Airsoft Brawl

I'm sure many of you have seen this video by now. This is definately one of the worst incidents I have seen and/or heard of, or even witnessed. This video was seriously dissapointing, and I hope everyone can take something away from it.

Airsoft is a game of competition, realism, and honor, but too often sparks anger and frustration. People not calling their hits, getting sprayed by too many rounds, teams/players blatantly cheating, games falling apart, campers, players shooting into your spawn point, giving your all only to get your ass kicked, etc, etc, and more etc. All of these things are aggravating and unfortunately all too common in airsoft. When we go out and play, we accept that these inevitabilities will happen, and will create more obstacles than necessary sometimes to enjoy our day of shooting. But none of that matters, it just happens, and a smart airsofter will push on and make it fun. Anyone who gets shot can be reshot, anyone who is cheating can be reported, and any game that falls apart can be fixed.

My point is that no matter what goes wrong, these behaviours are unacceptable. Fighting, screaming, threatening, etc, has very literally NO PLACE, on the field. If you can't control yourself or your temper, if idiots set you off easily, or if you resort to any of theee behaviours, YOU do not belong out there. Go play checkers by yourself if you're an emotional wreck. Congratulations, you're the equivalent of a twelve year old threatening and whining at people while playing COD online.

If anyone's witnesses this type of behaviour at an airsoft event, report them to the admins immediately, and hope the admins have the foresight to ban them for life.

WOW. Words cannot describe how stupid that whole thing was. I mean come on, why start that shit over a game? People who that kind of attitude need to be weeded out and kicked out! Period.
WOW..

Different POV for anyone interested.
Keep in mind you, as an airsofter, can also bring this on yourself. Some people have played for 8 years without incident and can be set off by the right fuckup.
Play safe, play honorably.
Think about every shot you make, think about being on the receiving end.

I hear tell many of the operators there are about 14.

Minus the giant bald guy who goes around sucker punching teenagers.

I see this type of stuff when guys refuse to wear lowers and get lit up in the face... sadlife

I'm sorry if you're that easily set off. GET SOME FUCKING HELP. Every single person that threw a punch deserves jail time where they'll get a new husband.
Bald dude that knocked out the other deserves a midnight shower in genpop.

Sorry but absolutely no sympathy here for dickheads like that. Do that on a field I'm at and I guarantee you see jail time.

That's...shameful.

I haven't witnessed anything this bad myself, but I have seen acts of violent threats and physical violence unfortunately, just not on this scale.

Man its been I think about 8 years since I've seen this level of immaturity in airsoft. I saw something similar in 07/08 while i was in Hong Kong.

both parties were at fault as one guy wasn't callin his hit so the other dude got pissed, and ran up to him and full autoed him in the face, like Long ass burst prolly a good 4 - 5 seconds. the one who got shot was calling hit when he was being shot but 4 - 5 seconds is a long time dude didnt stop so he fumed and threw his gun at him and they started beating the shit out of each other. never saw them again cuz they were probably banned from the field but they were all bloodied up and everything. Don't remember much about it besides the fact that the guy threw his gun at him hard and they started brawling.

not a pretty sight. this video just reminded me of that situation. as I said both parties were at fault. guy who wasn't calling his hit and guy who decided to take action instead of telling refs.

A good reminder that if you have a problem with someone on the field, take it up with the refs or host.

You haven't seen how big corn fed teenagers get.

But as a nod to civility lets bump the age to 35,

Yeah, what the fuck is up with that? You see two people fighting, you don't get into the fight yourself. You restrain the two parties and de-escalate the situation.

That fucker needs to get charged and banned for life. At the end you see him gesturing others to "come at me bro". I know that they're wearing helmets when being punched, but geeze, have some restraint.

This is Jericho Airsoft's response to the video. Really clears the air on what happened. The organizers did handle the matter properly after the fact.

If all is as it sounds, then good for Jericho. I also like how other groups and coordinators are asking for the names of those responsible. May they never find a home in airsoft again, it's clearly just not for them. There's more and more cameras out there every week, GoPros, Contours, Etc.
