Time for tips
Profile: Playing Tight
Profile is how much of you there is for the enemy to shoot at. You want a small profile so that you are less likely to get hit.
Playing tight is staying as close to your cover as possible to minimize profile.
Try to:
Keep your elbows in.
Keep the muzzle of the gun behind the corner so you can snap back behind should the need arise.
Shoot lefty around the left of cover. Shoot righty around the right of cover.
Remember to keep your legs and rear in. Its easy to forget that these are not in cover.
Distinguish between cover and concealment:cover blocks incoming fire, concealment hides you but may not block bbs.
If you remember to do all this you will be less likely to be hit. In the pictures I highlighted what would be available to shoot at. The first one is bad form.
Quick tip: by placing the elbow of your trigger arm (that is, the one whose finger is on the trigger) on your rib cage and placing the stock on the outside of your shoulder, you geometrically guarantee that you have the smallest profile possible, so long as your muzzle is as close to the edge of cover as possible.
Using Bunkers/Cover
Its time this section had a second look. After a few games recently I’ve noticed some common mistakes that even some experienced arisofters make while in a bunker.
Simply, here is a list of things to remember while in a bunker:
1) If there are not BBs headed directly for you, you should be looking out of the bunker.
If you huddle in a bunker without keeping constant tabs on whats around you, you lose track of where the enemy is, where nearby bunkers are, and where potential shots are. By keeping your head out of the bunker whenever possible, you will be able to identify and take shots that you never would have known about otherwise, and have superior situational awareness. Plus, if you huddle in your bunker, you are essentially doing the job of an opposing player who would normally be suppressing you.
2) Face forward.
This goes along with the previous point. If you lean your back or side against the bunker, it is more difficult to quickly look out of the bunker or to duck back in. Instead, sit a bit back from the bunker, facing forward. This will allow you to more quickly look or shoot, and to more quickly transition between different angles offered by the bunker.
3) Use all sides:
Any bunker has multiple places from which you can lean out and shoot/look. Usually this is the top and two sides, but more complex bunkers may have a plethora of potential shots that a creative player can use. There is no reason you have to be directly behind and center in a bunker.
See around Corners
Find an old CD, use this to see your enemies around corners
Accuracy
Its actually quite simple. Most people have trouble shooting off-handed simply because it is difficult to aim down a sight with the non-dominant eye. The solution? Don’t look down the sight. This is particularly useful for cqb, where profile and mobility are important, but ranges are short.
But how do you aim without using the sights? The trick is to ignore your gun completely. Focus only on your target, and do not pay attention to you weapon.
This works on the concept of the human minds spacial awareness, and its the same concept behind the ability to point at things. Try this: pick an object. Any object. Now point your finger at it. Now point at it with the other hand. Chances are, your pretty close in both cases, and you managed to accomplish that without the use of an alignment device.
Obviously, this won’t work so well out beyond 50 yards or so, but at that distance, especially in airsoft, speed of acquisition, isn’t so vital.
Backyard Airsoft
You can play airsoft in your backyard in most states ( be sure to check first) here’s a guide to that
Ask yourself this, what am I best at?
If your good at running really fast for ages, you should become a scout, if you are great at aiming, you should become a sniper ect.
Try to buy a gun that suits your role, for example, a sniper needs a camouflaged sniper rifle, and a support gunner needs a machine gun to lay down a wall of plastic.
Also think of what system you like best, spring for one cock per shot, and gas or electric for automatic firing.
If your constantly changing role, just buy an assault rifle.
In airsoft, there’s not just one game, but loads, here are some of them:
CQB- This usually takes place in a building ( or buildings) where the players are quite close together and move around a lot.
RP(roleplay)- The players are put in a scenario (eg. they have to rescue a hostage, they have to protect a vip ect.) with certain rules.
LSW(large scale war)- Not many people play this, this is played on a very large field with vehicles bunkers, supply rooms ect.
and there’s the normal skirmish which more often than not, takes place in a forest area.
So really this is just those special “surprises” you can give to your enemy and extra tips.
Tactical rolls- forwards rolls ect. not advised, you’ll probably hurt yourself and get very muddy, also there is a chance you will break your gun.
Ninja strikes- take quite some skill, but are very effective when pulled off correctly, you hang upside down from a tree, then when an enemy is close, you drop down with your sidearm and surprise attack them. Although this is considered camping and is kind of stupid.
most people say not to be afraid of being shot, but really at actually helps, because fear increases your reaction speed, which means you can doge faster.(In my opinion, but it really doesn’t matter too much.)
dressing like a terrorist or something also can buy you a few seconds to shoot, the enemy is freaked out and stunned for a few seconds, giving you the chance to attack.
tracer rounds also have the same effect at night because the enemy don,t know what you are firing at them, also they can tell you your ammo (1 tracer for every 5 rounds) and help your aiming because you can see where the bullet is going
