Today was my 3rd time to play airsoft. It was great because I had the chance to play 5 games not like before. But at the same time I felt bad knowing that there are new and old players who do not follow airsoft safety rules.
Before I actually play airsoft, what I did was I went first to the game site to watched and observed how this sport is being played. I have heard airsoft and seen airsoft gun before from my cousin but I have never seen him play.
That day I've seen and saw players complaining that they got hit in close range in the head, the opponent doesn't shout "hit", etc... I admit I was kind of afraid when I saw that there is a chance they you'll get shot in the eyes. That what makes me hesitant to play at first, of course nobody wants to get blind, right?
Today, sad to say that my friend had accidentally shot someone at the hips while we were on the safe zone. I'm sure that he didn't mean it but of course it was his fault because he didn't remove the magazine from his gun when he left the battlefield, no questions ask.
I know that joining this game there is a possibility of getting hurt. But the hazard can be avoided if the airsoft player knows the safety rules. I'm sure that everyone will agree with me that this sport is about honesty but beside that I think think this game should also be about discipline, inside and outside the airsoft war zone.

Airsoft Sniper Rifle
When I arrived home from work, I saw my friend playing with his Sony PSP. I asked him if I can borrow it so I can play first and relax after a busy day of work, I decided to play the Medal of Honor Heroes 2 which is something like the counter strike I guess.
The game was like airsoft where there are specific objectives to achieve. And while playing it, there's a part where you can pick another type of gun, a sniper rifle. While playing the game and using the sniper rifle, I started to like using the gun because you can just look for a better position and fire at your opponent easily. So thinking that an airsoft sniper rifle is good gun to use in airsoft, I search the internet for cheap airsoft gun rifle but because it's already late and I have no more time to google, I haven't found one and what I saw was this one where it doesn't require pumping not like what I saw with my fellow airsoft players here, this gun is just simply point and shoot.
This is the AEG Electric G&G GR25 Sniper Rifle Airsoft Gun. It features a very durable construction with realistic weight and feel. This M16 shoots 310-315 FPS. The magazine holds 50 rounds.
Electric Airsoft Rifles use batteries as their power source, they're usually fully automatic, and they shoot very fast. If you are looking for continuous fire fun, this is the type of Airsoft Gun for you - just hold down the trigger and watch those BB's stream out, one after the other, in a straight, swift line - which means fun and entertainment, plain and simple. This Electric Airsoft Rifle doesn't require any pumping just simply point and shoot.

Solon wants production and sale of imitation firearms banned
A Mindanao lawmaker is seeking to prohibit the manufacture and sale of toy look-alike or imitation firearms, which he claimed have contributed to the rising criminality in the country.
Cagayan de Oro Rep. Rufus Rodriquez said there is no law prohibiting the manufacture or production of imitation firearms, which can be used by lawless elements in the commission of crimes against persons.
Rodriguez said his proposal embodied in House Bill 3426 would protect the welfare of citizens.
The proposal defines "toy-alike or imitation firearm" as any imitation of any original firearm which was manufactured, designed and produced since 1898, including toy guns, water guns, replica non-guns and airsoft guns firing non-metallic projectiles.
Under the proposal, it shall be unlawful for any person to produce, manufacture, sell, use, ship, transport, give or receive any toy look-alike or imitation firearm unless such firearm contains, or has affixed to it, a marking approved by the Secretary of the Department of Trade and Industry.
The required DTI's distinctive marking for imitation firearms shall have as an integral part, a permanently affixed, blaze orange pulp inserted in their barrel. Such plug shall be recessed no more than 6 millimeters from the muzzle end of the barrel.
The proposal further provides that the DTI chief may provide for an alternative marking or device for any imitation firearm not capable of being marked and may waive the requirement of any such marking or device for any imitation firearm that will only be used in the theatrical, film or television industry.
Any offenders shall be fined with P50,000 or imprisoned for at least six months, or both at the discretion of the court. The Philippine National Police director-general shall be directed to conduct a study of the criminal misuse of imitation firearms, the bill provides.

Airsoft Guns
Almost 3 months now since I created this blog. This blog is all about airsoft guns and maybe you noticed that I have not described what airsoft guns is so let me tell it to you.
Airsoft guns (also known as Soft Air guns by some manufacturers, such as Cybergun and Crosman) are spring, electric, or gas powered air guns that fire small spherical plastic pellet of either 6 mm or 8 mm diameter (0.24 or 0.32 inches), although spring-operated "air guns" may be disputed as air guns altogether. Very cheap airsoft guns are normally underpowered and unsuitable for match play, but some Chinese manufacturers such as Jing Gong (Echo 1) are now producing match-quality AEG's for under $100. The more expensive models by manufacturers such as Tokyo Marui and Classic Army are preferred by professional players due to their reliability and accuracy.
Most airsoft guns are replicas of real firearms, inkeeping with the realistic style of airsoft, but occasionally fictional firearms or body kits are available, such as the M41A Pulse Rifle from the Aliens films. Some very inexpensive airsoft guns are reduced scale models (such as the Boys models by some makers) or caricatures (such as the mini-electrics) of firearms. In addition, some designs are replicas of firearms that never even went into service or production, such as XM8 prototypes.

Operation Genesis - Airsoft Tournament Dubai
I was still able to watch on the first Friday of the game and I can say that it was really fun. My friend and I can only do is to watch them playing because only those seniors who were active since the club started were the one who can only play the game. Well, better luck next tournament buddy!
I would like to congratulate FEAR team for winning the contest and the runners up. And of course these teams will not win if nobody's competing with them so let's congratulate all the team's players, organizers, sponsors and all members of United Filipino Airsoft Club - UAE (UFAC-UAE) for putting an effort to have a successful airsoft competition like this.
HOOOOOOOOOYAAH!!!
