Airsoft rules

Irish Trinity

as a newbie to airsoft i don't now a whole lot about it even tho i have been searching the web for days, what are the actual rules in an airsoft battle?

and another question is do you play outside in HRTV or just inside

hope this isn't considered a spam topic

its just indoors at the moment but their are plans being made for a 5achre site on the same grounds as the indoor area.

Main rules are be honest and use common sense. call your own hits and always wear EYE protection. FULL FACE protection is at the moment and should always be your own choice.

Dont start calling other peoples hits as it just ruins the game, just shoot them again and again in more painfull spots and they will take the hit.

I presume this is all team play? How do you distinguish between each team?

Do you play with any objectives?

Irish Trinity

I don't get what you meen by taking other peoples hits

Voodoomelon

He means when someone hits another person, you claim it was YOU that hit that person, when in fact it wasn't.

N.O.I.P.

Actually he means if you hit someone there is no need for you to tell them they are hit, they will either call the hit themselves or not. If they havent noticed that they were hit then shoot them again, but if they refuse to take their hits call a marshall

How do you distinguish between each team?

In most cases the different teams will wear coloured arm bands (electrical tape ) but some sites might have other solutions

just shoot them again and again in more painfull spots and they will take the hit.

Uhm no call a marshall and explain to them that the person is not taking their hits

Voodoomelon

Ah, cool.
What about objectives?

Irishpimpdude

Yea when i was at HRTA we played an objective... one guy gets 3 parts of a gun to hide and then he has to stop everyone from finding them by hitting them... but he is wearing armour so hits dont count.. when the other team finds all the parts of the gun they put it back together and shoot him with it...

Hostage Rescue is also played at HRTA. Last Saturday added the extra dynamic of being able to take attacking members hostage.

N.O.I.P.

Yeah objectives differ depending on the game your playing (as do regen rules etc) and games differ depending on what site you are playing on, so only general rules can be given about this.

If during the course of a game you are shot (I am assuming we are playing a normal game where everyone is capable of being shot) you may have to move to a regen point to respawn before you can re-enter the game, hand a token to a marshall (once you are out of tokens you are out of the game, or you have to get more tokens at a designated point) or if shot you may be out until the next game is started.

All of this depends on the game that you are currently playing and all the rules will be explained before every game starts

(I wonder did any of that make sense )

N.O.I.P.

Also when you are hit, call "hit" raise your arms and generally you have to go to the spawn area b4 re-joining the game, if you have to go to the safe area, you are supposed to remove your mag and empty the chamber b4 putting the safety on,
All weapons in the safe area must be unloaded with the safety on,even then no pointing at people, keep it pointed to the ground.,

Some places dont like you firing at people at point blank range, in those cases you can call for their surrender, or shout bang instead of firing.

Generally dont go for blatent head shots if you can avoid it.

some people also dont consider a bang kill to count so be wary of that. you may be forced to shoot at close range if they dont surrender.
