We all have seen it and possibly been part of one. You know what I am talking about...true scenario based playing. We all been part of it, hell, even planned a few events. Every one from The Swamp, WarSport NW to even yours truly has helped in planning and trying to organize events for the masses. While most events were fun, there were some that was just a complete flop and turned into just BBWars to which no surprise it turns to be total organized clusterfuck. But where those lack, some might pickup the pieces and make it something.
I am referring to AIRSOC.
While very little is known about it or what it is, this in its entirety may be the only sole piece of article you may find that talks about it. While very little is know about it, i will tell you roughly 7 to 9 years ago when AP was supreme, true scenario based training/playing was thriving quite well, open to everyone a lot of people got their start from that time. Buldings, open arenas and true CQB or CQC shit was happening. Some how as the years progressed, people started to leave, grow out of the sport and frankly lost interest along with that; so did that type of gameplay.
However...
This re-introduction of AIRSOC is the opposite, like...alot. Its all 18+, invite only, closed game groups to the "who you know' inner community that you get brought in from the inside. Fully indoctrinated, rostered and numbered. Interesting right? Exclusive? Yea, isn't all good things are anyway?
This maybe the thing turn to turn the sport around, I remain hopeful because as we all know, even Idaho has a bigger airsoft scene than us and we even have more airsoft stores than they do. Just saying (Love you Idaho- Combat Sport Supply..great store!
)
That being said, we could use some high speed grown up competitive challenges. Will the theme stand the test of time? Will people come to support it? Better yet...will you as the reader be invited and be part of this type of gameplay. As mentioned in a discussion with one of the organizers, this is based on the individuals participation and desire to be involved. We have a strong lack of to be involved where people come and go. Very few of us stay and remain committed, sure life and work happens but we know we all come to a community that we love and know. This is the reason why I love Airsoft Pacific as a member when I was new to the game and now as one of the owners.
inclosing, its 2021 now, its about time to change the game. Changes starts with you.
Stay Frosty,
