Rules and Introduction

24 Upvotes

Rules at a glance:

  1. Don't be a dick.
    1. Don't be rude, have some general decorum. Insults and personal attacks are not appreciated or tolerated.
  2. Don't be a bigot.
    1. Don't be a dick to people due to their race, gender, religion, disability, being poor, sexual preference, or gender identity. This includes science denial on these matters.
  3. Don't use slurs
  4. No trolling
  5. No dogwhistles
  6. No fascist apologia
    1. Those anti-left people who do, for some reason think it's worth their time to come and stir the pot are only interested in bad faith participation and spreading their propaganda, which does not facilitate a safe or productive community.
  7. No meta discussion
    1. If you have an issue with the subreddit as it operates, feel free to message the moderators directly.

-
As far as the introductions go:

Hey, we're LeftWingAirsoft, and we're pretty much what it says on the tin: We're a subreddit of left wing airsofters and however that manifests. For some it's a safe space for those who need it and align with the general progressive or left leaning view on life. For others it's just a place to post their kit that does have some left wing history to it. However you take it, we hope it's what you need.

-

Regarding moderation, we're still a relatively small mod team proportionate to the population here, so we need your help reporting problematic posts as they arise. We'll get to them as soon as we're able. Thanks in advance, and thanks for understanding if we don't get to them immediately. Try not to engage with any problem posts as that only exacerbates the issue.

Had my AK for some months now and after putting some time and effort in, I'm almost done and pretty happy so far. Only thing missing is a magwell, which I should get in January.

Besides the visible changes I also upgraded the hopup unit to a metal one and retrofitted the rifle with an efcu and deans-t connectors.

Anything missing?

Anyone in South Florida?

4 Upvotes

I wish there was a community I can be a part of, if one doesn't exist, I would like to call people within my local to help build something new. If there already is, I would like to see if I would be a good fit(and a way to logistically start like a discord link or something).

Thank you ❤️

is airsoft legal in british columbia CA?

17 Upvotes

i’m a girl since the last time i played so i’m not thrilled on going back to the local field where guys were running around in rhodesian camo, skull facemasks and a literal SS uniform unbothered.

but i do want to be a tac2cool operator girl and i have some cool fit ideas that involve crop tops and drop leg holsters.

I used to think there was no point for this sub because I was under the impression our cool hobby as apolitical, but now I can understand your sentiments.

60 Upvotes

Let me start off by saying I am not left wing. I happen to be more right wing, but I can now empathize with people in this sub having discontent with a lot of aspects of the hobby. r/airsoftcirclejerk was flaming me for being critical of wearing Nazi memorabilia to the field - in the case of my post, it was someone wearing a helmet with a swastika on it. For whatever reason I may be in the minority for thinking wearing any of that crap without reenacting is unnecessary. Am I that crazy for thinking all the Nazi-related bullshit should stay out of airsoft if it isn’t for historical purposes? It’s exceptionally hard to try to explain this to ignorant people especially as a Jew where it may seem that I have an obvious predisposed view in this subject.

Cull your feeds

76 Upvotes

Lots of reasons to unfollow, block, and delete today. On every platform. This includes fields, products, influencers, uncles, etc., that show that they don’t care about whether you live or die.

A local airsoft field posts “Thank god” about the orange dictator? (I’m looking at you, Highland in SoCal) Unfollow, block, and spend your dough on admission elsewhere if you have the option and NEED to play.

You’re NEVER going to be able to fully divest (we’re talking gear, guns, and accessories, here, after all). But if you’re spinning out because your hobby feed is full of bootlickers and rectumsuckers celebrating the continuation of fascism’s empowerment… Delete, block, etc., and maybe you spend that hobby money on LEGO or woodburning or donations to your local unhoused care delivery group or whatever.

Take a breath, assess your situation, then act. We can’t fight at full strength without YOU, comrade.

Build your community IN REAL LIFE. Check in with your queer cousin who doesn’t know what to do. Text that coworker who just arrived in this country. Be a PERSON in the LIVES of the people around you.

We need EACH OTHER, because our country is ready to abandon and harm us.

Yall think that, in some way, a mil sim is good for practice of conflict?

8 Upvotes

Milsim tends to have a lot of vets and the like in them. And a lot of them take legit skermishes an replays them through fields. So imo I could def see doing some milsim or really any air soft as a pretty safe, and probabl effective way of practicing tactics and the like.

At thevery least. I'd imagine someone taking Airsoft seriously would end up doing better in a real scenario then someone who sat on their ass.

Military Simulation Airsoft Die NVA now recruiting

1 Upvotes

Greetings, comrades. Die Nationale Volksairsoft (NVA) is currently seeking members interested in attending milsim events (and just to play airsoft in general). We aim to be a big-tent leftist group with no political intentions - just no fucking fash or reactionaries allowed.

Our only requirements thus far are:

1) Be 18 or older
2) Use generally Rusfor/Militia equipment and guns (AK, RPK, etc)
3) East German (DDR) Strichtarn uniform (jacket/shirt, pants, headwear)

We are not interested in doing super accurate impressions of a particular DDR military element, just wearing the pattern and playing bb wars with comrades. If you want to go wild developing an impression of a late 80's 40. Fallschirmjägerbataillon soldier you are more than welcome to as long as the impression will comply with group uniform requirements at events.

We are currently targeting Milsimwest's next Hill 559 (Kharkiv) event in late February as our first outing. Playing as Militia this time, Rusfor in the future. If you're interested, hit me up for an invite to the Discord!
