I'd honestly be cool going to a Milsim West thing. It's just that it costs a FUCKTON of money if you want to be adequately prepared. At a minimum you need to show up with: * Full uniform (underwear and headgear not required, but a belt and at least 3 pairs of socks are) * Picture ID * Notepad and pen or pencil * Wristwatch * Empty IFAK pouch * The ability to carry at least 2 liters of water on your person * Airsoft gun * Eye protection * Sleeping bag * At least 2 days of food and water * Cold/wet weather gear * Large, heavy duty garbage bag * A lock for your locker That's just what you need when you arrive to be allowed to play. This isn't getting into the cost of gas and batteries for your gun(s), load-bearing gear, an optional sidearm and everything that needs to function, radios, tools and duct tape, personal hygiene stuff because you're spending two days straight on the field, etc. And then the cost of a ticket and transportation, especially if you live in a different state from the event. All in all, you could probably expect to spend anywhere from $400 to $1000 depending on how prepared you are beforehand. When I do scenario games here, I pay $35 for a ticket and show up with the stuff I already have at my house. They even throw in a free lunch.

That said, we get some cool guys there. On Saturday I played with a retired 24-year Air Force vet who tinkered with an M60E4 replica until he had the sexiest gun on the field with a belt of inert 7.62mm going into the ammo box.

I like how airsoft types like to blow enormous amounts of money simulating the military. It's really realistic.

the best part is the military spends tons of money trying to make guns lighter while airsoft nerds pay extra so their guns are heavy

In the great Venn diagram of losers, I imagine the overlap between arma dorks and airsoft weirdos is significant.

Watch that arma real life stuff where they all play cops for about five seconds and wonder just what in the gently caress. I peeked in once and caught a marriage ceremony. Everyone was in tactical gear.

Trench warfare gotta be the gnarliest poo poo.  Theres places in France where you still see the craters, and now about 100 years later, there are still places people are not allowed to go, and where nothing grows because of the of residue chemicals after years of near constant bombardment in WW1.

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned out backs, And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots, But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame, all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of gas-shells dropping softly behind. Gas! GAS! Quick, boys! - An ecstasy of fumbling Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time, But someone still was yelling out and stumbling And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime.- Dim through the misty panes and thick green light, As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. In all my dreams before my helpless sight He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning. If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace Behind the wagon that we flung him in, And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin, If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,- My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori.
