| Airsoft Sniper Rifles | Airsoft is a shooting game in which players disqualify
opponents by shooting them with plastic pellets using
an airsoft gun. Players use different kinds of
airsoft weapons based on real firearms, as well as
realistic uniforms. Airsoft began in Japan, as an
alternative for gun enthusiasts, because firearms are
extremely difficult to own there, due to gun laws.
This is perhaps why airsoft weapons are such
painstaking copies of actual guns.
MilSim is a version of airsoft play that often
combines military themed role-play with airsoft play.
In these simulated military campaigns several
objectives or goals are presented to both teams,
perhaps the occupation of a certain hill, or the
tagging of a certain target. For the accomplishment of
these goals, it is often necessary to employ different
types of troops, each outfitted in such a way that
each specializes in a certain type of play. For
instance, on squad could be equipped for a full
frontal assault, carrying a large cache' of grenades,
assault rifles capable of extended cover fire, and
perhaps a rocket launcher. Another group of troops may
be outfitted lightly, to achieve high levels of
mobility, for the purposes of flanking an enemy
position.
Perhaps the most important part of a milsim airsoft
team would be the airsoft sniper. An airsoft sniper
would be equipped with a special airsoft sniper rifle
capable of making long distance shots with great
accuracy. This can be achieved through added muzzle
velocity and an accurate scope. They would be, for the
most part, employ all the skills necessary for an
actual sniper. Some dedicated airsoft snipers may even
employ ghillie suits, for the ultimate in camouflage.
