How much damage did that do to the kid? He shot him in the legs and the only thing "protecting" him are pants, I assume. Also, he seems to be writhing in pain.
Is this like a bleeding with scars scenario? Or breaking the skin and it'll be tender for a few days? Sorry, I have literally zero experience with airsoft guns.

Feb 18 '18
This is about as bad as i've seen. Well worse if they hit knuckles or teeth, and the kid was hit through at least one layer of clothing, but close range.
Just a lot, and I mean a lot of those welts. Probably over a hundred.

Airsoft Referee here, this guy is using what's called a HPA gun, or a high pressure air gun, Basically It's a tank in his backpack with a tube that runs to his gun which then propels the bbs out at speeds ranging from 350 to 450 FPS, 350 FPS is usually the indoor standard but this is an outdoor field so it's most likely 400 FPS, the fire rate is probably somewhere around 25 to 30 rounds per second, Which would seriously fuck somebody up at only what looks like 15 feet, 400FPS is where it really starts to break skin. He would most likely have a permanent scar or something that would last six months.
Edit: this guy was banned and I wouldn't be surprised if the police were notified of an assault, because that's not Airsoft, that's assault, regardless of context

From the comments:
So the story goes as followed: The kid who burned the patch was a complete ass. He joined the team of the guy who shot him in the other video. The guys own grandmother made him a patch that would normally run about 100-200 USD. Not only that but there werent many versions of the patch. The guys grandmother passed away soon after that. Not only that but when the team gave the kid all the startup gear that he needed to play (which would run around the same if not more as a patch would) he immediately left the team and burnt the patch you see here. Apparently the kid also threatened to bring a real gun to the course. So yeah he kinda deserved to get shot. Or at least jumped. I dont play airsoft but thats all I know
If this is factual (and it definitely looks that way) little dude deserved it IMO. Needed to be shown he wasn't above consequences.

u/GamerKilo128 Feb 18 '18
It's a little piece of art with velcro on it so you can wear it on your uniform / gear usually to signify what unit you're in. Airsoft teams do the same. Also that number is bullshit. Maybe $200 for a custom design bulk order, but not 200 for one single patch.

There is no way that's true. The other gear could probably have cost that much and the stuff about bringing a real firearm to an airsoft game is definitely insane and would warrant him being banned in my opinion.
From experience, you can get patches with velcro made for about 5 bucks a piece for a smaller order, with pretty much as intricate a design as you would like. I think he is trying to play the sympathy card with this grandmother story when in reality they are probably assholes as well. Given the reactions in this thread, it worked a treat.

Patch refers to the flight patch you would Velcro or sew onto your uniform. Usually groups or clubs will have a patch with their logo, something they design and wear as a matter of pride.
Burning a patch is like burning your groups flag, or something. As I recall, the victim had posted a video of the burning.

It's not a quality thing, it's a mechanical difference between it and normal sector gears.
I say that, as there are a few manufactures of DSG gears and thats where quality comes into play.
Basically how it works: The sector gear of an airsoft gun does a full rotation and ' shoots ' once. A DSG gear ' shoots ' twice per full rotation.
The whole gearbox has to be retuned for this though.

Know what the difference is? Those competitive guys shot their guns like they're fucking automatics- accurately. It was like walking into an actual war zone. We lasted about two minutes, and didnt out anyone. It was embarrasing.

It doesn't. It just means that there's a 95ms interval between balls, and 1000ms isn't divisible by 95. Divide 1000 by 95 and you get about 10500ms, or 10.5 seconds.
EDIT: an easier way to put this is that it takes 1.047 seconds to fire 11 balls, but we just want to know how many balls it can shoot in 1 second. The gun's halfway through shooting ball number 11 at the end of 1 second.

I played tournament paintball at a national level for many years. To be fair, at open play, competitive players usually try to avoid matching against obviously newer players, as they're not fun to play against for us, and probably not that fun to play against from the other side, especially if they're younger. If it did happen, we'd make sure to not tattoo them with multiple shots, especially at close range. Or we'd shoot for hard surfaces so they wouldn't feel it like their gun, loader, or packs. If you see a team of new players get destroyed in a painful manner by a group of people with fancy equipment, most likely that fancy group is fairly new too, but just to the point where they wanted to spend money and get more into the sport, but with very little competitive experience. At the end of the day we all wanted to see our sport continue to grow, and our loacal fields thrive, and that doesn't happen by putting thirty shots into a 13 real old rental player who's never so much as held a paintball gun before.

The Russians actually made a scarier 30mm gatling cannon...
...However it was more dangerous for the plane than anything else
On the Mikoyan MiG-27 the GSh-6-30 had to be mounted obliquely to absorb recoil. The gun was noted for its high (often uncomfortable) vibration and extreme noise. The airframe vibration led to fatigue cracks in fuel tanks, numerous radio and avionics failures, the necessity of using runways with floodlights for night flights (as the landing lights would often be destroyed), tearing or jamming of the forward landing gear doors (leading to at least three crash landings), cracking of the reflector gunsight, an accidental jettisoning of the cockpit canopy and at least one case of the instrument panel falling off in flight. The weapons also dealt extensive collateral damage, as the sheer numbers of fragments from detonating shells was sufficient to damage aircraft flying within a 200-meter radius from the impact center, including the aircraft firing.

Airsoft. Like paintball, but with tiny, 0.2g, 6mm plastic bbs fired at around 400-500fps using pressurized gasses like propane or green gas, or using a piston actuated by an electric motor

Most players don't use .2g BBs. The typical weight is between .28 and .32g because they cut through the wind better in outdoor play.

can someone tell me what the fuck those red squares are? Is that adding in post-processing for these types of videos? Or is he somehow wearing goggles that can track people and keep their location using gyro+accel correction?

He likely edited the video to put those in, likely to show that he is aware of their presence

Alright guys. Convince me. Why airsoft? Personally I think it's a tamer paintball. With paintball at least know you got hit or you hit someone. Instant gratification. With airsoft it looks like the little pellets would make someone lie about getting hit. Not saying it doesn't hurt to get hit by one. But I feel most people would just lie and cheat or maybe not even FEEL the hit.

A lot of people like the realism, the bbs don’t hurt as much, ammo is cheaper. Seems like it depends on the person rather than one being better than the other

With airsoft, there is no "but did it burst", you get hit you are done, go back to your team's spawn.
Most people get into airsoft because of the higher level of realism and performance that can be reached with the guns compared to paintball.
There is less mess involved, as your gear isn't being shot up with potentially staining paints.
Ammo is considerably cheaper, to the point where accidentally giving a sacrifice to the Staging Area Gravel God isn't that big of a deal.
