Basically toys that shoot plastic powered by c02 made to look like real guns to simulate "battle". Often played by white suburban teenagers and young adults at their nearest friends house with a wooded backyard.

I'd imagine it's exactly like paint ball only taken "more serious". They often take the plastic tip on the end off which is illegal as it indicates the gun is a toy because they want the guns to look real as they shoot each other in the woods with them.

Pretty ghey. Paintball is much more fun.

Although, we actually use these sort of things during MOUT training. We switch out the receivers on our rifles and fire these plastic looking bullets with a chalk tip.

That is actually fun when you have teams going against each other in a 10 building simulated town.

Try 20 on 20 in a town like this. I trained here when I was a young Devil Pup.

Its 3 days of boring AF drills and classes, then they let you loose to go at one another.

Two 'engagements' during the day, and one at night.

That shit was fun.

Cool if you go with some friends as a one off occasion, like paintballing.

Uncool if you go every week and own a shit load of your own equipment

When we were like 12 to 14 we would do that with bb and pellet guns

We had a common agreement to aim chest down and some of us would sometimes wear ski or swimming googles (they looked gay but saved a few of us from eye shots)

It was insanely fun though
