Airsoft Question

[TheBoy988]

As for the hicaps thing, couple times a month throw a "Mil-Sim special" game where hicaps are banned. like every other saturday or something.

I'm in the process of writing an operation at Cow Town where high caps will not be allowed.

To those complaining about getting paint on your gear, simple fix!!!! Don't lean on the paint!!! Easy as jumping down stairs, you just don't jump down more than you can handle. For those who want to try flame me... Think... MilSim, you think people in combat are gonna complain about leaning on a wall with blood on it??

Have you never played at SASCO or something?  More often than not, it's covered in paint.  Maybe it's a lack of imagination on my part, but I have a hard time picturing a wall in Iraq/Afganistan/whatever, with as much blood on it as there is paint at SASCO.  Plus that's ignoring the obvious fact that we are still doing this for fun.  I mean, MilSim, I don't think people in combat are going to complain about me throwing bricks at you because I don't have any thing else handy but I think you might have a problem with me throwing bricks at you during a game.

Really? That was not even practical to comment on. But, I take it you have no idea how the military works. I never said anything about there being as much blood, as there is paint on a wall. But, I'll explain to you.. In the military, there's certain guidelines and rules you "HAVE" to follow, like when entering a building, you can't stand 6 feet away from a wall, and somehow breach, you have to be hugging the wall... Which.. OMG!! It might have blood on it!! I never said you couldn't throw bricks, just know.. I get hit by anything other than a BB, and that person and I, will have some problems. Same thing with the guy that threw a brick at me while in another country, throw a brick, I'll throw a grenade, or my fist in your face. Shoot at me, I shoot at you. It's a pretty simple concept.

If anything, all you did was just prove my point further.  I'm sorry if it wasn't clear, I'll try to speak slower this time.  Airsoft is a game.  While we are simulating military (to an extent), that doesn't mean things you would HAVE to live with in the military are things we WANT to replicate in airsoft.  While in the military you MAY be put in a situation where you are required to get some blood on your uniform, that doesn't mean you WANT to be put into a situation while airsofting where you'll get paint/blood/whatever on your gear.  After all, we are still doing this for fun.  I can't picture you getting blood all over your uniform while serving and going "wow, that was fun, I wonder if I can find more blood in the next building".

The walls are often so saturated in paint at SASCO that even if you try not to touch the walls, you are still going to get paint all over you.  It's not just getting it off that's the problem.  The paint is so sticky and thick that you can't really wipe it off and even if you have no problem with it being all over your gear and clothes, I'll wager you don't want it all over your car seats.  At least blood soaks in.

Also before some moron says to get the thread back on topic again, let me point out this is entirely relevant to the topic.  If some of you are happy to get paint all over your gear, more power to you.  I'm not however, and I know from experience I'm not alone in that regards.  Paint all over the field is a major turn off and one that needs to be considered carefully before a paintball company opens an airsoft field.

Then don't come out. Stop posting on a topic that doesn't mean anything to you. Stop complaining. Consider being a little more civil.

It's plainly obvious that the idea for a airsoft only field is to keep paint off the field. Why else would this thread even be here? Use a little bit of logic. Please stop trolling on this tread, go somewhere else and do it.

Or what?  You'll cry about it?

If you could pull your head out of your ass for 5 seconds you would see it's a valid concern.  There's been rumors about Vanguard allowing paintballers to use their new facility, it's no stretch of the imagination to think Fightertown may consider doing the same.  Allowing paintballers on their field (even if only occasionally) is something any business owner in their situation would consider.  Any business owner is always going to try to find ways to make more money off what resources they have and widening their market base for the new facility would do just that.  They are running a business, not a charity.  

Fightertown asked if it was a good or bad idea and for suggestions.  Regardless if I have any intention of going or not, I am giving feedback and suggestions which is exactly what they asked for.  I really don't care if my opinion is getting your panties in a bunch.  Here's a thought, maybe they would like the opinion of someone who's not already using their field(s).  They know they have your business either way so really, so they really don't need any input from you.  They are trying to expand their business and therefore want to know what they need to do to attract new players.

wow is this an example of the "Vet" syndrome you were talking about. damn dude grow up. why do we all feel the need to bring the testosterone in a damn forum, come on man.

[Pick]

"Vet" syndrome or not he has his opinion on it as we all do frankly I agree with him. I have spent too much time and money to get paint/blood/ whatever all over my stuff. If I wanted it I would go play paintball. He point is valid as a member of airsoft weither he plays or not at fightertown. The OP asked for opinions and he is getting that

[Fightertown 1]

If you play airsoft at a paintball field you probably will get paint on your equipment.  Yes it will clean off but alot of people do not want to deal with that.  That was the point of making a field just for airsoft.  If 90% of the airsoft players do not have a problem with alittle paint on their equipment then it makes no sense from a business standpoint for a seperate field.  If 75% of the airsoft players will only play at a location with no paint then it may make sense.  Plus I have to think of the players that will not want to pay a field fee and will only play at renegade fields.

Xavier Mace has brought more to the airsoft community and this forum than you have, or probobly ever will. That said, when youve done the same you can start making demands.


As far as the field goes, building an airsoft only field that is outdoors is a risky move in my opinion. Most airsofters will play outdoors when its cool, and they can do that at any number of free fields in the area. But when its hot they will go to an indoor field.

However, I have been to your field and I like it, if I lived in the area I could imagine myself going there every weekend in my cheap rig and uniform just for some trigger time. However I dont believe you will attract any new customers by spending the extra money on a paintless field.

[WOLFSPEC]

I live in Surprise and can't wait to get out to try your facility. The fact that its near my house as opposed to 'Cowtown', is enough to draw me to Fightertown. I like convenience more than a little paint getting on me. Of course, if its reall messy then I can understand the separate field thing......

[WOLFSPEC]

What about lights at fightertown? Do you guys have a once amonth or twice a month thing with getting lights out there?? I know I'd be up to paying more at any facility that has lights on...

[fourwheeltrooperguy]

There are great lights at fightertown, Henry has them set up and actually they stay on most games because of the extensive trench network that runs through fields 1 and 3. Trust me you don't want to take an unplanned dive into them, they are pretty deep!

[Bowser]

Trust me you don't want to take an unplanned dive into them, they are pretty deep!

Dunno what you're talking about - I took an "unplanned dive" into those trenches and ended up taking out a bunch of people.

Just bring a few extra pairs of socks and you'll be fine.  :mrgreen:

[koadrewko]

Idk about this because of the maintnence issuem but I know that a grass field would be the best of all. Only because it would be be different then playing in the dirt or on cement.
I think everyone would have to come out to play like that =P

i think something with towers. maybe just a hill with some sandbags as cover. (i understand that you may want to keep everything ground level do to barriers)

The helicoptors are awsome. Altho the rvs were a little bit of a camp zone.

maybe a cupple paths that would fit a rhino through it. for vip missions.

not the only things that should be in a field but would totally be cool to have in there.

i like the building ideas and streets for an urban place to play aswell.
