The rage of AIRSOFT war

 Definitely not the rebels of these times. This is one of the participating Airsoft clans who travelled from Visayas to join the tournament held in Multinational, Parañaque City.

These guys spared time to play this cool shooting game using real guns loaded with pellets. A clan has to have almost similar designs of camouflage uniforms to appear like a real soldier (of fortune) while most just donned on any military attires added with whatever distinctive group accessory to tell them apart from other clans. I found it cool to see these guys in their most coolest attire equipped with bullet vests, pads and airsoft masks, because even pellets can lash out skins when hit. Imagine a 700-800 rpm of fired pellets hits you on exposed flesh and see how painful those reddish dots could be. I myself would definitely do not want to be hit even by stray shots while watching the intense game once hot summer day.

~This tournament has game objectives: They are to retrieve the bomb and bring it back to their base and detonate it before the given time ended.

~Two opposing clans compete in retrieving a bomb situated in a strategic enclosure in the middle of the field while hostilely shooting members of the enemy. Of course each clan has already studied how to execute their game plans. Others has successfully retrieved the bomb but failed to detonate it. Others has effectively eliminated the enemies with players too aggressive in assaulting the opposing players. It really is war for these fanatics and the marshals are busy blowing whistles to say that their watched players were already hit and is out of the game.

Airsoft is getting popular or is now popular and the thrill and satisfaction these soldier-wannabees get will certainly make their day as most of them has different jobs that is very  far from being a real gunslinger of the west. Lolz. These hobbyist doesn't mind getting  exposed to different elements. (A real soldier-like attitude eh). They won't mind the searing heat of an afternoon sun that drenched them with clammy sweats while busy shooting enemy clans. They also don't care getting mosquito bites in the dark canopied-jungles of Laguna on one of their out-of-town tournaments. They are actually close to becoming a real soldier except that their real jobs doesn't function the way real soldiers' dedication in protecting people against the society's too real frightening elements.

The Abu Sayyaf Clan? These guys looked shy but they become ruthless and merciless in the warring field.

I never thought that these guys are real medical staffs on one of QC's hospital until I get to see them on smocks, gloves and masks. Funny but the interests these players have on Airsoft is more than the thrill from what their real world can offer. This is much better than firing the real gun and slaying people.

This man is a vet doctor sharing Airsoft passion with his kids. In front is the youngest player of 11 having ever joined the tournament. Since there are only 3 of them, they allied with other clans who are short with players.
