Video I'm looking for

[Wrath144]

There's an airsoft video I'm looking for and I can't find. I remember seeing it a year or two ago. It's from an asian country (not sure which). It involved hit detection vests and masks, with speedball-style rounds and a scoreboard.

This?

YouTube - airsoft cqb game(Is not zombie)

[Wrath144]

Yep, that's it. Thanks.
That's pretty cool stuff. Makes airsoft pretty much like a videogame.

the system they use would be great. it'd stop people from not calling their hits and noobs would be able to follow the rules alot more quickly than usual.

If you're playing with enough people not calling their hits to warrant such a system, you're playing with the wrong people.

WOW. I'm hooked. I want one of those. Does anyone want to do organize a group order of this?

One thing though, we use LBV and CIRAS systems, in the video they weren't using vests (it appeared they were using either mid or high caps). How would we adapt it to use here? Part of the reality thing comes from us using real caps and reloading and using vests and chest rigs. I see it right now as trading some realism to get some realism. Does anyone have an answer to how to adapt that system it for use here?

also those helmets look proprietary, we would need to get them ANSI/CSA rated in order to use here would we not (for insurance purposes)? (Well unless the field owner takes us for our word that it's ANSI/CSA rated)

Although what saint says is true, it would still be cool, that way we can have some sort of scoring system and make airsoft that much more "legitimate" (because it's a competition now not a bunch of guys shooting each other with BB guns).

What, you mean fencing was any less legitimate a sport back before electronic hit-detection, or any less a sport now when they fence dry?

I think it'd be a lot more frustrating to rely on a system that's likely to detect ricochet as valid hits, while not tracking valid hits to 60% of your surface area. If airsoft needs to rely on technological gimmicks to validate itself as an activity, it'd be over for us by now.

When I said that I was actually thinking of paintball.

Before it was an "outlaw sport". (I wasn't even around then). I believe though that with the proliferation of tournaments and speedball that it became more legitimate and mainstream. But I guess you are right, we don't need a gimmicky system that may detect ricochets and only cover 60% of your body, all we need is honesty and fairplay.

... It's all fun and games until a tree branch brushes up against you then you're forced to go back to respawn.

IMO, Airsoft is fine how it is right now... aslong as you're not playing with cheaters.

[BORDENSNIPER]

airsoft is fine, cheaters are usually pretty obvious and dont last long anyway.

if u konw someone is cheating, well...keep sending a stream at them till they f off

Or, like always you'll shower them with your grenade luncher.
