Airsoft: Team Deathmatch

What is airsoft? 

Airsoft is a game, a sport or even a leisure activity. The designation often differs between practitioners. It can be compared to a similar activity, better known to the general public: paintball. The main difference lies in the power source of the rifles and pistols. Paintball guns are equipped with gas tanks, while for airsoft, the replicas are powered by an electrical source. Moreover, unlike paintball, airsoft relies essentially on fair play, as the BBs do not mark the person hit. As mentioned earlier, the rifles and pistols used in airsoft are called "replicas" because they are representations replicating the appearance of a weapon and not its use. Replicas are much more realistic in airsoft.

This discipline is practiced within an association or organization bringing together several players. If you are new to airsoft, or have just joined an association, know that the practice differs from one game to another, but also from one association to another and even between different teams. Indeed, airsoft is based on different game scenarios, depending on the location and number of participants.

Team Deathmatch 

The scenario of Team Deathmatch (TDM) is the basic principle of an airsoft game. This scenario is the first game mode practiced when you start in the discipline.

Two teams face off with the goal of achieving the most eliminations possible within a set time or "score".

Before starting the game, each team chooses a starting point (Spawn Point). From then on, your objective will be to eliminate your opponents. If you are hit, you return to the spawn point. As mentioned earlier, the game can take place within a set time limit or count the number of times you are killed, with the number of "respawns" being limited. At the end of the game, the team that has eliminated the most opponents or has the most members still in play wins the game.

If you want to intensify your games, you can remove the respawn point and impose only one elimination allowed per person, which will make the stakes even more important. This is a scenario that can quickly become very fast-paced, with many strategies that can be adopted thanks to allies who cover your back.

Finally, we can never emphasize enough the importance of protection, essential when practicing airsoft. It is necessary to always wear eye protection whether it be a mask or safety glasses. In addition, numerous equipment will allow you to ensure optimal protection. Opt for elbow pads and knee pads, a helmet, a tactical vest, ... All the necessary equipment available now on your online store vetsecurite.com.
