any tracer "wiggle". If you really are so strongly opinionated towards tracer wiggle, go to a shooting range at dusk and ask to see some tracer shots, the one near me often has night shoots.

Sure, but what about flight simmers?
Nerds, living in the basement pretending to be WW2 pilots.

Here is a video footage where u can clearly see how tracers are seen when camera shakes. This is an airsoft night game with tracer bbs. hope u guys like it.



btw, airsofting is my another hobby besides IL2 .
Erm, no.

It's like you're trying to explain how a firefly works using a lightbulb: they might look similar, but it's not the same thing.

You forgot to mention that Sim ammo is lethal.

that's the point. I didn't mean same but similar. just see the difference btw camera mounted bb tracer and other tracer that shot by other people. if u see the difference then u can imagine the difference by pilot guncam tracer and pilot see the tracer by their own eyes.
