Airsoft-HK (A-HK) is created for the international community of players living in Hong Kong who enjoy playing the game as an escape from reality, an active sport, and/or a way to unwind.
we are not a clan because most clans require some form of registration and initiation process. i view clan members as people that take airsoft rather seriously. in most cases, they have a ranking system, enter competitions or challenges, and have matching uniforms. we are not like that and have a more casual view of airsoft gaming.
Airsoft-HK members are made up of my friends and their friends who have become my friends. airsoft gaming is primarily viewed by us as a means to escape from the typical day of work, work, work, and work (pssst…sometimes family, but i didn’t say that). it is a day to release any bent up frustration or stress by running around with airsoft guns trying to shoot one another. airsoft guns that we know won’t kill anyone, but still gives you that level of anxiety that it’s better not to get hit by one. everyone is bound to get hit in any given game.
we do this in the name of fun and relaxation. it’s a bit of an oxymoron, but we view this no different then playing billiards, tennis, rugby, video games, or chess as the purpose of the game is to defeat the opposing person or team. people probably get more injured in sports like boxing or football.
we like airsoft as it’s also a very active sport where environment plays a big role. we can be outside, running around, crawling, dodging, jumping, rolling, anything to stay in the game that is not construed as cheating. in the end, i am there to see my friends laugh, joke, take the piss out of one another, and generally have a bloody (not literally) good time.
furthermore, it's a team sport where you have the same goals and work together to try and achieve it. you will need to rely on your teammates as much as your own skills if you want to succeed.
how to join Airsoft-HK and our games will be posted in a separate thread as this one’s become very long winded. i hope it gives you all a clear picture as to who we are.
