[Here
you will find information on AGA and Airsoft]
Airsoft/Paintball
Gamers Alliance:
In
the summer of 2000, Nightcrawler and Mr.X decided
to create a group for airsoft players without a team... Airsoft-Paintball
Gamers
Alliance...
NOTE:
Recently, AGA has been reformed to Airsoft-Paintball....
We are a group of airsofters
located north of California Bay Area , mostly from
San Jose. We are not a Competitive Group, therefore
we do not accept any challenges, or any kind of 'Team
Battle'. We try to come together at least once a month
and skirmish each other and have a good fun airsoft/paintball
day. We are trying to bring the basis of "fake
war" back which is not to simulate real hostile
situations but to promote that u can do all this without
risking your life and therefore shouldn't be taken
too seriously. Hence the reason why we play only for
fun. The concept of AGA is to bring airsoft players
of any level or skill together, and to simply enjoy
airsofting/paintballing. The people featured in the
Airsofters and Gallery section are airsoft players
(may or may not be in AGA.) that play on Airsoft Gamers
Alliance Fields.
We are also in association with Task Force X---jointed
with JASOC.
What is Airsoft?:
Gamers
are REQUIRED to wear eye protection.
Airsoft?-
Airsoft
is similiar to Paintball, but instead of unrealistic
looking guns used in paintball, Airsoft guns are full
size 1:1 scale replicas of real firearms. Instead
of balls of paint, they fire a lightwieght 6mm plastic
BB at speeds of 200-450FPS(Feet Per Second) with semi
and fully automatic action.
Does it hurt?-
Compared
with paintball, it hurts less. Paintball= Bruise,
Airsoft= Sting. From far away it doesnt hurt as
much. Airsoft gun are dangerous at close range, therefore
most gamers have a rule of no shooting at close range(5-15ft,
depending on the power of the gun). At close range
you may get a BB welt(size of a bug bite) The welt
usually goes away if not the next day, then in a couple.
How you get "TAGGed" out-
Airsoft
is played on the 'HONESTY system', if you feel yourself
getting hit by a BB, you call yourself out. Or a gamer
can hit you and honestly see the BBs hitting you,
he can call you OUT.
