How to Start an Airsoft Team

How to start an airsoft team. Once you have played airsoft you only want to play more. A team can really help you out with that. The more people you have playing the more opportunities you have to play.

Most teams start out as friends getting together to play, but if you want to play in a large scenario, you will need to seek out other airsoft enthusiasts. There are a few ways to do this.

• Ask everyone you know who they know that plays airsoft. You'd be surprised how many friends of a friend play airsoft.
• Post an ad seeking airsoft players on craigslist.com or backpage.com
• Search forums for local groups
• Use social networking sites like facebook and myspace

These are the most effective ways I have found to find more players for airsoft.

If you want more than a get together, you need to hold practices and assign squad leaders. Each squad has a separate purpose whether it is sniping, gunning, reenforcement, etc. The leaders should be able to motivate their group and do it in a positive way. If personalities clash, chances are one person will leave.

Airsoft is an extreme sport that is loads of fun to play with many people. Having a team opens up more opportunities to travel the country playing airsoft against other teams. There is a gun for every type of player whether you want airsoft sniper rilfes, shotguns, semi-automatic rilfes, pistols, etc.

Why Are Airsoft Sniper Rilfes Popular?

Why are airsoft sniper rifles popular? When a person wants to start playing airsoft the gun they most often want is an airsoft sniper rife. There is a reason they are so popular.

There are many different types of sniper rilfes. They can be electric, gas, or spring. The electric airsoft sniper rifles are good, but the gears can wear out quickly. The gas can be too load. The spring airsoft sniper rifle is the kind I always recommend because they last the longest and are much more dependable.

Airsoft sniper rifles are typically single shot bolt action rifles which can take longer to load and prepare to fire. They also shoot farther and more accurate than other rifles and pistols.

Sniper rifles require you to stay where you are and pick off your targets. Beginners enjoy this method because they can usually take out anyone coming near them.

As the beginning play logs in more hours of airsoft play, they often decide on a different type of weapon that allows them more movement. It is fun to pick off your opponents, but it is also fun to sneak up on a sniper and take him out.

Even though an airsoft sniper rifle can shoot farther than many other guns, it still takes a steady shot to hit the long distance targets. If you miss, you will probably still have time to take a couple more shots before they are on you, but once your cover is blown and a few enemies come at you, your time will be very short if all you have is a sniper rifle.

For that reason I always recommend that a sniper also carry an airsoft revolver with them for those quickly approaching targets.
